Cyrus Daniel (Warhammer 40,000 version)

Appearance:
Cyrus is akin to most Black Legion aspiring sorcerers as he appears as the mix of a Chaos Sorcerer with a Chaos Space Marine. For the most part he has their standard wargear loadout, but he is also known to have very distinct Slaanesh affiliated spells. One interesting aspect about Cyrus is that he is often seen wearing a large crimson red like red kiltthat goes down from his belt to his armor’s knees. Why Cyrus wears this, or where he found it remains a mystery, but those who dare question him, (and are not more powerful than him) have been given painful lesions on why not to ask this question. Cyrus also seems to relish and decorating his powerarmor in gold as well. Unlike more older Chaos Space Marines, Cyrus apparently has youthful and long ginger red hair, while this is often hidden under his helm it does portray his appearance as being slightly younger than his other brothers.

History:
Little is known about Cyrus’s childhood before being implanted with his gene seed. What is known however is that he grew up on the rural forest world of Dradanska and apparently was captured by chaos cultists in a planetary raid when he was turned over to their Astartes master to be implemented the gene seed treatment that would turn him into a astartes.

Brother Cyrus is believed to have joined the Black Legion under Abbadon the Despoiler afterwards in hopes of acquiring better knowledge of sorcery, (as well as wargear) from the warband. It is believed that Cyrus has served in either the 10th 0r 11th Black Crusade, but this still is a mystery. What is known however is that Cyrus may have been born a psyker and he was captured as a child by raiding heretics who performed an excruciatingly painful gene seed treatment that he barely survived.

Personality:
“The battlefield is a canvas, and battle is my art!”

Cyrus is a very eager to impress, but a prideful and overconfident being nonetheless. He appears to be rather youthful in his demeanor, if not with a trademark sense of remorseless sadism. In a sense, Cyrus views battle as an artform, and the battlefield as his twisted canvas. While he is known to be very open minded when it comes to working with others, even to the point of lending his psychic gifts to the service of aiding his battle brothers, Cyrus nevertheless is self-centered on becoming perfection and staining entire worlds with blood in his twisted artform for the Prince of Pleasure.
