Hailing from a lineage deeply entrenched in the criminal activities of The Italians, Ilya arrived in Los Santos with a singular purpose: to repay his family's debt by serving under the notorious DiCenzo family. However, with the departure of Luciano DiCenzo, the stability of The Italians wavered under the leadership of Luciano's brother, Vito DiCenzo, leaving Ilya at a crossroads. It was during this tumultuous time that he crossed paths with Harry Brown, a member of the Cypress crew, who saw potential in the young newcomer. Despite Ilya's affiliation with The Italians, Harry recognized his hunger and eagerness to learn, prompting him to recommend Ilya to join Cypress.
It was during this tumultuous period that Ilya's path intersected with Harry Brown, a Don member of the Cypress crew. Drawn to Ilya's hunger and determination, Harry recognized his potential and recommended him to join Cypress, despite Ilya's affiliation with The Italians. Despite initial skepticism from Luciano DiCenzo who knew about him a bit before he left The Italians, Cypress persisted in their pursuit of Ilya, trusting Harry's judgment and seeing in Ilya the qualities of a valuable addition to their crew. Under Harry's guidance, Ilya embarked on his new journey without knowing where it would lead. The rest of Cypress did not want to meet Ilya until Harry confirmed he was a good member to bring in.
