History
Kyrie, having lost his parents when he was younger, was cared for by the villagers of his hometown Barni. The mayor, Ursa Rex, a bear Feral and one of the six beastlords, always cared for Kyrie and made sure he had a place where he was safe and belonged. Whilst Ursa Rex's kindness and benevolance to the humans under his command allowed the humans of Barni to live happy lives, Kyrie as a result is eager to accept Ferals as the masters of the human race and never questions it.

At the beginning of Sands of Destruction, Kyrie is working at the pub belonging to his Uncle Agni, helping out as a chef, collecting vegetables and even fighting through caves to pick wild mushrooms for the tavern's menus. When he returns from one errand, Kyrie is told he's been summoned by Ursa Rex after talking with Lupus Rex.

Wanted posters with his name on them have started dropping from the sky associating him with an uprising, and although the picture looks nothing like him, Ursa Rex insists Kyrie go with Lupus Rex's men to clear up this misunderstanding and clear his name. Kyrie, who agrees this is a misunderstanding goes to leave with the guards when a voice suddenly tells him he needs to run away and escape.

Kyrie, confused, eventually listens to the voice and runs away, which only makes him appear more guilty. Eventually he is cornered by armed guards when the voice starts talking to him again. Kyrie is suddenly surrounded by a tornado of sand, as he loses control of his body. Blasts of light fly out from his body, reducing anyone they touch to sand as he cries out for help. Ursa Rex is the last person Kyrie see's before losing conciousness.

When he awakens, the entire village of Barni has been destroyed. Everyone has been reduced to sand. Kyrie is promptly captured by the current Lupus Rex's son, Rajiv and the former Lupus Rex's son Naja. He is placed in a jailcell for his erasure of Barni and murder of Ursa Rex.

However a young woman, Morte, better known as the Beast Slayer by her enemies busts Kyrie out of jail and is thrilled to finally meet him. Morte wants to destroy the world, and Kyrie is the one who is capable of making that dream a reality. She drags the protesting Kyrie to his freedom, and with a little help from her old friend Agan, they manage to escape into the Sandsea together.

Morte expresses her disappointment that Kyrie isn't exactly the kind of world ender she was hoping for, to which Kyrie apologises. Agan offers them a lift on his boat, but when his crew start talking about how Morte brings bad luck, she takes Kyrie, steals a pair of sandboats and escapes into the sandsea below...until she manages to break it due to overstraining the engine. She forces Kyrie onto a nearby ship where they stow away onto the pleasure cruiser Zifnir. After fighting their way to the ships decks, they are greeted by Felis Rex, the cat beastlord who greets them and welcomes them onboard, but Morte demands the ship be turned over to her. Felis Rex apologises but he cannot allow that to happen, and calls for his associate, a feral mercenary called Taupy to deal with them.

Taupy makes quick work of Kyrie, taking him as hostage to prevent Morte from trying to kill Felis Rex. Kyrie is surprised that Taupy can talk as he looks like a teddy bear and refers to him as a 'stuffed animal'. Taupy warns him he has killed men for less than that, and Kyrie apologises. Morte claims she doesn't care what happens to Kyrie, but Taupy states that if that was the case, she and he would already be fighting. Morte, who needs Kyrie to destroy the world, stands down begrudgingly.

Felis Rex is very impressed with everyone's talents, and hires Morte and Kyrie to run an errand for him, even offering to pay them for their troubles. Morte agrees to it, planning to run away, but Felis sends Taupy with the two of them much to her anger. As the trio leave, Kyrie apologises to Taupy about referring to him as a stuffed animal, realising he may have hurt his feelings. Taupy laughs, calling Kyrie an interesting kid.

Trivia

 * Kyrie's love of cooking is shown through some of his earlier skills in which he uses various broths and dishes to heal his teammates, whilst failed cooking experiments are used to attack and poison the enemies. He also uses a kitchen knife as his main weapon.
 * Due to Ursa Rex being a fan of humans, Kyrie believes humans and ferals can live together. He is unaware that Ursa Rex's view is the minority on this matter.
 * Kyrie states he is a fan of cats. Incidentally he gets on decently well with Felis Rex, and in the anime adaption when disgusing himself as a feral he wears cat ears.
