History
Past
Street Fighter V Urien
Urien and Gill were the children of members of the Illuminati, both of whom were candidates to be the president of the group. Urien and Gilll became candidates as well when Urien was six and they were separated from their parents. The two underwent genetic modifications and frequent periods of training and monitoring. Urien eventually learned to manipulate ki and his elemental abilities. He eventually learned the Aegis Reflector, one of the 66 secret arts of the Illuminati. When Gill became 22, he was chosen as the Illuminati’s president over Urien, who was named vice-president instead. He would come to bear a strong grudge towards Gill and developed an inferiority complex thanks to his emotional instability.

Urien untransformed
Urien eventually challenged Gill to a match for the position of president and his brother lost on purpose. Thus Urien became the new president of the Illuminati, but Gill wasn’t demoted, instead he became the emperor of the organization and was still superior to Urien. Urien was placed in charge of the G-Project, a bio warfare project that operated based on the human remake theory. This project would lead to the mutation of Necro and the creation of Twelve and a set of similar creations. Urien planned to use the G-Project take down Gill by creating an army of genetic super soldiers. He eventually kidnapped a child being cared for by Chun-Li so as to genetically modify her. She managed to catch up to Urien and he agreed to let the child go if she fought him.

Impressed by her skills, Urien actually let Chun-Li win and gave her the child back.
Ending
In Urien’s ending, he entered Illumianti’s cryogenics lab, saying that the brains they had collected were just a mass of junk unable to take positive action. Urien found Gill in one of the tanks, asking if he could see the world and how his ideal world was being built. He then made the lab self-destruct and said his own story would now unfold.
Personality
Urien is tyrannical and power hungry, as opposed to his more good-natured brother. He is obsessed with becoming the Emperor of Illuminati and often looks down on his opponents. Urien often demonstrates that he has a more sadistic side, because of his emotional instability, and often yells phrases like “Destroy” or “Kill”.
Abilities

Urien is a powerful fighter thanks to the genetic enhancements of the Illuminati. However he is not as powerful or as skilled as his brother, for example, Gill can perform the moves he gained from their training instantly while Urien needs to charge for a few seconds before he can.
