Personality
Kyrus is an prideful, honor bound man. He's not the type to judge others and is generally accepting of anyone who is friendly. A extremely righteous man, Kyrus lives by a strict code of honor that dictates every action he takes in his life, While he is kind and merciful, he is undoubtedly a man to be feared when angered. Kyrus himself is highly prone to violence for his beliefs, dealing justice where he see's fit. although it is tempered by his code of honor and desire to help weak.

Kyrus is a man who speaks from the heart. He generally lets his actions and mannerisms speak for him when possible, though is willing to use words when necessary. Kyrus is by no means anti social, but rather prefer to listen to others and give advice rather than start conversations himself. He is wise but not all-knowing and generally means well for those around him, which makes him surprisingly Pleasant company despite his stoic nature.

He sees the world in a more idealistic sense than a real one, believing that his team was unstoppable because they were the top students of beacon.Though As Kyrus gets older, the realities of life starts to sink in and he gains a more realistic view of the world, especially after their fated meeting with Tyrian Callows, resulting in their deaths. He is extremely merciful, willing to forgive but the worst offenses, believing that He is famous for his Stoic Nature, intimidating those who meet him for the first time, although this is more due to his social awkwardness then a means to look tough. Glynda often teases Kyrus about this, much to his dismay.

Kyrus tends to open up those he is comfortable with, especially Glynda and Winter (at least until their relationship ended). This became increasingly rare after his teams death, with kyrus becoming too scared reveal his thoughts to others. Kyrus is one of the few people who can break Winter out of her "Ice Queen" persona, allowing her to be more relaxed around him. Kyrus is by no means a ladies man and he never really goes out of his way to seriously woo women aside from those who have earned his genuine friendship (particularly Winter). Despite, Kyrus does enjoy going to Juniors to relax and have conversations with the Malachite Twins, and continues going to them for internal reflection and help the two hostesses reflect on their own lives.

Despite his kind nature, make no mistake. Kyrus is a man who lusts for battle. Always eager for a fight, he beats down his enemies mercilessly without remorse, claiming that it is an insult to hold back during a fight. He never denies a challenge, even by those weaker than him. He especially likes sparring with Team RWBY, and Team JNPR, always eager to see whether the Best of the "Next generation" has what it takes to beat him. When the latter personality comes out, he don's a wide grin.

Kyrus highly prone to violence for his beliefs, dealing justice to those he feel have abused their privileges. although it is tempered by his code of honor and compassion to defend the helpless. despite Usually keeping his emotions in check, Kyrus has not tolerance for racism and those who prey upon defenseless, usually resulting in someone bloody and beaten on the ground. Tyrian is one the only people who can bring out the monster within Kyrus, causing the mere mention of his name to enrage Kyrus.

Abilities and Powers
"Use Hit And Run Tactics, Attack From A Distance, But Never Let Him Grab A Hold Of You. If He Does, You'll Be In For A Bad Time"

- Qrow's Warning When Fighting Kyrus

- Immense Strength : Due to his Large Size, Kyrus is an exceptionally strong individual bordering on superhuman. His physical might is monstrous, shown by his ability to throw punches with tremendous force, lift very heavy objects as improvised weaponry (e.g. Trees, and Atlesian Knights), throw full grown men with great ease, and even match Hazel Rainart in a brawl. Enhancing himself with aura only makes Kyrus stronger, granting him the ability to throw even larger objects across considerably distances with only one hand. His perhaps most notable feats of strength include killing a Goliath barehanded and being able to stop a charging Atlesian Paladin dead in its tracks.

- Immense Endurance : Kyrus has a inhumanely robust constitution, which contributes to his immense tenacity, his smoking and drinking habits appears to have minimal amount of hazardous side effects on his health, and he can fight long and hard battles against large groups of Grimm with only moderate amount of fatigue.

- Immense Durability : Kyrus is an extremely tough fighter able shrug off beatings, weapon strikes and even bullets with only minimal discomfort. This is made more apparent when he uses aura, as he can simply brace himself without blocking to take hits from enemies without flinching, regardless of the weapon or power put into the attack. The peak of his durability is demonstrated in Battle Of beacon where he battled hordes of Grimm for hours despite the fact his aura was weakened

- High Analytical Prowess: Due to his Faunus Senses and experience as a huntsman, Kyrus is able to study his opponent's movements in real-time. Kyrus studies their weapons, stances, what dust they use, and gradually begin to predict his opponent's moves with pin point accuracy to the point where he is then able to react before they attack, somewhat compensating for his lack of speed. This is shown when Kyrus was easily able to deduce Pyrrah's Movements and predict her attacks. However, predicting opponents who outmatch him in speed and skill take far more time, requiring him to withstand blows before he can begin to understand and predict.

