History
Cyrus seemed to have appeared during the Age of Man sometime around the Classical Era. During this time period he took form of a human child which many dubbed him as Cupid.The spread of the Roman Empire allowed Cyrus to flourish and spread his influence over much of Europe. However during the Fall of the Roman Empire Cyrus's power diminished drastically and thus he was force to go into hibernation while his brother Grief flourished during these dangerous and dark days of mankind. Cyrus in his human form during the Classical Era. As the Dark Ages ended and the Renaissance Era came to pass Cyrus regained much of his lost power from the fall of the Roman Empire. With the establishment of the Holy Roman Empire and the spread of languages like Latin Cyrus slowly, but surely started to be rejuvenated after a long hibernation period.However it wasn't until colonial times and during the early days of the American Revolution that Cyrus was able to regain all his lost power.

Sadly however during the days of the first World War and for sometime afterward Cyrus's influence over-mankind started to wane again. Following the great Depression Cyrus was mostly fed by those families who endured the hardships they were given and yet remained loyal and caring to one another.Sadly the approaching times would be some of the worst for not only Cyrus, but for mankind as well.

During the Atomic Era Cyrus was devastated by the negative and barbaric energy that humanity produced, while his more savage older brother Grief flourished during theses dark times. The amount of violence and war atrocities committed by humans against their own species left Cyrus drastically underpowered. If it were not for the people who fought for peace and their loved ones Cyrus might have not been able to help mankind get pasts these dire times. While he was able to regain some of his lost power during the end of the war the coming of the Cold War would see him go through a series of spikes and falls with his power.

It is unclear what happened to Cyrus during the Great Information Era, however with the ending of the Age of Man and the coming of the Age of Mobians times were about to change, and fortunately Cyrus it would be for the better.

The fall of mankind and the rising of Mobians was ironically a boon for Cyrus.

Cyrus and his brother did the same, yet by the Mobains interactions with one another Cyrus's powers started to grow rapidly while his brother Grief entered a period of stagnation. The cooperative and friendly nature of Mobians only further increased Cyrus's own power. However it wouldn't be long before his brother decided to meddle in the affairs of Mobians as he did humans and start of more conflicts.
