Profile

The young emperor of Theranhad. Although he's of the same lineage as the previous emperor, he was far from even being considered to be next in line for the throne. It was only due to an orchestrated series of events that he ascended. With next to zero political influence, he is widely considered weak and unfit to be emperor. However, he is protected by his advisor and high shaman, and some even suspect that his public image is only but a facade to his true character.

Zio carries the title "The emperor of Theranhad who leads the era of revolution". Zio is voiced by Zeno Robinson in English, 小林裕介 in Japanese, and 윤은서 in Korean. Zio's hobby is card matching games, hunting, reading and reciting poetry, and Zio's good at brainwashing, delving into the depths of one's inner darkness and manipulation. Zio likes the early hours of dawn, overly sweet drinks and when everyone bows to him. Zio was released on 24 November 2022.

Zio's introduction: When all the pieces are put together, I'll finally be whole again.
