''Archivist Note: To be honest many of the Protectorate Triumvirate had outright wanted to erase these records. The only reason why we actually have this is because Yuriko herself demanded that we record this, even if the leakage of this would cause a major uproar and destroy her reputation. She even took on the task of gathering as much information of Yuri she could with the help of the Shinobis and even reviving the few people who knew Yuri before he became Psicorps general, and after you finish reading you'll see why she did this.''

Born in the sleepy village of (insert Voshkod city) in the year (insert), Yuri Grigorov was noted to be special even as a kid, being the first known psychic outside of the Heralds. The manifestation of his powers often has him saying he could hear voices in his head, blurting out secrets he shouldn't know, knowing what a person felt, and his extreme revulsion to hunting and a vegetarian diet as he could feel the animals dying thoughts. The last two cases were because Yuri was one of the rare psychics to possess the gift of natural empathy, rather than having to train it. And said empathy was also the strongest, as he is able to feel the emotions of every living being within a mile, and couldn't shut it off, the best he could do was make an empathy dampener which became his signature headgear. While his gift had a major part in making him the infamous manipulator, it was also noted to be the likely reason for his decent into the infamous commander.

For the first ten years, Yuri had a relatively normal life, though his powers made it hard for him to socialize. Until the revolution came. And when a corrupted group had come to ransack his hometown and held him at gunpoint Yuri had unintentionally used his powers for the first time by taking control of the guard who held him. Unfortunately, since it was the first first time he'd used his powers, and in a panic no less, the guard had went mad instead and began rampaging through the village, the ensuing panic had also caused Yuri to accidentally fire off his powers again, causing half of the soldiers and the villagers to go into a blood driven frenzy. The event, while repelling the soldiers, had destroyed almost all of the villages and killed off half the population, one of the casualties being Yuri's father.

Afraid of his powers and driven by anger. Yuri's mother and the villagers immediately banished him, calling him a cursed pariah.

Were it any normal children they would have died within a day. But Yuri, through a mixture of betrayal and determination, survived. And had spent the next four years learning and controlling his powers, often using it to find food, pacify or intimate predators that would kill him, and in desperate times take control of a small animal and then order it to kill itself so that he wouldn't starve.

By fourteen Yuri had started to interact with the more modernized cities. Using his powers to swindle and steal for survival, eventually joining and then leading a gang, using his powers and guile to manipulate his rivals. And had gained a wealth of knowledge, despite not having a proper education, though using his powers to look into a person's mind to learn, though this method had meant that he struggled in applying his knowledge in practice.

By eighteen Yuri would be one of the many youths conscripted to fight under the Garleans banner. Where he had used his self-taught skills to full effect which eventually led to him being noticed by Emet, and after showcasing his powers to the party was elevated to the head of the new psychic research branch, where he would spend the next five years studying and learning about his powers, eventually leading him to find out about the Heralds as he realized that the Heralds knows about his power more then he does.

Unfortunately, his research was cut short by the end of the war when Cherdenko took the role of Premier upon Emet's assassination. As his first action as Premier was the complete purging of his branch with his blackguards entering his labs and gunning down every staff and razing the lab. Fortunately, Cherdenko had underestimated Yuri, who had secretly made a small army of psychics in fear of Emet betraying him, and had managed to hold off Cherdenko's raid and managing to evacuate nearly all of the staff and their research data before going into hiding.

In the aftermath of the purge Yuri and the researchers went into hiding, many scattering themselves to the other nations in the hops that they could use their technology to further their research, with Yuri himself going to Ulthuan.

Archivist Note: To be honest, this section was basically the sole reason why we chronicled this under Yuriko's order

Using the power of glamour, Yuri had managed to masquerade as a Katsuragi scientist Yoshi Nakamura.
