Personal history
Born the 6th of 7th children, Cyrus was raised on the outskirts of Bronthan territory, far enough away that when his father fell ill, they weren't able to reach a temple in time to save his life. Cyrus' mother raised him modestly in a large house shared by several generations of family.
Though he had several friends in his community, the death of his father haunted Cyrus. Even if death is simply a part of the cycle, Cyrus missed him, and wished he'd had more time. He thought often of the priests who could have cured his illness, if only they'd reached him in time, and resolved to join the clergy and study the healing arts.
Cyrus' mother forbade him from leaving to join the priesthood--as honorable as that profession would be, she was reluctant to part with any of her children, having already lost her husband. In an act of shocking filial impiety, Cyrus ran away from home to go to the temples of Brontha. He joined the Noon Temple as a mere child, placing himself in their care and getting a proper education. His bright, naturally curious mind lent itself well to mastery of religious formulate and dogma, but his particular interest was in physiology and biology. After only a few years at the seminary, the Muinteoiri sent a representative to offer Cyrus a place at Ioth Academy, studying alchemy. It was a shocking shift from his intended life path, but after consulting with the Flamemother overseeing his training, Cyrus believed this was the will of Zeilar, and would teach him how to save lives in a way that wouldn't rely on his physical presence. After all, if he could concoct cures and medicines and send them to every corner of the kingdom, it wouldn't matter how far a sick or injured person was from a temple. He could heal people for years and years to come.
Since then, Cyrus has been a diligent and focused student. He is friendly but relatively quiet with outsiders, opening up more freely with fellow Bronthans over their shared life experience and faith. The events of the Green Gala helped him open up, and now he's taken a bigger role in school events. When he learned Garnet Tohsaka's true identity, it changed his understanding of where he fits into the cycle--and perhaps, where he fits in with his classmate...
