CID was once some sort of alien life form, who was enslaved by Zinyak in a simulation. His physical body perished long ago, so he programmed his consciousness into the simulation itself. Though he is a condescending pessimistic opportunist who only works for Playa in a mercenary manner, never fully trusting him or giving him anything for free, he always keeps his word and remains a consistent ally. Playa compensates CID with a physical body, the completion of various tasks in the simulation, and a date with Shaundi. Towards the end of the game, he and the virtual Fun Shaundi find that they have good chemistry and agree to a date. When Fun Shaundi asks if he functions as a bong, CID is uncharacteristically generous and says "For you, I would find a way". CID takes precautions to protect only himself, and as he delivers the key he excludes Playa and the Saints from his exacting revenge, and tells Playa not to ruin his moment of revenge.



Attitude wise, CID expresses prejudice towards humans during his first encounter with Playa, and is critical of Playa's selfish and inconsiderate nature especially. Despite this, he makes inconsiderate and selfish demands himself, including asking dates from female crew members as compensation. While he does chose Shaundi for his date and later gets another date from Fun Shaundi, his first request is Kinzie who refuses to date the C.I.D. bot, and when recruited along side Kinzie, he asks again and lies to her about having so much in common with, which Kinzie is able to spot. Although it is unknown how well his date with Shaundi went as they don't interact with each other outside Homie conversation, he has a good time with Fun Shaundi.



Just before rescuing Ben King, CID zaps Playa in the groin after having an argument with him over an unknown subject, and laughs at Playa's suffering. CID has a Romance option and is able to perform oral sex on both genders.
