A contemporary of Cervantes and Eleder, it is often said that Sidyak could be one of the First Three if he spent more time attending to his duties as a Swordlord and less time in the training hall. Alone amongst the Council members, Sidyak still teaches every day and can be found more often than not in his salle instead of in Council Hall.

He is a terse, stoic man, who listens more than he speaks. In council meetings his voice is always listened to when he makes the effort to interject. Sidyak has a surprising reputation as a man of peace and moderation. He has spoken out against conflict with the north even when it was clear the council was prepared to vote for. Many attribute this to his Issian heritage, which is strongly reflected in his features. None would dare say such a thing to his face, though.
