Cyrus

**Cyrus** is an eladrin wizard and member of the Path of the Black Rainbow.

## Description

### **Appearance**

Cyrus stands a few inches under six foot and is built averagely. He has silvering blonde hair like many eladrin and dull green eyes. As a spell caster, Cyrus does not wear any armor.

### **Personality**

Cyrus' alignment is neutral good. Cyrus can seem somewhat naive about the world around them however as they adventure they are becoming more alert to the intentions of others around them. They are constantly at odds with the reputation that comes with his race and does what they can to defy that and try and do what they believe is "the right thing to do."

In many instances when presented with a problem Cyrus will try and look at the issue from every angle imaginable. This can either present the group with a solution that would seem unreachable without him or will add to many details to the problem making it more confusing. Regardless Cyrus is guided by their studies and not instinct.

Cyrus knows they are fragile and can sometimes be scared because of this, however, when pressured they will usually use as much energy as they can into making a powerful spell work. This can also cause additional unwanted effects, sometimes even harming allies. This has caused the group to tease Cyrus somewhat and his use of pyromancies.

## Biography

### **Background**

Cyrus studied at the arcane academy of Wen Anore for most of his life and focused on his studies more than anything. It is assumed he spent a large amount of time with his older sister Kovu. The two eventually went to Ru-Voga to see Vijat and hired Hiszzu as a guard along the way.

### **Chapter 1**

Cyrus first met the other in Felisia Keep on his way to see Vijat who was contained Ru-Voga's jail. Cyrus's curosity got the best of him while staying in the guest house and ended up doing battle with a decaying sentient tree. This caused the group to realize something was amiss and investigate the keep.

In Ru-Voga Cyrus would invite Viggo to accompany him when he visited his brother but neglects to tell Kovu. This causes a rift between the siblings and leads to Kovu eventually breaking Vijat out of jail. Cyrus wants to give chase but ultimately decides it is best to stay with the group and attend to more pressing matters; such as liberating Feron's body of the additional souls contained within them.

### **Chapter 2**

Cyrus would receive a message from Kovu delievered by Havisa telling him that she was searching for their mother and for him not to follow.

Cyrus accompanied Viggo and Zip to the Thunder Plains and met the Emerald Hands. Cyrus became close friends with Carlos Serna during this time and the two exchanged spells. During the fight with the deformed monumental, Cyrus felt great sorrow for the Emerald Hands losing two of their party members, realizing that the challenge was a bit above their skill level.

When the group regrouped in Claryton Cyrus did his best to keep everyone's morale up in the wake of Davec's death.

After Havisa was killed by King Aelweled, Cyrus used his "Coin of Eenar" to revive her.

After the battle int he Bleakburn arena Cyrus was approached by Nina Lacan who told him that the components the wizard of bleakburn requested from him were used for powerful necromancy that could erase memories. Nina wasn't sure why her master would require such materials but hoped Cyrus and his team could look into it. Cyrus agreed.

In the wizard's tower, Cyrus urged the group not to draw from the deck of many things. Hiszzu drew and Cyrus drew a card afterwards and gained additional power.

## Relationships

### Viggo Salmanca

Cyrus often looks to Viggo in regards to group decisions and early in the relationship of the two he felt like Viggo was an experienced adventurer and more importantly a friend. While those opinions certainly haven't changed Cyrus' is beginning to take note of Viggo's weak will and sometimes questioning the sotteran's actions.

### Hiszzu

Cyrus will often go to Hiszzu for another opinion on all things "arcane and magical." While the two have differing viewpoints and methods of spellcasting they often can come to conclusions regarding spellcraft.

### Kovu

Cyrus still loves his big sister and hopes the two can be reunited peacefully some-day. His intentions when he meets her again are still unclear.

### Vijat

Cyrus feels less for Vijat than he does Kovu, as Vijat seems lost to the "eladrin way" and an old racial dispute.

### Carlos Serna

Carlos was the sotteran wizard of the Emerald Hands. Cyrus and Carlos constantly complimented one another and exchanged spells. The two evokers are perhaps the closest friends between the two groups.
