Mortality
Brandon was the eldest child of John and Robyn Skorra, and 8 years older than his sister Lee. John had taught his kids
how to hunt and take down wild animals since they lived on a Reservation in Texas, USA. Lee was trained to use rifles
whereas Brandon preferred the stealth approach and able to chase after animals that Lee was able to wound.
His hunting method was exceptional, although at times as he crawled along the ground to stay out of lineofsight would
encounter the local wildlife headon and come facetoface with various rattlesnakes. They were the only things that
ever scared him but his reflexes were able to avoid him from being struck. However on one occasion he wasn't fast
enough.
Lee never went anywhere alone without Brandon by her side, but this time she was the one there for her brother as
John got both kids and drove to the nearest hospital before it was too late. Brandon was gravely ill because the
Rattlesnake involved delivered quite a bite, injecting a fair amount of venom. Because they were both homeschooled,
Lee was allowed to stay with Brandon in the hospital without fear of missing out on the schoolwork that Robyn gave
her daily.
After 11 days, Brandon full recovered just in time for Halloween. That night Lee's treat stash was forcibly taken by one
of the bullies who went to the school in town and threw them down an embankment. Brandon was furious that
somebody upset his sister, lunging at the bully, breaking the kids nose. Pouring out blood, the bully ran off as Brandon
went down the hill to get Lee's treats...
Arcadia
With blood on his hands, Brandon crawled into the bushes to find the treats, but they weren't there as he was no longer
in the real world but in the Hedge. He could hear the rattling of snakes draw closer and just as fear and anxiety
overwhelmed him, he was dragged away into Arcadia by the pet snakes owned by the Fae named Cassius.
There in the Menagerie, Brandon was forced to feed the snakes everyday or be punished by slow bodily stretching on
the torture rack. Because of the fear of snakes and the memory of being bitten, the snakefeeding had to be done fast
and quite carefully. Over time, Brandon's skin had begun to fall off in flakes, new 'skin' would be underneath but in the
form of scales and the shape of his eyes and pupils changed to accommodate the light. After almost 14 years what was
Brandon did not exist anymore, turning into the exact thing he feared the most, adopting the name Cyrus.
Escape
After witnessing Jonathan Cross, Neko Nyan, Sesha and another escape the Zoo, Cyrus saw that leaving this place
was possible afterall. The time for it wasn't right though. His opportunity came when a guard delivered the food that was
to be stored for later feeding sessions. A splitsecond decision came to mind and he threw the entire lot of food into the
snake pit, sending them into a mass feeding frenzy. Cyrus caught one of the snakes by the neck under his foot and
ripped out both of its fangs to keep as souvenirs. As the guard tried to calm the situation down Cyrus saw this as the
perfect opportunity, stabbing him in the neck with the newly acquired fangs. Cyrus then ran for his life out of the Zoo
gates and into the Hedge.
Recent Events
The vetting process taught Cyrus not to be so trusting with other changelings as a cigarette was put in his eye during
the interrogation. It has since healed and he joined the First Response Motley
