## Biography

### Pre-Timeline

Yuri was born in 2050, 170 years before the plot of the End of Days. He was the bastard son of the first Aldane and a woman with the last name Harris. At an early age the Aldane father left, leaving Yuri to be raised by his mother. Yuri was a troubled kid who was molded poorly by the constant controversy of being a bastard kid, due to the affair caused by Aldane and his mother.

Because of this, not many associated with Yuri, and soon he found himself alone. It was known in anger and hatred for the situation, Yuri would take it out on animals, usually found drowning mice and birds in buckets of water. At a young age, Yuri also discovered his affinity for water magic. Due to his Aldane bloodline, Yuri's magic was strong, and he was able to learn how to use it very fast.

As a teenager, Yuri's sadistic state began to grow worse, as he would start to hurt people he didn't like. It crossed the line when Yuri murdered a Plains girl by drowning her in a marsh. When the Swamp found out about this, they banished Yuri from the region.

Enraged that his home region would do this, Yuri summoned his mighty and terrible water powers to create a tropical depression in the gulf of Mexico. This storm would destroy the city of New Houston and damage the capital city of the Bayou. As a result, the people grew fearful of Yuri's power, and begged him for mercy.

Yuri, liking this sudden power, eventually used his intimidating powers to take the swamp over. Raising a large standing army, Yuri used his terrible powers to summon larger, more powerful storms. The Plains, who were threatened by Yuri's destructive behavior, tried to mount an invasion to take him out before he grew too strong.

This invasion failed when Yuri summoned a massive tidal wave, which crashed into and killed the invading force very suddenly. This started Yuri's immense hatred for the Plains, as he started a full frontal assault. Using his army and a variation of endless rainstorms, Yuri managed to destroy most of the Plains and kill most of the people who resided there.

After this show of power, a man of the Plains promised his daughter, a beautiful woman named Sasha to Yuri in exchange for sparing his family. Yuri accepted the offer, taking Sasha as his own wife and having several children with her.

Seeing the threat Yuri brought to the world, the regions of the Desert, Tundra, and Hill all formed an alliance to stop Yuri's madness once and for all. They attacked Yuri's armies with their own, though the powerful water magic Yuri possessed was able to hold the combined forces at bay and away from the Swamp capital.

The regions sought out the most powerful mages in the world to stand up against Yuri. The ten mages, called the Savior's Circle, formed, led by Yuri's own father, the first Aldane. They stood up to Yuri's mighty water magic, able to repel Yuri's attacks with their own combined magic.

This came at great cost though, as Yuri killed half of the circle before they finally managed to corner him in a cave near the gulf. Before the Circle could finish off Yuri, he froze himself in a large ice box that couldn't be melted with the hottest fire, to be in frozen state until awakened by the blood of mages. He remained frozen in the box for 150 years, before being unfrozen in the Season 3 Finale.

### Season 1

Yuri is only briefly mentioned in Season 1, when a follower of him attempts to drown the Main Cast as they escape from the swamp capital.

### Season 2

Yuri is mentioned more, being described as the ancient swamp king. His cultists capture Anastasia and attempt to sacrifice her to awaken Yuri, but Marcus Green saves her, killing the cultists.

### Season 3

Yuri starts to haunt Morgan's dreams, appearing as an evil man who causes terror and destruction with huge tidal waves and mass floods. This is due to the connection Morgan has to Yuri, being his descendant.

Yuri first appears in the Season 3, where he is awoken from his box by the blood of Anastasia Keating, a powerful mage. He soon returns to the Swamp Capital, taking over and informing Marvel that he was in control now.

### Season 4

Yuri comes back in Season 4, having control of the Swamp regions now and any regions that Marvel had previously conquered. He holds off on his master plan to flood the world by the words of Marvel, Melanie, and Jess, but only if they are to succeed in taking the other regions over before he grew impatient.
