Yuri Briar/Relationships

== Family ==
=== Yor Forger ===
Yor is Yuri's older sister. After both of their parents died at an early age, Yor was the one who raised Yuri during his childhood despite living in poverty. Because of this, he has developed a sister complex and will do anything to keep Yor safe, to the point of suspecting her husband of being an enemy spy. In addition, Yuri is very possessive of his sister, always wanting to spend time with her at every opportunity and getting irritated when someone else is around, usually Loid and Anya. He even keeps pictures of her in his workplace locker and framed around the walls of his apartment. Yor, who has been to Yuri's apartment, does not seem to mind this and sees Yuri's obsession as part of his eccentric behavior.
Despite his complex, Yuri genuinely holds a deep appreciation for Yor, as seeing her work bloody all for his sake in their youth motivated him to become a successful man, and he vowed to protect his last living relative. When Yor asks if he's taking care of himself, Yuri reassures her that he is not a child anymore and can take care of himself.
Yuri is unaware of Yor's secret job as an assassin. Likewise, he hides his job as a Secret Police officer from her, telling her that he works as a diplomat for the Foreign Ministry of Affairs.
=== Loid Forger ===
Loid is Yuri's brother-in-law. They have a very complicated relationship, as Yuri is jealous of Loid for being his sister's husband without being told, so he tends to act rudely towards him, even having a one-sided competition with him over Yor's affection. Although he has admitted that Loid is a handsome man with great skills and a good career, Yuri still thinks he is unworthy of being with Yor and would even go to such circumstances to hurt him if he ever found out that Loid harmed or did something bad to his sister.
While he has baselessly suspected him as a spy, Yuri is unaware of Loid's true identity as "Twilight." Already aware of the spy's existence, deeming him a "ringleader to destabilize the country," Yuri has his first encounter with Twilight during the assassination plot against Minister Brantz, in which Yuri was assigned to escort the minister. However, he realized too late that Twilight was disguised as Brantz as the spy drove off to do his own mission. This incident frustrated Yuri, and he swore to gain more knowledge: his power, to be able to catch him next time.
During the mission to secure agent Winston Wheeler, Yuri once again encounters Loid as Twilight. This time, Loid is impersonating him, which not only confuses and irritates Yuri but also makes him suspect that Twilight could be someone close to him. Yuri attempts to capture Twilight and fights him, but is defeated. To his surprise and confusion, Yuri's life is spared. When returning home to see Yor, Yuri notices Loid's apparent injury on his right arm (the same arm he shot Twilight) and begins to get more suspicious of the spy's true identity. He attempts to confirm this but finds no results and backs off, unaware that Loid had covered up the wound.
=== Anya Forger ===
Anya is Yuri's niece. Yuri first meets Anya in person when Yor calls him over to tutor the girl for her midterm exams. Neither of them has a good impression of the other due to Yuri's dislike of Loid, calling Anya "the spawn from Loid's previous marriage" in his thoughts, while Anya gets creeped out by Yuri's overly obsessive thoughts about his sister. Using Yuri's love for Yor, Anya is able to persuade him to tutor her seriously, and he eventually shares his motivation for studying when he was younger, teaching her that "knowledge is power." Although Yuri later stomps off in frustration when Anya fails to learn anything, the study session makes him realize that he needs more knowledge in order to keep his sister and country safe.
Yuri learns to tolerate her as he, along with Loid and Yor, tells Anya that lying is wrong, despite them all lying about themselves. Later, when he learns that Anya was among the hostages taken by the Red Circus, he rushes over to the Lieutenant with concern to confirm this. He initially obeys orders to not come, but ultimately refuses, knowing that losing the child would break his beloved sister's heart. Yuri helps find the other missing bus in the hopes of saving Anya, but while he does not directly save her and gets shot in the shoulder, his actions help culminate in Anya's rescue from the bus.
