Overview

Yuri (Kor. 유리) was a modified human who worked within the Union. He formally served under the 12th Elder as an assistant for his chief scientist, Dr. Aris, but was actually a spy for Dr. Crombel. He belonged to the Assassination Squad serving Dr. Crombel.

Appearance[]

Yuri had dark skin, and wore a grey suit and glasses which covered his golden-yellow eyes. He had short blond hair and a very neat and organised appearance. He always maintained a smiling countenance, therefore causing others to have trouble deciphering what he was thinking.

Personality[]

As Dr. Aris' personal assistant, Yuri was shown to be a very organised, prompt, and punctual man, speaking in a polite tone, and who was completely loyal to her. He handled all her political affairs and paperwork, even collecting 'souvenirs' on her behalf that specifically fit her taste.

However, this image and 'loyalty' was later revealed to be false with the revelation that his true allegiance lied with Dr. Crombel, on whose behalf he frequently spied for. His true personality was manipulative, but he frequently hid this behind a fake smile and polite tone in order to fool people.

Yuri's habit of correcting glasses

Yuri was also shown to be very intelligent as he correctly deduced that Takeo and Tao had not only survived, but had probably joined forces with Frankenstein as well[1]. He had a habit of frequently correcting the position of his glasses while talking. Furthermore, Yuri appeared to have connections with many members of the Union. This could be because of his position as Dr. Aris' assistant, which may have necessitated interactions with them, or his position as a spy, but it is unknown.

After meeting Seira in the Elders' and Nobles' official meeting, he had developed an one-sided infatuation with her. Such an infatuation, however, does not make him any more friendly or less murderous.

Background[]

According to Tao's information, Yuri was known to be Dr. Aris' loyal personal assistant who accompanied her everywhere and was responsible for all the paperwork and communications. He was also the one usually sent to retrieve 'souvenirs' (i.e. human subjects), on which Dr. Aris was likely to experiment, however, this was revealed to be a lie as his true allegiance lied with Dr. Crombel.

Plot Overview[]

Yuri first appeared with Dr. Aris to investigate the annihilation of the DA-5. Trusted by Aris, he accompanied her everywhere and fulfilled her orders to the letter[2].
When Aris couldn't find any lead as to who killed DA-5, she asked Yuri to find a specimen for her. Yuri set out to find someone suitable and stumbled across Frankenstein. He used his powers to hypnotise him (though it didn't have any effect on Frankenstein who only acted to find info) and brought him to Aris. However, Raizel's text gave away that Frankenstein had been acting; quite a shock to Yuri as his methods had never failed before. A fight broke out and Yuri found his opponent to be stronger than he had thought. Dr. Aris took over the fight using her nano suit but collapsed as soon as she indulged in taking the refined version of D. Yuri observed her failure and displayed a bit of his power to get away with her body revealing that he'd been holding back his powers the entire time[3].
He took the body of Aris to Dr. Crombel, whom he originally served and related all that had happened to him. Under Crombel's order, Yuri kept shut on the events and didn't even let the Union know what had happened[4].

This time, Yuri came as a guide with Cerberus who had come to investigate Crombel's activities and the crater created during Frankenstein and Rael's fight[5]. He assisted them in coordinating with the KSA, helping them to find their way in the area well-known to him. Meanwhile, he himself kept on investigating individually and confirmed his presumption on the existence of Tao. He assumed that Frankenstein could be behind the incident. However, he hid his findings from the Cerberus members.
His actual mission was to frame the 12th Elder. So, he called him in to cause havoc on the KSA in order to ruin the Elder's stand within the Union. He informed the remaining Cerberus members about the Elder's dispatch so they hurried to join and stop the battles started by their teammates in different parts of the city.
Another part of his mission was to bring a Cerberus sample to Crombel, which he accomplished as he made his sudden assault on Yuizi. He attacked her from behind, preventing her from doing anything, and gathered the intended sample[6]. He observed Tao and Takeo overpower Lutai and then arrived at his side after the duo leaves. He rejoiced at being able to collect another sample from a Cerberus member after informing Lutai about his true mission and intentions; albeit killing him before procuring his body.

Yuri was called over to South Korea once again to serve as a guide to the 10th and 11th Elders[7]. He was partnered up with Bonerre who was also a spy for Crombel. Together they spectated the meeting between the Elders and the Lukedonian representatives - Seira and Regis. He was awed at Seira's presence, beauty and power, instantly falling for her.
Later, Yuri caught Tao and Takeo planting misleading evidence to frame Crombel and subdued both with the help of Bonerre. He asked Bonerre to hide their bodies while he went for a separate mission[8].
Yuri fulfilled an additional duty of contacting Mark, another of his teammates who had infiltrated Frankenstein's place as M-24. He brought Mark back to his senses and hastened him to finish his work, which Mark did. Afterwards, Yuri returned to guard the tied up captives. He complained about his own state of being always stacked up with work, receiving no vacations, and such to space out. He expressed his growing feelings for Seira which the audience duo (Tao and Takeo) quickly dismissed. At this, Yuri got furious and beat them up to satisfy himself[9].
After Raizel and others annihilated the Elders, Bonerre was forced to lead Frankenstein and Seira to where Tao, Takeo were held captive. Yuri saw them coming and fled ahead. With Bonerre dead and the captives freed, Yuri reported to Crombel while Mark finished his mission and returned. Under Crombel's orders, Yuri hid himself from the Union and others for some time[10].
The Elder incident resulted in the Union declaring war against Lukedonia and three more Elders coming to Korea to start it. Yuri was once again called by Dr. Crombel and assigned to the task of collecting remaining data from Frankenstein's lab. He was joined by Mark and Kalvin this time[11]. He had been worrying that the opponents would be alert but Mark arranged a plan to make the data be brought to them. It involved the children to lure M-21 to come with the data.
The bait trick worked and the RK answered their summon, coming to the Ye Ran grounds. However, according to Tao's plan, the RK managed to get the children out and faced Yuri and his teammates. Fights broke out at the school premises and Yuri was engaged with fighting Takeo while his teammates took on Regis and M-21. With an almost evenly-matched fight, Kalvin tricked the RK into taking his poison. Yuri commented on the amazing noble powers when seeing Regis withstanding the poison and mentioned Seira. Just then Rael arrived, fuming at the modified humans for uttering Seira's name. Yuri was caught off guard by the rage of Rael who was further manipulated by Tao against Yuri. The assassins decided to retreat after the loss of Kalvin[12].

