Shaundi and Playa retort by holding Josh Birk at gunpoint and demanding that STAG withdraws from Steelport immediately. Once STAG has surrounded the area, Cyrus arrives via Condor and orders the Saints to give up and surrender themselves. ĭetermined to get Birk back before Monica Hughes chews him out, Cyrus and his troops track down and confront Shaundi and Playa on a helipad at the Saints HQ. An order he ultimately fails to follow as Viola and Playa succeed in kidnapping Birk soon after. Monica Hughes refuses, and orders Cyrus to ensure Josh Birk's safety, or else. Before the conversation comes to an end, Cyrus requests that Monica Hughes gives him permission to use the Daedalus straight away, so that he can bring STAG's mission to a quick and decisive end. Ĭyrus is next seen (with Kia) having a teleconference with Monica Hughes, expressing some frustration over her decision to use Nyte Blayde as the official mascot of STAG for publicity purposes, citing that ' shock and awe' wins wars not ' hearts and minds' as she believes. Cyrus also makes a physical appearance at the end of the mission, giving a press conference about STAG's mission, and the effects it could have on Steelport's citizens aboard the aircraft carrier Thermopylae. His voice can be heard briefly as he gives orders to Kia and her unit.

If it wasn't for the fact that Senator Monica Hughes was overseeing and directing STAG's operations on behalf of the US Government, Cyrus and Kia would be free to run loose upon Steelport, and would likely level most of the city in their efforts to wipe out the gangs.įollowing Senator Monica Hughes' unanimous approval from the United States Senate to execute the 'STAG Initiative' upon the city of Steelport, Cyrus Temple and his troops make their grand and destructive entrance into the city. Personality-wise, Cyrus Temple is a cold and ruthless man who takes the nature of his missions way too seriously, and has little regard for human life or property (similar to his chief lieutenant Kia). Therefore, it's not evidently clear why he was selected to direct STAG. Under normal military circumstances (unless serving in a high-ranking position such as general or admiral), someone his age would most likely be retired from active duty or service. Age-wise, he is way past his prime, appearing to be in his late 50s or early 60s. He is of average height and weight, and has short white hair.

As the man in charge of an elite paramilitary police force whose mission is to eradicate all traces of gang violence in the city of Steelport, he has a lot to bear on his shoulders.Ĭyrus always appears dressed in protective body armor, but with no helmet, and unlike the rest of STAG, his armor is colored dark green and black instead of white and black. Cyrus is the leader of STAG, which is short for ' Special Tactical Anti-Gang Unit' and is one of the main antagonists in the game alongside Killbane.
