Between the hours of 3 A.M. and 5 A.M. on Christmas Day of 2010, a large, concerted strike against the Giarelli family succeeded in removing hundreds of Giarelli officials, including the majority of the main branch of the family.

Despite having ascended at the age of fourteen, six months prior to reaching age of majority, Illeana did not appoint a regent, and there was no one left in the house who had the ability to appoint one for her. Her actions during the first six months, then, are considered unauthorized and even illegal, though no attempts to prosecute were made. Several attempts to usurp the ducdom were made, though all failed; two of the failures resulted in the disappearance of the attempted usurper under uncertain circumstances. This has led to rumors about their murder or unlawful exile from the nation by Illeana and her supporters.

Authorities questioned why Illeana would resort to murder to remove the man from his position when he was a foreigner capable of being exiled without legal ramifications, and why it would have come so late had it been that Robyrt no longer served a purpose following Illeana's fifteenth birthday. No legal action against Illeana or House Giarelli was pursued, however, especially after Robyrt's family requested the investigation cease out of respect.

Personal Life

Early Life

Illeana was named after Ileana Giarelle née Zoagle, one of the three founding members of the house Giarelle. She was born in Eporte Vir at the Giarelle estate.

Christmas Massacre

Between the hours of 3 A.M. and 5 A.M. on Christmas Day of 2010, a large, concerted strike against the Giarelle family succeeded in removing hundreds of Giarelle officials, including the majority of the main branch of the family. The only survivors of the main line were Illeana, her mother Ilaria, and her brother Nicolo; Ilaria was determined to be a suicide risk and otherwise mentally unstable, and was deemed incapable of leadership; Nicolo lapsed into a coma after a gunshot wound to the head, leaving Illeana as the only capable member of the main line.

Illeana accepted leadership of House Giarelle the next day following a chaotic period during which no one was sure who had survived. Her official ascension to the ducdom was a low-key ceremony with only trusted family witnesses on the 26th of December, and she became the youngest power-player in Rezese society.

Due to the deaths of every director and senior officer of the Giarelle umbrella corporation Azende Generale Vir, Illeana also became a director of the corporation and the CEO, though she immediately stepped down from her executive office due to lack of experience and knowledge to be able fulfill her duties. She appointed her sinizialke, the household's majordomo, as CEO to oversee the transition.

Education

Illeana attended an elite Kirizyuntupao school until the age of fourteen. After the Christmas Massacre, she dropped out of the school and pardoned herself with her newfound powers as Cazique Giarelle from the legal requirement for completion of secondary school, and from the requirement to attend post-secondary education or enter into military service.

Family

Illeana is the third daughter and youngest child of the late Vittorie Giarelle, Cazique Giarelle and Lady Ilaria Giarelle. She had three brothers and two sisters, four of which were killed during the Christmas Massacre. Her surviving brother is Nicolo Giarelle, an inactive lieutenant colonel in the carabinieri.

She did not have any children with her first husband, Robyrt Krynnur. She became engaged to Prince Baldwin of Ghant, a first cousin of Nathan IV of Ghant, after meeting Nathan and one of Nathan's other cousins, Isaac, in 2016. Isaac was initially put forward by Nathan to marry Illeana, but this changed to Baldwin for reasons that were not disclosed. At the time, Illeana had not met Baldwin, and it would take several months for them to actually see each other in person for the first time. They married in November of 2018, four years after Robert's death.

Illeana's niece Mirelle, the daughter of Nicolo, is known to be very close to Illeana, and is currently her designated heir.

Controversy

Despite having ascended at the age of fourteen, six months prior to reaching age of majority, Illeana did not appoint a regent, and there was no one left in the house who had the ability to appoint one for her. Her actions during the first six months, then, are considered unauthorized and even illegal, though no attempts to prosecute were made. Several attempts to usurp the ducdom were made, though all failed; two of the failures resulted in the disappearance of the attempted usurper under uncertain circumstances. This has led to rumors about their murder or unlawful exile from the nation by Illeana and her supporters. To date, however, no evidence of any crime has been found.
