As the boss of Team Galactic, Cyrus is the nihilistic main antagonist of the [[Sinnoh]] games, with the ultimate goal of summoning {{p|Dialga}} and/or {{p|Palkia}} in order to destroy the universe so that he may start it again as its god. Born and raised in [[Sunyshore City]], he was known to be a good, albeit asocial, student, and so preferred the company of machines over humans and Pokémon. Despite being such a good student, however, he did not live up to his parents' expectations, and so felt rejected. Sometime after this, he decided emotions were the source of all strife in the world, and that only the elimination of emotions, along with spirit, could be the end of fighting in the world, which lead to his plan and actions during the storyline in Sinnoh. His grandfather, who lives on {{rt|228|Sinnoh}} in {{game|Platinum}}, regrets not taking him in during his time of need. It is also notable that Cyrus is very persistent in order to reach his dream. After being defeated one final time by the player, he ominously hints that he will someday make his ultimate goal into a reality. In the [[Distortion World]] in Platinum, it is questionable what happened to him, as he simply walks away, deeper into the world, and is not encountered on the player's return visit. | As the boss of Team Galactic, Cyrus is the nihilistic main antagonist of the [[Sinnoh]] games, with the ultimate goal of summoning {{p|Dialga}} and/or {{p|Palkia}} in order to destroy the universe so that he may start it again as its god.

Later on, the two men guarding [[Lake Valor]] will mention his name in passing, though Cyrus himself is not identified until he introduces himself after the player defeats a {{tc|Team Galactic Grunt}} and investigates the ruins in [[Celestic Town]]. He is later fully identified as the boss of Team Galactic when the player raids the [[Team Galactic HQ]] and meets him in his office. After being defeated, he gives the player a [[Master Ball]], claiming he doesn't need it for what he's planning, and telling the player to free the captured [[lake guardians]] if they so wish, as they've already served their purpose to him. At the [[Spear Pillar]], Cyrus uses the [[Red Chain]] to summon {{p|Dialga}}{{sup/4|D}}{{sup/8|BD}} or {{p|Palkia}}{{sup/4|P}}{{sup/8|SP}}, intending to use its divine power to create a new world, where he will be a deity. However, the lake guardians stop the creation process and destroy the Red Chain, thwarting Cyrus's plan. Flying into a rage, Cyrus battles the player one more time. After being defeated, he claims he will have revenge and disappears. His assets and duties are left to [[Saturn]]. In Pokémon Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl, Cyrus can be encountered and fought at the {{si|Battle Tower}} during the post-game. | ||
In {{v2|Platinum}}, Cyrus's role is expanded a bit, as he is first met at [[Lake Verity]] near the start of the game. He is also met in front of the statue in [[Eterna City]]. Unlike before, he is first battled in the ruins of Celestic Town. After summoning both Dialga and Palkia at the Spear Pillar, he is taken by {{p|Giratina}} to the Distortion World, where he eventually battles the player one last time. After the player battles Giratina, Cyrus stays in the Distortion World, still vowing to create a world without spirit. | In {{v2|Platinum}}, Cyrus's role is expanded a bit, as he is first met at [[Lake Verity]] near the start of the game.

An [[Pokémon multiverse|alternate universe]] version of Cyrus appears as a member of [[Team Rainbow Rocket]] in {{g|Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon}}. He is one of the second pair of bosses the player must face, along with [[Lysandre]]. Like the other bosses, this Cyrus was summoned from a world where his plans succeeded. However, as he explains to the player, he was engulfed by a mysterious shadow during his moment of victory and transported to the game's world. At first, he appears confused about his location, asking the player if he has reached the new world. No matter what the player's response is, he senses that the player possesses a strong spirit and concludes that he has not reached his desired world. The [[Rotom Pokédex]] catches his attention, and he interacts with it, leading him to realize that even the Pokédex has a spirit in the game's world. Resolving to remove the human spirit from the world he is in and bring it to a perfect state, Cyrus challenges the player, using Dialga{{sup/7|US}}/Palkia{{sup/7|UM}} as part of his team. After losing, he realizes upon Rotom's suggestion that the source of the player's strength is their friendship with all Pokémon, and promises that he will not do anything to the game's world, deciding instead to return to the perfect world that he created. Cyrus gives the player the [[Galactic Key]], which allows them to undo one of the locks on [[Giovanni]]'s headquarters. He is later returned to his original world by [[Colress]] off-screen. | An [[Pokémon multiverse|alternate universe]] version of Cyrus appears as a member of [[Team Rainbow Rocket]] in {{g|Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon}}.

In ''[[DP111|Saving the World From Ruins!]]'', Cyrus was seen in [[Team Galactic HQ]] alongside [[Saturn]] and [[Jupiter]] as well as [[Charon]]. They were coordinating [[Mars]]'s mission on [[Iron Island]] and using a beam launched with the [[Spear Key]] to scan energy readings from the [[Spear Pillar]]. However, the scan only reached 60% after Ash and his friends intervened.

Towards the end of ''[[DP150|Unlocking the Red Chain of Events!]]'', Cyrus requested [[J]]'s services in capturing the trio of {{an|Lake guardians}}. In ''[[DP151|The Needs of the Three!]]'', he watched J's mission from Team Galactic's headquarters alongside [[Charon]]. Later, he supervised Charon's experiment to bring the captured lake guardians under their control with the [[Red Chain]] and revealed himself as Team Galactic's boss to Ash, Dawn, and {{an|Brock}} when they teleported into the laboratory.

Cyrus later appears at the Celestic ruins where Diamond and Pearl finally meet him in person. He came to the ruins to find information of the Legendary Pokémon Uxie, Azelf, and Mesprit. He battles [[Cynthia's Garchomp]] and later, Diamond and Pearl, who had stolen the camera he used to take pictures of the paintings in the ruins.

With his camera destroyed and having the information he needed, Cyrus takes his leave and traps the two boys on top of a pillar of stone. | Cyrus later appears at the Celestic ruins where Diamond and Pearl finally meet him in person.

Later, while Jupiter battles Mitsumi at Lake Acuity, Cyrus sends a phone call to Jupiter in which he requests that Mitsumi comes to him. It is eventually revealed that Cyrus had picked up Mitsumi when she was a child and raised her to be Team Galactic's greatest warrior. By holding her beloved {{p|Eevee}} hostage, Cyrus forces Mitsumi to once again fight for him and makes her battle Hareta. As they battle, Cyrus coldly tries to convince Mitsumi that she is alone in the world and that she only belongs in Team Galactic. Eventually, Hareta manages to break through to Mitsumi and convinces her to fight as a real Trainer instead of a member of Team Galactic. | Later, while Jupiter battles Mitsumi at Lake Acuity, Cyrus sends a phone call to Jupiter in which he requests that Mitsumi comes to him.

Later, at the Spear Pillar, after waiting for the return of Hareta, Cyrus assumes he had died in the explosion and goes on with his plan. With the Red Chain, Cyrus finally summons the Pokémon of Time, {{p|Dialga}}, and takes control of it.
