Dr. Sid was born in Toronto in 1995, long before the Phantoms arrived from their planet and the barrier cities were constructed. A biochemistry graduate of the University of Scientific Research, Dr. Sid spent long hours conducting research on the physical properties of living things. In 2022, after detecting a strange energy force during a gravitational field extraction experiment, he began to conduct research in spiritual energy. In addition to this research, Dr. Sid, along with his wife, also spent time contemplating the so-called Gaia theory. Through the Gaia theory, they concluded that each life is born of Gaia and each life returns to Gaia upon death. Each life holds a spirit and each spirit brings its experience back to Gaia, enabling it to live and grow.

This theory proved to be unpopular among his fellow scientists and Dr. Sid and his wife kept their findings hidden.  After the Leonid Meteor landed on earth, Phantoms created world-wide destruction.  Dr. Sid was able to avoid Phantom exposure, yet he lost his wife during the attack on Toronto.  After the death of his wife, Dr. Sid became an advocate for Bio-Etheric research and dedicated his life to finding the solution to the Phantom problem. Through extensive research he discovered a unique energy form in the Phantoms.  This discovery in turn was used to create such items as spiritual scanners and ovo-pacs, as well as weapons such as Energy weapons, transport vehicles and numerous tools.

In addition, he was successful in creating a barrier shield that provided protection against Phantom attacks. Using this technology, the remaining cities were surrounded by this shield to form the Barrier Cities. Upon completion of the barrier cities, Dr. Sid devoted himself to the research of bio-etheric wave theory.  After his appointment to Director of the Bio-Etheric Center in New York Barrier City, Dr. Sid was able to successfully analyze the Phantom wave pattern and with the help of Dr. Aki Ross hopes to find the remaining three spirit waves to complete the pattern.

A scientific genius and mentor to Aki Ross, Dr. Sid understands the sometimes elusive link between the tangible and the gloriously metaphysical.  He realizes early on that there is more to this alien “invasion” than meets the eye.
