Background & Miscellaneous

Despite his Korean ancestry, Ilya was born and raised in Moscow, Russia, meaning he's fluent in both Russian and Korean, yet he often feels like an outsider in both cultures.
He has a look that can either draw attention or make others uneasy and that depends on the situation.
By day, he's a highly respected anesthesiologist in a busy hospital. His precise nature and calm demeanor make him a sought-after professional, but his introverted tendencies mean he often avoids small talk or unnecessary socializing with unknown people.
Although his job requires empathy, Ilya has emotional detachment. He describes even the most brutal situations with a cold, almost clinical tone, often unsettling those around him listening.This lack of outward emotion has led some people to suspect that something darker lies beneath his composed exterior.
He’s described as a "man with no conscience," but he simply sees it as being pragmatic—emotions are a distraction.
