As Charles Darnay returns to Lucie and Doctor Manette, the Doctor greets Charles, saying, “I rejoice to see you. We have been counting on your return these three or four days past. Mr. Stryver and Sydney Carton were both here yesterday, and both made you out to be more than due.”

# data[].attributes.body
“No, dear Doctor Manette. Like you, a voluntary exile from France; like you, driven from it by its distractions, oppressions, and miseries; like you, striving to live away from it by my own exertions, and trusting in a happier future; I look only to sharing your fortunes, sharing your life and home, and being faithful to you to the death. Not to divide with Lucie her privilege as your child, companion, and friend; but to come in aid of it, and bind her closer to you, if such a thing can be.”

[Doctor Manette asks,] “Is Lucie the topic?” “She is.” [said Charles Darnay]

“I hardly seem yet,” returned Charles Darnay, “to belong to this world again.”

Looks like Sydney Carton, but more formal. He's referred to as attractive, so he must be good-looking. During the scene where Charles is held on trial, the author describes him, "His condition was that of a young gentleman. He was plainly dressed in black, or very dark grey, and his hair, which was long and dark, was gathered in a ribbon at the back of his neck."

Sydney may see that Stryver cannot do his job without him being there as well. This is shown clearly, "Stryver never had a case in hand, anywhere, but Carton was there."

Sydney just simply couldn't think like Stryver, and was instead forced to follow him, "[Carton] was an amazingly good jackal, and that he rendered suit and service to Stryver."

# data[].attributes.body
Stryver is his friend and also his partner in work. "Sydney Carton, idlest and most unpromising of men, was Stryver’s great ally"

# data[].attributes.body
Often drinks and is addicted to alcohol.

# data[].attributes.body
Has a kind heart, although he hides it, and thoroughly loves Lucie.

# data[].attributes.body
Stryver and other characters talk down to him. After all, he is basically his follower. Stryver said later, “You and your luck, Sydney! Get to work, get to work.”

# data[].attributes.body
Many characters believe that Sydney is rather worthless and does a bad job at living, as shown here, “Sydney, I rather despair of making myself intelligible to you, because you are such an insensible dog.”

# data[].attributes.body
As he was talking with Charles for the last time, he executes his plan to swap their situations so Charles can escape, "Quickly, but with hands as true to the purpose as his heart was, Carton dressed himself in the clothes the prisoner had laid aside, combed back his hair, and tied it with the ribbon the prisoner had worn..."

# data[].attributes.body
Looks like Charles Darnay, although a lot more disorganized.

# data[].attributes.body
Sydney saves Charles by swapping their coats, "“It would be madness if I asked you to escape; but do I? When I
ask you to pass out at that door, tell me it is madness and remain here.
Change that cravat for this of mine, that coat for this of mine"

# data[].attributes.body
As Sydney plans out Charles' escape, he confronts a former spy to allow access to the prison, '"Mr. Barsad,' he went on, in the tone of one who really was looking over a hand at cards: 'Sheep of the prisons, emissary of Republican committees, now turnkey, now prisoner, always spy and secret informer,
so much the more valuable here for being English that an Englishman is
less open to suspicion of subornation in those characters than a Frenchman, represents himself to his employers under a false name.'"

As Sydney goes to sacrifice himself for Charles Darnay, he tells Lucie “A life you love.” Something he said earlier in the book while saying goodbye.
