Being born into the family ruling over Moonbrooke County as younger sibling to the heir Lord Anton Moonbrooke defined the upbringing of Yuriel in many ways. It was soon clear that he would be very unlikely to inherit the title of his mothers - even moreso when Anton was wed had had children of his own. This granted Yuriel some freedom and more time to pursue his training with the sword and his love for the sea. As a teenager, he was permitted to see the wide ocean and travel along the coast on his uncle's ship, the Mermaid. At the age of 19, it was decided that he should return to Crystalwater City, and then travel to the Capital of the Choisi kingdom, to make contacts at court. The courtly intrigues he tends to be mostly oblivious to, but he has found some friends among the Choisian nobility. At 24 he spent another year at sea before arriving very recently at the Seat of the Gods, to serve the interests of his family.

| Description
|
|
This young lord is on the tall side for someone of the Choisi kingdom and yet comparatively short when considering people of the other kingdoms. He is of wiry physique and quick in his movements, emanating a natural grace. His skin is pale, his handsome features are framed with dark blonde hair of medium length. Stormy grey are his eyes that often alight when confronted with challenges - or the prospect of enjoyable pastimes.
He is clad in a tunic and trousers of flowing turquoise satin. His beautifully ornamented belt of leather has a purse attached to it and the ornamented leather sheath that holds an elegantly curved sword. The trousers are stuffed into fine riding boots of dark leather.

| Magic
|
|
Yuriel is of a family that is known for its famous seafarers. His gift is his affinity to air magic. Whenever he turns his focus fully towards it, he can create a gust of wind of a strength he chooses. It can be used to fill the sails of a ship in lull, but also, if it gains enough force, it can push someone off their feet. The magic comes at a cost, however. As air is forced to submit to his will, it leaves cuts on his arms and legs, deep enough to cause minor bleeding, even though it will depend on the strength of the wind he has summoned.
|
| Personality
|
|
Yuriel has many faces. To those unacquainted with him, he is quiet and courteous, with considerably more warmth and charm when he is confronted with grace and beauty. He is ambitious, when in the training yard, and loyal to his family and its values. He will keep his word, however high the cost.
|
| Relationships
|
- Anton (brother): Yuriel looks up to his brother and would never actively work against him. He is fond of his nephews and nieces and likes to spoil them with stories and little gifts.
