{{translation|'''Kiryl'''|クリフト|Kurifuto}} is a playable character in {{Dragon Quest IV}}. He is an apprentice [[Priest]] in the castle of [[Zamoksva]], and a close friend and retainer of Tsarevna [[Alena]]. When the latter escapes from the confines of her room to explore the world, he elects to accompany her along with the court magician [[Borya]] in {{DQ4 Chapter 2}}.

He has gone on to make regular appearances in the ''[[Itadaki Street (series)|Itadaki Street]]'' series and is one of the thirteen playable characters in {{Dragon Quest Heroes}}, as well as returning in {{Dragon Quest Heroes II}}. Kiryl also appears as a special hero character in {{DQTact}}.

==Appearance and personality==
Kiryl wears a green and white Kalimavkion resembling the traditional hat of a priest, along with a green overcoat and a white long-sleeved undershirt. He carries a long and narrow sword on his back, and keeps a muted orange scarf around his neck. From the [[Nintendo DS]] version onward, the cross on Kiryl's hat has been altered to a more generic shield emblem in order to avoid any resemblance to real world religious imagery. The same emblem appears on his belt as a buckle and also appears on [[Alena]] and [[Borya]]'s outfits, as well.

Like many of the other characters, his appearance in the ''Heroes'' series of games has been embellished slightly. He now wears metal gauntlets over a pair of black gloves and greaves over his boots. His overcoat has more buttons on the front and there is ornate blue and gold designs near the hem. He also carries a spear on his back, which is his weapon of choice. Kiryl has gone on to use spears in other spinoffs, such as ''Tact''.

He is very loyal to Tsarevna [[Alena]], as evidenced by how he immediately rushes after her when she escapes. It is also made apparent that he has a crush on the princess as well. Aside from his not-so-subtle remarks regarding his feelings for Alena (which somehow always elude her), signs include him keeping a drawing of her hidden in his room. Beyond his relationship with Alena, Kiryl is a very studious and dedicated young man with a deep sense of faith; he has been training for some time to take over as the resident priest of [[Zamoksva]] and his room is filled with religious texts. As a priest, Kiryl can sometimes sense the presence of holy power when visiting certain places. He disapproves of vices such as gambling and becomes uneasy when visiting [[Laissez Fayre]] at nighttime due to its seedy reputation. Kiryl does not partake in drinking since he is a priest, though he admits that he was a teetotaller even before he became a man of the cloth.

Starting with the localisation of the DS remake, Kiryl now speaks with a Slavic dialect. The remakes also revealed that he is scared of heights if you use the [[Party Chat]] in certain areas, most notably [[El Forado]].

==Appearances==
==={{DQ4}}===
{{spoiler|start}}
{{DQ4 Chapter 2}} begins with [[Alena]] begging her father, the Tsar of [[Zamoksva]], to let her explore the world, since strong fighters are needed more and more in their troubled times, with the [[Nadiria|Underworld]] creeping out of dormancy. However, he refuses, saying that with monsters showing increasing aggression, it's simply too dangerous to let her leave the safety of the castle. [[Alena]] goes back to her room but, within a few minutes, has been overcome with frustration and escapes the castle.

Kiryl and [[Borya]], her retainers, give chase; they're resigned to not being able to make her stay put, but if she's going to leave, they can't allow her to travel alone. The three set out and soon come to a [[Taborov|small village]] being terrorized by a [[Master Kung|local monster]] continually demanding young girls as a sacrifice. [[Alena]] immediately heads to the local [[church]] to offer herself as the next sacrifice, but she has no intention of dying; as soon as the demon and minions shows its face, she, Kiryl and [[Borya]] spring into action and take it out, saving the village.

