** To Candace. They are both Egyptian-themed characters wearing {{Stripperiffic}} clothing who debuted in the same wish banners, are TheDreaded protectors of their field, canonically wield the Staff of the Scarlet Sands, have fathers (adoptive father in Cyno's case) that are Akademiya scholars and are known to have links to divinity from the desert. However, their differences in terms of upbringing and connections with the divine have led them to drastically different stations in life. Candace is a tall woman who wears white and grew up in the desert, and her supposed ancestry from King Deshret is actually just a white lie, while Cyno is a short man who wears black, grew up in the Akademiya, and actually hosts a divine spirit within him. Candace is also far more warm and approachable partially due to her work as a hospitable host for visitors to Aaru Village while Cyno maintains a cold and distant demeanor while in work mode.

** To Sethos, his fellow male desert dweller Electro vision holder and [[spoiler:candidate vessel of Hermananubis]]. In appearance, Cyno wears predominantly black and purple Stripperific clothing, while Sethos dresses conservatively in mainly whites and yellows. Cyno has white hair and red eyes, while Sethos has mostly dark brown hair with cream tips and bright green eyes. [[spoiler:During their duel, Cyno goes into the Pactsworn Pathclearer state which manifests as indigo bandages and claws, while Sethos' version is white]]. As playable characters, Cyno uses a polearm as his main weapon and his fighting style has a lot of direct contact with the enemy, while Sethos wields a bow his drip marketing. In terms of upbringing, they were both adopted by a top sage of their respective custodian organisations, but Sethos has lived in the desert all his life while Cyno was raised in the rainforest, and Cyno isn't afraid to rib and criticise his adoptive father Cyrus and [[spoiler:disregards the latter's attempts to perform a Heroic Sacrifice for him]] while Sethos is extremely respectful towards his grandfather, abiding by his wishes to see them fulfilled in some capacity [[spoiler:before he passes]] even when he had his own reservations.

* HappilyAdopted: His conversation with Lisa in the 3.5 Windblume event has him reveal that he was adopted by their shared mentor Professor Cyrus, and Lisa even refers to him as Cyrus' "son-slash-student". Cyno is grateful to Professor Cyrus for not treating him like a test subject when he was brought into the Akademiya unlike what had been expected of him and for giving him the opportunity to become the man he is today.

* IdenticalGrandson: {{Implied|Trope}}. [[spoiler:The recording of the testament of Kasala, the last priest of King Deshret, shows that he looked almost exactly like Cyno, who zones out for a moment after the recording ends and has to be prompted to leave with the others.

* LikeFatherLikeSon: Cyrus's influence on Cyno as his adoptive father is evident not only in their similar hairstyles but also the same brand of humor and tendency to explain jokes.



* NotSoAboveItAll:
** Despite the intimidating, no-nonsense attitude he gives off most of the time, Cyno does know how and when to relax. He likes cracking ([[CannotTellAJoke terribly unfunny]]) jokes and is an avid fan of Genius Invokation TCG, which he plays in his downtime from his duties with the matra. He is also fond of role-play and will rope his friends into joining him with their own roles.
** His Serenitea Pot lines reveal that he actually invokes this trope, as he realized his "ultra-serious" behavior was stressing out his fellow Matra, so he started telling jokes to balance out his image.
** Tighnari tells that if Cyno gets too insistent with his jokes, it's a sign that he is comfortable among the group. He even repeats a joke five times to Albedo.
** In Alhaitham's trailer, he is seen relaxing over some Genius Invokation TCG with Tighnari and Kaveh at a tavern and is casually talking with them about Alhaitham's combat skills.

** In his Story Quest Act 2, Cyno barely remembers to crack a pun for the Traveler and Paimon because he is already preoccupied with a case. He only gets to make his puns and propose a card game when he is camping with his friends.

