A Brief History
Born in 1602, Illyana’s family supported the Romanovs against their rivals, the Godunovs, in their bid for control of the Russian Empire.
In 1630, her friend Sophia offered Illyana a choice: become a vampire with her or die. Illyana chose death, but Sophia turned her anyway.
Another vampire named Cytheria revealed that turning the girls was revenge by the Godunovs, who were vampires. The Dakanovas were, unknown to Illyana, a family of vampire hunters steeped in the Shadowdance.
Illyana was now a Daughter of Lilith assassin.
Cytheria later tasked Illyana with turning Adriana Dupré. Illyana did as commanded but refused to give Adriana to the Daughters.
Ultimately, Fatale, the new Mistress of the Daughters, decreed that Illyana should suffer for the rest of her life for her transgressions against the Daughters. Fatale assigns Geisa Barros to ensure Illyana suffers but never dies.
