Cyrus' Role

In the Chrono Trigger game, Cyrus was a childhood friend of Glenn (Frog, as the player meets him) and also was Glenn's mentor. After joining the ranks of Guardia's knights, he became the leader of the group, and was sent on various missions -- including the retrieval of the Hero's Medal from the Frog King and the procuring of the legendary sword Masamune. It was in one of these missions that Cyrus was killed by the dark wizard Magus. And in this incident, Glenn was transformed into Frog. Thought dead by Magus, Glenn wanted to avenge Cyrus with his medal in hand. During the quest to defeat Lavos, the team (Crono & Company) visited the Northern Ruins. The first time around, Cyrus took the form of an angry ghost. However, visiting him at these same ruins in his original lifetime, 600 A.D. with Frog in the party yields a final blessing from Cyrus and the Masamune's final upgrade in the game, making it one of the most powerful weapons available to the party. Cyrus' final characterization is that of a powerful, heroic, upstanding knight -- a role model for the soldiery and citizenry alike. From that point on, the Northern Ruins are renamed Hero's Grave.
