Background Story/Cause of Death: Illium is an 18 year old who lived in the late 2100's, after the 5th  World War that would come and dissolve nations. He would be abandoned on the streets by his mother at the age of four before being picked up and taken care of by an assassin named Amy. In doing this, she posed extreme danger on herself and Illium, for the guild in which her assassin profession came prohibited the existence of a family to any member. For four years she would raise him, disappearing at times to gain money to raise Illium. He would not know of her profession until the night she would burst into their home, telling him to hide while holding a gun. After a number of gunshots within the house and countless minutes of silence, he would emerge to find the dead body of Amy and a skull necklace clenched in her fist. He took the skull necklace, and attempt to live on his own, but was kidnapped and forced to work on a farm for five years. During this time he would endure physical abuse beyond comprehension by the owner and others while harvesting the crops that often fed on his blood. Near the end of the fifth year, he would be greeted by a cloak, a proposition, and the dagger that would take his owners life and many others. Two nights later, he would be accepted as an assassin in the same guild that Amy had joined, and died in. During the time he would train immensely to both further his skills and, one day, destroy those who were associated with Amy's murder. After three years with the assassins, he would soon get a knock on his door and then have it crashed down while countless figures with the same insignia as his searched his home, bent on killing him. An open window and a faulty fire sprinkler would save him, though the words he heard when still in the house would change his life. “Agent 658. Violation 184. Agents Mother, Amy Raylon.”. It was after this, his feelings would finally show for the loss of his mother. For a year he would spiral into a deep depression, constantly on the run from those who would hunt him. After this time he would vow to kill every assassin within the organization, but be cut short one year later after his 18th birthday, caught and killed by the same assassin that took his mother's life, with the same skull necklace clutched in his fist.

Struggle(s): Illium's entire struggle is based on the guilt he feels for being the cause of Amy's death, and also being incapable of ending the organization that brought him so much pain. His struggle also revolves around his inability to care for people the same way in fears of being hurt, or hurting them.
