While not shy by any stretch of the imagination, Iljor is a contemplative and quiet man and not one given to loquaciousness. There is a serene grace about him. He is perhaps most animated discussing his passion in life: archaeology. He is also extremely humble, eschewing recognition when he receives service ribbons and is almost always embarrassed by the attention The kind to study and take in a room before engaging, he is diligent and careful in everything that he does. He approaches assignments with scientific methodology such as proposing a debate (as opposed to a diplomatic summit) between the Thama and the Nascaik over the rights to an uninhabited planet.

He is often reluctant to confide in people when faced with a personal challenge, believing that if he does he will be burdening them with his problems. When he was confronted with allegations about his parents' activities in the Occupation of Bajor (see below for more information.), it was several months before he confided in somebody.

During the course of his service aboard the {{USS|Resolution}} and the {{USS|Excalibur-A}}, Iljor grew in confidence and found it easier to make connections with people. After the destruction of the {{USS|Resolution}} he developed a more assertive streak, which initially led to clashes with Lieutenant [[Vitor Silveira]]- but the two quickly became friends. Others aboard the Excalibur have remarked that he has become a more commanding presence.

* '''[[Yogan Yalu| Lieutenant (J.G.)Yogan Yalu]]''' - Roommate aboard the Resolution. Yogan and Iljor quickly bonded, with the former inviting him to participate in his zhian'tara. During the time he embodied Yalu's second host, Edanne revealed to Yogan that Iljor considered him akin to a big brother. During one routine surgery mission, the two stumbled across an adrift Type-7 shuttlecraft emerging from the [[Celendi Nebula]].
* '''[[Vitor Silveira | Lieutenant (J.G.) Vitor "Sil" Silveira]]''' - After some friction between the two men over their differing approaches to situations (Iljor going by evidence and Sil trusting his gut)- a friendship blossomed between the two following the Cytarix mission. Following their assignment together on Demes II where they posed as adoptive brothers, Iljor found that he had become consider Sil as such. He is still occasionally irritated by Sil's tendency to rush into a situation without thinking- but trust his good friend enough to know that he always has an exit strategy (or can come up with one on the fly). During CloQ's second encounter with the Excalibur's crew- Iljor referred to Sil several times as his best friend.

Iljor asked Yogan for advice when he was considering expanded into the command track.


* '''[[Meidra Sirin| Lieutenant (J.G.) Meidra Sirin]]''' - After the two worked together in preparation for diplomatic summit aboard the ''Resolution'' a friendship began to develop between them. A weekly lunch began between the two of them and Iljor also spent some time during his first shore leave with Meidra and her boyfriend, Dwich. When she was threatened by her grandfather, Iljor was the one to pull her out of harms way. She also takes an active interest in Iljor's love life, having attempted to set him with an Orion visitor to [[Deep Space 224|DS224]]. Iljor is aware that Meidra keeps a lot of herself guarded from others and while understandably curious, he respects her decision. Meidra was also the first person that Iljor told about the accusations that his parents participated in a massacre of Cardassian refugees during the Occupation and she also agreed to travel to Bajor to help him confront his parents. She was present when Oona and Rehr confessed their part in the massacre and was there when they were arrested by Bajoran Security.

* '''[[Aine Sherlock| Lieutenant (J.G.) Aine Sherlock]]''' - Aine and Iljor's friendship began during his first shore leave after the conclusion of the Thama-Nascaik peace summit. They quickly developed a rapport but were both bemused when people repeatedly mistook them for a couple. She worked in cahoots with Meidra Sirin to introduce Iljor to Niera, an Orion passing through [[Deep Space 224]] during the shore leave follow the Thama/Nascaik peace treaty. She subsequently promised Iljor not to meddle in his love life (while cautioning him that Meidra might continue to do so). She also took it upon herself to find Iljor a drink from her homeland that he would like. It was her that introduced him to Tyrconnell, an Irish whiskey.

* '''[[Karrod Niac | Lieutenant Commander Karrod Niac]]''' - Before their assignment to Demes II, Iljor considered Karrod to be just a superior. But having posed as adoptive brothers, Iljor found a bond forming with the perpetually ''harumphing'' and grumpy Trill. When Karrod proposed a rescue mission for [[Tina Kuppasoop]], Iljor didn't think before joining him. Niac was Iljor's sponsor for the Command Training Program.


