Cyno: talks about 10 characters, talked about by 15 characters. In the story, Cyno has a “Defined relationship” with Lisa, Albedo, Collei and 9 others. Every tie comes with the original line from the game, and the voice lines play right on the page.
- LisaAbout Lisa
Of course I know about Lisa, we once both studied under the same sage. As General Mahamatra, I've seen many tragedies befall those seeking knowledge too assiduously, so it's easy for me to understand her decision.
- ColleiAbout Collei
I once helped Collei seal away the god's remains in her body, but the process was an unthinkably painful one. To many, enduring that kind of pain would be a prospect more terrifying than death, so it was very admirable that she was able to persevere through it all.
- TighnariAbout Tighnari: Knowledge
Tighnari is different from other scholars I've met. He has the same wholehearted dedication to knowledge, but he will never cross the most important boundaries. Some scholars see themselves as gods within their own laboratories, but not Tighnari — he has always shown the same respect for every form of life. I've heard that he even declined a position in the Akademiya, and I support his decision.
- TighnariAbout Tighnari: Jokes
Tighnari once told me not to tell jokes at the dinner table, insisting that my jokes weren't funny at all. I did not share his opinion, so I told three of my best jokes in a row, and explained the premise of each in great detail. By the time I was done talking, my food was cold.
- NilouAbout Nilou
I can sense her enthusiasm and passion for dancing — it has become an integral part of her being. I hope that she will always be able to use the art she loves to bring happiness to other people.
- NahidaAbout Nahida
Commenting on a god might be overstepping my position a little... But when I was working with her, I personally witnessed her wisdom, courage, and determination. Compared with those sages who constantly undermined and criticized her without a shred of evidence, I think I can provide a more reliable assessment: She is an exceptional deity who is worthy of everyone's respect.
- FaruzanAbout Faruzan
I've carefully browsed through the case files regarding Faruzan's disappearance. At the time, I thought maybe she had been conducting some kind of dangerous research, but once I met her in person, I completely abandoned that idea. Though it might be a little hard for me to get along with her, she mostly reminds me of a kindly and chatty parent. She is considerate of others, and would never do anything imprudent.
- AlhaithamAbout Alhaitham
I don't really like people who are too smart. They think they can control everything, and constantly venture to the fringes of danger. But Alhaitham is one of the more reliable ones. In most cases, he is actually in control of things and has the ability to avert potential disaster.
- KavehAbout Kaveh
Tighnari and Collei never said it to my face, but they found Kaveh's personal anecdotes far more entertaining than the jokes I had prepared... I could see it on their faces. Hmm? What did I think about that? Well, I thought it was funny that they could laugh at such a situation.
- SethosAbout Sethos
Sethos has a strong sense of responsibility. I have the utmost respect for his skill as a warrior, and I admire his courage. He's also been a great help to me personally, and I'm sure that cooperation between the Akademiya and the Temple of Silence will go very smoothly with him leading the Temple.
Nevertheless, he does have one flaw — he doesn't play nearly enough Genius Invokation TCG for my liking. Every time I invite him to play, he's either busy with work, about to go out for a meal, or has existing plans with other friends... Excuses, all of them! Are we not his best friends in all of Sumeru City?
- Traveler & PaimonAbout Us: TCG Duel
Up for a game of Genius Invokation TCG? I'll show you the new deck I built.
- Traveler & PaimonAbout Us: The Present
The past cannot be changed, and the future cannot be foretold. As a result, I make sure to always cherish the here and now.
- LisaAbout Cyno
I've barely kept in touch with anyone from the Akademiya since leaving Sumeru, except for the occasional letters to my teachers out of basic courtesy. Fortunately, not every promising student turned out as lazy as I am... I heard that one of my juniors, Cyno, now leads quite the action-packed life.
- ColleiAbout Cyno
Um... I'd rather not talk about him, if that's okay? Oh, no — the General Mahamatra isn't a bad guy or anything. Matter of fact, I have him to thank for bringing me back from Mondstadt to Sumeru and finding me a safe place to stay. It's just that... whenever I'm reminded of the sealing process just before leaving Mondstadt... ooh... the back of my neck starts hurting again...
- TighnariAbout Cyno: General Mahamatra
You want to see Cyno...? Well, firstly, a word of caution: if he ever comes chasing you down for work-related reasons, prepare for the nightmare of a lifetime. Other than that, General Mahamatra is a high-ranking position, so it usually isn't easy to find him. But he does occasionally go to Gandharva Ville to see Collei. As much as he might want to stay unnoticed, he can't fool my ears.
- TighnariAbout Cyno: Good Question
After my adviser's rescue, I wrote him a letter to send my regards. To my surprise, he wrote back saying that someone had already given him my regards in person. He ended the letter with a question "The General Mahamatra said he hopes that the sages will enjoy 'a more tasteful reputation' thanks to the efforts of our Darshan. Whatever do you suppose he meant by 'a more tasteful reputation'?" ...It's a good question. I'd like to know, too.
