[edit] Appearance
Urien (like Gill, his brother) is dressed like an ancient Greek olympic athlete, wearing only a thong, although he is shown lighter-skinned and wearing business attire during the character introduction that precedes every match in Street Fighter III; he removes the clothing and darkens his skin before beginning his fight.
[edit] Story
As a Street Fighter III character, Urien does not have an official biography. He is the inferior brother of Gill and tried to claim the leadership of his organization, the Illuminati. When he finally succeeded, he learned that there was an Emperor outranking him, his brother Gill. Now Urien still longs to overthrow Gill by creating his own army with the G Project. He kidnapped one of the children Chun-Li looks after so she could get back in shape. While his brother wields fire and ice, he can wield lightning and make his body metal.
[edit] Gameplay
Urien has virtually the same movelist as Gill, except that the input motions for performing the techniques are different. His projectiles and dashing attacks make him ideal for maintaining pressure. While he does less damage than his boss counterpart, he is widely considered among the second-tier characters of the game, largely due to the juggling potential and unblockable setups made possible by his Aegis Reflector super art.
