Cyrus is a minor character depicted in flashbacks in Lost and Spaced. He is a markazian who served as the manager for Captain Qwark. Cyrus managed Qwark under the Unicop program until its cancellation, after which he vowed never to speak to Qwark again. However, he later encouraged Qwark to run for galactic president of the Polaris Galaxy, hoping for a cut of the potential earnings from Qwark's appearances.[1]
Months before the events of Lost and Spaced, Cyrus encountered Qwark while he was preparing to endorse Artemis Zogg for president. Using flattery, Cyrus referred to Zogg as an "old blarg sniffer" and urged Qwark to envision himself as presidential material. He convinced Qwark that he possessed the qualities of a leader: "noble, intelligent, and a man of the people"—terms Qwark himself had used to describe Zogg. Eventually, Cyrus persuaded Qwark to run for office. Qwark would go on to be elected president of Polaris.[1]
