About (No Spoilers)

     Cyan is a loyal knight and protector of the throne of the Kingdom of Doma.  He is a serious yet wise character, although throughout the game, he will have to learn how to deal with tragedy and loneliness to become a true-bred warrior and knight.  Cyan is a brave warrior willing to fight no matter what the odds are.

Major Relations

     Cyan appears to have a tough time trusting Celes as she was once an ex-General of the Empire and the Empire is the source of Cyan’s emotional turmoil.  As an honorable and loyal warrior, Cyan is a trusted person and he gets along well with the other members of the Returners.  Cyan doesn’t have any major character relations with your other party members but he has strong ties mostly with his deceased family and he also cares for a women in one of the towns in the game as you will find out later on.

Character Developments (Spoilers)

     Early in the game, Cyan is hit with tragedy as his family has died as the result of Kefka poisoning Doma.  After gathering up his emotions, Cyan then sets his sights on the Empire and is willing to avenge the death of his loving family.  Cyan later joins the Returners and supports their cause as the Empire was directly responsible for the poisoning at Doma and as a serious person, Cyan seems to have put his problems behind him for most of the game, although later on, he learns to cope and deal with loneliness in his life.

Review

     Cyan does have a special command in battle called “Swordtech”.  From this, he can do different kinds of sword attacks which can prove deadly and useful as well.  While some aren’t entirely helpful, a lot of them are good for the most part.  To me, Cyan is a very trustful and honourable character and while his personality is a little dull and bland, he’s more of a serious character when it comes to certain issues.  I didn’t like Cyan all that much but when it comes to battle, he’s a good character to have, nevertheless.

Weapons/Armor

     Unlike the other characters in the game, Cyan can equip blades and other kinds of swords that are different from most other characters.  He is able to equip very heavy armor and his defense is fairly respectable and his swordtech skills will no doubt come in handy during some situations.  Although, Cyan is one of the weakest characters when it comes to speed and magic power as he is strictly used as a physical attacker.  However, Cyan lacks in versatility as he is restricted to only using certain kinds of armor and weapons.

    *NOTE: Value is the price you must pay for it, if it's "1", you can find it as an item.
     If "???" is the attack power value, the value will change on varying conditions such as level.
