Cyrus (The Warriors)

Cyrus is the false protagonist of . He was played by the late .
== Film ==
He was the Warlord of the Gramercy Riffs, with Masai as his second-in-command. He is well-spoken and adept at public speaking, and considers himself a spiritual leader to the street criminals of New York City.
He sees the possibility of uniting the gangs under a general truce, believing that, if the gangs were not fighting each other, they could intimidate and extort protection money and privileges from law enforcement and organised crime in the city by the advantage of numbers alone, with the Gramercy Riffs all acting as his delegates and lieutenants to keep order among the gangs, while he personally oversees the profits and power that would surely come from such a vast operation.
However, this vision was shattered when he was shot and killed by Luther while giving his speech at the summit.
== Game ==
Cyrus is seen several times explaining his plan to Masai. He is talked about often by the radio DJ.
== Jailbreak ==
After the prison break, Swan talks to Masai about continuing the plan of a unified gang, but Masai said that Cyrus' dreams died with him.
== Fighting Ability ==
Cyrus, like most characters, shares the 2-hit combos as standard grapple moves, with Ajax's rage grapple moves. Like most characters, he uses the roundhouse and tornado kicks as power moves. Unlike most Riffs, he uses the fighting style of Ajax and Snow, as well as the standard cross-dive, not the flying kick.
== Trivia ==
