Yuri is teleported away along with the other members of the Ashen Wolves, but tells Byleth to save him and the others. Once Aelfric was rescued however, he revealed his true motives, and Yuri also appeared to have sided with him. When Aelfric was captured after retrieving the Chalice, Yuri accompanied the others to rescue him. They are able to drive the invading mercenaries out, thanks to a trap set up by Yuri to lure all of the mercenaries to them. Balthus and the others inform the group of their peoples' plight, and Byleth agrees to help them. Upon meeting them, the Abyssians challenge the arrivals, but are promptly defeated. Yuri believes that they do not intend to attack with their meager numbers, but decides to meet them as they are not knights, but are still working with the Church. They encounter an Abyssian, who flees to Yuri and informs him of their presence. He is seen planning with Balthus when Byleth and their students discover a hole in the surface leading into the Abyss. These events notably did not happen in the continuity of the main game, as Aelfric had been exiled from the church well before Yuri ended up in Abyss, his life there apparently being voluntary with no mention of any crime against the church.įirst appearing in Chapter 1, Yuri and the other Abyssians have been dealing with an unusual amount of surface contact, all of whom have been aggressive. In actuality, Archbishop Rhea tasked Yuri with keeping an eye on Aelfric, due to his recent suspicious behavior. Due to this incident, Yuri was slated for execution but Aelfric argued that he should be pardoned and sent to Abyss. When he and other knights were tasked with killing people from a gang, Yuri recognized them as old friends from before, and killed his fellow knights during an ensuing argument over their task. In 1178, he was enrolled in Garreg Mach's Officers Academy but was expelled due to a scandal. Bernadetta was not informed of the assassination attempt, mistakenly believing that she was responsible for his death. This brief moment of hesitation allowed for Count Varley to burst in and catch him in the act, where he had his men severely beat him up, though he survived. Once enough trust had been formed, Yuri snuck into her room to kill her but could not bring himself to do so, which he claimed was his biggest mistake at the time. She considered him to be her first friend and they played around the gardens, and he considered her to be the first one he had to babysit frequently. He infiltrated House Varley by taking on a job as an assistant gardener, and believing that he could only accomplish the job by obtaining her trust, he befriended Bernadetta. Although he tells Byleth his true name in their S-support, it is never directly revealed to the player.Īt some point, Yuri was hired as an assassin by an unknown sponsor to kill Count Varley's young daughter, Bernadetta, as she possessed the Crest of Indech. Though he still kept his true name, he hid it out of necessity. It is revealed through his supports with Byleth that it was the name he was given when he was adopted by Count Rowe. In the year 1174, he is noticed by Count Rowe and taken as an adoptive son, where he took the name Yuri. This chain of events inspired him to obtain his compassionate resolve. Some time later, he fell deathly ill to a plague which wiped almost his entire town, but was saved and healed by the same elderly man, who passed away some time later due to natural causes.
As a token of gratitude, he taught him how to read and write, the memory of which he kept within a notebook. His mother was a prostitute, and the identity of his father is unknown.Īt some point during his childhood, his family hosted and nursed an elderly man back to health. He was born in the year 1160, in a poor town in Western Faerghus. Underneath his crude speech, it can be vaguely seen that he holds a strong desire to protect the residents of Abyss. He was a student of the Officers Academy, but was expelled due to circumstances, and moved to live in the Abyss. 7 Choose Your Legends Placement History.
