Appearance: Trotsky is slender and fast, looking almost ghost-like in appearance with a paper-white complexion and light blue eyes. There is a simple black star tattooed in the inside of each of his wrists, which he usually covers up in order to conceal his infamous trademarks. He is very private and rarely reveals any non-facial skin on his body, though this also stemmed from covering up for cold Russian weather. His work clothing usually consists of an long, dark grey military coat, black pants and tall boots. He also usually wears a pair of black or white gloves.

Languages Spoken: Russian, English, small amounts of most of European languages

Personality: Trotsky is an oddity. He has random mood swings and an inconveniently careless attitude about anything and everything. He works with a smile, efficiently and brutally. One of his favourite ways to kill is via icicle. On the other side, he can be very much like a spoiled child when things don't go his way. At times he acts his shoe size, not his age, making him an official drama queen. Being one of the top three assassins in the world, he is used to doing as he pleases and not completely following authority. Though he is impudent, he always gets the job done. He dislikes loud, slow, or obnoxious people. He doesn't talk very much and is generally disgusted by pretty much everything.

Hobbies: Watching TV, arguing with the TV, reading classic novels

History: Trotsky's father, Evgeny Trotsky, is incredibly old, easily old enough to be his grandfather. Evgeny was a member of the Red Army and had memories of fighting the Nazis in WWII. He suffered from constant flashbacks and paranoia as a result of his fighting. From the day he could walk, Ilya was shown how to disarm grown men, use various weapons, and fight hand-to-hand as a result of his father's constant fear that "the Nazis were coming." He never questioned his father's eccentricism, seeing as he was homeschooled and didn't really know any better.

His naive mother, who was half his father's age, spoiled him. She patiently trusted Evgeny's form of raising their child, as bizarre as it seemed. At the age of 18 he was immediately sent to join the Soviet military, by demand of his father. There, he was sorted into special corps reconnaissance, then upgraded to espionage. Soon, he was being sent to take out political figures one at a time, starting his career in assassination. When it turned out that his victims offered much more money and freedom, he deserted the Soviet Army to become a freelance, self managed hitman. Quickly rising in rank as a result of his speed and skill, it only took a couple of years to become incredibly well known and feared in his field. He has a small apartment in Moscow and sends most of his profit to his parents, who don't really know what to do with it and use it to buy ridiculous things like a Lipizzaner showhorse.
