Details

Personality

• Cool and serious; doesn't raise his voice, and doesn't kid around.
• No problems with killing bad people, cutting off thumbs, staging an improv robbery, torturing gov't officials, or whatever it takes.
• Smoothly and unapologetically deceptive in his dealings with non-Project persons; always has a backup story, and it's rarely/never true. ("Becomes" whatever is needed by the situation.)
• Extremely loyal to the Project, and Gabriel. Eventually stopped trying to uncover who Gabriel is.
• "Knows where the bodies are buried," but reveals only what is needed when it's needed.
• "His superpower is an unflinching resolve."

• At some point, joins the CIA as a Paramilitary Operations Officer in the Special Activities Division (SAD) of CIA's National Clandestine Service (NCS).

B&E; Deception; Marksmanship; Hand-to-Hand Combat; Tactics; Espionage; Interrogation; Indomitable Will

For the GM

This character isn't an Ally to Raphael D'Angelo, in game terms, but a function of Gabriel's "assistance" (as a Patron)—if the Patron assistance roll succeeds, he may send Yuri to help.

Notes

• The hand of Gabriel; doesn't generally show up unless shit's getting real

Trivia

• Basically a combination of John-Person of Interest and Hawkins-Jericho—with maybe some Human Target or Pretender.
• The original basis for this character was a super/mutant, an animal-based shapeshifter (like Manimal) codenamed Proteus, who was also a government agent.
