Cid Highwind
A first rate pilot affiliated with Shinra. Cid is the one chosen as the first man to fly into outer space as part of a campaign to raise the company's public image. While Cid has trained extensively as a pilot, he is also familiar with mechanics and engineering – it is said that he had a hand in the design of the Highwind airship, and it seems as though he is in charge of Shinra's outer space project as well.
