Yprikushma and her science team discovered the ancient being known as the [[Primordial]] buried within a desolate planet at the edges of the [[Milky Way|galaxy]] 40 years before the last major conflict with the Forerunners. She recognized the entity's scientific potential as an biological artifact and brought it to [[Charum Hakkor]] in a [[stasis capsule]] for study and questioning.<ref name="pri237"/> According to Yprikushma, the information gained from the Primordial saved billions of human lives in humanity's conflict with the Flood; however, her sworn opponent, [[Forthencho]], disputed this, claiming it was the humans themselves who came up with the "solution" to the [[Flood]] and arguing that the Primordial caused the downfall of humanity's civilization by gravely demoralizing them.<ref>'''Halo: Primordium''', ''page 227''</ref>

Yprikushma also traced humanity's origins to [[Earth|Erde-Tyrene]], a source of much dispute to the ancient humans, as humanity had lost most of their records during a technological dark age in their ancient past. Others, such as Forthencho, believed humanity's origins to be elsewhere, having witnessed ruins built by humans on many other worlds and evening the Forerunners themselves was also intersected in humanity's origins. Regardless of the opposition, Yprikushma's discovery of humanity's true homeworld gained her the lofty status she held during the war with the Forerunners. In addition, it was her idea to analyze Forerunner technology and tactics gained from humanity's early conflicts with the Forerunners - technology that bought humanity decades of time against the numerically overwhelming and technologically superior Forerunner military.<ref name="pri237"/>

Yprikushma's consciousness was [[Mind transfer|extracted]] by a [[Composer]] in [[Citadel Charum]] and archived at the behest of the [[Librarian]]. Nine thousand years later, the Librarian imprinted Yprikushma's archived personality into the genetic material of a [[Florian]] known as [[Riser]] as part of a ''[[geas]]''. Some time after awakening within Riser after he had landed on [[Installation 07]], she "reunited" with Forthencho, whose personality was in turn carried by another human, [[Chakas]].<ref>'''Halo: Primordium''', ''page 225''</ref>

After Riser and Chakas were captured by [[Mendicant Bias]], the [[rampancy|rampant]] [[Contender-class artificial intelligence|Contender-class]] [[ancilla]] in control of Installation 07, Yprikushma's imprint was removed from Riser and placed into a [[monitor]] shell; the same procedure was done to many other humans who also carried archived human memories. Mendicant Bias promised the ancient humans revenge on the Forerunners, if their former carriers cooperated with it in saving the Halo from an impending collision with [[Wolf-faced planet|a planet]]. Yprikushma and Riser evidently complied, and were taken to a control station to interface with the Halo's controls. What become of Yprin Yprikushma after the [[IsoDidact]] captured [[Installation 07]] is unknown and was never mentioned again. Her geas' fate is unknown.<ref name="p307">'''Halo: Primordium''', ''page 307-311''</ref>

When represented by a holographic projection, Yprikushma was described as "blocky-looking" and "stout as a bull".<ref name="p307"/>
