So what if Aladdin wished a genie free and then became a genie. Peter Gadiot and the OUaTiW creators confirmed, at ComicCon, that Cyrus is an original character. He is exclusive to the series.... similar to Emma Swan, on OUaT.

That said.... it is very possible, that Cyrus is Aladdin's son. Perhaps, when Aladdin freed his genie, his son was taken in the genie's place.... as all magic comes with a price.
