Background
Cypress was born in 2252. Although the Treeminders would love to renounce violence and weaponry, they aren't naive: Cypress is one of the main armed guardians of Oasis. He is generally found patrolling the entrance to the Oasis Caverns. Cypress is 25 years old and used to be a wasteland adventurer. He is extremely loyal to Tree Father Birch, believing Oasis to be a holy place and Harold a god.

Daily schedule
He can be normally found hanging out around the gate to the caves.

Quests
Oasis: He gives one the key to enter the caves below Oasis. If the player character chooses to add Birch's sap to Harold's heart, Cypress gives the player character a missile launcher and two missiles.

Behind the scenes
Cypress is the common name for Cupressaceae, a family of trees. All of the human residents in Oasis have horticultural names.
