Personality:
Having been mostly by himself whilst growing up, has trouble feeling empathetic towards both bluebloods and dragons alike. Although not exactly disdainful, he is quite apathetic towards others and their emotions. Cyrus does feel protective and watchful of bluebloods and humans, but despite his affection towards them, however there is also a feeling of detachment and shallowness in those sentiments. Overall, easy-going and rather nonchalant. Polite to both men and women. Likes to act ‘gentlemanly’. Has the feeling of a grandpa trying too hard...
Strengths:
Relaxed, generally calm hard to anger
Generous, likes to help others without expecting anything back
Pacifist, doesn't bother with confrontation usually.
Weaknesses:
Can’t fly rn cause he's dumb, has to slither on land, dragon form only really viable in large bodies of water.
Too chill.
Detached, won’t make decisive actions. Would prefer to let things solve themselves
Needs glasses, doesn't wear glasses.

Background:
[ TLDR: Baby dragon born at sea, dragon likes to follow ships around cause it craves interactions. After 1000+ years of travelling , dragon just wants to stay inside now, so he builds a lighthouse and lives with a different human for countless years in cycles. Eventually thrown onto floaty island because he's dumb. ]
A young blue Dragon hatched from the bottom of the sea. Swimming and swimming, having finally made his way to the surface, he found no one around him but the great blue ocean and a small island for himself to call home.
Most of Cyrus’s younger years were spent conversing (allegedly) with mermaids and sirens that swam close to his island. Even the fish and aquatic animals became his conversation partners. Whether he was just talking to himself or actually thinking the fishes understood him, idk. Heeding stories of land creatures building wooden vessels to traverse the great oceans sparked the beginning of his interest in the species called humans. As humankind began to learn to travel across the seven seas to discover the world, so did he.
Trailing different ships and learning their languages from below, Cyrus eventually followed them onto land. It wasn’t uncommon that sailors would mysteriously count one extra passenger on their ships. Since then, the dragon has mingled with countless civilisations, watching them rise and fall.
Having seemingly seen everything in the past 1000 years or so, the dragon began to have thoughts of settling down. Returning to his island, he built a great lighthouse. To this lonely island, he would bring back sorrowful individuals that wanted to be taken away from their unfortunate lives. Together, the dragon would take care of his human until they wished to leave or reached the end of their life on the island. The cycle would continue over and over, generations passing...
That was until one day he accidentally got swept up by a tornado and thrown into halcyon whilst fishing.

Extra:
His shirt is Italian silk, not boyfriend material.
Carries around an umbrella so he can offer it to you when it rains. (he’s also usually the cause of the rain but still.)
Big fan of Anne Bonny and Mary Read
Went around sinking ships that didn’t have women on them during the whole ‘females on a ship are unlucky’ era
Usually wearing a Hawaiian shirt and glasses whilst gardening but he won’t let you catch him in that getup.
He basically sees bluebloods and humans as something along the lines of precious but not of equal footing? (he loves them just not in a very sincere way lmao)
Genuinely wonders why his children don’t call him.
