Where Is Cyd Pridesire?

What prevented Cyd from reaching the rescue, and where is he now?

Cyd was expected to drive Casimir’s wagon into position for Thjazi’s teleportation. Teor expected to find him at the execution, Azune has not seen him, and Episode 1 ends without any contact or confirmed sighting.

Clues

SetupConfirmed01:45:04

Cyd Was Part of the Plan

Azune remembers that Cyd was supposed to participate in the attempt to rescue Thjazi.

RaisedReported01:45:17

Neither Teor nor Azune Has Seen Him

Teor expected to find Cyd at the execution, but neither he nor Azune has seen him. Azune abruptly leaves their conversation to investigate.

ClueConfirmed01:58:22

Cyd Was Connected to the Failed Extraction

Azune tells Occtis that Cyd was supposed to assist with the rescue. Cyd’s disappearance is now recognised as one of several missing links between the glyph stage and the extraction that never began.

ClueConfirmed02:37:00

Cyd Was Supposed to Position Casimir’s Wagon

The survivors establish that Cyd’s precise role was to move Casimir’s wagon into position so that Thjazi could teleport inside it. Cyd’s disappearance therefore removed a critical stage of the extraction plan.

Not established as canon

Theories

Possible

Cyd was intercepted before reaching the wagon position

This would explain both his absence and lack of communication, but no evidence of an interception is found.

Cyd abandoned or withdrew from the plan

Episode 1 provides no motive and no direct evidence that Cyd chose not to attend.

0 supporting · 0 contradicting evidence records
Possible

Cyd was involved in the sabotage
