Appearance and Personality

Kiryl wears the traditional hat of a priest character.

He is very loyal to Tsarevna Alena, as evidenced by how he immediately rushes after her when she escapes. It is also noted that he has a crush on the princess as well.

In the remake version of the game, it is revealed that he is scared heights if you use the party chat in certain areas.

Story

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 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 small village being terrorized by a 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 shows its face, she, Kiryl and Broya spring into action and take it out, saving the village.

Alena and her companions are not seen again until 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 root to try & recover some to cure Kiryl, but fails. However, the Hero of Dragon Quest IV) succeeds, and upon learning of their 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 Baalzack, whom they kill in retribution and for the greater good.

In Battle

Kiryl corresponds to the priest vocation. He learns strong healing and defensive spells, but is fairly limited in the weapons and armor he can equip.

Cristo mostly learns healing and support spells, but he also learns a few spells which can instantly slay one or multiple enemies. He can also equip some of the most powerful weapons and armor in the game including the Liquid metal sword and Liquid metal armour.
