Cid (Final Fantasy II)

Cid is a character from Final Fantasy II. He is the first character from the series to bear this name (Cid of the Lufaine was only introduced in the Dawn of Souls remake of the original Final Fantasy), starting a tradition to name a character Cid in every subsequent Final Fantasy game. Cid's appearance and personality seem to have strongly influenced the design of Cid Highwind from Final Fantasy VII, in particular.
