Story
Cid invented the process of Magitek, which involves the extraction of magic from espers and the infusion of the power into humans. Magitek was used to create the army the Empire is known for. Cid's first guinea pig, Kefka Palazzo, underwent the process as a young man, and the rudimentary experiment twisted his mind, and Kefka became unpopular. Cid refined the process and used it on a two-year-old child named Celes. The experiment was a success, and Cid raised Celes like his own daughter. Cid had always been against the war and resented his discoveries and inventions being used in it. Unknown to Emperor Gestahl, Cid had delayed his findings by at least a decade.
Cid did not discover the true secret of extracting magic from espers was to reduce them to magicite, their remains after they die. It took Locke Cole and several of the Returners to show him this and as a result, Cid joins the Returners and petitions Gestahl to stop the war after helping Locke and his friends escape the Magitek Research Facility. He helps represent the Returners in a banquet with Gestahl and afterward, he follows Setzer Gabbiani to try to rebuild the Blackjack. His suggestion is to remove the Blackjack's casino so as to increase the speed, but Setzer does not want his help and so Cid leaves in a huff.
Cid's death.
Gestahl only uses the peace offering as a set up for him to obtain more espers and he no longer needs Cid. Kefka uses the powers he has obtained to defeat Gestahl and destroy the world by shifting the face of the planet by moving the Warring Triad out of alignment. One year later in the World of Ruin, Cid lives on the Solitary Island with Celes. He spends the year taking care of her, but becomes ill. Celes feeds him and depending on the quality of the fish she catches Cid either lives or dies. If he dies, Celes attempts suicide by jumping off a cliff, but falls into the water and splashes on shore, still alive. When she comes across Locke's bandana her hope for her old friends to have survived is renewed. She finds a note left by Cid showing her the location of a raft he made to use to go search for others. If he lives, Cid shows Celes the raft personally and stays behind on the Solitary Island while she departs.

Etymology
Cid's first name seems to be taken from Rodrigo Díaz de Vivar's title, El Cid Campeador. Cid is derived from the dialectal Arabic word سيد (sîdi or sayyid), which means "lord" or "master".
Continuing with the Spanish references, 'Del Norte Marquez' may be a reference to "Del Norte Márquez", a composite Spanish surname. Del Norte means "from the North". "Márquez" means "Son of a Marquis", a noble Spanish last name. "Marquez" is also a French second-personal plural that refers to marking or writing something down, or to remember something by using a mark.