They are both Egyptian-themed characters wearing {{Stripperiffic}} clothing who debuted in the same wish banners, are TheDreaded protectors of their field, canonically wield the Staff of the Scarlet Sands, have fathers (adoptive father in Cyno's case) that are Akademiya scholars, and are known to have links to divinity from the desert.

** To Kaveh. Both are light-haired and red-eyed seniors to a DeadpanSnarker Dendro vision holder named after a historical Arab scientist who wear dark green and have similarly green and red/orange two-toned eyes, but Kaveh has a strained relationship with Alhaitham while Cyno's relationship with Tighnari is mostly harmonious, save for Tighnari's lack of tolerance for Cyno's joke-telling. Furthermore, within the two pairs, Kaveh's colourful clothing and occupation as an independent architect contrasts with Alhaitham as the junior with a simple green and black colour scheme and position as Scribe in the Akademiya, while Tighnari is the junior with a more colourful outfit who insists on working outside of the Akademiya in contrast to Cyno's predominantly purple and black outfit and position as General Mahamatra.

* MysteriousPast: Cyno's life before becoming the Akademiya's General Mahamatra is a mystery that is implied to be linked to his in-game affiliation with the Temple of Silence, an organization, which as of writing there is scarce information about. What is known about the Temple positions it as holding more authority than the Akademiya, with a report found in the Valley of Dahri stating that it ordered all Khaenri'ahn machines to be sealed, as well as an in-universe theory that Faruzan's disappearance was due to the Temple imprisoning her for discovering a forbidden secret relating to King Deshret. Furthermore, the Akademiya has racist policies towards desert folk, with only exceptional talents such as Setaria being admitted, but somehow Cyno was able to gain admission despite not being particularly academic (a message on the Akademiya Public Message Board complains that he is not a renowned researcher), and Candace's voice line about him implies that he is not from Aaru Village. The 2023 Windblume event clarifies that he was adopted by Professor Cyrus as a child after the Akademiya took him in to be experimented on, but still leaves no hints about the specifics of his origins before his adoption.
** There is also the matter of the "divine spirit" that he calls upon to enter the Pactsworn Pathclearer state, which he does not elaborate further than saying that he can utilize its powers due to his natural constitution as well as "a deal (he) willingly made in the past." The conversation he has with Lisa in the 2023 Windblume event implies that the spirit is linked to the powers of a historical priest from the desert called Hermanubis, and Lisa compares him with Collei in that they share similar negative experiences of hosting divine powers in their bodies.
** The recording from Kasala, the last priest of King Deshret, [[spoiler:reveal that Cyno resembles the former greatly, hinting at an unknown bloodline that he was previously unaware about]].
** His Vision story states that in-universe, there are many theories within the Akademiya regarding how Cyno received his Vision, some of which suggest that Cyno has relations with King Deshret or a high-ranking religious authority from the desert, though the mundane truth is that he got it while reading up on the six cardinal sins of the Akademiya.

* MysteriousPast: Prior to the release of Cyno's second story quest, his life before becoming the Akademiya's General Mahamatra is a mystery that is implied to be linked to Mahamatra, the specific details behind his in-game affiliation association with the Temple of Silence, an organization, which as of writing there is scarce information about. What is known about and the Temple positions it as holding more authority than purpose of the Akademiya, with a report found in organisation was not elaborated upon beyond the Valley of Dahri stating fact that it ordered all Khaenri'ahn machines to be sealed, as well as an in-universe theory that Faruzan's disappearance was due to the Temple imprisoning her for discovering a forbidden secret relating to "divine spirit" of King Deshret.

* TheAllegedBoss: [[spoiler: At the conclusion of his and Sethos' duel and the death of Bamoun, Cyno, as the current holder of the most Ba Fragments, becomes the new leader of the Temple of Silence. However, since he would otherwise be too busy with his duties as General Mahamatra to properly run the temple, he uses his newfound authority to simply put Sethos in charge.]]


