Who Is Yuri Briar?
A seemingly serious civil servant
Yuri is Yor’s real younger brother and officially works as a “diplomat.”
Polite and articulate in public, he comes across as an intelligent and capable young man.
But beneath that proper image lies a hidden identity.
His true identity: An agent for the State Security Service
Yuri actually works for Ostania’s secret police, the State Security Service—
in other words, he’s a professional spy-hunter.
Even Yor doesn’t know about this.
Ironically, the very spy Yuri is after… is none other than Loid (aka Twilight).
This tangled relationship adds a thrilling layer of tension and fun to the story.
Yuri’s Overwhelming Love for Yor
A little too much affection…?
Yuri is best known for his over-the-top adoration for his older sister Yor.
After losing their parents at a young age, he was raised by Yor—to Yuri, she’s both a mother figure and someone he must protect at all costs.
This intense love leads him to show blatant jealousy and hostility toward Loid,
whom he sees as having “stolen” his beloved older sister 😂
A doting brother who’s hilariously extreme
Quotes like, “If you ever make Yor cry, I won’t forgive you!”
highlight just how protective Yuri can be—often turning serious moments into pure comedy gold.
And it’s that intensity—mixed with clumsy devotion—that makes him surprisingly lovable.
His Fiery Relationship with Loid
The tension begins with a “family inspection”
Upon learning of Yor’s marriage to Loid, Yuri immediately grows suspicious
and begins testing Loid to see if their “family bond” is real.
While Loid calmly navigates the encounter as Twilight,
Yuri lets his emotions run wild, thinking his older sister was “taken” from him.
Their interactions—always on the edge of exposure—are a highlight of the series ✨
Are Yuri and Loid… kind of similar?
Ironically, Yuri and Loid have something in common:
They both hide their true selves and fight for the ones they love.
Though their methods and morals differ,
both are deeply committed to their missions—and to the people they care about.
Yuri’s Humanity and Hidden Kindness
Loneliness and the desire to protect
Yuri can be ruthless when on duty,
but at his core, he simply wants to protect the people he loves.
Having lost his parents early, and raised by his older sister,
Yuri treasures his current happiness and doesn’t want to lose it again.
A frustrating but endearing little brother
Jealous. Overprotective. But also sincere in his love.
Yuri’s character blends human weakness and heartfelt emotion in a way that’s easy to relate to.
That’s why fans often find him to be a lovable pain—they just can’t hate him 😊
Summary
Yuri Briar is Yor’s younger brother—a civil servant on the surface, and a secret agent for the State Security Service behind the scenes.
His intense affection for Yor and clashing dynamic with Loid make him a “dangerous but lovable brother” who blends seriousness with comedy in the best way.

🌸 Rakeruma’s Thoughts
At first, Yuri’s extreme love for Yor took me by surprise…But eventually, I realized—he’s just incredibly awkward and lonely, in the most human way 😊
He follows orders, suspects Loid, acts tough—but deep down, I think he’s a sensitive little brother who longs for affection.
I truly hope that one day, he’ll experience the kind of warm love Yor already knows 🌿
