Cyrusk as he appears in his Troll Call card

**Cyrusk Belgor** is one of the main characters in Aleph Null (Webomic).
Cyrusk was a former Threshecutioner prior to being discharged from service. He then turned to being a hitman for hire upon returning to Neo Kansai. He was hired for the Nexus' Sabotage Heist alongside Falmea Luxura, Majell Averos and Sauron Yetzar

## Appearance

Cyrusk is a well-rounded individual with a lean build. His black hair is shaved on one side, leaving his mid-length hair to cover the other half of his face, which also masks his scars. He also possesses out and upward pointing horns.
Cyrusk has several body modifications pertaining to him, including gauge earrings and many piercings near his eyebrows, on his lips, through his ears on his auricles, and through his tongue and collarbone. He has several tattoos all over his body themed after mythology.
He is most commonly seen donning a gray jacket with copper trimmings, usually with the sleeves rolled to his elbows. Underneath, he wears a dark gray tank top with a harness around his chest. He is wearing military dog tags around his neck, and he sports gray cargo pants and brown boots.

## Personality

Without his military knowledge and training, Cyrusk might have come out a mess. Prominently, he seems to have the constant need to be doing something, which usually results in unorthodox results. A lot of this serves as a distraction. He suffers from PTSD from the plane crash that left him disfigured as well as discharged him from the military, and thus seeks to keep his mind from returning to memories of such events by pursuing such distractions.
He is not usually affected by anxiety, even during his triggers, as he's able to conceal it behind a masquerade. Cyrusk will usually do anything he can to avoid talking about it, trying his best to fully avoid questions about it as it may cause him to spiral downwards in a panic attack. Only those close to him could be able to notice this side of him.
He does not allow this to inhibit his abilities and functionality as a troll. He can be seen as ambitious and obstinate, as he prefers to not be trampled by society. This can lead to Cyrusk being seen as merciless.
Thanks to his military training, he is easily able to keep his cool under threats and pressure, and he pays no mind to the hierarchy of the castes above him. Cyrusk frequently refers to others in a rather formal manner, which is a habit left from his years back in the military.
In short Cyrusk is usually calm and level-headed, usually being seen as peculiar at times, however he is prominently polite and eloquently spoken. While his tendency to seem dumb at times is there, it is far from the truth.

## Relationships

### Majell Averos

Cyrusk is friendly towards Majell. They get along well, regardless of the latter's association with Falmea. Majell has an amount of trust in Cyrusk, as she kindly requested that he reminded Sauron to take his medication.

### Sauron Yetzar

Cyrusk and Sauron got along fairly well since they met, though Sauron does think Cyrusk is a bit odd. He was caught off guard by Cyrusk's ability to read minds, however it did make the communicating between them much easier. They had a moment where they got to know each other a bit better alongside a drink. Cyrusk seems to be the troll partaking in that heist that Sauron is the most comfortable around, as he opened up to him quite a lot for his standards, especially towards a stranger. Cyrusk is quite confident in Sauron's skills, defending him when Helstm was attempting to undermine them during their meeting. He was also the first troll to pick up that something wrong was going on with Sauron during the heist.

Later down the line, ⁣ Cyrusk was taken aback by Sauron's sudden personality change after disconnecting him from cyberspace. He looked dumbfounded at the sheer psionic ability Sauron hid away, but also grew to become frustrated at the unresponsive rustblood. He protected Sauron as they were making their escape out of the building from Falmea and her henchmen.

### Falmea Luxura

Falmea and Cyrusk are hinted at to have a very unpleasant backstory with each other, with both of them being harsh to each other when interacting, with either being very displeased at the prospect of having to work together. Falmea is significantly more open about her hatered of Cyrusk, rather than Cyrusk who is more subtle with his dislike of her. Cyrusk considers Falmea cowardly for not fighting him herself, but sending her subordinates at him instead during her betral of the bronzeblood's plan. Cyrusk himself did not take the betrayal lightly, which ended in a shootout in the building.

### Background

Cyrusk grew up with no idea what he wanted to do or what he wanted to become, he just lacked enthusiasm for working in domestics or labor. At seven and a half sweeps old, he enlisted into the military, completing the training required and worked his way up to being a Threshecutioner in an airborne special operations unit.
Cyrusks aircraft was on a cleanup mission with some Astroaviators around the outer ring planets in alternian space. Due to faulty equipment and a mechanical failure, his aircraft's psionic was killed by psionic backlash, which in turn caused the aircraft to plummet and crash. The collision left him disfigured and scarred, costing him his left leg, as well as the vision of his left eye and the hearing of his left ear. It was as if only half of him made it out of the crash.
Cyrusk was rescued by the accompanying Astroviators, and tended to for two weeks at a military clinic. Although the army held its soldiers in high regard, they weren't going to spend their resources fixing up a copper blood. It would be simply easier to replace him.
Soon after completing his treatments, Cyrusk was discharged from duty, leaving with his dog tags and a small badge for his four sweeps of service, but missing so much of himself. Nonetheless, he kept a positive attitude. After all, he'd never been to a city before.

## Mind reading

Being a copper blood, Cyrusk is able to tap into the thoughts of other trolls if they do not have some sort of mental protection or shield. While being able to read their minds like a book, he is unable to close it, often hearing things he doesn't wish to.

## Strategy and Itelligence

Cyrusk is a very intelligent, perceptive and skilled strategist. He goes out of his way to be prepared and to have a plan for any possible outcome of every action. He's good at figuring escape routs and improvising.
