Personality
Illumi speaks “cheerfully” Illumi displays little expression for most of his life. Illumi speaks with a joyful, absent-minded tone that contrasts his expressionless demeanor. Illumi is a hardened, ruthless individual who focuses only on his own interests. He still has a strong and protective love for Killua, his younger brother. In fact, he used his Nen power to control Killua to ensure Killua’s survival and obedience. [4] His father taught Killua that darkness was his only source of support and that he only found joy in the death of others. Illumi inserted a needle into Killua’s brain to protect his brother. This forced Killua to flee from the battles he didn’t know he could win.
Illumi takes care of most Zoldyck Family members. Open to handling Alluka’s power even if it means his death. However, he has said that family members cannot kill during inner missions (a mission in which there is internal conflict). He implied that Alluka would be okay with his killing and that Alluka was not part of his family.
Illumi Wanders off the path of an Assassin
Although Illumi appears to be devoid of human emotions, he still has a strong desire for Alluka’s wish-granting ability. Tsubone suggests that evil ambition to control Alluka’s power led him to take a different path than an assassin.

He described it as “give-and take”. once volunteered to help the magician, serving as his double in the Phantom Troupe hideout as Hisoka searched for Chrollo. Hisoka then asked whether he would kill Killua. Showed a horrible side and asked if Hisoka was willing to die right away. Hisoka’s demeanor, bloodlust, and reaction to not making a decision on whether to kill Gon or not were similar to Hisoka’s response to the Hunter Exam. However, his relationship with Killua is less important than their relationship. Believed that one would end up killing the other, despite the mutual benefits of their relationship. Agreed to sign a contract with Hisoka, stating that if the magician was killed, would receive his reward. It was referred to as an “engagement ring” or “prenuptial agreement”, by the assassin.
