Cid Randell is Mewt's father. He became despondent and listless after the death of his wife and so has been unable to hold down a proper job ever since (incidentally, he is also an alcoholic). When the world is transformed, Cid is made the Judgemaster of Ivalice -- the leader of all the Judges -- and is the husband of Queen Remedi. At first, the Judges and the Palace are connected and are considered one and the same. However, towards the game's end, Cid realizes that he cannot maintain true and just Law if he is under the control of the royal family, so he severs all ties to the Palace and makes the Judges a separate entity of their own. Cid at first has no memory of the real world and opposes Marche, but eventually he regains the memories of the man he once was and then supports Marche in his cause. He is responsible for breaking the "Fortune" Law placed upon Llednar, rendering the boy vulnerable to Marche's attacks. In an alternate ending, which requires the completion of secret missions dealing with a conspiracy to take Cid's rank, Cid tells Marche that he would one day give his Judge Sword to Marche, meaning that he plans to make Marche the future Judgemaster.
