Yury Dreyar (ユーリ・ドレアー Yūri Doreā) is one of the founding members of Fairy Tail. He is also the father of Makarov Dreyar. He was a treasure hunter along with Precht and Warrod.

Appearance
Yury is a tall man with spiky hair, bearing a resemblance to his great-grandchild Laxus Dreyar. He dons a dark-colored shirt, a jacket and long pants.

Tenrou Jade arc
In X686, Yury arrived on Tenrou Island along with Precht Gaebolg and Warrod Sequen in search of the Tenrou Jade.

Entering a seemingly abandoned library, Yury ran into Mavis Vermilion and was shocked to notice that people actually live on Tenrou Island. He then attempted to lie to the young girl that he was a botanist on a biology research mission, though Mavis saw through his deceptions, resulting in him admitting that he and his friends are treasure hunters searching for the Tenrou Jade, an S-Class Secret Treasure. Mavis then told Yury that she won't let him take the island's holy relic, although she was countered with the fact that it could be easily taken by force; however, Yury decided that they should simply play a game of truth. Explaining the conditions of the game, Yury managed to convince Mavis to play under the promise that she will get to meet fairies if she wins. After some prepping for the game, Yury activated a Judgment Field and explained the mechanics behind it, with Mavis pointing out that the advantages of its Magic were in her favor. Realizing her intelligence, Yury noted that he still has one ace up his sleeve and expressed confidence that he would win, until he recognized the child's fierce determination to win the game in a single round. Yury ultimately lost the game (as predicted by Mavis) but soon Precht and Warrod arrived and revealed that the Tenrou Jade was gone. Mavis then requested that they bring her on their travels to seek the Tenrou Jade and to also see the outside world. Yury agreed to this and took Zeira with them as well, though he later regrets the latter decision.

At some point in time, he co-founded the Fairy Tail Guild, with Mavis Vermilion as the Guild Master. As they finally finished the guild building, all four took a photo as a sign that Fairy Tail has been born.

Magic and Abilities
Lightning Magic (雷系各種魔法 Kaminari Kei Kakushu Mahō): Yury chose to learn this kind of magic since he preferred a magic that is loud and flashy. This magic gave him the ability to produce, control and manipulate lightning and electricity at his will. He is also proficient enough to use this magic against multiple enemies.

Equipment
Judgment Field: Yury possessed an A-Class Secret Treasure, a Magic Item that creates a small spherical barrier causing the people within to be unable to tell a lie. Yury used this item against Mavis in a game of truth, where if either of the two were to tell a lie, they would lose the game.
