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 was born and raised in Sunyshore City, as noted in Pokémon Diamond and Pearl by an elderly couple residing there. When Cyrus was young, he was a very good student; however, he was antisocial, preferring the company of robots and machines over humans.
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.
Upon being defeated at Mt. Coronet, Cyrus claims he will have revenge and disappears. His assets and duties are left to Saturn.
Pokémon
His team consists of the following Pokémon:
First battle (Veilstone City)
Second battle (Spear Pillar)
In the Pokémon Special Manga
Cyrus makes his first appearance when Diamond, Pearl, and Berlitz are at the reception office to Mt. Coronet.

Names
The majority of Cyrus's names refer to the sun; this may be a reference to how Cyrus would figuratively hold the sun's position as center of his new world.
Language | Name | Origin |

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.
