Yurg is a biomechanoid creature with the intellect and intelligence of a human being, but the appearance of a Siberian Tiger. He was originally created by the controllers with the mission to destroy Birash at all costs, and then anyone else that his masters so chose to send him after. However, an unfortunate series of events leaves Yurg owing Birash initially just one, but later on many, many life debts that he desperately tries to repay, but is unable to. Being that he is very honor bound, this forces a truce between the two sides until they are repaid. His personality and temperament is very noble and loyal, but also very honorable, willing to do whatever he must to satisfy his honor, even if that means protecting his prey for a time. Yurg was originally sent out not long after Birash entered the race and came close to killing him, but failed to do so when both he and Birash were captured by the bandits of Orbus's band. Later on, when he's freed by Birash, at the time that he too is rescued, Yurg swears a life debt to his sworn enemy, and prey, and delays killing Birash until his honor is satisfied. However, in the course of his travels with Birash and Simon's team, he eventually grows to like them, and even becomes friends with the one he was once sworn to kill.
In time he becomes a regular member of Simon's team, and even one who will die to protect them if need be. On several occasions he demonstrates this with unswerving bravery and tenacity, even to the point of suffering severe, debilitating injuries in doing so, and even nearly dying. Later on in the course, after softening to the members of Simon's team, and then later becoming friends with them, Yurg eventually becomes an advisor to Simon's team, both in good times, and in the many bad times that they encounter, providing them with some very valuable insights into the world they're traveling through, and much more.
