Cyrus, a drow of the Underdark, spent his adolescence serving the cult of Lolth, like most Drow. He was an only child until his sister, Llein, was born. He adored her with all of his, and so did his family. Soon after her birth, she was declared the new priestess of the cult. Unfortunately, she was taken away from Cyrus and his family. Llein had no a clue that she was related to them, and Cyrus was forced to watch as Llein grew up; never knowing he was her brother. On a not-so-fateful day it was proclaimed a living sacrifice would be made, but what Cyrus didn't know is that that sacrifice would be him and his family. He was kidnapped from his home along with his parents at the age of 100. He was forced to watch as Llein, his own sister, killed their parents. He knew he was next, and did all he could to fight back, escaping within an inch of his life. He went into hiding in the Underdark for a few days, until he was able to make his way to the Overbright. It was within the walls of Baldur's Gate that a group of paladins, working in a local church, extended their compassion and aid to Cyrus. Inspired by their noble cause, he pledged himself as a Paladin, swearing an oath of vengeance. To protect innocents from sinners and evil, and eventually cull the cult that had ruined his life. His ultimate goal was to avenge his family's death, even if it meant confronting and killing his sister, Llein, who had unknowingly caused their demise. With a clouded mind, he set out to protect others and avenge his family. However, when the time came to face Llein, Cyrus found himself unable to carry out his oath. The revelation of their familial bond overwhelmed him, and he couldn't bring himself to harm his flesh and blood. This internal conflict shattered his oath, turning him into an Oathbreaker paladin. The guilt and devastation of breaking his vow haunted him, but he was relieved to know that his sister was alive. For years, Cyrus struggled with his new fate and role, temporarily succumbing to darkness and becoming consumed by his anger and grief. But with time, he managed to find his way back to the path of righteousness. He realized that protecting others and preventing the spread of evil was the true purpose of a paladin, Oathbreaker or not. As a drow who had left the Underdark, Cyrus faces constant judgment due to his Drow heritage. He persevered through using his experiences to fuel his determination and empathy toward others. Now, he travels the realms, seeking redemption and doing his utmost to protect those in need, while also seeking to be the annoying older brother he hadn't got to be to Llein all those years ago.

He often finds solace in holding a small silver pendant that once belonged to his family, a reminder of the love and loss he carries with him. This simple act helps him stay grounded and focused during difficult times.

due to his past experiences, Cyrus harbors a deep fear and aversion towards spiders, making him uncomfortable in their presence.

In his free time, Cyrus enjoys reading books that explore themes of redemption and hope.

“Cursed to put my hands on everything.”

"Doing the right thing,, isn't always the nice thing."

"Being a hero is knowing exactly who to hate."

Their relationship is characterized by a mix of affection, frustration, and a desire to make up for lost time. Cyrus plays the role of an annoying, caring older brother, always looking out for Llein's well-being while struggling with the guilt of almost killing her in the past. He cherishes the moments they have together and is determined to keep her safe from any harm.

Tucks her in every night and reads her a bedtime story. His half sister. :)

A friend he made while journeying. While they only met in passing, they both enjoyed their time together. Cyrus tends to look back on their time together fondly.
