Cidolfus Orlandeau

Cidolfas Orlandu is the most powerful playable character in Final Fantasy Tactics. He is a Holy Swordsman, giving him access to the combined powers of Agrias Oaks, Gaff Gafgarion, and Meliadoul Tingel. He is given the moniker Thunder God Cid (abbreviated T.G. Cid).

Nanten General
Cidolfas is initially a general in the Nanten, but as the Lion War begins, he begins to fall out of favor with Prince Goltana. At about the same time, Ramza Beoulve saves his stepson Olan Durai from a gang of thieves, and later helps Olan destroy a group of defectors. After defeating Velius at Riovanes Castle, Ramza decides to search for Orlandu. He learns that the Hokuten are marching on the Nanten stronghold of Bethla Garrison, and sets out to stop the battle. Meanwhile, agents of the Murond Glabados Church falsely inform Goltana that Orlandu is a traitor, and Orlandu is arrested. However, Ramza manages to fight his way inside Bethla, and spring Orlandu from prison.

Meanwhile, Goltana is killed by Delita Hyral, who allows Orlandu to escape so that he can help Ramza in his quest to destroy the Lucavi. Delita then kills a decoy Orlandu. Orlandu joins forces with Ramza to battle the Lucavi. It is believed, but never confirmed, that he perished at the Graveyard of Airships when Altima exploded.