* '''[[Hamsan Dwich| Crewman (Second Class) Hamsan Dwich]]''': Introduced to each other by Meidra Sirin, Dwich's girlfriend, the two have bonded over their shared devotion to The Way of The Prophets. Iljor helped Dwich navigate the pitfalls of potentially moving in with Meidra over drinks in an Irish tavern aboard [[Deep Space 224]].

====Romantic Interests====


* '''[[Niera]]''': Iljor's romantic interest. An itinerant student that Iljor was introduced to via [[Meidra Sirin]] and [[Aine Sherlock]]. Although, he was annoyed at their 'matchmaking' scheme, he was still attracted to Niera. Several weeks later they met once more, Niera having been invited to [[Addison MacKenzie]]'s promotion celebration (by Meidra). They took a walk away from prying eyes where they both confessed their attraction to one another. Niera asked Iljor on a date and he accepted. Shortly afterwards, they kissed for the first time. Niera went to Bajor on a whim, having felt called there- and became the second person that Iljor told about his parent's history with the Resistance during the Occupation.

Rescued by the ''USS Carpathia'', the crew of the Resolution were ferried to Risa for shore leave and psychiatric evaluation, which was standard for a crew whose ship had been destroyed. Iljor found visiting Risa in the wake of the Resolution's loss to be distasteful and tacky. Profoundly affected by recent events, Iljor retreated into himself and isolated himself from his friends and colleagues. When invited to a dinner party by Lieutenant Silveira, he almost declined but a conversation he had with [[Hallia Yellir]] put things into perspective and he realised that he had slipped into a depression and needed professional help. [[Genkos Adea]] surprised him after the dinner by promoting him to Lieutenant and the position of Chief Science Officer of their next posting. Iljor was present when [[Kalianna Nicholotti]] promoted Adea to Commander and Iljor joined in the toast.

====Assignment to the {{USS|Excalibur-A}}====
====The Cytarix Swap====
[[File:Vesta class.png|right|thumb|300px|The USS Excalibur-A.]]On Stardate 239811.17, Iljor was assigned to the {{USS|Excalibur-A}} (along with the survivors of the {{USS|Resolution}}) as it's Chief Science Officer. He had previously expressed incredulity at the idea of being assigned to the ship given his relative inexperience and his relatively recent graduation from Starfleet Academy. Shortly after launch, the Excalbur-A was assigned to investigate unusual radiation signatures from the uninhabited and unimportant Cytarix V. Iljor was unable to offer any theories about the strange radiation or where it had come from. He was present that [[Arlo Thornton]] uncovered evidence of a strange gravitational anomaly in the same star system. Joining the landing party on arrival, Iljor suggested that they begin investigating a nearby forest and crater-like formation, although there was little way to determine the source of the radiation thanks to its deleterious effects on sensor resolution. A situation developed involving an unknown spherical object that seemed to deft gravity and shortly afterwards, the shuttle Lyonel was somehow swallowed by the ground. Rescued aboard the runabout ''Questing Beast'', Iljor returned to the ship shortly afterwards- and suddenly found himself in the body of Commodore Nicholotti! Now part of the chain of command preservation plan due to his new body, Iljor was forced to remain aboard the Excalibur while an away team returned to Cytarix V to determine what had caused the mass body-swapping and to find a way of undoing it. The Commodore- who was inhabiting Iljor's body- left him in command of the bridge while she visited sickbay- and he found himself exhilarated by the experience. Iljor was present when Ensign [[Talos Dakora]]- with whom he had begun to build a friendship- managed to uncover a method of communication with the strange Sphere-Aliens (he refused to call them 'Orbs' as others were, fearing it would be blasphemous). A short while later, he returned to his own body and helped the Sphere-Aliens to find a new home in the magnetosphere of a neutron star in a trinary star system.

