Description
Cyril is a drifter in every way. They stand at an average height dressed in stitched up-ragged clothes admittedly pulled from bins and bargained for. An eclectic mix but always uniformed by a heavy backpack that never leaves his side. Their face is often covered by a bandana painted with a skull, but even still what skin is visible is covered in heavy scars, dirt, and marks. On his left eye he wears a shattered eyeglass but still retains both dull brown eyes. Personality wise they are generally very sweet and seemingly naive or perhaps just mad. But even still possess a good sense of survival despite their occupation which they use to justify both their actions and the actions of those around them. Giving a darker tone to the hunter.
Cyril often refers to themselves in third person- a habit he’s trying to break out of.
Early Life
Cyril was born Roberto Guster in Mississippi to Rose and Ned Guster, the former of who died a few years after his birth, leaving Cyril a drifter at a very young age, a stowaway at 7 Cyril headed out through Louisiana into Arkansas, wanting to escape from his birthplace whereby he met two people who would raise and shape the young hunter. Cyril Huxley and Hannah Kelley. A medium and an alchemist. The three of them would travel through Arkansas in pursuit of the paranormal and selling their services in exorcism and contacting the other side. A spectacle that lead them to Oklahoma. Their trade served them well until a demonstration of possession went wrong and lead to the death of an audience member, causing the trio to flea into Texas
Hereby the three met with two other people of similar occupation. Roland Rudolph, a trapper on the search of rumours and Louie Carpenter, a Priest seeking the hellish. They soon joined up with the trio and together formed the Order of the Fallen Swallow. A group dedicated to the investigation and eradication of the supernatural with investigations into the occult. They travelled from town to town upon hearing rumours and hunted those deemed inhuman, especially in the territory of the undead and paranormal. During this time Hannah fell pregnant but died in childbirth, starting a rift within the group that'd lead to riskier decisions and ultimately their downfall in the event of an ambush in 1900
Orchestrated by a neighbouring outlaw gang of a supposed vampire the group had murdered, the Order was descended upon and taken. Roland, Louie and Roberto were snatched by the gang and tortured. With Roland dying and Louie escaping. After weeks of the torment Roberta escaped with the help of Louie and Cyril. Cyril dying in the process
Present Life
From what Cyril says they came in to NA from Texas, being just a wanderer moving across America hunting monsters to keep people safe.
News of his father, Ned lead him to New Alexandria but the friends he's made keeps bringing him back even after finding out the truth
