After returning from a mission to destroy a big pack of monsters from attacking a boondocks due to the increase of aer, Yuri starts a bar fight with a local club though gains the respect of the society leader. After Niren and Chastel Aiheap go to investigate the aer and Flynn to nourish a gathering in his place, Yuri and Hisca aid to quell another monster set on.

In the aftermath of this, Yuri, who is seen in his familiar blackness clothes from the game, leaves the knights with Repede, who at present has Niren'due south piping.

For the story'south start part, Yuri and his political party chase the cadre thief across the earth. Later on discovering that the thief in question, Dedecci, is linked to a much bigger operation by the Claret Alliance leader Barbos, one of the V Master Guilds, and the royal councilman and Capua Nor magistrate, Ragou, Yuri's group puts all of their efforts into foiling their scheme to control both the empire and the guilds. Forth the way, they detect the horrors that Ragou has committed confronting his own people, which include taxing them to impoverishing levels, kidnapping and killing citizens and children, and disposing of the corpses either by feeding them to monsters or selling them for coin. Following the defeat of Barbos, Ragou uses his standing in the council to reduce his charges. Unable to forgive Ragou, and knowing that the laws of the empire will never punish him, Yuri takes matters into his own hands and murders him, a secret that he keeps from the rest of the party for much of the game. Following this, Yuri marks his departure from the laws of the empire by announcing to Flynn that he volition start a guild, and with Karol Capel and Judith at his side they course Brave Vesperia, named subsequently the brightest star in the nighttime sky by Estelle.

During the story'southward second part, Yuri and his party disharmonism with Cumore, a captain of the imperial knights who has ambitions of becoming the Commandant. Cumore's crimes are soon revealed to be just as bad as Ragou's, and include forcing people to work in slave labor camps and sending innocent citizens, and even his ain soldiers, on a suicidal mission into the desert to search for Phaeroh. While the political party hopes that Flynn will be able to bring Cumore'south actions to an end, Raven off-handedly comments that the only cure for the stupidity for people such as Cumore is decease. This unintentionally inspires Yuri to strike again, chasing Cumore out to the edge of the boondocks, where Cumore falls into a sandpit.

Cumore begs Yuri for help, but his pleas fall on deafened ears and he slowly sinks to his death. Still, the event is witnessed by Flynn, and the ii become engaged in a heated argument. Flynn insists that Yuri'due south ways are wrong, telling him that his behavior is that "of a common criminal", while Yuri defends himself, stating that his deportment were necessary. At this point, Yuri has rejected the police entirely, stating that information technology is nothing more than than "the tools of whoever happens to hold all the chips", and leaves Flynn with the haunting message that he understands his actions entirely, and has chosen to muddied his easily in order to destroy the villains of the earth. When Yuri afterward realizes that Estelle was listening to everything, he asks her if she is afraid of him. While she knows that what he has done is confronting the constabulary, Estelle says that she understands Yuri'south reason and thinking, since his actions accept saved the lives of others who would have been victimized by Ragou and Cumore in the future and likewise states that if she e'er was to be taken down by him, she knows he would accept his reasons, as well.

Yuri's sins are eventually revealed to the party at Nordopolica, following the death of Belius by Flynn. When Flynn crosses paths with the party, insisting that they paw over Estelle and the Entelexeia'south apatheia, Yuri tells his friend that he is going down the same path as Ragou and Cumore, and that if he does non finish, he will take no selection merely to dispatch him as well. Karol is the virtually affected by this discovery.

Resolution

Following the revelation that Alexei Dinoia has been the mastermind behind Ragou, Cumore, and fifty-fifty Barbos, and the kidnapping of Estelle and abuse of her power equally a Child of the Full Moon, Yuri begins to realize that his actions accept solved nothing, and that all they have done is brand style for a monster even more twisted than either of his two victims. Resolved to put an end to Estelle's suffering, Yuri decides that his already dirtied easily are the but ones that accept the strength to free her. Still, he is stopped by his friends, who insist that Yuri's effort to bear the burden of defeating the monsters of the world all by himself will merely hurt him, and them, in the long run. Inspired by their dedication to him, Yuri agrees to travel with them to stop Estelle, but to find her nether the complete control of Alexei by the time they reach Zaphias, who brings forth the Enduring Shrine of Zaude. Realizing that at that place may be no other manner, Yuri prepares himself for the worst case scenario: his original plan of killing Estelle. Yet, his words eventually manage to bring Estelle out of her power-fueled trance and restore her to her normal self.

With Estelle back in the grouping, Yuri and his friends travel to Zaude and finish Alexei. After defeating Yeager, they face up the Commandant and they fight to cease him. Nevertheless, their efforts are in vain, and Alexei activates Zaude. To everyone's surprise, Zaude was actually a barrier blastia that prevented the Adephagos from destroying the world. After Alexei'due south death, Yuri is stabbed by Flynn's subordinate, Sodia, and he falls to the ocean below.