====Demes II====
====The Demes II Incident====
After an uneventful shore leave, Iljor was summoned back to duty along with the rest of the crew for a mission to Demes II, a world undergoing an ice age and anomalous technical innovation. Upon learning that the mission was scheduled to last three months and that he would part of a deep cover infiltration team, Iljor expressed doubt that the mission would be a success given that such deep cover roles in pre-warp societies required weeks (if not months) of training. However, Commander MacKenzie expressed confidence in Iljor's abilities and called on him to help coach those taking part in the role.
After an uneventful shore leave, Iljor was summoned back to duty along with the rest of the crew for a mission to Demes II, a world undergoing an ice age and anomalous technical innovation. Upon learning that the mission was scheduled to last three months and that he would part of a deep cover infiltration team, Iljor expressed doubt that the mission would be a success given that such deep cover roles in pre-warp societies required weeks (if not months) of training. However, Commander MacKenzie expressed confidence in Iljor's abilities and called on him to help coach those taking part in the role. Iljor is assigned to the away team investigating strange goings on in the fishing village of Jupe, which had undergone rapid expansion in the preceding few years. On his first morning in the village, Iljor ran afoul of the local shipping captain- Sydonia Thrike- although he was saved from an unpleasant fate by local tavern keeper, Fingus Lakar. He became Fingus' bookeeper as part of his cover. Over the following week and a half, Iljor grappled with growing homesickness, an inability to explain the preternatural fog that covered Jupe at night and a growing concern that fellow away team member Lieutenant Faustina Kuppasoop was dangerous. One afternoon, the fog rolled in to town much earlier than expected. Concerned, Iljor used a tricorder that Commander [[Karrod Niac]] had smuggled on to Demes II (in contravention of orders) and found that the fog was emitting a subspace dampening field. He realised that the fog's arrival coincided with Sydonia Thrike's return to Jupe. He, Niac and Fingus Lakar (who had stumbled across the two men at the fog shrouded port) were then captured by Thrike and her lackeys. They were then taken to the caves around Jupe and tied up for unknown purposes. Thrike and her lackeys took Iljor, Fingus Lakar and Niac to an abandoned Starfleet installation where Iljor realised that the cultural contamination had come from the Federation. They managed to escape Thrike's clutches but were trapped in the caves by an unstable [[Tina Kuppasoop]] who was now being controlled by a holodeck character from the Excalibur. They managed to give her the slip and then contact another team on the planet. After seeing Fingus home to safely to Jupe the away team then retreated to an emergency shelter where they were beamed back aboard the Excalibur who had responded to a distress call issued by Commander Niac.
 
Three days later, Iljor volunteered to return to Demes II after the unstable Tina/Mary Daniel hailed the Excalibur and indicated that she wants to return to the ship after her new life did not work out. Joining Sil, Karrod and Commander MacKenzie, Iljor infiltrated the city of Shmuopolis through its fetid sewer system. The journey gave him the opportunity to consider Starfleet's response to the situation (simply removing the technology) and he came to believe that the organisation instead had a duty of care to help the Demesians navigate their new situation rather than simply deny them it. He spoke of his feelings on the subject to Commander MacKenzie while infiltrating a building where the team believed Tina/Mary was being held. Shortly afterwards, they stumbled across Tina / Mary and Iljor joined the effort to convince her to return to the ''Excalibur''.  


