===Early Life===
Ilona was born in 2029 in Russia, and is a Russian ex-Spetsnaz sniper who joined the Atlas Corporation, and would practice her skills to perfection.
=== Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare ===
She would meet the new Atlas member Jack Mitchell while she was at the shooting range, having a high score. Gideon questions her, asking if she has anything to prove, but she rebuffs that she still has the high score. If Mitchell beats her high score, she will respond "Shit. Where did this guy come from?"
Ilona would interrogate Dr. Dainos on giving Hades' location, and did so through manipulation. Afterward, Dainos revealed Hades' location in Santorini, Greece. Since Hades would be having a meeting with financial advisors, Irons ordered an assassination hit on Hades, tasking Ilona, Mitchell and Gideon to kill the terrorist. Ilona and Mitchell pretend to be a couple to blend in, and succeed in tracking the movements of a key KVA member. Ilona and Mitchell proceed to kill KVA soldiers, and use a WASP sniping drone to aid Gideon and his team to assassinate Hades.
Eventually, it was revealed to all have been a trap set by Hades, having a double be at them meeting and placed explosives' to kill Gideon and his team. Gideon survives the blast, and Ilona and Mitchell go on foot to stop Hades from leaving Greece while dealing with a sniper. Ilona and Mitchell decide to plant bombs to stop Hades and his convoy, and the KVA attempt to run over Mitchell. Ilona attempts to help Mitchell, but is attacked by Hades, who nearly kills her. Mitchell manages to kill Hades, who gives the two a data chip, stating that "Irons knows."
After assassinating Hades, she, along with Mitchell to go to Sentinel Task Force after Hades gave her a data chip of Jonathan Irons - revealing his deep, dark secret. The chip revealed that Irons knew of the KVA's intention to destroy every nuclear power plant, and allowed the disaster to happen to obtain more power. Irons has Ilona and Mitchell held at gunpoint, but leaves the room to let Atlas MPs arrest them, but are helped to escape by "X". Ilona and Mitchell battle Atlas soldiers across New Baghdad, using boats and a grappling hook to escape from Atlas.
After escaping capture, she and Mitchell spend the game eluding Irons and his men, until meeting up with Cormack and his squad (along with Gideon after staying to get more information). Despite taking the fight against Atlas, she and the others were eventually captured and were pretty damaged in the Atlas prison camp, alongside Gideon, Mitchell, and Cormack. After escaping and killing her guard, she helped Cormack get out of there while Gideon and Mitchell fought their way out.
While Mitchell and Gideon drove a truck out of the prison camp, Ilona comforted Cormack while in the back of it. Ilona, Mitchell, and Gideon had then swore to kill Jonathan Irons as Cormack was dead due to Jonathan Irons shooting him in the knee. After Cormack's death, she and the others still proceeded to confront Irons for the final time. While Mitchell and Gideon fought Atlas soldiers and destroyed Manticore rockets while donning Goliath suits, Ilona was off-field. Mitchell and Gideon succeeded in stopping Irons, with the former killing him by letting him drop off of Atlas headquarters.
