Cyrus (Japanese: アカギ Akagi) is Team Galactic's Boss. He disregards all emotions, thinking of them as products of a weak human heart. His goal is to remake the universe in his own image, with himself as the god. He is likely from Sunyshore City, as a pair of old people there knew him when he was young and he asked a man to keep all people away from it while Team Galactic was doing evil things. When Cyrus was young he lived in Sunyshore City and was a very good student. However, he wasn't friendly to others and avoided them, preferring the company of robots and machines.

In the games

The player first meets him in Mt. Coronet, but he will not battle, nor give his name. Later on, the two men guarding Lake Valor will mention his name in passing, though Cyrus himself is not identified until he is actually faced for the first time in the Galactic Veilstone Building.

Trivia

• His Japanese name, Akagi, is a common surname in Japan, which may indicate that, like Giovanni, his name in Japan is merely his last name, leaving his first unknown. "Akagi" also means "red castle", "red tree", or "red future", the last of which may reference the many deaths that would have taken place if his scheme had come to fruition.
• Incidentally, there is a volcano called Akagi in the real-world Kanto region of Japan.
• A couple in Sunyshore City mentions that Cyrus was born and raised in Sunyshore City. It also happens that Team Galactic has never attacked the city, perhaps because the leader, Cyrus himself, still has childhood memories of it.
