“ | Ever since I was a kid, I've lived my life by one rule-that I'd only play my hand if I was guaranteed victory. I've gotten this far by using my cunning in any way necessary-lying, cheating, even killing when there was no other way... | ” | — Yuri |

Analysis
This character analysis section may not be accurate to every player's experience. |
Yuri is an interesting unit as he was seemingly tailor made to function well in any sword related class, except maybe the Hero. He has strengths in swords, reason and faith, as well as a budding talent in Bows that grants him the ever useful Deadeye combat art. Thus is is recommend he completes masters Noble and Myrmidon classes and then slots into Thief. Afterwards he will do well as an Assassin, Trickster, Dancer, or Mortal Savant as all of them play to his strengths and offer unique play styles and utility, especially as the latter three let him leverage his decent reason and faith spell-lists (of course this list also includes the Swordmaster, said class doesn't offer anything unique compared to these classes, bar it's +10 critical modifier, however). The Trickster will offer him unmatched utility with the Foul Play combat art, which can only be used in this class. The Mortal Savant will boost his offensive output with both swords and dark magic thanks to the appropriate faire skills. Meanwhile the Dancer allows him to let other units move a second time. While still being able to spellcast and heal on the side on turns where dancing isn't needed. This class also makes the most use of his personal relic, the Fetters of Dromi as it grants him +1 Movement and Canto, both of which are endlessly useful for a Dancer. It should be noted however, that both Dancer and Mortal Savant severely undercut his most outstanding feature: his extraordinary speed growth. Yuri is the fastest unit in the game, able to even outspeed enemies even on maddening mode. As an Assassin he will enjoy a colossal speed growth of 85%, while also having access to swordfaire, thus granting him impeccable offensive capabilities. These are only impeded by the inherent nature of swords not having a ranged option outside of the Levin Sword. Yuri does well enough with a Levin Sword though, and can otherwise rely on Bows for long distance combat, though Assassin lacks Bowfaire, so his damage will be lower compared to his output with swords.
Yuri's main drawbacks lie in his weaknesses in Axes, Lancs, Flying and, Riding. Preventing him to attaining useful skills and classes. Desperation would be amazing with his speed growths, Wrath would combo nicely with the Mercenary's Vantage skill and the Wyvern Rider and Wyvern Lord classes would be a great boon to his HP and Strength growths.
In terms of skills, both Death Blow and Fiendish Blow would bolster his offences, depending on which attacking type the player prefers him to use. As he only requires a D+ rank to have decent odds of passing the Brigand certification exam, he should have no trouble acquiring the skill despite his weakness. Furthermore, if the player does not intend to make another unit their dancer, Yuri should take on the White Heron Cup just for the Sword Avoid +20 skill.
Personality and character
Despite his crude language, Yuri is devoted to protecting the people of Abyss.

Yuri, Underground Lord & Bernadetta, Eternal Loner
Bernadetta’s struggle with anxiety made it difficult for her to take over as the head of House Varley. She became so overwhelmed that when Yuri chanced to visit her domain, she literally grabbed hold of his arm and refused to let go. Baffling as it was for Yuri at the time, this peculiar state of affairs eventually led to marriage. The commonfolk were initially perplexed, but over the years they became grateful for Count Varley’s surprising husband. His presence kept her calm and allowed her to deal with her people more frequently and easily. As a result, her talent for governance blossomed and her rule was widely celebrated.
Yuri, Underground Lord & Dorothea, Mystical Songtress
A new opera company was born of the postwar rebuilding period. This troupe, headed up by a former songstress, was comprised of hand-picked talent from all walks of life. Though it began humbly, over the years it grew to rival even the Mittelfrank Opera Company in its greatness. The most popular production in its repertoire was a tale of a disillusioned songstress making a comeback with the help of her ambitious lover. Through that story, the names of Yuri and Dorothea live on to this very day.
Yuri, Underground Lord & Balthus, King of Grappling
After the war, Yuri returned to the underworld. Some time after assuming control of the illicit markets, he happened upon Balthus, who had become so down on his luck that he had collapsed in an alley. Yuri helped Balthus back to his feet and offered him work as a bodyguard. While Balthus first accepted just to get by, he came to enjoy the lifestyle so much that he remained at Yuri's side for the rest of his days. The underworld kingpin and the Indomitable King of Grappling made such an impression on the world that their names were feared for centuries.
Yuri, Underground Lord & Hapi, Freed Spirit
Yuri accompanied Hapi to the village where she was born. The surprise nature of the visit, combined with a local custom of massive celebrations for family reunions, made things awkward at first. The party did not get started until nightfall, but Hapi was able to reunite with her parents, and under that starry sky, lasting bonds were forged. In fact, it is said that Yuri, a complete stranger, made such an impression that the welcome party lasted for seven days and nights before he was finally permitted to leave. Years later, they returned for another visit-this time as a couple. The village turned out en masse for the wedding, held under those same stars.
Yuri, Underground Lord & Constance, Sorcery Incarnate
After the war, Constance devoted herself to her magical research. Her unorthodox methods allowed her to make great strides, which earned her acclaim and eventually enabled her to restore her noble house. Afterward, almost as if to spite her detractors, she married Yuri. The pair made a happy, if unconventional, couple, as the husband frequently ventured away for months on end. In the long years of their marriage, however, Constance laughed off any concerns as she known to say Yuri always knew to find his way home. Many decades later, he passed away in bed alongside his beloved wife.
Yuri, Underground Lord & Ingrid, Stalwart Knight (Azure Moon)
Yuri disappeared into the underworld of the western Kingdom and faded away into obscurity. The only account of him after that comes from a Kingdom knight’s journal, uncovered many decades later, which tells of Yuri’s efforts to win the king’s support for an orphanage and medical clinic to be built in the slums of the castle town. It is believed that the journal belonged to Ingrid, who had declined to rule House Galatea in order to serve House Blaiddyd as a knight. According to a local rumor, Ingrid eventually retired from knighthood to become the owner of an inn. There, it is said she and the man she wrote about cooked dishes loved by rich and poor alike.
Yuri, Underground Lord & Ingrid, Stalwart Knight (Other Routes)
When Galatea territory was seized, Ingrid argued strongly for the preservation of its borders. Her request was granted and she was appointed to rule. Though, since she had previously abandoned her noble house, she was not well accepted by the people. Despite this, she found that the commonfolk carried out her policies with unexpected enthusiam and efficiency. She soon discovered that it was Yuri who had convinced them of her wisdom. The two were reunited and eventually married, and under their stewardship, Galatea territory flourished, It is said that, after a busy day of governance, Ingrid yearned for nothing more than a home-cooked meal prepared by her husband.
