**Illias Alnazar** (Hindi: **इलियास** **अलनाज़ारी**) is a main character in The Arcana, being Indirah Alnazar's younger brother. When he thought his sister is missing, Diether Lozano's family took him in and adopted him. Illias is a human, which means he's a non-mage. As he's only 14-years-old, he isn't classmates with Kellan Xalvador and Sapphire Chauvera. His counterpart is **Elias Salazar**, one of the narrators, and his patron arcana is **Strength**.

Illias' base is one of the writers, **Austin Dy**, the voice of Hiro Hamada in the demo reel and documentary of Beyond Worlds.

## STRENGTH **Λ**RC

He was born under the star sign Leo, on August 9, as the youngest main character. Illias has Indirah as his sister, who's three years older than him, and they were inseparable growing up. He's only 3 years old when his parents were kidnapped by Warlocks, and right after that, his sister goes to find them only to meet the same fate as their parents, leaving him alone. The Lozanos were kind enough to adopt the toddler Illias and raise him, making him and Diether Lozano close.

With his biological family gone, he wants to erase them from existence and wants to think they died and left him all by himself, even though a part of him knows they might be alive. Illias trains with Diether to be a mage hunter like him, believing that mages are the reason why they're gone. Upon meeting Sapphire Chauvera and Kellan Xalvador as his upperclassmen at Belvoire University, Sapphire offers to help him find his parents and sister, but he keeps turning her down, much to her and Kellan's frustration.

In the event of the first outbreak of the plague in Belvoire, Illias, Diether, and the Lozanos were isolated and are safe, not knowing that his sister Indirah is still alive and is infected.

## PERSON**Λ**LITY

As his patron arcana is **Strength**, his personality is based off the card.

##### **Positives**

On the contrary of what he's been through, Illias stayed **strong** and coped up with the obstacles in his life, facing them with great **confidence** and **power**. Even as a kid, he's shown **compassion** to others, even if they're only strangers. He has a big heart and would often put others first than himself.

##### **Negatives**

Illias is sometimes **doubting** his own strength and himself- he sometimes may think he's **inadequate** for something even if he isn't; which contradicts his **self-confidence**. He also may come off as too much of a **coward** as he doesn't want to know what actually happened the day Indirah left him.

## PHYSIC**Λ**L **Λ**PPE**Λ**R**Λ**NCE

Illias has slightly spiky black hair that reaches his nape with his hair often going in multiple directions, and and he has bangs covering his forehead. He has russet brown eyes and his height is 5'6".

He wears a light ivory button-up shirt and adds a green shawl with yellow tassels on the sides draped across his slightly exposed chest. The sash he ties around his waist is also colored green. His pants are faded violet in color, and he has black boots as footwear. Around his left wrist is a gold cuff bracelet, and he wears a necklace with a peridot pendant around his neck.

## TRIVI**Λ**S

* Illias means "Strength of God", which matches his patron arcana, Strength (VIII), and his zodiac sign is Leo, the Lion.

* The character Illias would be a polar opposite to is his own sister, Indirah. Being a Leo, his ruling planet is the sun, and Indirah's is the moon. While his zodiac sign's element is fire, Indirah's element is water.

* His bracelet has a peridot pendant, which is the August birthstone- the month he's born in.

* Illias has some facts that relate to the person he's based on, **Austin Dy**:
	+ He, along with Indirah and Sapphire Chauvera, are characters based on members that have huge differences in personalities- Austin isn't as ill-tempered as Illias and could control his emotions better, as well as the tone and volume of his voice.
	+ Illias and Austin are both good with technology (also the same with Hiro Hamada, one of the characters Austin voiced as) and are both artists (also the same case with Zion Huang from TSS).
	+ Austin was the one who came up with "Choo-choo pickle pie" as his distress signal with **Amree Aguinaldo**, and Illias mentioned the same to his friends.
	+ Both of them wanted to be IT security specialists.

* In the earlier drafts of the story, he and Indirah were supposed to be twins.

* Despite Austin Dy being at least 3 seconds older than Amree, it was Indirah who's 3 years older than Illias.
* Illias and Diether have some similarities.
	+ Both aren't infected of the plague, although their loved ones did.
	+ With Illias being adopted, both of them grew up in the same household.
		- Additionally, they known each other the longest (Indirah and Illias don't count since they got separated, and Kellan wouldn't know Indirah's existence (even as Blanca) until the plague.
			* Again, even if Indirah knew Kellan through Khaleesi Rosales' stories about him, Kellan doesn't know Indirah exists.
		- They're the only mage hunters in the group, with the exception of Kellan who's only training to be one in order to get close to Diether.
	+ Him and Diether are the tallest of the main characters, with Diether standing at 5'9" and Illias at 5'6".
		- Illias mentions that he and Diether are of the same height when Diether was his age. This means that Diether grew 3 inches in only a span of two years since Illias is 14 and Diether is 16.