== State Security Service ==
=== SSS Boss ===
The Boss is the man who scouted and recruited Yuri to the SSS. While the exact reasons are unknown, the Boss says that he did it because he found Yuri "adorable, like a cute little puppy." Yuri appears to be close with the Boss, who has even invited him out for a steak dinner. This has earned Yuri the reputation as the Boss's "pet" among his peers. Yuri does not appear to be bothered by this title, either being unaware or willfully ignorant and continues his job with enthusiasm, even telling the Boss that he will one day capture Twilight, which the Boss seems to appreciate. After Yuri's fight with Twilight, the Boss praises him, claiming him to being the first-ever person to land a blow on the spy.
=== SSS Lieutenant ===
Yuri's superior officer in the SSS. He looks out for Yuri and urges him to take care of himself more, telling him to stop drinking and to be careful after hearing about him overworking and getting hit by trucks. He keeps Yuri in check to stop him from acting hastily and is aware of his sister complex, which he tells him to grow out of. After Yuri collapses while Yor is on a business trip, the Lieutenant helps him recover. Most times, Yuri will tell the Lieutenant he is fine after getting injured so he can continue working. 
During the Eden Academy bus hijackings by the Red Circus, Yuri is ordered by the Lieutenant not to come so as to not complicate the situation if Anya recognizes him. When Yuri insists on going, he is restrained to a pillar by the Lieutenant to keep him at HQ. After the mission to secure Winston Wheeler ends in a draw, Yuri talks to the Lieutenant about his frustrations and loss of confidence in himself after losing to Twilight. The Lieutenant is surprised Yuri is still stewing over it and assures him that his encounter with Twilight helped with the SSS's hunt for the elusive spy.
=== Chloe ===
Chloe is Yuri's junior in the SSS. Despite Yuri being her superior officer, Chloe is quite casual with him, as she was his upperclassman in college, where she was made aware of the behaviors that he still has in the present. Chloe knows of Yuri's sister complex and the traits that come with it, which she finds creepy. After learning the Briar siblings' history through Yuri, she suggests that if she were Yor, she would want him to find his own happiness, but Yuri ignores this as he is offended by the suggestion in the first place.
Chloe and Yuri are in the same group during the mission to secure Winston Wheeler in Shellbury, and after Yuri passes out after being beaten by Twilight, Chloe wakes him up. Mistaking her for Yor, he goes in for a hug and is promptly hit on the head by her. Afterward, she helps him get medical treatment. When Yuri is frustrated with his powerlessness during their last mission, Chloe tries to talk to him about it, but he brushes her off. Yuri later tries to take on a small anti-establishment group by himself but gets worn out, and Chloe saves him from an attack. Chloe slaps some sense into Yuri and bluntly explains to him that he will get himself killed at the rate he is going. Realizing he has upset her, Yuri apologizes. Chloe helps Yuri understand that despite his toughness, he needs to take better care of himself, though Yuri concludes that the solution is to improve his defensive skills.
== Other ==
=== Dominic ===
Yuri's friend and neighbor who works at Berlint City Hall. Occasionally, Yuri has Dominic update him on how his sister is while he is out for work. When Dominic invites Yuri to Camilla's place to taste-test Yor's cooking, Yuri is elated and agrees. While having her cooking, Yuri is stopped by Dominic from eating more when he begins to hallucinate his mother beckoning to him, and Dominic is relieved that Yuri managed to survive to adulthood while eating Yor's food.
=== Camilla ===
Yuri knows Camilla through Dominic, who is her boyfriend. Camilla already had an idea of what Yuri looked like through photos Yor showed her at work, but they officially met at Camilla's house when she was teaching Yor how to cook, and Yuri gets called over by Dominic to taste test. In the beginning, Yuri thanked Camilla for being there for Yor but got mad at her for being rude towards Yor, even contemplating getting rid of her. He then changed his mind after Camilla angrily claimed that it would be easier for Yor to break up with Loid than to give her cooking lessons.
