Yurie, the Last Scholar

Affiliation The Healing Church, The Choir, Byrgenwerth Scholars Yurie, the Last Scholar, is a hunter and member of the Choir.

As a member of the Choir, she dons the Choir Set, uses a Threaded Cane and Rosmarinus during combat, and can also make use of the Augur of Ebrietas and A Call Beyond.

Her name implies that she is, in fact, the last scholar at Byrgenwerth, the one who stayed by Master Willem's side even until now. Another interpretation is that she is the last remaining Choir member, as she wears clothing from the Church Choir, an institution distinct from Byrgenwerth. The theory says she raided Byrgenwerth along with other Choir members such as Imposter Iosefka, where they stole Master Willem's "Third Umbilical Cord". A note inside the Cathedral Ward mentions that Willem is hiding Rom from "us". Being placed inside the Cathedral Ward implies the author was connected to the Choir, meaning the Choir would not have been able to reach Willem to obtain the cord in the first place. Since Rom dies, and directly after the Blood Moon descends leading to widespread madness, including the Imposter, it's unlikely that a raid ever happened. Additionally, it's never directly stated that Willem did obtain a cord, only that he sought one. Each of the other cords directly state that "this" cord was used in a specific manner, however the Imposter's cord is the only one to lack that specificity. That suggests that the cord does not specifically connect to Willem itself, and may simply be a way to inform the player about the widespread desire of Byrgenwerth and it's students to obtain cords of their own, which the Imposter's dialog about "proving she's chosen" would support.

The Choir is the elite delegation of the Healing Church.[1] Alongside the School of Mensis, they are the highest ranking members of the organisation. Choir members mostly consist of scholars, doctors, tomb prospectors and clerics.

The Choir, like the Healing Church and the School of Mensis, pursue ascension. However, while the church pursues ascension through Blood Ministration, which proved catastrophic, the Choir pursues ascension through experimentation and insight gained from the left behind Great One whom they communicated with regularly. As well as being the highest ranking clerics of the Healing Church, the Choir are also scholars who continue the work that began at Byrgenwerth.[3]

Members of the Choir use Augur of Ebrietas, and A Call Beyond - two of the most powerful Hunter Tools available in-game and signature equipment of the Choir's arsenal. The Choir ran an orphanage to experiment on the children sent to them and cultivated Lumenflower Gardens to create Kin. The School of Mensis might be former members of the Choirs since the highest ranking members of the school also possess some of the Choir's arsenals. However, the method of Mensis scholars are far more horrible: they deployed hunters and Pthumerian Kidnappers to kidnap Yharnamites to harvest organs for their blasphemous rituals. Though they are all rooted from the Healing Church, the Choir and the School of Mensis were openly hostile towards each other. Edgar, a member of the Choir is sent to spy on the school to keep them in check. The Choir itself eventually split from the rest of the Healing Church. After the fall of the Cathedral Ward to the beast, the surviving members of the Choir scattered, not having enough time to cover evidence of their work nor relocating Ebrietas.

Hidden within the Grand Cathedral, the Orphanage was a place of experimentation and study, whose members supplied the idea of forming the Choir itself. The Healing Church collected people, mainly young orphans, hence the name, to create a thinktank of highly intelligent scholars. The way it is described in the main game, through the Orphanage Key, the place is a scholarly location that trains the children's minds to become intellectuals. Upon unlocking the path to the Orphanage, however, one is led into the Lumenflower Garden connected to the Healing Church's Research Hall. In the past, the place was populated by the patients were gruesomely experimented on to grant them the "eyes on the inside," specifically those who developed the ability to manipulate transdimensional cosmic energies. Once arriving there in the present, the Celestial Minions rise from the gardens, led by the Celestial Emissary. A true Great One, this entity just happens to be directly underneath the Living Failures of the DLC, described as "the failed attempts to become Great Ones.

The Brainsuckers, perhaps, were once members of the Choir. They are Kin and still looking for further ascension by sucking Insight out of living creatures. Since the Forgotten Madman has the Hunter Tool A Call Beyond and has several scouts protecting, in the past, maybe he used to be a high ranking member of the Choir who explored the dungeon, encountered Ebrietas and went mad. The Choir is aligned with Kin (Ebrietas, Celestial mobs, Brainsuckers...), and Kin are weak to bolt. And Yahar'gul Hunters are equipped with Tonitrus and Tiny Tonitrus, which further imply the Choir and the School of Mensis rivalry. A dead Choir member is tied up to a chair and locked in a cell at Yahar'gul, Unseen Village. From his body, the Hunter can collect the Upper Cathedral Key. There are no blood stains on his body, no burn marks, nor broken bones. This person, perhaps, died from starvation or dehydration.
