Background:
Illan was born and raised on Coruscant by parents Kiril and Edena Malar. He developed his creative skills from his mother who was an artist and sculptor. He learned his mechanical skills as he spent time with his father in his workshop as a communication and hologear repair technician.

When Illan was age 10, his mother mysteriously disappeared. No trace evidence was found. There were no signs of foul play. His father Kiril searched with desperation for 2 years. Sinking in a deep depression, Kiril committed suicide on the eve of their 15th wedding anniversary. Illan came home to find his father and ran away from his home with only a few credits and his father's blaster. With nowhere to go, Illan was picked up by Vijol Treylev - ringleader for a small-time gang. At the impressionable age of 12, Illan found a new family to fill the void left by the loss of his parents. By age 23, he had worked his way up into the higher rankings of the gang. One night during a game of Sabacc, Illan was overheard saying that he thought it was best if Treylev was no longer the leader of the gang as his sanity was slipping away his mad quest for power, money and infamy had brought the group into a much-unwanted spotlight. Treylev caught wind of this and without a second thought ordered the death of Illan. The attempt failed and Illan fled Coruscant. Everyday he finds himself looking over his shoulder.

He’s gutsy, but not foolish. He’d sooner avoid a fight than find himself floating in a bacta tank. You can’t make money while you’re in an infirmary – or dead. Drug and liquor don’t appeal to him, but he’s always been a sucker for a pretty face. The hope he holds most dear is that his mother is still alive, but he doesn’t know if it’s at all possible or just wishful thinking. Each morning he wakes with a desire to begin a search for his missing mother, but his fear of sharing his father’s fate causes him to shrug it off for another day. He hates his father for his “weakness” and for leaving him alone in this world. Ultimately, Illan lives to make money so he can someday build a legitimate company. He’s not a hero, and doesn’t have the desire to be one, but at the same time, he’s looking for a way to redeem himself for the life he’s chosen, the decisions he’s made and the lives he’s taken. As childish as it sounds, he wants to become someone his mother would be proud of.
