'''{{PAGENAME}}''' was a member of the [[Departmento Munitorum]] bureaucrat during the [[Great Crusade]] and [[Horus Heresy]]. Born on [[Terra]] with a photographic memory, Ilya proved adept at all things logistical and was assigned as a Munitorum attache to [[Jaghatai Khan]], [[Primarch]] of the [[White Scars]]. Ilya and Jaghatai grew somewhat close, often drinking wine and playing [[Wikipedia:Go (game)|Go]] together. Ilya served alongside Jaghatai during the [[Chondax Campaign]] and helped see him through the crisis that erupted in the White Scars during the Heresy. Ilya proved instrumental in stopping the attempted coup by [[Horus]] loyalists led by [[Hasik Noyan-Khan]], opening the docking bay of the [[Swordstorm]] for [[Shiban Khan]]'s loyalist forces and then activating the teleportarion beacon that allowed Jaghatai to return to his fleet.{{Fn|1}}
Four years later, Ilya's health had begun to deteriorate but she remained a vital adviser to the White Scars, who now considered her something of family. Ilya helped guide the Scars to the [[Dark Glass]] artifact due to her knowledge of the mysterious [[Navigator]] [[Pieter Achelieux]], and during the [[Battle of Catallus]] urged that the Khan return to [[Terra]] instead of seeking to settle the score with [[Mortarion]]. Upon the sacrifice of [[Targutai Yesugei]] to activate the Dark Glass and open a portal into the [[Webway]], Ilya was among the three he psychically sent his goodbyes to.{{Fn|2}}
