In 2E 852 he attended a play with his sister , which featured the actor Hakan . Hakan and Izsara soon fell in love and married later the same year . Hakan often spoke to Cyrus , and trained him with the sword in combat to teach him a few tricks . Hakan ' s influence was often on the political situations , such as the Forebear and Crown conflict and the ongoing Tiber wars . Cyrus then confronted his father on the matter . His father was a loyal crown who had negative opinions on his son - in - law for his Forebear affiliation . His father explained the conflict between the two factions . In 2E 854 , Cyrus wrote a play in the night about the ancient Ra Gada from Yokuda defeating the Orcs of Hammerfell to claim the land for their High King . This play was an attempt to solve the conflict between the two factions . The play was a huge success , and a celebration party was held in a local tavern after it finished where both Crowns and Forebears attended in equal numbers . A 23 - year - old Cyrus hosted the celebration . His brother - in - law Hakan was not so impressed . In his drunken state Hakan challenged the also drunken Cyrus in sword combat . Iszara pleaded Hakan to stop , to which he responded Iszara with a slap to the face . They fought and Cyrus emerged the victor , lunging a blow right in Hakan ' s chest . Following that event Cyrus ran away , and Tobias took him in . Life as a mercenary . Between 2E 855 and 2E 864 , Cyrus worked for a Khajiit named S ' rathra as a mercenary .

In a surprise attack they ambushed Tear and freed the slaves , but resulted in Tobias experiencing an arm injury . Following the event Cyrus and Tobias went their separate ways , but still kept in touch via their employer S ' rathra . Meeting in Wayrest . In 2E 864 , Cyrus met with S ' rathra in Wayrest at a tavern . Cyrus asked him about the next job he was to be assigned . Instead , S ' rathra showed him a letter sent by Tobias . The letter involved his sister , who he said no one had seen for three months . This prompted Cyrus to buy passage to travel to Stros M ' kai . He went with Captain Brennan on the journey to the island . On his way to the island Cyrus was confronted by two pirates of the Restless League who attempted to claim his ship . After defeating the pirates , the Restless League retreated . Arriving on Stros M ' kai . After arriving on the island , Cyrus received a letter from Tobias , telling him that he was at the Draggin Tale Inn . He later met with his old friend and had a conversation with him , which also mentioned the Eye of Argonia . Cyrus met with Korthor , who tasked Cyrus with retrieving the Amulet of N ' Gasta from the Sload necromancer N ' Gasta on his island in exchange for gold . Cyrus went and retrieved the amulet from N ' Gasta . He then returned it to Amiel Richton , though Cyrus asked for information on his sister in return . After Richton refused to give any , Cyrus threatened him and killed his guards but was later knocked out by Dram and imprisoned in the catacombs beneath the palace . Freeing Iszara . Cyrus went on to negotiate with the Restless League to see what they knew . He then learnt that they were rebel pirates fighting against the oppressive Imperial rule on the island , and that Iszara had become a member of the faction . Cyrus found out that the Daedric prince Clavicus Vile was keeping his sister captive . He killed N ' Gasta and entered the realm . After freeing her from her sleep , they escaped his realm .

Cyrus then traveled to the palace to retrieve the Soul Gem . He discovered that the gem was being guarded by the dragon Nafaalilargus . Cyrus killed the dragon and took the soul gem back to the Restless League . Resurrecting Prince A ' Tor . Cyrus , Iszara , Coyle , his mother , Saban , and the Restless League then attempted to resurrect the Prince by using the Soul Gem . Saban cast a spell which broke the soul gem . After the ritual they presumed that the spell failed . Instead , the prince chose to enchant his sword with his soul . The sword became known as the Soul Sword . Disappointed , the Restless League lost faith in their cause . Cyrus instead gave a speech on how it was a victory . It was then discovered that the sword was capable of thinking and moving on its own . The sword guided Cyrus to the palace . Killing Amiel Richton . Cyrus fought against the guards in the palace with the sword . He defeated the assassin Dram , who then ran off . He climbed out of the palace and fought Amiel Richton on the airship . He defeated the Admiral , who in his last moments distracted Cyrus . This allowed the assassin Dram to hold a dagger to Cyrus ' throat , telling him to drop the sword . Cyrus dropped the sword , which then moved on its own accord and killed Amiel Richton . The sword then flew up and killed Dram . Cyrus took back the sword and left the airship . Restoring peace to Stros M ' kai . Cyrus then met with Iszara after the victory . She was crowned the new governor of Stros M ' kai , but still negotiated with the Empire in order to have the island treated better , having it become an autonomous vassal - state .
