By John Moore
John is a life-long friend of Dr Kreizler and knows Cyrus as Kreizler's valet. He's a tad nervous around him but he does respect him and appreciates his hard work during the course of their investigations.
The Alienist, 37:
Like most of Kreizler's employees, Cyrus was a former patient, one who made me more than a little nervous, despite his apparently controlled manner and appearance.
By Stevie Taggert
Stevie and Cyrus work together at Dr Kreizler's house and as a result, they are good friends.
The Angel of Darkness, 12:
I felt my body tense the way it always did and still does when I hear the sound of a door at night; and then, listening, I made out one heavy, strong set of footsteps on the blue-and-green Persian carpet of the stairway. I relaxed: Cyrus's gait was as recognizable as the deep breathing and gentle humming that always accompanied it. I fell back onto my bed and held my book at arm's length above me, knowing that my friend would soon poke his broad black head in to check on me and waiting for him to do so.
The Angel of Darkness, 742:
Cyrus's and my friendship, well, that's always been one of the rocks of my life.
