## History

### Early Life

Cyrus Menoetius was born to Antheia, goddess of vegetation, gardens, blossoms, spring, swamps and flowery wreaths, flowers, marshlands and human love and Patroclus, Prince of Opus. While Achilles was being a little sulk and being all curled in his tent, Patroclus went out on a walk, trying to clear his head from all the war and bloodshed. While he walked, from Olympus, Antheia spotted him. Seeing that Patroclus was very handsome and pretty cute, decided to travel down to Earth to talk to him. Antheia found Patroclous on the beach, just sitting there. Antheia sat down next to him, asking if everything was okay. Patroclus instantly knew that Antheia was a goddess but didn't mind, and explained how the war was stressing him. Antheia comforted him and the two ended up having a one night stand with each other. After realizing what she had done, Antheia brought a sleeping Patroclus back to Achilles' tent and whipped his memories of the night before and replaced both his *and* Achilles memories with a night of love. Antheia left soon after, and Patroclus never remembering his time with Antheia

### Childhood on Olympus

A few days after her night with Patroclus, Antheia found out she was pregnant. Nine months later, she gave birth to her son, who she named Cyrus. During the rest of the war, and most of his childhood, Cyrus was raised on Olympus with his mother. He heard most things about the war, though his mother tried to keep him away from that stuff. He was secretly on the Greeks side, was sad to see Patroclus die, not knowing that his father had died.

### Meeting Adrian

One day, when Cyrus was fourteen, his mother was talking with the goddess Hestia, who introduced him to her adopted son, Adrian (Really the son of Achilles and Deidamia), and since then, they were raised together, and they became very close. When both boys were seventeen, they were made immortal, since both their mothers didn't want them to die, knowing that demigod lives didn't end well. They both didn't know much about their fathers, but they didn't really mind. Soon they both began developing a taste for adventure.

### Coming to Camp

On multiple occasions, the two would sneak down to the mortal world and explore the ever changing world. When their mothers found out, they weren't mad and instead offered to let them stay in the mortal world which the two boys agreed to. They stayed in hiding for the most part, keeping to themselves, but they would sometimes run into the occasional monster or two, which they were able to kill. While living in America and in the mortal world, they came across a group of people (who also happened to be children of characters from the Iliad) and created a group together. They would go around each state, having fun and killing any monster that would try to hurt them. Finally, in the early 2000s, they came across a camp for demigods in Big Bear, California. Once they all crossed the border. Adrian was claimed as the son of Antheia, but he still had to be in the Hermes cabin

## Personality

Cyrus Menoetius would be one of the most annoying and lazy heroes you would ever meet. Unlike his best friend Adrian he has come to the acceptance that he would end up without a happily ever after. From a young age, Cyrus understood that he was going to live a short life so he adapted to living it to the fullest… in his standard. He didn’t give much attention to his studies nor to anything else extracurricular until…becoming immortal. After becoming immortal alongside Adrian, Cyrus saw a chance to escape his destiny and become whatever he wanted to be. Cyrus is regarded to be loyal to the end and forgiving, always having somewhere in his heart to give people second chances. Cyrus usually cares a lot about the people he is loyal to, always feeling responsible of taking care of them (like his mother or any of the nymphs). Through years of being trained for his destiny, Cyrus has grown to be slightly bitter towards some people, developing a habit of sarcasm and sass. Cyrus somehow possesses a brooding and rebellious look in his eyes that complements his sarcastic attitude. Cyrus does have a particular fondness of animals as he does spend much of his time in the Enchanted Forest. Cyrus also has an ability to talk to animals which does prove useful whenever he needs help whenever he attends quests and other adventures. Cyrus happens to be a great tracker, always being able to sense where a certain animal is and finding them right away. Cyrus proves to be an excellent dancer in both ballet and modern street dance as his mother took it upon herself to enroll him to dance class. Cyrus does find solace in dancing ballet and does enjoy helping a few girls if they need a dance partner, and no, he isn’t embarrassed to dance ballet in front of his friends since there would be no shame in it. Cyrus also occasionally likes working as a stage manager for dance concerts because he likes the power of the communications headset. Cyrus is a hard nut to crack. He's mostly seen as sarcastic and very withdrawn, not willing to be as open as society says you have to be. He has a habit of being brutally honest, saying what he thinks, and sometimes saying the first thing in his mind. Something that gets him into a few too many altercations. On his better side, Cyrus is a care-free person, preferring to keep to himself, rather than seek trouble; although trouble tends to find him (mainly because of his friends). He prefers to have his mind set on the "here and now", rather than think about the future or the past. It takes a while to get him to open up, only doing so to those he truly trusts. Despite having a soft side, he has adopted a snarky, sarcastic attitude to keep people from getting too close to him (but they eventually do). He is also quite ambitious and headstrong, stubborn even; if Cyrus has set his mind on achieving something, whatever that may be, there is nothing people can do to stop him. Despite being mostly introverted, his greatest fear is silence, which is why he prefers to sit in a room full of people if he needs to think, or work, and listens to music to fall asleep.

### Fatal flaw
