hello mods! sorry to be getting back to you so late. the event and the new character stuff kind of ate my brain but this was on my mind and with things settling i wanted to not leaving y'all hanging after you helped me out. so, thanks for bearing with me.
so, after giving it some thought and trying to play a few things out, illya's had a few incidences of defending both himself and those very select few he cares about outside of the fighting rings but still in the arena. he doesn't turncoat at all so even if he believes the argument of those he's with to be wrong, he won't care in that he will stand up for them and use his fists to prove that (i mean, come on, he worked with solo for awhile and saved that butthead's life many times despite not liking him much).
he's been around the fighting rings since his arrival to the city and thus, has probably made connections (he wouldn't go so far as to say friends) with those that run the matches. he wouldn't be an errand boy, running for coffee or anything, but if they needed a favor (someone removed etc), he's a regular enough to do the job for a little extra money on the side. don't bite the hand that feeds you and all.
outside of the rings, he's been obliquely involved in some morningstar operations though he prefers to keep back and do things his own way. but again, those in charge are those he cares about so he helps despite again not completely agreeing with their philosophy or outright trusting those in charge (the faceless npcs, not the pcs that have been taking the reins lately).
his reputation, if there is one, would be one of quiet but ever present. he doesn't like to talk much but he will be the first person to stand in front of someone that needs to be defended. his temper is quick and his skills quite varied and his longevity with the kgb says that he's willing to take orders and work his ass off to get where he wants to be.
