Cyprian Cyberniskos was raised in a small village near the Duchy of Adria. He was raised by his father Aegeus Cyberniskos and mother Adren Cyberniskos. He never knew where his family came from with their strange names being different from the other villagers, but there was one thing that he did know, and that was that His father was a exceptional swordsman. Everyday his father brutally drilled swordsmanship into him leaving no room for exploring the arts of peace. Though during the slower times his father would speak to him about the “Warriors Code” and what it means to “Live”. Death was simply a state of being to his father, and honor was found there. His father said, “If one has a chance to lay down his life for something he loves, then there is no greater honor”. Which overtime became Cyprians way of thinking. Though one day, after coming home with his father from training something seemed off. Little did they know that the war between the Empire of Man and Duchy of Adria would come to their small village, apparently some of the mercenaries were let go after the sacking of Ves and resorted to banditry. Which such bandits were attacking their village as they came back, charging in both father and son fought through the bandits to reach home. Which by the time they reached there, the house was on fire, and screams could be heard from inside. Instinctively they rushed inside searching for Adren, but the house started collapsing. A part of the roof fell on top of Cyprian pinning him down, where the fire started to engulf his body burning his face, torso, legs, and arms. Luckily his father was able to drag him from under the debris and out of the burning house, unfortunately a little too late to save him from the scarring and burns. The bandits surrounded him and his father and forced Aegeus to surrender. The bandits took his father in chains, but left him on the ground as they thought he was as good as dead. Weeks later he woke up in a strangers home, where he was treated for his wounds. He was given a mask and soon left his care takers home in search of his father.