Added DiffLines:

* AwesomenessByAnalysis: In his second Character Quest, Cyno solves the {{Blackmail}} case against Cyrus, which at first seems like it'll be the quest's focus, absurdly quickly. He noticed the culprit following them into the House of Deana and pretends to fall for the RedHerring they planted about writing the threat letter at a café, noticed the victorious smirk he flashed when Aarav left to survey them, before immediately confronting him and pointing out all of his NervousTics. Paimon and Cyrus are surprised at how quickly the whole thing was resolved.


Added DiffLines:

* GameplayAndStorySegregation: [[spoiler: His second Story Quest ends with him being granted another fragment of Hermanbius, which would imply he's received greater power than he did before. Despite this, his gameplay isn't changed to be any more powerful than it was before to reflect this.]]

Cyno deals his brand of justice in the form of relentless strikes that hit hard where it hurts. His Elemental Skill, ''Secret Rite: Chasmic Soulfarer'', is a simple but swift Electro-elemental lunge, while his Elemental Burst, ''Sacred Rite: Wolf's Swiftness'', puts him in the "Pactsworn Pathclearer" state, which imbues his regular attacks with an Electro effect that cannot be overridden with reactions, endows him with heightened Elemental Mastery and resistance to interruption and Electro-Charged damage, and, more importantly, changes his Skill into ''Mortuary Rite'', which deals wide-ranging Electro damage and extends the duration of the state.[[note]]When fully upgraded, his normal attacks can now periodically boost his Electro Damage, as well as enjoy a speed boost whenever he triggers his Burst; the Pathsworn Pathclearer state gains the ability to restore his allies' Energy whenever he triggers Electro-related reaction, as well as periodically trigger the Endseer state, where using his enhanced Skill at the right time triggers the "Judication" effect, which further increases its power and allows it to fire three Duststalker Bolts, as well as extend the speed boost to his normal attacks; and either triggering his Burst or using his enhanced Skill can now build up stacks of Day of the Jackal, which are consumed to augment normal attacks with Duststalker Bolts.[[/note]]

He momentarily breaks character when he starts getting serious with Lisa about his past and his affection for Collei and Tighnari, only to be reminded by Lisa that he is supposed to be "Cyno the Adventurer".

* DarkAndTroubledPast: His conversation with Lisa in the Knights of Favonius Library after Act 2 of the 3.5 Windblume event has Lisa compare him with Collei, in that he was once in a similar situation where a divine power brought him "great suffering". He then reveals that the higher-ups in the Akademiya had taken him in to be experimented on, though thankfully he was adopted and cared for by a professor in Spantamad and given the chance to become the person he is today.
* DeadlyLunge: In its base form, ''Secret Rite: Chasmic Soulfarer'' is a swift dash attack. While Pactsworn Pathclearer is active, it turns into the wide-ranging ''Mortuary Rite''.

* DorkKnight: Cyno's [[ConsummateProfessional no-nonsense attitude]] as General Mahamatra belies his geeky side off the clock, particularly evident in the 2023 Windblume event. He loves telling lame puns, role-plays with Tighnari whenever they're on a trip, and later admits that his main reason to travel to Mondstadt, aside from looking after Collei, is to get the chance to meet "Calx"/Albedo and commission a special card holder for his Genius Invokation TCG deck.

* GatheringSteam: As a Character Card in Genius Invokation TCG, this is Cyno's gimmick. At the end of each Round, he gains one level of Indwelling, while his Elemental Burst adds two levels in addition to dealing 4 damage. At level 2, his Physical attacks become Electro elemental, and at level 4 he gains a formidable +2 damage to all attacks. Once it hits 6, however, it plummets back down to 2.

Using ''Mortuary Rite'' during the 1.4 seconds the eye appears triggers the Judication effect, which increases its damage potency by 35% and allows him to fire three Duststalker Bolts that each deal Electro damage equivalent to Cyno's Attack stat.

