**Cyrus Fremont Braveheart** (*also known as **The White Guardian***) is a major character in "MLIV:TO".

Before the main events of the story, he was a simple young man who was secretly trained as a Shaman under the tutelage of Gloria Braveheart- his very own mother who was the Shaman of Canonia at that time. However, the circumstances that followed shortly after Emperor Redmark and his army left his mother physically and emotionally wounded, forcing him to take on the mantle of Canonia's Shaman at the age of 12.

He is the son of folk hero Jonathan Braveheart and his beloved wife Gloria Braveheart, the grandson of John Braveheart- one of the world's greatest heroes, as well as the brother of Cynthia Braveheart.

## Overview

*Cyrus Braveheart is a prodigy whose pure heart was hardened by the events that shook him in the past, the ones that turned him into the noble man he has become in the present.*

*Having been born under the sign of the Sun itself, his parents considered him to be quite unique for his age. Indeed, the young do-gooder learned how to cast his first spell at the age of 4, shocking everyone who was involved in that miraculous event.*

*Growing in a loving family where he was spoiled a lot, Cyrus did not manage to fully understand the dangers that were hidden from the untrained eyes of commoners like himself. However, he was perfectly aware of them, as the stories that his paternal uncle- Adam Kaos- has told him in the past, have given him the impression that the world is always under siege, no matter how peaceful it may be on the surface.*

*The young man's years of peace were ruined for good when the forces of Marcus Redmark invaded. His hometown, the beautiful town of Canonia, was their first destination. At that time, his mother was the shaman of the place and led the defense against the invaders. She and the others held against this surprise attack for weeks, working hard to deliver grievous blows into the army that sought to tear them all apart. Day and night, the woman bravely protected her home and shielded her beloved son from the horrors that were trying to creep their way into his pure heart. Unfortunately, all of her efforts were in vain and she soon made a mistake, allowing the vile invaders to storm their way into the town and raze the entire place to the ground.*

*During this daring raid, Cyrus's mother was severely injured. The beasts of nature were no longer able to sustain her. The army of humans that she commanded were slowly falling apart. Order was being replaced by chaos. Bravery was replaced by fear. Many people believed this to be the end of Canonia that they once knew, the home that they shared for so long.*

*And then, an incredible miracle left everyone feeling hopeful once again. After witnessing what the invaders had done to his mother, the young Cyrus jumped into the burning town and saved her from their grasp, fighting against the villains with nothing more than a large stick and the faith in his heart. As more invaders came to replace those whom he had slain, the young hero continued to perform his act of defiance. More and more feel to his growing wrath as their bodies laid the way toward a new foundation. A new Order. And he was the one who began it all.*

*To the surprise of his father and the entire kingdom of Goznor, the heir of Braveheart had managed to stand his ground against hundreds of invaders. Even though his magic was not the most powerful (or controlled), he still managed to utilize it. Walls of fire purged the unworthy souls as he strangled the rest with his majestic vines. On that day, the Empire that Marcus Redmark was trying to build had suffered a loss that they could never repair... and the emperor of darkness had earned himself a very powerful enemy.*

*Since his mother was no longer capable of being the Shaman of Canonia, Cyrus volunteered to become the next Shaman instead. However, this was against the rules, as Nature itself was the only one who could choose its next Shaman. Thus, Cyrus embarked on a small journey, seeking enlightenment and wisdom, in the hopes that he could be worthy enough in the eyes of the ones who were judging him.*

*One day, he found an old man who was surrounded by wild beasts and invaders alike. He looked at Cyrus, but neither called for help, nor beckoned him to run away. Nevertheless, Cyrus jumped into the battle and valiantly fought against the ones who were trying to kill him, successfully keeping the old man alive. Unbeknownst to him, this person was a part of Nature itself and soon vanished with nothing more than a smile. That is when Nature knew one thing- its true successor was to be one pure of heart, one who would guard more than just the forests of the Known World.*

*And so, Cyrus became the newest Shaman of Canonia. Despite being mistrusted at first, he quickly built quite a reputation for his merciful attitude, mirroring that of his noble uncle. Even though his father was forced to depart shortly after he became Chosen, the young man still continued to act as the guardian of the mighty kingdom, serving as both a moral compass and a hand of justice.*

*Cyrus wields the power of the **Pure Light** and **Eternal Earth**. His abilities have served him well during his years as a Shaman, and even before that. Thus, it is no secret that he shall be one of the Heralds of the New World.*

## Personality

Cyrus is a peaceful, yet energetic young man whose level-headed personality aspire many to do good things like him. He is a shining beacon of hope to many, although he never sees himself in a way like this.

Like every Shaman that came before him, Cyrus is extremely protective of the nature around him. He despises all of those who seek to defile it and is known to have warned them many times through the creatures under his command. However, some people are far too arrogant to ever take his advices seriously, so he is forced to punish them in various ways, some of them quite harsh. And yet, all of his responses against vandals like those, violent or not, are still quite ethical, as he always restrains himself in order to prevent an unnecessary demise from happening.

Cyrus considers all of the kingdom's residents to be a part of his family, caring for the safety of all of them. His actions in the past have shown that he places their well-being well above his own and the inner scars deep within his heart stand as a testimony to his unwavering loyalty toward them.

## Abilities

Although relatively young, Cyrus is known to have studied nature magic to a great extent and has become a master of it. He knows a lot about the techniques that are capable of weakening an opponent and is able to utilize them using his offensive spells- abilities that could be of every element of nature, be they Fire, Water, Wind or Earth.

He knows nothing about spells from other elements, but his defensive spells could be considered to be from the Light circle.

Just like his father, Cyrus is capable of using a melee weapon. His go-to weapon is the Katana that was forged for him shortly after his victory over the forces of Redmark- the legendary weapon known simply as "Peacekeeper".

## Killed Victims

* Sylvar
* Marcus Redmark *(Caused)*

### Deleted Sequences

* During Cyrus's early stages of development, it was considered for his middle name to be Mumin- a Muslim name that translates as "guardian of faith" and was supposed to signify the boy's belief in faith and his desire to keep it intact, honoring his father's greatest wish. However, the middle name was replaced with Fremont not too long before he was introduced, as it is supposed to match with Cyrus's personality- a noble guardian of all that is sacred who possesses a free will and uses it to help others break free from the chains that Redmark's empire puts around their feet. Thus, the name was changed to Fremont, although the original name is still there, free to be used by those who think that the first is not good enough.
