He is an apprentice [[Priest]] in the castle of [[Zamoksva]], and a close friend and retainer of Tsarevna [[Alena]].

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 {{DQH}}, as well as returning in {{DQH2}}. Kiryl also appears as a special hero character in {{DQTact}}.

==Appearance and personality==
==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 onwards, 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.

Starting with the localization 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]].

{{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 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.

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 {{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 root]] to try & recover some to cure Kiryl, but fails. However, The {{Hero 4}} 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 [[Balzack|Baalzack]], whom they kill in retribution and for the greater good.

====A.I. Agony====
====A.I. Agony====
Kiryl is infamous in the original 8-bit Version of ''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 A.I. is programmed in the {{NES}} Version: 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. It will take up to three turns to fully understand what will work against a given foe for any character regardless of their wisdom stat. This issue is further compounded by the fact that the game reads each mode switch or transformation an enemy undertakes as an entirely new for A.I. processing, and made even worse by the fact that the final boss has no less than seven "forms".

Thankfully this bad behavior was sorted out in the {{PSX}} remake and all subsequent versions, wherein the A.I. logic processing has been improved to give characters a full understanding of foes at the beginning of battle.

Just as in ''Monster Battle Road'', Kiryl's [[Coup de Grâce]] is trying and failing multiple times to cast Thwack before casting Kathwack. He 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 offworld characters that the heroes meet up with and are pursuing a thief, who turns out to be [[Robbin' 'Ood]]. In order to differentiate him from other playable characters, Kiryl uses [[spear]]s as his weapon of choice in the game, being able to attacks such as [[Multithrust]]. Although he does not possess any healing magic in the first game, he is able to cast [[Kabuff]] and [[Whack]]. In ''Heroes II'', Kiryl and Alena are among the few returning characters that take part in the story mode, as well. He also gains healing magic in the form of [[Reheal]].

Kiryl debuted at the beginning of the game, appearing on a three-star rarity card exclusive for [[Priest]] characters, casting [[Thwack]]. He eventually appeared on another card exclusive for [[Alena]] in the seventh card pack, "Strange Tale of Light and Darkness".