- Master Hand to Hand Combatant : Kyrus is an extraordinary fighter, able to fight a small army of Grimm, and to match strong fighters such as Raven Branwen and Tyrian. Kyrus's skills were mostly self taught through sheer combat experience. His fighting style revolves around chokes, drops, holds and slams. Kyrus calls himself a "defense specialist" who has mastered the art of "destroying while defending". This allows Kyrus to turn his opponent's attack power against them by redirecting and disrupting their strikes and then turning it against them destructively. in this way, the stronger his opponent's attack, the more formidable his defense becomes.

Faunus Heritage
Being a Lion Faunus grants Kyrus superior senses compared to humans, Having Night Vision and enhanced Hearing, it is difficult for someone to sneak up on Kyrus Without the the aid of an semblance. Kyrus's Faunus Trait gives him the fangs

Semblance
Kyrus semblance allows him absorb heat, removing it from the source. The heat is then transferred to him, Increasing his natural healing, and refueling his aura. This compliments Kyrus's fighting style perfectly, allowing him to take ludicrous amounts of damage and keep on fighting. "Congratulations. You Passed. Here's Your reward."

- Kyrus Using Burnout

Burnout
As a last resort, Kyrus is able to absorb Fires dust to put his body in a state he calls "Burnout". Absorbing fire dust increases the cardiovascular output of Kyrus's heart, rapidly boosting his metabolism, increasing his speed, acceleration, torque and, consequently, his damage output. When using Burnout, Kyrus's body temperature is so hot that his body gives releases steam. his heartbeat is loud enough to be heard from a distance, his body becomes extremely vascular, with his blood vessels becoming noticeably visible on the surface of his skin. His sclera becomes visibly darker and his pupil Turns red, similar to the eyes of a Grimm. This also causes Kyrus's skin to become crimson red (earning him the name "Crimson King"). In spite of its power, staying in this form for longer Than 10 minutes will cause severe side effects to Kyrus's body. Its side effects include blood vessel damage, cerebral hemorrhaging, visual and auditory hallucinations, and eventual heart failure and death. Because of this, Kyrus will only use Burnout when there is no other alternative.

Technique
-Tachypsychia: In this mode, Kyrus is able to enter a state of Tachypsychia, or an altered perception of time, allowing him to see everything around him in slow motion. While this does not increase the his physical speed, it allows him to react to his opponents more quickly, letting Kyrus dodge and counter attacks that would otherwise land. This technique is highly taxing on the brain, due to forcing the brain to analyze what it sees at high speeds, and will permanently damage the brain if the Kyrus overuses it. On a field mission with Qrow, Kyrus overused this technique and mistook him for Tyrian, making him lose all reason and lash out at him.

Aura
Kyrus's Aura is Crimson Red. He has a large amount of aura compared to an average huntsman, allowing him to take more punishment. Kyrus's aura is also highly resistant to heat thanks to his semblance, allowing him to ignore but the hottest flames.

Kyrus is seen to have tremendous mastery over his axe. Able to use both defenselessly and offensively, kyrus Hacks, Chops and cleaves anything in his path. Using his axe doesn't necessarily make Kyrus stronger. He usually just uses it against armed opponents to put him on even ground with them.

Ultimatum
Ultimatum has 3 forms, Axe, Scythe and shotgun. weighing 110 lbs, this 2 handed axe is usually treated as a 1 handed axe by kyrus despite its weight. Ultimatum contains a combustion engine on the back of the blade in which he can trigger to add velocity to his swings. This, combined with Kyrus's own power is capable of cleaving Grimm in half, ignoring what armor they have. Ultimatum is also capable of heating the edge, allowing kyrus to cleave through Atlesian Knights with relative ease. With a gravity crystal in the handle, Kyrus can throw the axe great distances and have it return to him or to pull him towards the axes location. Kyrus mainly uses the gravity function as a means of reaching places he normally cant reach, granted it the axe is firmly placed into whatever kyrus threw at it

Prosthetic Arm
After losing his arm to Tyrian, Glynda him the best The prosthetic arm grants him increased strength on top of his already monstrous strength, able to block a Beringel's punch with minimal effort. Through out the years, Kyrus has been adding his own additions into his arm, successfully weaponizing it, the Prosthetic arm includes a built in Flame Shooter located in the Forearm, letting him shoot balls of volatile Fire dust which explode on impact. The shoulder is a chamber which can hold up to 6 dust crystals
