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.

After his defeat at the [[Spear Pillar]], Cyrus 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 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.

* Until [[Charon]]'s introduction, Cyrus was the only one of the four major characters of Team Galactic that does not share a name with a planet. Charon's Japanese namesake, {{wp|Pluto}}, is a {{wp|dwarf planet}}, but was considered a planet between its 1930 discovery and 2006. {{wp|Charon (moon)|Charon}} is the largest of Pluto's five moons.
