Yorukai was usually called Kaiki (trans:
strange) instead of his real name as a child because he was born
with the power to manipulate electricity in addition to his
people's power over water. Of course everyone was wary of him for
good reason, but Yorukai had also inherited their weakness to
electricity. In short, using electricity hurts him as badly as it
would if he were normal.
He left Rusalki in hopes of either
finding a way to get rid of the electric powers or to learn how to
control them and finally got a lead on an exiled member of the
Rusalki nobility that was in the same situation as him. The
nobleman agreed to teach Yorukai what he knew about controlling
electricity so it wouldn't kill either of them and modified
Yorukai's Soul Crystal into the Blood Crystal.
However, planet-hopping is expensive and he had fallen into debt
with some mercenaries.
The mercenaries managed to track him down
but the nobleman had pull with the group and convinced them to
make Yorukai work off his debt as a member. The years passed and
Yorukai, who had left his original name behind by then, was a
full-fledged member of the group when he was approached by the
nobleman with a request from a member of Rusalki's royal family.
Yorukai accepted and travelled to Ryuza but had attracted some
suspicion. During a mission to a world outside the Kui-Shen
system, he was warned of Kouhei's suspicion by a fellow mercenary
and Yorukai was told to hide on "some backwater world in
Sol" until things quieted down.
