Yuri is very mysterious and does not like for anyone to talk or ask about his past. He is also somewhat of an idealist, always looking for a way to tell people that "their are better times ahead", but at the same time he is always telling people off about their ideals and their beliefs.

Under his jacket, Yuri wears an old red traditional Russian cossack army unifrom. Under his clothes and all over his body are multiple scars and cuts from his training as a teenager.

Personality
Yuri has a complex personality, at one point he could be laughing,joking around,and having fun. While other times he could put you in your place or tell you off. Most of the time, Yuri is telling people or his crew about his ideals and or questioning other peoples ideals.

Yuri is also very analytical and always thinks things through, always thinking before he does things.

Devil fruit

After finding out he ate this devil fruit, Turi went into exile to train and hone his powers on to return with his devil fruit powers prefected.

Analytical Powers
Yuri is a tactical genius and is a prodigy when it comes to figuring out his opponents weakness or leading an army to victory, even though being out numbered.

Past
Not much is known about Yuri's childhood. The only thing that is known about his past is that he was abandoned as a child and ended up growing up on the streets. As he became older and more understanding, Yuri found out of his peoples suffering and made a promise that he would liberate his people from the tyranny they live under. While walking around in the market Yuri finds a fruit on one of the stores selling fruits. It was an odd looking fruit and the second he saw it, yuri knew it was a devil fruit. Knowing that this was the fastest way to gain power, yuri lunged at the fruit and ate it whole, much to the anger of the storee owner. After Yuri ran away he found his new powers from the devil fruit and quickly ran off to challenge and defeat the king. While arriving at the castle gates, yuri was met with 2 royal guards. After constantly telling them to move out of his way and to open the gates, yuri challenged both of them to a fight. After a long and hard fought battle, the young yuri was defeated. While lying on the ground, one of the guards came up to him and put 3 cuts across his face with a knife, telling him that he is engraving his victory in yuris face and that he should remember this defeat for the rest of his life. After the fight yuri ran off into the forest never to be seen or heard from again.

Liberation
After 10 years, yuri came back a strong and powerful man with a distinguished look in his eye. While coming back into the main city, the two guards that beat him and put the scars on his face 10 years ago noticed yuri in the crowd and confronted him. After a couple of insults from the guards yuri challenged them to a fight. One of the guards attacked him head on but was disintegrated instantly but a wave of Yuris arm. With a confused demenoir the other guard that gave yuri his scars was ready to fight but was brought down quickly by the fast yuri. While on the ground the guard pleaded for his life but yuri smashes his skull by stomping on his head. After the fight Yuri looked at the scared and suprised people who had come from all over to watch, and started to yell inspiring words at them and giving a speech to rise up and take up arms to overthrow the corrupt king. As the people started to cheer, Yuri unsheathed his sword and pointed at the castle where the king lived and ordered the mob to take up arms and attack. As the news spread, of the attack on the castle, more and more people began to also take up arms and bring down the king. The battle started to rage on at the castle walls where bullets and arrows were being shot from both sides. At one point yuri rode on a horse at the castle gates, jumped off his horse,and broke the gates down with a double legged kick. Once in the castle square, yuri started to kill off guards left and right wit his shashka and used his DF powers to make people disintegrate. As the battle progressed in into the castle, yuri climbed up the main castle tower and into the kings room. As the kings started to cry and beg for his life, the bloody and angry yuri cut off the kings head and put it on the tip of his sword showing it to everyone fighting and yelling "ITS OVER". People rejoiced and yuri was deemed a hero to everyone. But even he knew that word would get out about this attack and told people that he could not stay here. As yuri packed up and began to sail off, a group of former guards and fighters asked him if they could join him. As they pleaded, yuri finally agreed and established the Cossack Pirates. As yuri and his new crew sailed off, they were met by a marine battleship. As the battle ship neared, yuri ordered his new crew to begin fire and attack the marines. After a hard fought battle, the marines gave up. Yuri asked who was the highest ranking officer on the ship. As the officer was uncovered, yuri told him to tell his superiors what had happened here on his island and that he has "arrived".
