Cid & Baku

Cid inherits the title, I believe. So he wouldn't have been a member of Tantalus, but rather an heir to the throne.

<longshot> Cid was always having affairs and whatnot. Depending on the ages involved, is there a chance that Baku could be an illegitimate son? </longshot> I wouldn't be surprised if Cid had 'done the deed' with a Burmecian gal at some point, and produced the hybrid offspring.

It's not very likely, but the game doesn't tell you anything, so bring on the crackpot theories!

Speaking of Tantalus...Is it just me, or does Blank have a see through things ability...I don't see his eyes peeking from under the belt around his eyes so I was wondering how he sees properly?!!

He sees beneath the headband, which casts a shadow over his eyes.

thats probably why he is called "blank". or did everybody know? Ah well im just slow.

Maybe they were in the same school? Though somehow Cid got to be the regent of lindblum and Baku got to be the leader of a band of theives.
Maybe baku was the kid who sat at the back of the class, made paper aeroplanes (airships?), and fell asleep in geography.
Mind you, i find it hard not to doze off in geograph....zzzzzz

Maybe Baku had onced thieved Cid, and when Cid found out, he decided not to put Baku to death, but instead, use him...

Well, every ruler has to have someone to do their dirty work for them, right? Now, we all know that Cid used Baku and Tantalus in this instance, but it's also fair to assume that Cid has hired Baku to do other, somewhat illegal, tasks for him in the past, which would explain them going way back. As to how Cid initially became aware of Baku though, that's really down to sheer speculation I guess.

>>> How about if Baku cheated Cid, instead of thieved him
that also would explain why Cid started to look for other womans.

They were butt buddies back in the days.
