Illaoi & Gangplank's Relationship

Did Illaoi know Byrne?”

No. She knows me,” said Miss Fortune. “I heard that her and Gangplank used to...you know?”

From Shadow & Fortune chapter 1.

So I kind of wonder...what was this relationship like? Gangplank is well...a blackhearted scoundrel. Illaoi, from what little we've seen of her doesnt SEEM so bad. I wonder how they got involved?

"Do ya fancy scrimshaw, m'lady?" -Gangplank, carving tentacled intricacies into a living man's bones.

We got her Portugese champion select quote "I prefer broken bones to sermons" -which makes me think the two of them aren't totally different. I'm not sure exactly what the laws of her religion are, but I imagine Plank could make some pretty large donations to her church. But what I also wonder is when they broke up, and whether Plank was any more...tempered when they were together. Everyone that isnt on Plank's side hates him, but Illaoi doesnt seem to have garnered the same enmity.

I'm wondering what interactions the two characters might have.

I just got done listening to Illaoi's VA, she's very...forceful. She doesn't seem to care much about good or evil so long as people live their lives in the way they desire. She's constantly talking about being "in motion" versus "stagnant things", so she likely would have very much liked Gangplank while he was slaughtering his way to the top, so they may have had a relationship.

But she has one line: "Gangplank was drowning. You helped him swim again.", which I assume is directed towards Miss Fortune. Gangplank may have gotten "stagnant" or comfortable in his control of Bilgewater, and stopped being ambitious and taking action once he reached the top. Illaoi would hate that. In her eyes, Gangplank's "death" and loss of power has probably made him better, because now he's actively fighting again. She even has a line: "You want your revenge? Take it!"

It sounds like she just wants to keep Bilgewater, if not all of Runeterra, in constant motion and flux.
