Cyrano

Cyrano is a character in Oda's one-shot Monsters and was a swordsman from Ryuma's past.

Appearance
He has a long, thin mustache that curves at the end. He also has a long sword which he carries on his belt. He also wears a cowboy hat over his side-combed brown hair.

Personality
At first, Cyrano seems like a man full of dignity. He was friendly, kind, and helpful. He also lived for honor and was ready to sacrifice himself to protect others.

Later, this was all proven to be a facade. In reality, Cyrano was an unscrupulous criminal. Manipulative and immoral, he would murder others if it serves his self-interest, and even sacrifice his own comrades to achieve his goals. Along with his partner, D.R., they both act as honorable people in order to earn trust of others before they do their criminal activities.

Abilities and Powers
Cyrano was noted to be a first-class swordsman, and the fact that Ryuma was able to slay him in one simple strike made D.R. question in fear what happened. That aside, Cyrano was also quite manipulative, as he pretended to rescue Flare in order to build some prestige for himself, so he could later rob a town without being suspected.

History
Many years ago, Cyrano killed his subordinates and stole the Dragon Horn from them. He and his partner D.R. used it to attack and rob Flare's hometown. He killed her father while she was unconscious and decided to use her to earn prestige for his own name by claiming he tried to rescue the townspeople but could only save her.

Seven years later, Ryuma had arrived. Cyrano and D.R. decided to use Ryuma as a decoy and scapegoat while they attack the village. D.R. used a fake Dragon Horn to scare the town's civilians away and they planned to loot the town. While the rest of the town evacuated, Ryuma and Flare stayed behind. They witnessed Cyrano's true colors and learned the true story behind Flare's past tragedy.

Ryuma then confronted Cyrano, who mocked him. Ryuma dodged Cyrano's strike and killed him in one stroke.