- DoriAbout Cyno
You could say I know him. After all, I was the only merchant in all Sumeru who could acquire the full range of Genius Invokation TCG merch for him! Not bad, huh? I've gotta admit, it's pretty rare to see anyone from the Akademiya like him... independent and with a good head on his shoulders. Plus, he's never been one to haggle over prices.
- CandaceAbout Cyno
In the past, it was rare to see the Akademiya's General Mahamatra on this side of the Wall of Samiel, but recently he has been showing up here all the time. I believe that the Eremites have some truly terrifying stories to tell about him...
- NilouAbout Cyno
I don't really like interacting with people from the Akademiya because they don't view the arts too kindly. I often wonder what they do when they're bored... Huh, Cyno plays Genius Invokation TCG? I can't believe it...
- NahidaAbout Cyno: Jokes
His jokes are like buried treasure: gems hidden beneath the surface. They're a lot of fun. Hmm? Well, which part didn't you get? Okay, I can explain it for you.
- NahidaAbout Cyno: Duty
Not every General Mahamatra would take such a clear-cut and decisive stance when faced with a conflict between order and justice. He must know only too well that compromise is a path that leads to a dead end, so it's extremely fortunate for all of Sumeru that he's now been able to return to his rightful post.
- LaylaAbout Cyno
The General Mahamatra is really good at Genius Invokation TCG? Ooh, I wonder if... I mean, if I ever got the chance, maybe I could play a game with him. Card games like Genius Invokation TCG are always easier when you're good at mental math, so actually, I... I dunno, but... I might not necessarily lose to him.
- FaruzanAbout Cyno
Cyno's jokes are composed using modern words and language patterns, but I still struggle to decipher any hidden meaning from his grammar and prose... Huh? It's all just literal meanings and homophones? Really...? Then, those jokes don't have any substance at all...
- AlhaithamAbout Cyno
The hivemind case certainly added to the matra's workload, but my conscience is clear. The root cause of what ultimately transpired actually has nothing to do with me at all. I'm sure Cyno appreciates that, as he hasn't once approached me about the incident.
- DehyaAbout Cyno
The General Mahamatra? Doesn't suffer fools gladly, and certainly doesn't beat around the bush. Having seen the way he works, he gets a thumbs up from me.
- KavehAbout Cyno
Cyno can come across as cold and ruthless, but he's actually a very big-hearted guy. I still remember how shocked I was when Tighnari said he was gonna introduce me to his best friend, and then a couple of seconds later, an incredibly intimidating matra comes walking through the door... I honestly never expected to meet a matra who's so comfortable hanging out with scholars. Gotta say though, I can't stand his sense of humor. It really makes my skin crawl. If he ever invites you to a meal at Tighnari's place, make sure someone's bringing beer, because no one should have to endure Cyno's humor while sober.
- SethosAbout Cyno
Cyno is truly outstanding — absolutely a worthy heir to Henrmanubis's power. As General Mahamatra, he has the utmost reverence for knowledge and wisdom. If the Akademiya and the Temple of Silence do start working together again, I'll take comfort in the fact that he's there.
Oh yeah, and another great thing about Cyno: You know the way he talks? It's just... so funny.
- NeferAbout Cyno
You've got to hand it to Hermanubis — he's a good judge of character. He managed to recruited someone with a very solid work ethic to do his bidding. And the General Mahamatra certainly has his work cut out for him... the Akademiya breathing down his neck on the one hand, and a tireless "boss" watching his every move on the other... I honestly wonder how he ever manages to unwind.
- Traveler & PaimonAbout Cyno and Genius Invokation TCG...
Paimon: Cyno's super into that card game "Genius Invokation TCG," isn't he?
Paimon: Doesn't it seem kinda weird for the General Mahamatra to be into playing cards...?
Traveler: Well... not when you consider his hairstyle.
Paimon: Huh? What has his hairstyle got to do with it?
Traveler: You know, when you're playing a card game, the fancier your hairstyle, the more distracting it is for your opponent.
Traveler: "What's going on with this guy? How did he manage to shape his hair like that?"
Traveler: When your opponent's mind is consumed with thoughts like this, you'll quickly gain the upper hand.
Paimon: Hmm, really? Then we'd better think twice before playing against him...
Traveler: I don't know... I think I might just have an advantage over him.
Paimon: But you don't have a fancy hairstyle at all. And your clothes look pretty normal, too...
Traveler: But I do have Paimon.
Traveler: "What's up with her? And what's that pesky flying companion of hers up to?"
Traveler: As long as Paimon is floating by my side, Cyno's mind will be consumed with thoughts like this.
Traveler: I, on the other hand, would be completely unfazed by his hairstyle. So I'd be able to focus, and victory would be mine.
Paimon: Forget it! If you wanna play cards, go get a funny haircut!
