Sydonia is the second-in-command of the [[Mt. Seifu Bandits]], after [[Varkas]]. The [[Mt. Seifu]] bandits stole only from [[Scarlet Moon Empire]] officials<ref>"I'm one of the Mt. Seifu bandits. But we only attack those rotten Imperials." - Bandit ([[Suikoden (game)|Suikoden]])</ref>, but in doing so drew the ire of [[Grady]], who blamed the Mt. Seifu bandits for Rockland's inability to pay taxes<ref>"You see, some bandits have settled on nearby Mt. Seifu, and have been pillaging the local villages. That's why we've been unable to collect taxes and deliver them to you." - Grady ([[Suikoden (game)|Suikoden]])</ref>. When [[Hero (Suikoden)]] and [[Kanaan]] came to investigate the Mt. Seifu bandits, Varkas told Sydonia to introduce himself, but Sydonia only asked why he should do bother doing so<ref>"Heh, why bother?" - Sydonia ([[Suikoden (game)|Suikoden]])</ref>; after commenting on Sydonia's affability, Varkas introduced Sydonia for him, calling him Marksman Sydonia<ref>"Affable fellow. Anyway, that there is Marksman Sydonia." - Varkas ([[Suikoden (game)|Suikoden]])</ref>. The two battled with Tir McDohl and his party, but were unable to defeat them; Varkas and Sydonia were taken captive and delivered to Grady.
Sydonia was the second-in-command of the [[Mt. Seifu Bandits]], after [[Varkas]]. Sydonia had managed to master the art of teleporting, earning him the title of "Marksman Sydonia." The bandits would attack [[Scarlet Moon Empire]] officials around the area of [[Rockland]].


When the [[Imperial Guard]] left Rockland, Grady had Sydonia and Varkas strung up outside of his mansions, leaving them there to starve<ref>"That rotten Grady of Rockland has strung them up to starve to death." - Bandit ([[Suikoden (game)|Suikoden]])</ref>. One of the Mt. Seifu bandits managed to travel to [[Lenankamp]], where he met with [[Odessa Silverberg]] and the [[Toran Liberation Army]] and asked them to rescue Varkas and Sydonia<ref>"Lady Odessa, please. Help Varkas and Sydonia." - Bandit ([[Suikoden (game)|Suikoden]])</ref>. Tir McDohl and his party, confessing their part in Varkas and Sydonia's capture, agreed to go rescue them, and journeyed with [[Viktor]] back to Rockland. After they successfully rescued Varkas, Varkas asked them rescue Sydonia as well<ref>"Thanks. Get my buddy too, will you?" - Varkas ([[Suikoden (game)|Suikoden]])</ref>. However, Sydonia claimed that this would not be necessary, and used a teleportation technique to escape the ropes<ref>"Ha. Not necessary." - Sydonia ([[Suikoden (game)|Suikoden]])</ref>. When Varkas asked why Sydonia had not done that earlier, Sydonia replied that he couldn't escape alone<ref>"Sydonia! Why you... If you've got tricks like that, why didn't you escape sooner?" - Varkas<br>"Ha. Can't very well escape alone." - Sydonia ([[Suikoden (game)|Suikoden]])</ref>. Upon meeting an enraged Grady, Sydonia commented on how he wanted to tear Grady into pieces<ref>"Ha. I'd rather tear him to pieces." - Sydonia ([[Suikoden (game)|Suikoden]])</ref>, but Grady quickly retreated from the freed bandits. Varkas told Tir that should Odessa need them, Varkas and Sydonia would come to her aid<ref>"I guess we owe the Liberation Army our lives. Tell Lady Odessa that if she ever needs help, Varkas and Sydonia will be there in a flash." - Varkas ([[Suikoden (game)|Suikoden]])</ref>.
Sydonia and Varkas were captured by [[Hero (Suikoden)|the son]] of [[Teo McDohl]] on the orders of [[Kanaan]]. When the [[Imperial Guard]] left Rockland, Sydonia and Varkas were strung up and left to starve to death. Although eventually rescued by the same group who had captured them, Sydonia apparently could have teleported away at any time but chose not to escape alone. Later, after the [[Toran Liberation Army]] acquired [[Toran Castle]], Sydonia and Varkas joined the group.


After the Toran Liberation Army acquired [[Toran Castle]], Sydonia made his way there along with Varkas in hopes of returning the favour they owed the Toran Liberation by joining them<ref>"We heard some rumors about you, and figured this would be a good chance to return the favor we owe you. We'd like to join the Liberation Army." - Varkas ([[Suikoden (game)|Suikoden]])</ref>. Varkas asked Sydonia to say something<ref>"Hey Sydonia, you say something too." - Varkas ([[Suikoden (game)|Suikoden]])</ref>, but Sydonia simply said hello<ref>"Heh. Hey there." - Sydonia ([[Suikoden (game)|Suikoden]])</ref>. Sydonia stayed with the Toran Liberation Army throughout the war; prior to the [[The Last Battle (Suikoden)|last battle]], Varkas attempted to rally their troops with Sydonia, but Sydonia merely replied, "Heh"<ref>"Y'all better fight hard tomorrow! Right, Sydonia?!" - Varkas<br>"Heh." - Sydonia ([[Suikoden (game)|Suikoden]])</ref>.
Following the end of the [[Gate Rune War]], Sydonia was invited to join the [[Toran Republic]] [[Border Guard]] by Varkas, but Sydonia simply disappeared.
