Background(Cyril was the protector of Dante's Freezer during the wars against the Dark Armies. He, along with the other Guardians and war dragons, fought against the forces of the Dark Master until they were driven back when only four Guardians, including himself, remained.

Cyril was one of the Guardians tasked with watching over the dragon eggs at the Dragon Temple, including the egg that contained the next purple dragon Spyro. The Dark Armies soon raided the Temple and overwhelmed Cyril and the other Guardians, allowing the Apes to destroy the other dragon eggs to prevent Spyro's birth under the Dark Master's orders. Sometime after their failure, Cyril went on to fight alongside his fellow Guardians with their army of Dragon Knights against the forces of the Dark Master for the islands. When they were beginning to turn the tide in the war, a large, powerful black dragon named Cynder came, easily decimating the dragons and captured Cyril and the Guardians, all except Ignitus. Cynder took Cyril to Tall Plains where he was drained of his elemental energy in order to power the crystal needed to free the Dark Master.

Years later, Ignitus sent Spyro to rescue Cyril in Tall Plains after he returned with Volteer and the young dragon watched Cynder flee with her powered crystal. Spyro pushed on and found Cyril but he was forced to fight the Stone Sentinel, a revered spiritual entity, but became angered due to a lack of tribute and having its resting place disturbed by Cynder's actions. Once Spyro freed Cyril, the Ice Guardian hurried them back to the temple, and away from the "primitive and barbaric" company of the Atlawas. After a brief reunion with his fellow Guardians, Cyril took Spyro to the training room and taught him how to use his newfound Ice element to a proficient level.

When Spyro returned with Cynder (now free from Malefor's control), Cyril apologized with the rest of the Guardians for not being able to protect the dragon eggs on the night of the raid.

Weeks later, Cyril was asleep along with the rest of the Guardians when Cynder snuck away from the temple out of guilt. When the temple was attacked by the Apes once again, he helped defend it, this time pushing the Apes away and successfully holding his current home, despite the damage the Temple attained. Cyril gathered around the Pool of Visions with the other Guardians when Spyro mentioned the Chronicler and, along with the others, was startled to hear of his existence. With the Guardians unsettled by the reappearance of the Chronicler, who was often linked with tales of doom, and with the visions of the Mountain of Malefor that Spyro was having, Cyril was sent with Volteer by Ignitus to the mainland to learn whatever news they could.

During the three years since Spyro and Cynder's disappearance, Cyril waited with the other Guardians at the Dragon City of Warfang. Cyril didn't make an appearance until Spyro and Cynder successfully prevented Malefor's army from storming the city gates and he swooped down over the retreating army, blasting them with his Ice breath. He turned back, however, when the Golem emerged and began to attack the city; Ignitus sending Cyril to put out the fires in the city. The Ice Guardian came to Spyro and Cynder's aid and saved them from being crushed by the Golem's thrashing tail, using his Ice breath to slow the tail's descent long enough for Spyro and Cynder to cross a staircase before the tail knocked Cyril out of the sky and smashed him through a stone slab. It was revealed that he recovered from the blow when he joined up with Spyro and Cynder after the Golem's defeat.

Sometime after, Cyril and the other Guardians witnessed Malefor reveal his plan and resurrect the Destroyer. They ventured through the city's underground to confront the Destroyer and attacked it before it completed the Ring of Annihilation to initiate the end of the world. When the attack failed however, Cyril helped move the inhabitants of Warfang underground in the hopes that they would be safe, not emerging until Spyro and Cynder defeated Malefor and prevented the destruction of the world. The Ice Guardian looked over the horizon along with everyone else and witnessed the creation of a dragon constellation in the sky, signaling the beginning of a new age. )

Relationships(Volteer the Electricity Guardian - Notably don't get along well; both being annoyed at one another's personality traits (Volteer irritated by Cyril's ego and Cyril being annoyed by Volteer's constant chatter). Regardless of their rivalry, both Guardians are willing to work together when the time comes for the next course of action They do not have any deep-seated dislike for one another, only irritation. Beneath their superficial antagonism lies deeply rooted feelings, their frequent barbs and jibes an obvious veneer for their close bond.)
