Personality: Thickheaded and more then a small amount brash, when Yuri has it in his mind to do something he'll move heaven and hell to do it. He also feels extreme loyalty for those in he would consider friends or comrades.
Strengths: Spending so much time in cramped conditions has given Yuri a great deal of situational awareness, in knowing just how far back to cock a punch without bumping the ceiling, and where a wall might be breached without it threatening the collapse of the whole structure.
Weaknesses: Spending much of his formative years in the few mines remaining on Earth, Yuri grew to fear the expanse of the open sky, and trembles at looking into space through view ports on space stations and the like. While being agoraphobic is not a trait that one could think a space marine could deal with, he has learned to ignore it through distraction, usually combat or more... base desires.
History: Being brought up in one of the few mining cities left on earth in the Northern reaches of Siberia, Yuri grew to expect the ever present walls that surrounded him for all of his life. So when he discovered that he was to be conscripted and sent into the UNSC to fight in the war against the Covenant, he unexpectedly reacted quite badly. After sending two recruiting sergeants to the hospital, he was finally coerced into joining by telling him that there were many possible deployments in which he would rarely see the open sky, let alone ride in a spaceship.
Of course that was a bald faced lie used to get another recruit into training, one of many used in the war. Yuri's opinion on open space was given as much thought as the desires of a bullet to not be fired, and he was considered expendable in much the same way. This was especially evident when his first assignment was aboard the ill fated UNSC frigate Pusan, as a junior assistant in the engine room. It was sent as a part of a rear guard action, along with the Leyte Gulf, to protect against a covenant fleet attempting to capture the UNSC Stalingrad, a carrier that had a hold full of Forerunner technology. The loss of the Pusan and Leyte Gulf was deemed worthy to escape with the rest of the fleet, and so they were to hold position on the dark side of the fourth moon of Ekebreke, to ambush the Covenant forces rushing after the Stalingrad. It was hoped that these two ships could distract the Covenant Fleet long enough for the UNSC to escape, and then for the two ships to jump themselves.
The ambush worked better then could be expected, the covenant were surprised and momentarily stopped their charge for the Stalingrad, allowing it to jump out of the system. The Covenant leader upon seeing his prize denied, decided to get revenge from those that had refuted him. He ordered hundreds of drop ships to descend on the two UNSC ships. A large portion of them that landed on the Pusan went directly to the engine in order to disable the ship, and this is where Yuri met his destiny.
Thanks to the quick thinking of the Pusan's command staff, it was able to jump before the mains ships of the Covenant fleet were able to close the gap and reliably kill it's engines without destroying the ship. The jump had gotten the Pusan to a safe distance from the Covenant fleet, but it still had score of Covenant aboard and all but the bridge and engine room were taken over by the Covenant. The captain of the ship called for a charge from both rooms in attempt to clear the ship, hoping he would not have to initiate the Cole protocol and scuttle the ship. Yuri was able to find a small piece of radiation shielding that was to be used, and quickly welding some more bits of metal, was able to make a rudimentary shield. With that shield, combined with his natural propensity for being in close quarters, he was able to lead the charge from the engine room, and almost single handily killed the covenant aboard the ship. After such an outstanding display, Yuri was recommended by the surviving Pusan Command for a combat post. It was here that Yuri spent most of his career in the UNSC.
After the war with the Covenant had ended, he stayed on with the UNSC, not knowing any other way to spend his life. He was deployed to several insurrectionist worlds and performed admirably. It was on one of these campaigns that Yuri became disgusted with the high command of the UNSC, and retired. Forming the mercenary company Aegis Systems, with a specialty of retaking ships lost to pirates. His company worked with many planetary governors near pirate hot spots. He maintains contact with both UNSC and insurrectionist members that he had met during his time in the UNSC, and is rarely in dramatic need for work. As of this writing, Yuri is doing quite well for himself.

Weapons: M7 smg; M319 Individual Grenade Launcher; Shield of size shown in picture made of radiation shield, and as such is near invulnerable, M6D handgun (x2) holstered on the inside of the shield, M9 High explosive grenade (x6). Yuri's armor is made up of standard issue UNSC Marine armor, with some custom modifications that enhanced his close quarters ability. The main difference are the addition of Carapace plate for his torso, and several more pouches for ammunition and explosives. His shield is about one and a half meters tall and half that in width. It's being made of extremely durable reactor lining, it can receive all manor of small arms fire without apparent damage, but the same cannot be said of Yuri. While the shield may prevent the actual impact of any manor of bullet, the force itself is still sent into Yuri's arm, this has led to one incident in which his arm was broken in several places after his shield was hit by a Covenant Fuel Rod cannon fired at it's maximum range.
