is a fictional character in Capcom's Street Fighter fighting game series. He first appears as a playable character in Street Fighter III: 2nd Impact. He is a member of a secret society known as The Illuminati, which is led by his older brother Gill. The character also appears in the crossover video game Capcom Fighting Evolution, and Street Fighter V as a post-launch DLC character. Urien is well received. Character design and appearances Within series lore, Gill and Urien are the children of gifted parents who excelled physically and intellectually. The Illuminati separated the brothers from their birth parents at the age of six and gave them a specialized education to become candidates for the organization's presidency. Gill was ultimately chosen, leaving Urien bitter with resentment. In 2nd Impact, Urien challenges Gill for the presidency. He eventually gains the title, only to learn that Gill has been promoted to Emperor, the true leader of the Illuminati, whose existence is known only to its presidents and chairmen. In 3rd Strike, in spite of his new position, Urien still resents the supremacy of his brother. He decides to eliminate Gill permanently and destroys the preservation facility where Gill is still recovering. During the character introduction that precedes every match in Street Fighter III, he is presented as wearing business attire prior to the beginning of his fight, where shortly afterwards his skin darkens and his clothes disappear, leaving him wearing only a white loincloth like Gill. In Street Fighter V, he is one of six characters released as part of the game's season 1 DLC content following the game's launch in February 2016, though he is briefly available as a playable character in Street Fighter V's story mode A Shadow Falls, which was released in June 2016 as part of a free update. Capcom staff considered this to be a free preview of the character before he is officially released in competitive game modes in September 2016. In the game's story mode, which is set before the events of Street Fighter III, Urien is still the Vice President of the Illuminati and plots to usurp control of the organization from Gill, and eliminate Shadaloo as a potential rival. He is portrayed as a tyrannical and elitist leader who has sadistic and violent tendencies, and has "complete confidence in his own physicality".
