Ilya was born and raised in Russia. His father was a military man, while his mother was from one of the more rural areas. The house was always cozy and warm, and smelled of good foods. Ilya adored his father, until his father was KIA.

At that point, Ilya started to work his butt off doing odd jobs and whatever work he could find until he was 18. When he was finally 18, he was conscripted for his mandatory year of service. He dedicated his time and energy into being the best he could be and instead of leaving after one year, he enlisted fully.

He takes care of his family, his mother and his younger siblings.

After 2025 disaster, he had his squad and some scientists and doctors take over one of the prototype trains ran by a small nuclear reactor, with a back up coal burner. He let them bring their families and they now live and travel around all of Russia in the train. A mobile community.

Ilya is in charge of it. He has brought along his mother- who is showing very early signs of dementia, and his younger siblings.
