Seran, an Ul'dahn, had made inquiries into exploration of the Palace of the Dead, during which Cyrilaux was assigned to assist and monitor his activities as a Gridanian escort. During the expedition, Seran found a spyglass in the depths below the Palace and then suddenly disappeared without a word. Thinking him to be a mere thief of Gridanian secrets, Cyrilaux tracked him down all the way to Vylbrand where Seran had petitioned the scholars of Nymlight reveal more on precise nature of the artifact. This was all a misunderstanding, as the spyglass in fact held an unexpected deep personal value to Seran. Intrigued by Nymlight's impressive group of adventurers and research resources, Cyrilaux and Seran both convinced them to let them join their organization. |

used to being in the company of lords.
Cyril has been known to carry a spear since taking his first steps in Gridania about five years ago. When on duty as a member of the Lancer’s Guild, Cyril wears the standard Wood Wailer uniform complete with mask. Otherwise, he typically sticks to unassuming clothing so as not to stand out, seemingly by deliberate choice. While he has been a part of the Gridanian military for at least a few years now, he has never been said to have been seriously injured. Thus, it is unknown what caused the prominent scar on the left side of his face.
Aspects That Stand Out:
When on duty, he will often be found in areas of the Black Shroud, or in Gridania, keeping the peace. He will leave the Twelveswood on official assignments and missions.
Almost as if by deliberate choice, Cyrilaux is content with his role as a steadfast, reliable, yet unambitious member of the Wood Wailers, and very rarely speaks of his own hopes and dreams beyond his standard duties. As a traveling companion, he is happy to let others take the reins, merely providing the support – both in battle prowess and as a motivator – to see others reach their goals. Despite this, he is no stranger to taking command, and would never allow the lack of clear direction or leadership steer a group towards failure, at least in responsibilities to friend and realm. Yet these same qualities would serve to betray his own deep desires and disparage his hidden potential. Something is keeping him shackled – fears, doubts or something more sinister? Without a push in the right direction, he seems intent to live and die without experiencing all that Eorzea has to offer.