[[Alena]] and her companions are not seen again until {{DQ4 Chapter 5}}, when Kiryl has fallen under a dangerous fever and is bedridden in [[Mintos]]. Alena and a band of three mercenaries set out to the reported location of the [[Feverfew#Feverfew root|Feverfew root]] to try & recover some to cure Kiryl, but fails. However, the {{Hero 4}} succeeds, and upon learning of their [[Chosen Ones|destiny]] the three immediately join the party for the remainder of the game. Some time later, they return to [[Zamoksva]], finding the cause of its troubles to be the demon [[Balzack|Baalzack]], whom they kill in retribution and for the greater good.

====Spells====
Kiryl corresponds to the [[Priest]] vocation from ''Dragon Quest III'', and as such he learns strong healing and defensive spells. His [[Multiheal]] and [[Kazing]] makes him the party's best healer for the most of the game, though he does miss out on learning both the [[Woosh]] spells and [[Insulatle]] that are learned by [[Meena]] instead. He has average max HP and Luck, while his Strength is below average. Both his Agility and his Wisdom begin to increase steadily as his level rises.

Kiryl does have access to some swords, spears, and armour, though his selection is quite limited especially compared to both the {{Hero 4}} and [[Ragnar]]. He is able to equip most wands and robes suited for spellcasters. Later in the game, he is able to use all of the pieces of the liquid metal equipment if the player so chooses. One of his most powerful weapons is the [[Miracle sword]].

In the NES version, Cristo is infamous for his poorly-programmed AI, which would continuously cast the [[Whack|Beat]] and [[Thwack|Defeat]] spells above all others, even when healing is necessary and the enemy is immune to instant death spells. While this problem was eliminated since the remakes permit manual control, it has become a running gag related to the character, such as his special appearance in {{DQMBR}}.

====Infamous AI====
Kiryl is infamous in the Famicom and NES versions of ''Dragon Quest IV'' for continuously casting Whack and Thwack during boss battles, wasting his MP and time when he should be keeping the party alive. The reason for this is how the [[artificial intelligence]] is programmed in the NES version: it considers instant-death to be "damage" and instead of fully comprehending a monsters' resistances and vulnerabilities at the start of battle as in later titles, characters "learn" these aspects as the battle continues. Characters only have a {{fraction|1|4}} chance to fully understand what will work against a given foe by the third turn of battle, meaning it can take several turns for the knowledge to stick. This issue is further compounded by the fact that the game reads each mode switch or transformation an enemy undertakes as an entirely new foe for AI processing, which is made even worse by the fact that the final boss has no less than seven stages. 

Kiryl's AI was deliberately altered for the Sony PlayStation remake of the game. The AI's learning phase was abolished as had been the series standard since 1995 with {{Dragon Quest VI}}, but Kiryl was specifically programmed to favour casting Whack and Thwack over other offensive actions as a homage to the reputation he built up through word of mouth and 4koma gags in the eleven years since the game's original release. According to the game's programming, Kiryl has a 1 in 4 chance of casting Whack or Thwack on a completely random enemy, regardless of the enemy's resistance or the current situation. Adding to this unreliability is that Kiryl prioritises healing Alena over other characters even if her HP loss is comparatively minor, owing to the priest's one-sided crush on the oblivious Tsarevna.

Criticism of this AI lead to developer [[Arte Piazza]] ironing out the wrinkles for the Nintendo DS version, where Kiryl is no longer programmed to favor instant-death or prioritise healing Alena. These changes have been retained for the 2014 Android/iOS port.

==={{DQ6}}===
Kiryl is present in the near-future version of [[Reaper's Peak]], trying to prevent [[Alena]] from climbing down the well to confront [[Nokturnus]].

==={{DQ9}}===
On September 3, 2010, Kiryl began appearing as a special guest at the [[Quester's Rest]] in [[Stornway]]. This could be downloaded through the [[DQVC]] using Nintendo's Wi-Fi channel when it was still available. When spoken to, he will give the {{Hero 9}} different pieces of his outfit is certain conditions are fulfilled.
*[[Kiryl's clothes]] - Recieved when talking to him.
*[[Kiryl's kamilavka]] - Recieved when it is the player's birthday.
*[[Kiryl's trousers]] - Recieved after the inn is fully expanded.
*[[Kiryl's boots]] - Recieved when the Hero is a [[Priest]].
The player will receive the [[Accolade]] '''Most Holiest Priest''' if the Hero wears all of the parts of Kiryl's costume.

