Yulian challenged them, he will fight everyone who complains together with one hand tied behind his back, after beating them, he won their respect.

#### Shubeon

Shubeon met young glow while he was on his Journey of Life and Death he liked his mindset from the get go. They are both simple minded, and value strength. They bonded during Warrior Ceremony and after formation of Red Storm, Shubeon saw difference between their strengths, which caused him to train much harder in attempt to become strong enough to defeat young glow.

#### Haisha

Yulian values his opinion, out of all the officers of Red Storm, Yulian decided to bring Haisha to study with him in the Empire. Seeing Haisha's usefulness Shaone suggested he grant him a duchy, to which Yulian responded with hostility, showing he understands Haisha's value and worth. Haisha knows Yulians limits and often lectures him, but also knows his strengths which he uses wisely.

#### Trickle

Trickle and Yulian met officially during Warrior Ceremony, although Trickle was watching Yulian for far longer. Yulian is the reason Trickle decided to become a warrior instead of a Shaman, despite being Genius and very talented Shaman.

Despite Trickle's hard personality, Yulian liked him right away.

### Family

Because Yulian is Young Glow and oldest son of Provoke family, it is influencing his relationship with family. For example: Sena, his step-mother is giving him more attention than she gives to Pere, his brother. Pere in return is jealous of the attention Yulian is getting, and resents him for it, just because Yulian is born 2 months earlier doesn't mean it's justified to neglect Pere in comparison. Librie his other step-mother on the other hand has a problem with both Pere and Yulian as her own son Orca won't be inheriting with 2 of them being older, so she is constantly plotting and trying to mess their relationships up. On the other hand, Baguna, Yulians father the glow is very proud of Yulian and his accomplishments.

Yulian understands his responsibilities very well and he cares for his family deeply. As a heir to Pareia Tribe he needs to secure bloodline, he has two wives so far, Grace and Keredos, and a baby girl Hiruna.

#### Baguna Provoke

Yulian's father, Baguna Provoke the wise, glow of Pareia Tribe, he loves Yulian not only as his son, but as his heir and he is very proud of Yulians accomplishments, and trust him explicitly as proven when he approved Yulians idea to create Red Storm, despite the tremendous size of the request. He placed Yulians training in the hands of Noya, giving him the permission to do whatever it takes to make Yulian stronger, for his own good. "In the desert, the harsher the teacher, the higher the chances of young warrior's survival". Yulian is very respectful to his father, and complies to his request without a sign of disobedience. On the news of his death, Yulian couldn't help but to cry together with his brother Pere.

#### Meina Provoke

Meina Provoke is Yulian's birth mother, not much is known about their relationship as she was killed in Shuaruri attack lead by Venersis few years prior to the start of the manhwa. Yulian was deeply saddened about her death and vowed to take revenge and kill Venersis.

#### Sena Provoke

Mother of Pareia, Sena is Yulian's step-mother who takes care of him like her own son. She is good natured woman, loyal to well being of family, understanding that Yulian is the young glow, heir to Pareia Tribe she always paid great attention to him praising him for his skills and raising him to be a great man. This was to the extent where her birth son Pere felt jealous. She urged her son Pere to drop the rivalry and notion of surpassing Yulian and instead support him as brother should, because together they are stronger.

Yulian has been seen returning this affection, always greeting her before Librie, and paying her respects.

#### Librie Provoke

Librie is Yulian's second step-mother, their relationship is complicated as she is very manipulative and cunning woman. She hates both Yulian and Pere, she is biological mother of Orca, the third Baguna's son and this is where the resentment towards Yulian and Pere sprouts from. Because her son is the last in line, she is trying to foment the resentment Pere has towards Yulian in hope that they kill each other and allow Orca to claim the title of Glow. She joined with the empire to poison the Provoke family in order to make Orca Glow. While Yulian is not fond of Librie, he always paid her the respects, and did his duty towards her as his step-mother. He even had hard time confronting her after he stopped the Jaalki rebellion. Although Yulian wanted justice and her head for his father's death, due to promise made to Orca, he couldn't kill her, so he made a deal with her : Commit suicide, so that Orca may thrive. Librie surprised at Yulians cunningness agreed, and thus their relationship ended.

#### Pere Provoke

Pere of Great Strength and Yulian were never close to each other. They grew up together, and Pere seeing Yulian get everything just because he was born two months earlier; praises, love and even the title of the young glow, inheritor of Pareia Tribe created immense resentment within Pere which was fueled by Librie and her plot to get them to hate each other, as she wanted her son Orca to become glow.

Pere has shown great aptitude as a warrior and leader but takes issue with his brother and Red Storm, preferring the classic training and tradition of his tribe. Despite Yulian's attempts to reconcile, Pere finds this belittling and has only grown more obsessed with surpassing Yulian. Pere believes Yulian is not as fit as he is to rule Pareia, and he is willing to do whatever it takes to prove himself Yulian's better. Yulian was willing to give Pere a chance, which pere accepted, only to be interrupted by Libries plot and poisoning of Provoke Family. The entire situation caused Pere to rethink his stance on his brother, especially since he was framed by Librie and blamed for the poisoning, he needed Yulian to recover in order to clear his name. It was shown that he cares for Yulian as his big brother, and he was willing to do whatever it takes to protect him. Upon learning of their father's death, Yulian and Pere cried together.

However Grace would have none of it, she was promised by her father who got tired of waiting that she will find her husband on her own, a warrior that can defeat her. But due to Grace being Rivolde's best female warrior that was no easy task, and because of it, she was very angry and she decided to go and humiliate Yulian in attempt to prevent the wedding. After a fight she had with him, she decided to tag along on a Red Storm training session, where after witnessing Yulian's monstrous strength she became interested in him, and after she realized he was that boy who saved her life all those years ago she fell in love all over again promising herself to him.
