Similar to Kunkka and Tresdin, Yurnero is one of the most tragic heroes in history Dota 2. However, it turns out that behind the mask he uses, Juggernaut keeps a story that can make you shed tears! Want to know more? Let's see lore from this one hero.


This is a story about a nomad named Yurnero who always uses a mysterious mask and sword. Although no one knows where he came from or what face is behind the mask, his kindness is well known to everyone. Some who had run into him even always tried to talk to him to understand what was the reason behind his journey. Fortunately, Yurnero always gladly tells the story of his past.

The hero is from an island called the Isle of Mask, a place known for the skill of his swordsmen and their belief in the mysterious entity named Faceless Ones. When mentioning the name of the place, it is not uncommon for Yurnero to see a confused face because he never heard of the Isle of Mask, however, Yurnero always replied with a small laugh before continuing his story.


The islands have a tradition where the inhabitants are obliged to wear a special mask to cover their faces even after they are born. This led many to argue that the Isle of Mask may be a place condemned by the Gods, so that the faces of its inhabitants no longer resemble humans. However, some say that masks are the key to unlocking spiritual power in their bodies to make their bodies much stronger and more agile.

Each island within the Isle of Mask has a different mask, and every few years residents from all over the islands gather to watch a tournament. According to Yurnero, the event was conducted to find out who was the strongest person in the Isle of Mask, and the fighters in the tournament were given the nickname "Juggernaut." However, he also added that the winner of the event not only succeeded in proving his strength in front of his audience, also the Gods.


During his childhood, Yurnero longed for the tournament, he always talked with his friends about who their favorite Juggernaut heroes were, and even practiced to follow his every move. Although he was very young at the time, Yurnero had proven himself to be one of the most powerful fighters of his island, but his journey into a Juggernaut had to stop for a moment.

As the opportunity arose for him to continue his practice, Yurnero's mother was exposed to a mysterious illness. Ever since he was little, Yurnero was alone with his mother after his father was killed before he was born. Yurnero's love for his mother was enough reason to stop his practice. However, the condition of his mother actually getting worse.

Although the inhabitants of the Isle of Mask have a ritual that can cure various injuries and illnesses, no one can cure his mother's illness so Yurnero decides to come face-to-face with Faceless Ones and ask for help from a God.


The only way he can deal with Faceless Ones is by becoming a champion of the tournament, however, his youthful age has forbidden Yurnero to attend the event. For the inhabitants of the Isle of Mask, rule is a very sacred thing, so no one would dare to violate it. However, this was his only hope, and Yurnero knew that he had to break the rule.