Yuri so wakes up in Zaphias, and he discovers that he was saved by Duke, who takes Dein Nomos back.

After getting the group back together, they help Rita and Estelle in converting the apatheia of the Entelexeia into spirits that can finish the Adephagos. Nevertheless, they learn from Sylph that Duke has lost his faith in humanity, and has decided to cede anybody's lives, including his own, to use the Tarqaron and destroy the Adephagos. Realizing that they volition need all of the blastia in the world to be converted into spirits, Yuri and the group call all of the world leaders and ask for their permission to become through with their program, which is canonical. During this fourth dimension, Yuri confronts Sodia about her actions and fights Flynn to resolve their differences once and for all.

To Yuri's surprise, Knuckles aids them past lending Dein Nomos and they successfully finish the Adephagos. Afterward, Yuri continues his journeys with his friends.

Appearance and Personality

Status image in Tales of Vesperia.

Yuri has long waist-length raven hair, which is depicted as purple in-game, and gray optics. He wears an outfit consisting of a blackness tunic that shows his breast, blackness trousers and grey boots as well as his bodhi blastia as a bracelet on his left arm. When he was in the Imperial Knights, Yuri wore the standard grunt uniform consisting of a bluish spandex suit, shoulder plates, gauntlets, and sabatons. Likewise, he wore his sword in a scabbard about his right leg, as opposed to him eventually carrying the scabbard, sword included, in his left hand.

Yuri comes across every bit sarcastic and cynical, possibly due to the way the nobility treated the people of the Lower Quarter. He seems to relish teasing others, especially Karol and Rita Mordio, although he does develop a strong bond of friendship with the erstwhile, becoming something of an older brother figure. Different many chief characters in the Tales series, Yuri has a more fully-formed personality due to his matured age. He is an emphatic young man who prefers to solve smaller problems from individuals rather than the larger, more political ones. It ultimately manifests in a willingness to save others, even if information technology means risking his life.

Yuri grew up in the Lower Quarter of Zaphias with Flynn. According to many of the residents at that place, Yuri and Flynn were the best of friends who shared everything, such as the beginning sword that they bought together. Growing up as a commoner caused Yuri to develop a dislike for the empire's dignity, due to their haughty nature towards anyone less fortunate and their tendency to plow a blind middle to suffering. Thus, throughout his take chances Yuri takes the side of normal, average people over nobility. What sets Yuri autonomously from many other protagonists in different games, particularly those in the Tales serial, is the fact that equally the second-oldest fellow member of the party and as the oldest male main protagonist, he already has some awareness and knowledge of the world around him.

While almost other protagonists grow upward and develop their ideals as they continue through their adventures, Yuri is quite comfortable with the person he is, already having an established mindset and personality that changes and develops very piffling over the class of the story. This manifests mostly as mocking quips directed at Boccos and Adecor during tutorials, but is likewise apparent during discussions about the nobles and their treatment of the lower classes. This also makes Yuri less prone to depression and hesitation. He is not afraid to have hard matters into his own easily, and throughout his travels comes to determine that taking the law into his ain hands is the only way to ensure that the villains of the world are punished. However, every bit shown by his conversation with Flynn in Mantaic, he is fully enlightened, and to some extent fifty-fifty worried, that in doing and so he risks condign a person that, in a sense, is simply as bad as those whom he despises.

Yuri claims to be an enemy of the Empire, as he hates their organisation and the corruption in the world. However, his real animosity is directed toward individuals who abuse their ability to injure others, and his opposition of the Empire mainly stems from the fact that many nobles, like Ragou or Cumore, will gladly torment the common people just because they can. Yuri also makes an enemy in Zagi, who sees him every bit a worthy opponent for making him bleed in their first battle. Yuri dislikes Zagi's bloodthirsty mental attitude, single-minded persistence, and tendency to challenge him to battle when the heroes have more than important things to do, such as chasing Ragou or hunting for Estelle. Yuri also comes into conflict with Duke Pantarei, although this is more than of an ideological conflict than a 18-carat animosity between them.

Fighting Style

With his left hand for using weapons, Yuri is capable of using both swords and axes in battle, though axes normally reduce his attack speed while providing more than damage. He uses his fists and feet in combination with his weapons, often punching the enemy with his gauntlets instead of using his main weapon. His attacks and artes range from stylish and flashy to brutal and powerful. His Vicious Arm is "Blazor Edge Abyssion", and the sword he is seen with in official art is "2nd Star", the sword received afterwards the battle with Estelle.

When compared to other swordsmen in the game, Yuri does non take as much technicality and he tends to do more tricks with his sword such equally flipping it around him and spinning it during attacks, something that ironically, puts him at odds with Flynn'southward nature. Despite wielding a katana as a master weapon, his sense in Japanese swordplay tends to be rare at best, as he often uses his weapon more alike to a stylish-clubbing tool. He has a good balance of speed and power spread across his artes, which brand up for his lack of existence able to employ magic. Much of his attacks also possess a wolf motif.
