Cyrus

Cyrus is a Redguard mercenary and the game's protagonist. His journey to Stros M'Kai began when he received a letter from Tobias, his old captain, about his sister Iszara's disappearance.

He wears a white shirt, burgundy vest, tan pants, and black boots. He carries a sabre during most of his time on the island, only switching to the soul sword during the quest Raze the Palace.

Official Description

Name:	Cyrus
Age:	33 (born 2E 831)
Race:	Redguard
Province of Birth:	Hammerfell
Occupation:	Mercenary

Cyrus spent his youth in Sentinel, the capital of Hammerfell, in the years just before the expansion of Tiber Septim's Empire. He fled his homeland, and abandoned his famly [sic], after killing his sister's husband in a drunken sword fight. Taken in by a band of brigands, led by the Nord pirate captain Tobias, Cyrus soon became a mercenary-for-hire. He wandered the borderlands of the Empire for years, taking whatever jobs he could find, selling his skill with a blade to beggars and petty-kings alike. Recently, he learned that his sister, Iszara, vanished in the wake of the Empire's invasion. Though he vowed never to return to Hammerfell, he now finds himself bound for Stros M'Kai, determined to find Iszara and, perhaps, atonement.

Notes

• Cyrus was voiced by Michael Mack, who also provided voices for Redguard males in Morrowind and Oblivion.
• Another Redguard named Cyrus, serving as a member of the Blades, appears in Oblivion.
