Canon
Yor and Yuri were siblings who were born in Eastern Nielsberg, being Yor 7 years older. Their parents died when they were both children, leaving them in a very bad economic situation. After that, Yor had to take a job as an assassin to keep her and her brother safe. Thanks to this, Yor was able to do the best for his brother, buying him books to study and feeding him. Even though Yor's food tasted bad, he continued eating it while he vomited. As Yor was working and fighting for him all his life, Yuri began to develop a strong sister complex, so he wanted to make up for what she did for him by doing the same for her, protecting her and making her happy. Eventually, he began working at the SSS, hoping that Yor would be proud of him.

After Yuri found out about his sister's "wedding", he began to be much more protective to his sister. He is afraid that Loid would do something bad to him or hurt Yor. Eventually, when Yuri visits the Forgers, he attempts to analyze Loid to "unmask" him and show that he is not worthy of his sister. However, what Yuri really feels is envy of Loid, feeling that he is taking his sister away from him or that he takes care of her better than him.

People were very suprised in episode 9, when Yor and Loid where about to kiss, Yuri remembered how he asked Yor to marry him when they were kids. Just then crying he asks them to stop.