In Chapter III, Act IV, Candace suspects that the reason the Akademiya is one step ahead of the Traveler's group is because there's a mole in Aaru Village who's supplying information about the Traveler's next move to the sages. The mole turns out to be Cyno, albeit unwillingly since he has long defected from the Akademiya by that point, but Alhaitham explains that the sages are still using Cyno's connection to the Akasha to predict his every move, and by extension, the Traveler's due to association.

* MysteriousPast: Cyno's life before becoming the Akademiya's General Mahamatra is a mystery that is implied to be linked to his in-game affiliation with the Temple of Silence, an organization, which as of version 3.5, there is scarce information about. What is known about the Temple of Silence positions it as holding more authority than the Akademiya, with a report found in the Valley of Dahri stating that the Temple of Silence ordered all Khaenri'ahn machines to be sealed, as well as an in-universe theory that Faruzan's disappearance was due to the Temple of Silence imprisoning her for discovering a forbidden secret relating to King Deshret. Furthermore, the Akademiya has racist policies towards desert folk, with only exceptional talents such as Setaria being admitted, but somehow Cyno was able to gain admission despite not being particularly academic (a message on the Akademiya Public Message Board complains that he is not a renowned researcher), and Candace's voice line about him implies that he is not from Aaru Village. The 3.5 Windblume event clarifies that he was adopted by Professor Cyrus as a child after the Akademiya took him in to be experimented on, but still leaves no hints about the specifics of his origins before his adoption.
** There is also the matter of the "divine spirit" that he calls upon to enter the "Pactsworn Pathclearer" state, which he does not elaborate further than saying that he can utilize its powers due to his natural constitution as well as "a deal (he) willingly made in the past." The conversation he has with Lisa in the 3.5 Windblume event implies that the spirit is linked to the powers of a historical priest from the desert called Hermanubis, and Lisa compares him with Collei in that they share similar negative experiences of hosting divine powers in their bodies.

Cyno's relentless pursuit of justice is reflected in his ferocious combat style that prioritizes precise, hard-hitting strikes. His Elemental Skill, ''Secret Rite: Chasmic Soulfarer'', is a simple but swift Electro-elemental lunge, while his Elemental Burst, ''Sacred Rite: Wolf's Swiftness'', causes him to enter a state of "Pactsworn Pathclearer," wherein all his regular attacks become imbued with an Electro effect that cannot be overridden, endows him with heightened Elemental Mastery and resistance to interruption and Electro-Charged damage, and, more importantly, changes ''Secret Rite: Chasmic Soulfarer'' into ''Mortuary Rite'' which deals wide-ranging Electro damage and extends the duration of the state.\\
\\
As Cyno grows ever more determined to punish those who threaten the sanctity of wisdom, the Pactsworn Pathclearer state gains the ability to periodically trigger the "Endseer" state, wherein using ''Mortuary Rite'' at the right time triggers the "Judication" effect, which further increases its damage potency and allows it to fire three "Duststalker Bolts" that deal Electro damage equivalent to Cyno's Attack stat, in addition to a boost to normal attacks under this state and Duststalker Bolts by a fraction of his Elemental Mastery stat. Once Cyno finds the courage to stand up to injustice even at the highest levels of the Akademiya, Cyno gains a temporary boost to the speed of his normal attacks after triggering ''Sacred Rite: Wolf's Swiftness'', with an opportunity to refresh its duration whenever Judication is also triggered; his normal attacks can now temporarily boost his Electro Damage Bonus; and the Pactsworn Pathclearer state gains the ability to restore his allies' Energy whenever he triggers certain Electro-related reactions, in addition to building up stacks of "Day of the Jackal" through ''Mortuary Rite'' (or triggering the Burst), which are then consumed to augment normal attacks with Duststalker Bolts.\\

Cyno can only be obtained when the ''Twilight Arbiter'' Character Event Wish is active.
