Yuri Leclerc is a main character from Fire Emblem: Three Houses. He is the deuteragonist of the "Cindered Shadows" side-story DLC of the game.
He is voiced by Junya Enoki in Japanese and Alejandro Saab in English.
Biography
Past
Yuri was born in the year 1160, in a poor town in Western Faerghus. His mother was a prostitute, and the identity of his father is unknown.
At some point during his childhood, his family hosted and nursed an elderly man back to health. As a token of gratitude, he taught him how to read and write, the memory of which he kept within a notebook. Some time later, he fell deathly ill to a plague which wiped almost his entire town, but was saved and healed by the same elderly man, who passed away some time later due to natural causes. This chain of events inspired him to obtain his compassionate resolve.
In the year 1174, he is noticed by Count Rowe and taken as an adoptive son, where he took the name Yuri. He reveals to Byleth throughout their supports that "Yuri" was the name he was given when he was adopted by Count Rowe. Though he still kept his true name, he hid it out of necessity. Although he tells Byleth his true name in their S-support, it is never revealed to the player.
At some point, Yuri was hired as an assassin by an unknown sponsor to kill Count Varley's young daughter, Bernadetta, as she possessed the Crest of Indech. He infiltrated House Varley by taking on a job as an assistant gardener, and believing that he could only accomplish the job by obtaining her trust, he befriended Bernadetta. She considered him to be her first friend and they played around the gardens, and he considered her to be the first one he had to babysit frequently. Once enough trust had been formed, Yuri snuck into her room to kill her but could not bring himself to do so, which he claimed was his biggest mistake at the time. This brief moment of hesitation allowed for Count Varley to burst in and catch him in the act, where he had his men severely beat him up, though he survived. Bernadetta was not informed of the assassination attempt, mistakenly believing that she was responsible for his death.
In 1178, he was enrolled in Garreg Mach's Officers Academy but was expelled due to a scandal. When he and other knights were tasked with killing people from a gang, Yuri recognized them as old friends from before, and killed his fellow knights during an ensuing argument over their task. Due to this incident, Yuri was slated for execution but Aelfric argued that he should be pardoned and sent to Abyss. In actuality, Rhea tasked Yuri with keeping an eye on Aelfric, due to his recent suspicious behavior. These events notably did not happen in the continuity of the main game, as Aelfric had been exiled from the church well before Yuri ended up in Abyss, his life there apparently being voluntary with no mention of any crime against the church.
Cindered Shadows
Yuri and the other Abyssians have been dealing with an unusual amount of surface contact, all of whom have been aggressive. He is seen planning with Balthus when Byleth, Edelgard, Dimitri, Claude, Linhardt, Ashe and Hilda discover a hole in the surface leading into the Abyss. They encounter an Abyssian, who flees to Yuri and informs him of their presence. Yuri believes that they do not intend to attack with their meager numbers, but decides to meet them as they are not knights, but are still working with the Church.
Upon meeting them, the Abyssians challenge the arrivals, but are promptly defeated. Balthus and the others inform the group of their peoples' plight, and Byleth agrees to help them. They are able to drive the invading mercenaries out, thanks to a trap set up by Yuri to lure all of the mercenaries to them.
When Aelfric was captured after retrieving the Chalice, Yuri accompanied the others to rescue him. Once Aelfric was rescued however, he revealed his true motives, and Yuri also appeared to have sided with him. Yuri is teleported away along with the other members of the Ashen Wolves, but tells Byleth to save him and the others.
Returning to the Abyss, Yuri reveals his true colors to Aelfric, though he is subsequently bound with his fellow members into a blood vortice. He and the others survived, thanks to Byleth's timely arrival as he had warned them beforehand. He later assists in taking down Aelfric, who turned into an Umbral Beast after an improper ritual.
In Yuri and Constance's shared Paralogue, A Cursed Relic, the two learn of a Relic that Duke Gerth is taking care of. They decide to seek an audience with him, but when they arrive, they find him being attacked by thieves. Duke Gerth takes care of one of the thieves, only for him to transform into a Demonic Beast, surprising Yuri. More thieves turn into Demonic Beasts, but all are put down, and the enemy commander is routed. Following the battle, Duke Gerth decides to hand the relic, the Fetters of Dromi, to them. Yuri stated that he had accompanied Byleth and Constance after realizing it was compatible with him, and promised them that he would not misuse the Hero's Relic.
Quotes
| “ | Yuri: I know you... You're the one Lord Lonato adopted, isn't that right? Ashe: That's right. Wait, I recognize you too! You're Count Rowe's adopted son! I don't know how you ended up here, but your house is no doubt worried sick! Let's get you home, OK? Yuri: You really think I'd choose to go back there? Haha! Better watch yourself—you might lose a limb...or your life. |

| ~ Yuri fighting Ashe in the prologue of Cindered Shadows |
| “ | Yuri: Do you truly intend to forfeit your life for House Rowe? There's still time to change your mind. Ashe: I finally understand Lonato. He knew the price of standing for his beliefs...and he paid it gladly. I WILL DO THE SAME!! Yuri: I like you—don't be an idiot. Or maybe I'll just have to smack some sense into you. |

| ~ Yuri and Ashe's battle dialogue in Ambush at Ailell |
| “ | Once, I used a clever name—and my charms—to become the attendant to the head slug of a noble house. Yet another time, I took a name befitting the Kingdom. That landed me in the academy as a noble's adopted son. That's how I've gotten this far and earned my fortune. In doing so, I've spread my wings of protection further, to help those who need it most. | „ |
