HISTORY.
The night is long, and the path is dark
Originally born of another clan, Cyril's family was killed during a plague when he was a young boy. Despite his young age, he was spared from the illness and isolated to ensure his health was protected. Eventually, Lavellan Clan's Keeper stepped in to bring him into her fold. Cyril was one member of a small group of other orphans brought into Lavellan and raised by the clan as one of their own. That group also included a troubled boy named Merrick, a sweet girl named Kali, and a mage named Lulwen who joined Clan Lavellan as their Second.
As Cyril grew up as a member of Lavellan, he found himself restless any time they stopped in their nomadic journeys. He only felt comfortable hunting in the woods or traveling. Any stop meant that he would we become filled with a sense of wanderlust and a desire to start moving again. He took to being a Hunter in part because it let him move around more than just staying at the camp. As a Hunter, he found a fondness for the bow and trap making. His talent for trap making also had to do with his over active mind, which was always thinking of ways to improve current trapping methods.
As a young adult, Cyril also came to experience doubts about the Dalish gods. He enjoyed rituals that his clan partook in for the sense of community and family, but he wasn't certain he believed in any sort of deity behind them. It seemed that it was far more likely that the races of Thedas came through some other way, perhaps more natural means. He saw a lot of wonderful things in the world, but nothing that made him believe in the Creators. He didn't have any idea of what that would mean and mostly kept his doubts to himself, focusing far more on learning what he could about the world and enjoying the hunting trips he took with his siblings. He grew very close to Merrick especially.
Merrick and Cyril were also some few of the clan who had interactions with humans. While the clan as a whole avoided much contact with 'shems', Cyril himself had some humorous interactions with humans who came close to where the clan was camped. He was interested in their existence and how they lived. Part of the reason for that curiosity, was fact that Cyril himself worried about his sexual orientation. While the Keeper and the clan were clear in her support of him, he still was too restless to settle down with one lover, and saw the humans as source of vague entertainment when he encountered them. He felt pressured to start a family to continue the blood line of his clan, and was desperate to experience as much as possible before that.
Those experiences left Cyril with a clear idea of how to handle humans and how to speak to them without insulting them. He also made contacts within the less than honorable aspects of human society, which he sometimes used to set up trade with his clan, and learned a bit about human society and nobility.
Some within the clan were very wary of this interest in humans and that caused some tension between Cyril and a handful of his clan mates. Cyril's restlessness grew with these tensions. He spent more and more time alone in the woods, hunting for the clan but also wishing for some time to himself.
It was then that the Keeper sent him to the Conclave, perhaps because she wanted to ease his restlessness or perhaps because she sensed the great destiny that awaited him there...

PERSONALITY.
The dawn will come.
In general, Cyril is a good person who uses humor to keep things light, especially during tense situations. He has problems expressing his own feelings honestly, as confronting his emotions makes him very uncomfortable. He tries his best to put those around him at ease and works as a mediator when needed. He believes strongly in compromise and tries to find solutions that please all parties involved. He is a strong atheist and that view has been supported by current events. He has loyalty to his people, but enjoys his position as the Inquisitor because it helps alleviate his natural restlessness. He grows very attached to people close to him, but still tends to try to put up a front of good humor rather than being completely open with his own fears or insecurities. This does make him a likable leader but leads to some tension with his personal relationships. That said, he does care deeply for those he thinks of as his Inner Circle. Even with the terrifying battles with ancient Magisters and dragons, he wouldn't change his new found place for the world.
