Illium is a Flora Magician released during the MapleStory: Nova Update.

Born as a Verdant Flora commoner with no magical abilities, Illium grew up among surviving Verdant Flora as a young boy with exceptional mastery over engineering. His hidden talent was recognized by Agate, the Headmistress of the Crystal Academy, and despite having no magic, Illium became enrolled as a student. When the Verdant Flora are betrayed by one of their own, Illium is entrusted with the mysterious Elder Crystal, created by the savior of their people - the God of the Verdant Flora. After fusing with the crystal, Illium's appearance and personality merge with that of the God's, awakening immense magical power inside him. Leading the last survivors of the Verdant Flora, Illium hopes to find a new home for his people and awaken the full power of the Elder Crystal in the Sanctuary of the Ancient God, hidden somewhere in Maple World.

Story

Main article: Illium/Story

After the end of the Flora Civil War, the surviving Verdant Flora went into hiding in a pocket dimension called Sanctuary, led by Agate - the disciple of the God of the Verdant Flora. Unlike the High Flora caste system of the God-King, Gods, Priests, and commoners, Verdant Flora society sought to remove the inherent classism by creating roles based on function, rather than power - for this reason, the Verdant Flora's societal system was composed of Seekers, Guardians, and Engineers, with Engineers being the equivalent of magic-less commoners in High Flora society.

Illium was a young Verdant Flora Engineer who had a talent for creating machines, such as his robot, Ex. One day, he and Ex were caught trying to escape Sanctuary by Agate, who discovered that Illium had powerful innate magic, despite being unable to manifest wings with his the mechanical constructs of the Verdant Flora. For this reason, Agate enrolled Illium in the Crystal Academy, where she hoped to nurture and awaken his talents. Though Illium was socially awkward, he soon made friends with several other Verdant Flora students - Morian, Dean, Carnelian, and Sinaria.

During his time in the academy, Illium was tutored by Agate, who helped him hone his unique style of fighting in the absence of his wings. However, Illium faced discrimination from Darius, a Guardian of the Verdant Flora, who looked down on Illium because of his lack of magic. During the Festival of the Gods - created to honor the past Gods of the Verdant Flora - Illium constructed a statue that incorporated machinery with crystals, which were pervasive in Flora society - earning him the respect of the Verdant Flora. He later turned this statue into another robot, which he called Machina.

Illium also came across the Elder Crystal in Agate's office, which was created by the God of the Verdant Flora. The crystal immediately reacted in Illium's presence, confirming Agate's belief that Illium was the Chosen One who would save the Verdant Flora. Soon after, Darius betrayed the Verdant Flora and allowed the Specter army to enter Sanctuary. Agate sacrificed herself to stop Darius from killing Illium and the other students, opening a portal for them to escape to safety. As she lay dying, she entrusted the Elder Crystal to Illium and tasked him with awakening its power in the Sanctuary of the Ancient God, which dwelled somewhere in Maple World.

The Elder Crystal, upon which the God of the Verdant Flora had imprinted his powers and personality, fused with Illium, physically changing his appearance and personality to blend with the God, as well as granting him immense power that allowed him to manifest enormous blue wings. Illium then led his friends - the last surviving Verdant Flora - on a mission to honor Agate's wishes and awaken the Elder Crystal. The students arrived in Pantheon, where the Nova were immediately hostile towards them upon seeing that they were Flora. Though the students assured them that they were Verdant Flora who stood against the High Flora, the Nova claimed that according to their historical records, the Verdant Flora were the ones who had started the Flora Civil War by killing Darmoor's father, the former God-King, as revenge for the High Flora exiling them and taking their wings.

Because of this, the Nova blamed the Verdant Flora for starting the war which had led to Darmoor awakening as the Transcendent of Life and losing his sanity, which resulted in him waging a war against the other races to remake all life. However, Kaiser vouched for the Verdant Flora and allowed them safe passage through the Interdimensional Portal into Maple World. There, the students began scouring Maple World for the Sanctuary of the Ancient God, leading them to make friends and help the people of Maple World. During their adventures, a gateway opened that allowed only Illium, as the bearer of the Elder Crystal, to enter. Inside, the voice of the God of the Verdant Flora spoke to him and filled him with power before sending him back to Maple World.

Soon after, Illium was led into a trap by his classmate, Sinaria, who had sided with Darius. Darius revealed that he and Sinaria had pledged their loyalty to Darmoor, believing that their people's dependence on machinery was a mockery of their noble lineage as superior magic users. For this reason, Darius and Sinaria had been tasked with recovering the Elder Crystal in exchange for regaining their wings and magic. Illium managed to defeat Darius and Sinaria, forcing them to retreat. Meanwhile, the High Flora reported Darius' failure to Darmoor, who simply stated, “The meaningless struggle of immature life… What a pathetic existence.”
