Story
Birth
Ybrahim was born to Armeo and Asnara who were both the rulers of Sapiro that time. The entire kingdom rejoiced upon the birth of their king's heir but their hopes of a bright and peaceful future for the kingdom got shattered when the King of Hathoria, Arvak declared a war against the Sapiryans to battle out for the ownership of the Brilyante ng Lupa. While the war was going on, Asnara rode in a carriage and secretly left Sapiro to supposedly seek refuge in Lireo, however, on their way there they got ambushed by Agane and a group of Hathors. When Agane asked Asnara to come out of the carriage she left Ybrahim in the seat and prayed that he wouldn't make any sound. After Agane had stabbed Asnara she proceedes to the carriage (Probably thinking there is gold inside).
Thankfully, Agane didn't enter the carriage or she would have seen the infant Ybrahim inside. When Agane and the Hathors had left, Apitong revealed himself to Asnara and she asked him to take care of Ybrahim. Apitong took Ybrahim and brought him to their camp. He proudly introduced him to their tribe saying that he will be the reason why their tribe will be progressive someday. Ybrahim would then grew up under the name given to him by Apitong, Ybarro and his true identity was never made known to him nor his fellow warriors.

Powers and Abilities
Kalasag - When Ybrahim is wearing the most treasured armor of his heritage, the Kalasag, he can withstand any attacks with it whether physical or supernatural even those from the elemental gems and even powers blessed by the gods. In effect, the Kalasag will shield its wearer from almost all harm, and like it's name, it will erect a strong shield that will reject any offensive attacks from the enemies. Shown many times that when Ybrahim dons the Kalasag, he is always the last man standing when his troops are attacked by a suprise blast from the elemental gems. But it is noted that Avria's energy blast as well as Ether's somehow manage to tip the ultimate defense of this armor and left Ybrahim stunned but with less effect than with everyone else. The Kalasag is indestructable as even the lethal venomous cursed hands of Pirena, a gift bestowed by Ether, weren't able to melt the armor.
Regenerative Healing Factor - A trait notable to the Sapiryan people, Sapiryans are known to have the ability to heal themselves from injuries faster than any of the other human-like beings of Encantadia. If a normal engkantado will recover atleast a day from a tiresome battle, a Sapiryan will usually recover within a few hours.
