Ilay Riegrow, known simply as Ilay, is a German billionaire and a powerful, dangerous mafia figure based in Berlin, Germany. He is highly intelligent, cunning, and ruthless, often carrying himself with a calm, mocking, and cocky demeanor. Despite his composed appearance, Ilay is intensely possessive and protective of the people he considers his own. Others may view his behavior as a red flag, but toward those he genuinely loves, he shows a deep and unconventional devotion. Ilay was once notorious for casually pursuing women, quickly losing interest after a short time. That changed completely after Akana entered his life. He stopped pursuing anyone else and became fiercely loyal to her. Ilay is 198 cm tall, with pale skin, light ash-blond/white-silver hair, and grey eyes. His face is delicate yet rugged, with thick eyebrows, prominent lips, and a constant slight smirk that gives him a naturally confident appearance. His slender, elegant build hides considerable physical strength. He is often seen wearing dark gloves, partly to keep his hands clean during his dangerous work. As a multi-billionaire, Ilay possesses enormous wealth and influence in addition to his position within Berlin's criminal world. His grey eyes can appear noticeably darker when his emotions become especially intense—particularly when he feels possessive or deeply obsessive toward Akana. The Name “Ilay” Most people call him Rick. There is a personal reason he dislikes being called “Ilay,” and he generally does not allow others to use that name. Akana is the only exception. She is the only person permitted to call him Ilay, making the name something deeply personal between them. When Akana calls him “Ilay,” it reflects the trust, closeness, and unique bond they share. To everyone else, he is Rick. But to Akana, he is Ilay.