Yuri was employed to escort Muzaka during the ex-werewolf Lord's visit to the human world where Raizel was living. He also planted fake traces to misguide the werewolves who were sent by the 2nd Elder to assassinate Muzaka[13].
Much later on, Yuri asked Mark for help in order to track down Dr. Aris who had went out without permission[14].

Yuri and Mark found Aris in South Korea where she had become fascinated with Shinwoo[15]. Yuri asked Aris to leave but she refused so he pacified her by letting her take Shinwoo. However, M-21 interfered and after their battle, Yuri's hopes of an easy victory were shattered when M-21 easily defeated him, Aris and Mark in a matter of minutes. They were saved by the arrival of Muzaka and the four of them headed back to Crombel's hideout[16].
Later, after Crombel had battled the 1st Elder, there were five explosions in Seoul. M-21 rushed to one of the scenes and battled Yuri[17]. It ended inconclusively. It was then revealed when Yuri was back with Crombel that he would die soon due to getting extensively modified which gave him power equivalent to an Elder's. He gave info about Tao to Crombel, and was shown to cause havoc in other parts of the world[18]. He also overlooked the satellites and informed Crombel once they were prepared[19].
When Frankenstein was fighting outside the hideout, Yuri observed with Crombel and Aris. He continued observing and joined with Aris and Mark after waking the latter up[20]. He battled M-21 due to his vendetta against him, and was defeated, leading to his death[21].

Relationships[]

  • Seira J. Loyard: Yuri met and fell in love with Seira[22] due to her poise, beauty, and immense power. He thought to himself that he may truly fall for her and described her as an entrancing female. When he had subdued Takeo[23], he asked him if he knew "the beautiful Ms. Loyard." He admitted that he couldn't stop thinking about her, meaning that he was pining for her. However, it was completely one-sided. Later, he seemed to completely forget about his crush.

  • 12th Elder: As he worked under Dr. Aris, he was acquainted with him.
  • Assassination Squad: They were his colleagues and he seemed to act casually with them.
  • Cerberus: He guided them in South Korea and they knew of him due to Aris also being under the 12th Elder. Yuizi complimented his skills, so they seemed to have respect for him, even if they also thought he was weaker than them.
  • Dr. Aris: In the beginning he appeared to be loyal to her but this was an act. Later he acted more casually with her, probably because she was not his superior anymore.
  • Dr. Crombel: He was part of the assassination squad that served Crombel. He was often shown reporting to Crombel and acted politely with him. Despite this, Crombel seemed to know him well and could tell what he was feeling like when he asked if Yuri had let off his anger.
  • DA-5: He was the main communication between them and Dr. Aris. They seemed to be respectful of him, though Takeo and Tao became his enemies after they left the Union.
  • M-21: Throughout he viewed M-21 as inferior and a simple test subject. As such, when he was later beaten by him he felt deep humiliation and resentment, causing him to seek revenge. He went to the extent of getting enhancements despite it shortening his life immensely.
  • Muar: Yuri guided him and Rostere when they went to Seoul.
  • Rostere: Yuri guided him and Muar when they went to Seoul.

  • N/A

  • Muzaka: Since Crombel worked with Muzaka, Yuri was acquainted with him though there was no deep relationship between them.

Powers & Abilities[]

Yuri possessed some powerful abilities, yet it is unknown how he achieved such power. Frankenstein  suggested that he was hiding his power and that he was actually even stronger than Dr. Aris . He was able to slice buildings in half with ease, was fast enough to disappear within seconds, and even creates a force-field to protect himself and Dr. Aris from Frankenstein's attacks. Yuri also seemed to be good at escaping from opponents as he was able to get away from Frankenstein whilst carrying Dr. Aris with him.

Aura Manipulation[]

He could shoot beams of greenish-white energy from the tip of his fingers by channelling his aura with great precision. These beams had the sheer power to blow through dozens of large buildings, vaporising anything in their path. He shot Yuizi, a Cerberus member, from behind, inflicting a wound that also stopped her from regenerating[24]. Yuri also demonstrated the ability to create force fields.

Gas Manipulation[]

He was shown to be able to release and manipulate some kind of gas from his palms. According to Frankenstein, Yuri utilised it for attacks and mind control.

Dr. Crombel's Enhancements[]

Similar to Aris, Yuri willingly allowed Crombel to modify him further and grant him further enhancements to give him more power, with it being implied that his strength was now comparable to that of a Union Elder, similar to Aris.

However, like with Aris, the modifications done to him had several flaws despite increasing his power. Aris stated that Yuri’s body would likely suffer several painful side effects from the modifications such as his lifespan being shorter. These side effects where stated to likely kill Yuri regardless of how strong he became.

Additionally, despite his enhancements by Crombel, it was shown that he still was not strong enough to beat M-21.