===''[[Dragon Quest & Final Fantasy in Itadaki Street Special]]''===
Along with [[Alena]], [[Ragnar]] and {{Torneko}}, Kiryl appears as a playable character in ''Itadaki Street Special''.

==={{DQMBRII}}===
Kiryl can be summoned to perform a special attack by scanning the [[Sage's Stone]] special card. After leaping from the [[wagon]], Kiryl tries and fails to cast [[Thwack]] multiple times, before finally stomping on the text windows in disgust and (successfully) unleashing a magnified version of [[Kathwack]] in the form of angry spirits. Though these ghosts cannot inflict instant death, they deal colossal damage to all enemies.

==={{DQH}}===
Kiryl appears alongside his Tsarevna, meeting up with [[Luceus]] and [[Aurora]] as a rampaging [[Gigantes]] is attacking the city of Arba. The two of them are the first of the otherworldly characters that the heroes meet up with and are pursuing a thief, who turns out to be [[Robbin' 'Ood]].

In game, Kiryl uses {{Spear}}s as his weapon of choice. While his attacks are on the slower side, he is able to attack from a wider range and mix various sidesteps & backsteps to evade attacks while keeping the offensive. He also is able to support the party with Priest spells like [[Kabuff]] and [[Whack]], though does not have access to healing spells.

==={{DQH2}}===
Kiryl reappears in ''Dragon Quest Heroes 2'' as the final set of otherworldly travelers the party encounters, alongside [[Alena]]. He and Alena are introduced at the Great Divide, during the war against the monster kings of Al-Khazam, Kadava, and Klor. He and Alena jump in between the armies and rush to battle against the monsters much to the bewilderment of both sides, until [[Torneko]], [[Meena]], and [[Maya]] recognise the two and rush off to reunite with their old friends. After the war, Alena explains her reasons for ending up in this world, with Kiryl adding that he joined because he will always follow the Tsarevna wherever she goes and both lend their aide to the party’s cause.

In the game, Kiryl is given the title ‘The Advanced Lancer’ and he once again uses [[Spear (weapon type)|Spears]] as his weapon of choice. Kiryl retains most of his moves from the previous game, but now has access to healing magic in the form of the [[Reheal]] spell line and additional attacks to help his damage output and range in the form of Chain Lightning and Spear of Influence.

==Name Origin==
Kiryl is the Slavic derivative of the Greek name Cyril and an alternative spelling of the Russian name Kirill (Кирилл). It means "lord".<ref>[https://www.behindthename.com/name/kiryl Kiryl on Behind the Name]</ref>His original English name Cristo is the Italian, Spanish, and Portuguese form of the name Christo, itself a short form of the male names Christopher or Christian.

==Trivia==
*In the Japanese games, Kiryl's title is shinkan (神官), a Shinto priest or a person working as a government official at a place of worship, such as a shrine. It can also be used to refer to a priest from other religions, such as Christianity.
*Kiryl was played by Japanese actor Takamitsu Fukuchi in the ''[[Dragon Quest Live Spectacle Tour]]'' that ran from July 22nd, 2016 to August 31st, 2016. He wields a spear much like in the ''Heroes'' games. Fukuchi is mainly known for his stage roles, as well as some voice acting.
*Kiryl and Alena make a cameo appearance in episode 41 of the 1989 anime ''[[Dragon Quest: Abel Yuusha]]''. The two can be seen fleeing with other villagers from [[Aliahan]] as it is being attacked by a dragon, although Kiryl is only shown from the shoulders down.