====Command Training Program====
[[File:224.jpg|left|thumb|300px|Deep Space 224, where the Excalibur returned after the classified mission to Demes II.]]During the ensuing shore leave, Iljor spoke at length to both Commander MacKenzie and Doctor Adea about his burgeoning command aspirations. MacKenzie told him that the Command Training Program was available to him and Adea believed that he had what it took to be a command officer. Buoyed by their belief, Iljor went to Commander [[Karrod Niac]] and asked him to sponsor him for the program. Niac asked him bluntly whether he was able to make life and death and decisions, at which point Iljor told him how he had travelled to Bajor the previous year to confront his parents over the Talmulna Massacre- which resulted in their arrest, something Iljor had by then learned to live with. Niac gave his approval and gladly became his CTP sponsor.
Shortly afterwards, Iljor was recalled to Bajor to oversee the final stages of the sale of his parent's farm and homestead- a sobering and unpleasant experience. He returned to the ''Excalibur-A'' two weeks later, where he was promoted to Lieutenant Commander by Commodore Nicholotti, who cited that he had served with distinction.
====Falling Through Time====
During the awards and promotion ceremony, Iljor suddenly found himself in unfamiliar surroundings with Commodore Nicholotti, Sil and Ensign [[Sleepy Tiberius|Seria Tiberius]]. He then meets Damiyo Il Naosuke, a human feudal lord from 18th century Japan on Earth and he realised that they had travelled through time. Before the Starfleet officers could begin to figure out how this had occurred or how to get back to their own time, they were thrown through time again and arrived at the construction of one of the ancient Pyramid of Giza. They were accosted by guards of the Egyptian Pharaoh and were made to trek across the Sahara Desert to meet with the all power leader. How time shifted once more and the away team- plus a now temporally displaced Naosuke- found themselves in an alien jungle, the prey of a Hirogen hunter. Iljor and Sil quickly drew parallels between the Resolution's encounter with CloQ and their current predicament. Shortly after Sil refused to play CloQ's game by sacrificing his life (which earned Iljor's ire)- the displaced officers and Naosuke were shifted once more, this time to [[Magna Roman|Magna Roma]] where they assisted in a prison break before being apparently returned to the Excalibur- although it quickly became obvious they were in the past, on the day that then-Captain Nicholotti lost her life to 'The Scar'. Before the group could make any headway, CloQ summoned them and demanded that Commodore Nicholotti apologised for her crew's disrespect towards them- something which he bluntly refused to do. Sil thanked CloQ for the opportunity to grow and enraged, the Q reversed-aged him as an act of punishment forcing him to relive traumatic events. They then returned the crew to the Excalibur, as if no time had passed.
====Beginning the Command Training Program====
Iljor began to work on a defence against CloQ in the immediate aftermath of their latest visit, collaborating with [[Addison MacKenzie]] and [[Hallia Yellir]]. A short time later, he was awoken in the middle of the night by [[Karrod Niac]] who announced that Iljor's first examination as part of the Command Training Program had begun. He was tasked with escorting a specialist- Niac- to the bridge using only the ship's crawlspaces and tube. The caveat was that they had to go via engineering to pick up a critical piece of equipment. A short while into the examination, an 'explosion' rocked the Excalibur, forcing Iljor to take a detour to investigate. It transpired that a photon grenade had exploded during routine maintenance, trapping two crewmen behind isolation fields and endangering their lives. Iljor came up with a solution and was determined to help despite Niac's protestations that it might cost him marks in his examination. Despite this, Iljor was unmoved and was determined to render aid. Once the examination had finished, Iljor realised that the true test was how he faced making command decisions in a situation where there was no right answer. Commander Niac then revealed he had passed with flying colours- although both of them were subsequently were ordered to appear in front of Commander MacKenzie, who had not been briefed on the examination thanks to a clerical error on the part of Commander Niac. MacKenzie allowed the result of the examination but put the 'fear of the Prophets' into Iljor, who already found her incredibly intimidating.
Some time after the examination, Iljor visited Sil to check on him after their encounter with CloQ. During their dinner, Iljor began to realise that he was feeling burned out and while he was reluctant to do so, he made an appointment the infamous Doctor Gott. Around this time, Iljor also met [[Maz Rodan]] and [[Quentin Collins]] whose starship, the {{USS|Arrow}} was visiting [[Deep Space 224]] after an unintended trip outside the galaxy. The trio embarked on an expedition to investigate a Category-5 ion storm in The Borderlands.
At a ceremony on the hull of the Excalibur, Iljor was awarded the Good Conduct, Quantum Reality Service and Department Chief Ribbons.
==== A Diplomatic Disaster====
[[File:Son'a_Battlecruiser.jpg|250px|thumb|Right|A Son'a Battlecruiser]]After an extended stay at [[Deep Space 224]], the Excalibur was assigned to mediate an unknown dispute between the Klingon Empire, the Romulan Republic and the Son'a Solidarity. At the ensuing briefing, Iljor briefed the senior staff on all three parties and was then assigned to find ways to make the visiting delegations more comfortable, with the aim of making them more flexible during the negotiations. During this time, the replicator in his office (along with every other aboard the ship) malfunctioned and Iljor overstepped his responsibilities when he ordered [[Hallia Yellir]] to take the replicators offline. He was then assigned to greet the Klingon delegation and took a shine to Ambassador Tork. He also shared his unease at their assignment with [[Genkos Adea]] before arriving early for 'Taco Night'. During the dinner, Iljor gave up his seat for Doctor Gott when the Ferengi arrived as Tork's "plus one". He was knocked to the ground when Tork collapsed and took the aforementioned Ferengi with him. After Gott began to panic and the other Ambassadors had also collapsed, Iljor escorted him out of the Round Table and then turned to investigating what had happened. After he discovered a microvirus in a chili, he reported it to Commodore Nicholotti and Commander MacKenzie and recalled that Acamarians had developed a method of targeting specific people's DNA through the use of a virus. He then suggested that the Acamarians may have traded that knowledge or that another species had developed something similar.

* It is hinted on multiple occasions that Iljor has something of a weak stomach. The thought of Demesian tea (reputed to smell like feet) made him nauseou as did having to wade through sewage. Additionally the smell of whiskey had made him wretch on more than one occasion.

* He occasionally daydreamed about solving the mystery of the galactic barrier, something that fascinated him.
