This article covers the various depictions of Cyrus from the tie-in novelizations, comic books, and other media.

Comics

Maximum Press

Ignoring the continuity from Galactica 1980, he is known as Cylon 8765 who experiences a malfunction after his Raider encounters an ion storm. After being rescued by Base Ship 127, he begins to question the objectives of the Cylon Empire and believes that the extermination of the human species is wrong. He hopes to ask the human Warrior they had captured, who turns out to be Starbuck. However, as there is no continuation of this story, Cy's fate in the Maximum Press storyline remains unknown (^{(Comics: The Rebirth of Cy, Part 1)}).

Realm Press

Cyrus is a Cylon Command Centurion.

Cyrus is created at Cylon Recycling Facility 414 on the planet Artoru. The process is an upgrade from a salvaged Centurion whose brain functions were found still active in the neuro-net. After a refurbishment of the endoskeleton, the Centurion's neural patterns are successfully transferred and rebooted, completing the upgrade to a Command-class Centurion.

His creation is presented as a standard, if successful, salvage operation. The Cylon technicians performing the upgrade view it as menial work, contrasting it with more important "advancements in technology" like the high-priority Project Vulpa Seven being overseen by the scientist Bael (^{(Comics: Fire in the Sky)}).

Notes

• This is likely a nod to Cyrus (a.k.a. "Cy") introduced in Galactica 1980's "The Return of Starbuck". Other comics also take efforts to introduce variations of Cyrus as well, but this particular variant from Realm Press' run does not appear again.
