Personality
Akio has a strong sense of morality and self awareness. He often feels the need to try and head towards a more "just" goal but has a preference towards less ideal methods. Willing to manipulate and use others, including himself and his own master. He hides this pragmatic side of his with a friendly smile.

Early Life
Akio grew up in the Northern Village with a well off family. He lived with his older brother Hefin, and adopted sisters Llinois and Tesni. His father was a bridge engineer that caused the family to go bankrupt over his incompetence as his faulty designs caused multiple collapses.
