ＰＥＲＳＯＮＡＬＩＴＹ:
There are generally three sides that Cy has to himself. When he's in large crowds or with people he does not know, Cy generally keeps to himself and listens to what is being said. While he doesn't study psychology or sociology, he knows the basics and makes judgments on people through observation. Rarely does he open up to people he doesn't trust and he says little besides short, concise sentences or questions. Occasionally, he might let out a sarcastic quip. However, he will draw attention to himself and speak up when he deems a topic important enough. While he does read people, Cyrus guards himself from using his observations in a manipulative way. He dislikes messing with other people's lives as he believes in the rights of the individual and, though he believes that his course of action is usually correct, he very rarely forces people to accept his way through force or coercion.

When he's among friends, however, Cy lets his guard down and takes part in conversations. He generally feels most comfortable when he's with a small group of friends or alone with someone. He will make jokes and make his opinion known, somewhat forcefully if need be. While he may appear to be a loner to those who do not know him, he can in reality be very sociable. Once his trust is given, it is very hard to break but when it is broken, it is almost impossible for you to earn it back. Cyrus hates to be used or lied to and expects a very good reason for why someone would lie to him. However, if he finds that he likes someone romantically, he can become a bit more cautious, even if they are close friends. This might stem from a fear of rejection or embarrassment or because he is a private person and dislikes opening himself up to vulnerability or marching into a situation without a plan up his sleeve. Whatever the case, he treats his love life (or lack of it) like another obstacle to overcome in order to achieve a favorable outcome for himself and whoever else is involved.

On his own, Cyrus is contemplative. He retreats completely into his mind, his body on auto-pilot when a situation does not require his full attention or completely focusing on his task when it does. He does some of his best thinking when he is on his own, though his mind is always in motion. There are a few things which Cyrus is really passionate about. One of these is his strong opinions on politics and economics. He believes that the government is not to be trusted. The U.S. Government in particular has fallen into corruption and fraud, which hates above all else. He is concerned about the Constitution and Bill of Rights which he rather admires. He is passionate about the Austrian school of economics. He believes in the gold standard, capitalism, and letting businesses and banks fail. The person he admires the most is Ron Paul. It is not surprising that, though Cyrus is wary of government, he is very patriotic in the sense that he believes in the vision of the Founding Fathers. It helps with the knowledge that many of them were demigods and not a few of them were also children of Athena including George Washington.

ＲＥＬＡＴＩＯＮＳＨＩＰ ＷＩＴＨ ＧＯＤＬＹ ＰＡＲＥＮＴ:
Cyrus really wants to live up to his mother's expectations. He is somewaht insecure about their relationship and, at heart, just wants to be worthy of being called a child of Athena. He appreciates the gifts she ocassionally allows him to find, but what he really wants is to see her more.

ＢＩＯＧＲＡＰＨＹ:
Professor Edward Goldsmith was an Economics Professor at American InterContinental University in Atlanta, Georgia. He was a single man in his mid-30's when he met a woman that was not only brilliant but beautiful as well and understood his classical liberal economic theories without belittling them as out-of-date. True, she asked very challenging questions, but they were respectful and stimulating. Rarely had Edward Goldsmith had such stimulating conversations with his colleagues, most of whom subscribed to flawed economic theories such as Keynesianism and political ideologies that would not accept a limited money supply. Soon enough, the relationship between himself and the woman became something more than academic and she disappeared, coming back into his life many months later with a child.

It came to some shock for Edward Goldsmith to realize that the woman he had been involved with was Athena, the Greek goddess of wisdom and that they had a son together. Nonetheless, he loved Cyrus instinctively in only the way a parent could understand when he first held his child, though he was heartbroken to realize that Athena could never be with the two of them. Edward raised Cyrus as his son despite the rumors that circulated about his having a child outside of wedlock. He shared his passion for economics with his only son and had high standards for him, but was never unkind. Athena never visited them until Cyrus was 13 and Cyrus grew up ignorant of his heritage.

When Cyrus turned 13, Athena appeared out of the blue. Edward, of course, was speechless, but Athena was patient with him and even talked with him a little bit before the two sat Cyrus down and explained his heritage. He had been hidden from monsters until then, but now that he reached puberty, the monsters would turn their attention to him. He needed to go somewhere safe to learn how to not just be a human, but a demigod as well. Cyrus wished he could have said more to his mom about his life and how he felt, but what came out of his mouth were questions about the gods and the world and her. She had smiled at him and told him to live up to his potential. Since then, Cyrus has attended Aeonis Demigod Academy, wondering what she meant.

ＦＡＶＯＲＩＴＥ ＰＯＷＥＲ:
Cyrus prizes his intelligence above all else. He honestly can't imagine his life without it.

ＭＩＳＣＥＬＬＡＮＥＯＵＳ:
Cy has a pet owl as his companion whom he named Odysseus.
