Cid Highwind

"“Where are you, taking a nap?”"

- Saeth Hesry–

An ace pilot and the Shinra Electric Power Company's first astronaut, Cid has spent his life working to make his dreams come true. Travelling as a young man to Midgar to become a pilot, Cid's talents were quickly seized upon by Shinra and he began working on a flagship for Shinra's growing aeronavy, as well as being tapped to take part in the burgeoning Space Program. On the day of the launch, Cid aborted the countdown due to the presence of one of the mechanics, Shera, still in the belly of the rocket. After the aborted launch, Shinra cut back its Space Program and Cid was left to care for the remnants of his destroyed dream in the hopes that Shinra would one day decide to try again.

He spent time teaching the younger residents of Rocket Town how to fix things and even gave flying lessons to those he thought deserved the honor. One of the young people he mentored was Saeth Hesry, a tall drink of water who'd grown up right in Rocket Town. During a visit from the new President Rufus Shinra, Avalanche stole Cid's plane, the Tiny Bronco. He abandoned Shinra and joined Avalanche thereafter, leaving Rocket Town for the foreseeable future as he goes off on adventure.
