Yuri isn't an antagonist and he's apparently been fighting the hard fight the other time. His appearance might be literally how he did it. I thought that made a bit of sense, like with how Griffith did with his appearance. It was kinda nice how his appearance actually had more gusto than:
>I look this way merely because I wanted to be like this
From memory he implied he sold his body to men to gain favours right? I was male MC and I swear he literally insinuated that. Been a while though. Can't remember it that well.

I like how subtle he is when bowing to Rhea. He's in complete submission to her merely because he feels he has lost all other means of leverage. But, he just has this stern formality around her like he's biding his time to strike. Maybe I'm just reading too much into shit though.

I thought Hubert would do this with Edelgard though.
Or Claude with Rhea and the other House leaders (apparently he does in the musou... but I just couldn't do musou again).
I just didn't expect characters to be done this well in this sort of game. I expected Persona 5 tier which is nothing but cheese with no subtlety.
Yuri is the best one for me though. There's a lot of complex shit in the background you will never know about, so he becomes this enigma that you're never comfortable with. You feel like he might stab you in the back for crumbs, or he might be completely faithful. Truly pokerfaced. The androgyny adds to that feeling too of "facade".
