Editing Cyrus (section)

==Retribution==
Cyrus returns in [[Dawn of War II#Retribution| Retribution]] as a companion to [[Apollo Diomedes]] on the quest to shitkick [[Azariah Kyras]]. For once, his bitching is appreciably useful, as it plays some role in helping Diomedes overcome his pride and recognize Kyras as a traitor. It may also have something to do with the fact that he's bitching at Boreale 2.0 instead of an avatar of the player, and he overall is just less of a whiny emo when he does it. He's usually the one who does the mission briefings, since he's the only one who can really scout. On the whole, he remains almost exactly like he was previously, and continues to be useful on the field while contributing nothing of value otherwise. (So he scouts, provides tactical briefings and performs well in battle? What more should he do, climb out of your computer screen and cook you dinner?)

His incessant bitching about his experience and his bitter temperament makes you want to punch the hormonal douche in his ovaries. On the other hand, he can remain infiltrated indefinitely if you max out his will stat and gets a new trick that lets him fire a whole bunch of sniper shots at once, so he's still pretty useful. That said, his Honor Guard replacement is the only source of Assault Terminators you get in the campaign, so it's not a 100% necessity to bring him to every mission.
