Biography[]
Past[]
Iliess and her family joined the Balban three thousand years ago when they were formed by Captain Zahab to destroy planets for Daitanix to eat and turn into Planet Life Jewels. Iliess and her children quickly gained power within the Balban and assembled an army of magic monsters with the sole motivation of gaining as much money as possible. The army was successful in helping the Balban in thier mission but was sealed away with the rest of the Balban when the original Gingamen defeated Zahab on Earth and placed a seal over them.
Gingaman[]
In 1997, the seal over the Balban is broken by a mysterious earthquake and they return to being active threats but Daitanix's seal remains intact which forces the Balban to focus on ways to revive him with Zahab offering a massive fortune as a reward to whoever managed to succeed. This causes the Balban generals to start competing using thier separate Majin Corps but, before they start deploying monsters though, Captain Zahab leads them on an attack with the Seamen Yartots only to be intercepted by the new generation of the Gingamen. With the new threat, Zahab has to select a general to bring down the Gingamen so the generals present thier top monsters to try and impress Zahab with Budoh summoning Komuhachi. However, the general is ultimately decided by a game of poker with Sambash being chosen as the winner when he pulls a joker.
After Dotoumusha uncovers and captures the Lights of Ginga, Iliess and Bucrates decide to frame Budoh as a traitor so she can take control and get Zahab's promised fortune. As such, she sends Medoumedou to pose as Budoh which leads to her succeeding Budoh when he is imprisoned and she uses her Majin to try and revive Daitanix using various mystical techniques.
Iliess is later resurrected along with the rest of the Balban leaders and many other Majin by Captain Gregory as part of his plan to resurrect the Balban. However, she is killed for good by the Galactic Flash.
Personality[]
Iliess is money hungry and greedy who would put the lives of her whole army including her family aside for money. She didn’t mourn the deaths of her two daughters but was saddened by the death of Desphias.
