Sid



Sid, also known as the Dark One, is a powerful being made of shadow. He serves as the main antagonist of the game.

Appearance
Sid is largely made up of darkness, his body taking on an ovular shape which emits shadows towards the bottom. The rest of his body also emits a few blobs of shadow which are outlined in white.

His face is octagonal and grey and is proportioned in such a way to make a long face. While his face is in a resting position, his mouth is simple with a small vertical slit where his lower lip could be. While smiling, his mouth looks like a triangle.

Personality
Sid speaks in a somewhat similar manner to the LoreKeeper, though his word choice is more antagonizing, as shown when he rewards the player after collecting 100 coins and phrasing it as 'rewarding them for their greed'.

Despite his major role in the game's story, he is not entirely 'serious' as he creates games for the Hub World and also created an island getaway within the Sun Domain - which as an InfoTab on said island reveals, Sid had even created brochures for.

When Sid is freed, the LoreKeeper reveals in the Hub World that Sid's greatest fault is his pride.

In the Context of the Story
Sid, as well as the dark ones, are recognized as enemies of the Sun Domain due to being the ones who sparked the war between them and the angels in the first place. However, it is implied Sid is the most powerful of the dark ones, as an InfoTab describes him as 'seeming unstoppable'. He was able to spread darkness throughout the Sun Domain until 7 powerful angels, named the Sacred 7, sacrificed their lives to seal Sid away.

Peace returned to the Sun Domain, though as the years passed and angels ascended, Sid began to stir again.

In the Context of the Game
Sid does not play a significant role in the game itself up until the player reaches Snowpeak Aquaduct, where 'the Dark One' is first mentioned in an InfoTab. Even then, however, Sid does not appear until the player completes the game, where after he is freed.

After completing the game, Sid begins to play a more significant part. Pieces of him become scattered in the Sun Domain, which become a part of the LoreKeeper's weekly quests. He also appears again after the player collects 100 coins and scales Sid's Tower, where Sid 'rewards them for their greed', giving them his wings and mask.
