Cyrus Rivermoore (サイラス=リーヴァモア, Sairasu Rīvuamoa), is a fifth-year student at Kimberly Magic Academy, known for his mastery of necromancy, a dark and powerful form of magic that allows him to control the bones of the dead. His abilities are as dangerous and formidable as those of Ophelia, another powerful figure in the magical world. Cyrus’s necromantic skills make him a figure of intrigue and caution at the academy, as his powers challenge the boundaries of life and death.
Despite his formidable abilities, Cyrus remains a student, navigating the complexities of the magical world while honing his craft. His connection to the dark arts and his reputation as a necromancer make him a character surrounded by mystery, and his actions and intentions often leave others wondering where his true allegiances lie.
Background

Appearance in Anime
Cyrus Rivermoore hails from an unknown background, but his talent for necromancy became evident at an early age. He is a fifth-year student at Kimberly Magic Academy, one of the most prestigious institutions for magical education. Unlike most students, who focus on more conventional forms of magic, Cyrus has dedicated himself to mastering necromancy, a branch of magic known for its connection to the dead and its often taboo nature.
Necromancy, the art of controlling the bones and spirits of the dead, is both revered and feared in the magical world. While many would shy away from such dark arts, Cyrus has embraced them fully, seeing them as a path to greater power and understanding. His control over the bones of the dead gives him a unique and dangerous edge, as he is capable of manipulating the dead in various ways to serve his purposes.
Throughout his time at Kimberly, Cyrus’s abilities have become well-known, and he is regarded as a student to be wary of. His dangerous abilities make him both a valuable asset and a threat within the academy. He is equally as dangerous as Ophelia, a fellow student, and this comparison only adds to his reputation.
Appearance
Cyrus Rivermoore has a distinct and eerie appearance that reflects his necromantic abilities. He is tall and slender, with pale skin that gives him a ghostly, almost unnatural look. His sharp, angular features are often set in a neutral or contemplative expression, adding to the mysterious aura that surrounds him.
Cyrus’s hair is typically dark and kept neat, contrasting with his pale complexion. His attire consists of the standard Kimberly Magic Academy uniform, though he may accessorize with items that reflect his necromantic interests, such as bone-like jewelry or artifacts that hint at his mastery of death magic. His appearance, while refined, carries an air of coldness and detachment, further reinforcing his status as a figure tied to death and the arcane arts.
Personality
Cyrus Rivermoore’s personality is characterized by a calm, reserved demeanor, often giving him the appearance of being detached from the world around him. He is not one to speak out unnecessarily, preferring to observe and assess situations before acting. His aloof nature makes it difficult for others to truly understand him, and this only adds to his air of mystery.
Despite his apparent coldness, Cyrus is intelligent and calculating, able to use his necromantic powers with precision and purpose. He does not engage in frivolous actions, and every move he makes is well thought out. His mastery over necromancy has also made him somewhat arrogant, as he believes that his abilities put him above others in terms of magical prowess. However, his aloofness and distant nature prevent him from forming many close relationships, and he is often seen as a loner at Kimberly Magic Academy.
Though his personality may seem cold and distant, Cyrus’s motivations are not driven solely by power. He harbors a deep curiosity about death and the mysteries of the afterlife, which drives his study of necromancy. His obsession with understanding death and life beyond it often leads him to isolate himself from others, as he believes that only by mastering the dead can he truly unlock the secrets of the world.
Role in the Story
Fearsome Reputation: Cyrus’s name is often brought up when discussing the most dangerous students at Kimberly, particularly in the same breath as Ophelia Salvadori, another student necromancer. Though he is not always directly involved in central plot events, his presence looms large as a symbol of the risks and moral dilemmas inherent in dark magic.
A Benchmark of Power: When other students encounter Cyrus, it often serves as a litmus test of their strength and courage. His mere arrival can shift the dynamic of a scene, and his willingness to use the bones of the dead in combat or research positions him as a highly skilled and controversial figure.
Relationships
Ophelia Salvadori: Though their direct relationship is rarely shown, Cyrus is often compared to Ophelia due to their shared necromantic prowess. They are considered equally dangerous, though they operate separately. Some suspect a rivalry, while others believe they share a mutual respect as outliers within the magical system.
Kimberly Faculty and Students: Cyrus commands both fear and awe from those around him. Many students keep their distance, while some more ambitious mages view him as a potential source of forbidden knowledge. Faculty members acknowledge his raw talent but remain cautious of his ethical boundaries.
