Shidan is the chief pharmacist of Lyrias and the childhood friend of Garrack, who would bully him a bit. Shidan is dealing with a mysterious disease that no one can figure out and the backlash is coming right back at him. He's stressed and all the while tries to deal with his meddling nephew. He has a complete emotional break down when he realizes that he is responsible for the sickness in the first place. Shidan is a grown man, his voice should be bass to baritone with some rasp to show he hasn't been taking very good care of himself and the actor should have the ability to convincingly cry.
