Persona Profile: Cyrek (Inactive)

Writer: Yvonne

Name: Cyrek
Age: 50
Birthday: m3 d17
Rank: Hold Resident
Location: Amber Hills Hold

Physical Description of Persona:
Cyrek is of average height for a man and is of a stocky build that is beginning to sag a bit around the middle. He has thick hairy eyebrows, a crooked nose, and brown eyes nestled in a bed of crows feet. His dark hair is liberally salted with grey, and he has large, scarred hands.

Emotional Description of Persona:
Friendly (although somewhat cynical), Cyrek is not a hard man to get along with...as long as everyone does their job efficiently and on time. He has exacting standards and has been called 'fussy' on more than one occassion. Excuses are not tolerated, and he can be quite intimidating when provoked. He has trouble delegating tasks and is often caught doing things himself so that they are "done right!" Cyrek is methodical (but by no means slow), and is in posession of a frighteningly accurate memory.

History of Persona:
Cyrek was born at Amethyst Cliff Hold and instead of being apprenticed to one of the Crafts went to work for the Steward, then Alalir. He soon proved his worth, being thorough and fast in the tasks assigned to him, innovative, decisive, and often taking the initiative. Alalir eventually promoted him to assistant Steward, and Cyrek proved to be invaluable.

He married at 19 turns but lost his wife three turns later in childbirth. Meiala was lost, but their daughter, Mariss, survived, and Cyrek is devoted to her.

Cyrek was promoted to Steward when Alair became Lord Holder and the transition between the two was been seamless. Although their working relationship changed, Cyrek retained a great deal of respect for the new Lord Holder, and between the two of them Amethyst Cliff prospered... until the day that it came crashing down around them in an earthquake.

With the Lord Holder and his family dead, his Hold in ruins, and his future shattered, Cyrek should have been happier to accept the offer of the Stewardship from the elderly Lord of Amber Hills Hold. It felt like a betrayel to pack up and leave the only home he'd ever known, but for his daughter's sake, Cyrek has stifled his sense of loyalty to Amethyst Cliff in favour of a new Hold.

Pets

Trouble, Bronze Firelizard: aged 19, hatched m5 d17
Trouble was originally named Flare, but it soon became apparent that 'Trouble' suited him much better. Cyrek's daughter gave him the flit egg when she was six years old, and he *still* has no clue how she managed it. Trouble is of average size and glows a brassy bronze, and is very efficient at delivering messages.
