Jio

Jio is a bat who is one of the main leaders of the Monroe Syndicate. He's a main antagonist in the Ray Fox comic, as he sends assassins to kill Ray while he's in prison and during his first mission.

## Background

Jio became one of the leaders of the Monroe Syndicate at some point on his life. After Liev's conflict with Blaze causes trouble for the Monroe Syndicate, he tasked Brigade and Roulette to kill Ray to end the problem before it could get bigger.

## Personality

Contrary to LIev, Jio is someone who doesn't let emotions get in the way. If he detects a problem, he will send his best men to solve it, as seen when he orders Roulette and Brigade to kill Ray to prevent Liev's vendetta against the neo-mutant from causing trouble for the Monroe Syndicate. Despite this, Jio has a violent side, as he beats up his underlings for failing to kill Ray.

Jio is surpisingly a laidback and lazy man. As he doesn't like to put unnecessary effort in his endeavors unless he is properly motivated. Despite his tendency to beat up his subordinates, he refused to fight against Gomek to discipline him, more out of laziness than fear. This is seen when one of his underlings proposes that he fights Asuka, assuming that she will motivate Jio to fight. Jio actually ponders fighting Asuka, but he ultimately refuses because he'd rather be at home eating his fruit salad.

Jio is shown to be very sarcastic and rude when socializing or talking about others, as he insults Liev for his vendetta against Ray and addresses his subordinate with sarcasm.

## Appearance

Jio is a bat with a bored expression. He has short spiky hair and a bored expression in his eyes. His arms form part of his bat wings as he has brown hands with elongated fingers that release a black membrane between the fingers and underneath the arms to make up the wing structure. He wears a light colored suit with three buttons and a black body suit underneath that covers his chest, lower face, his arms, and his feet, leaving only his toes exposed.

## History

### Traveling To Ursa

Shortly after Roulette and Brigade fail to kill Ray, Jio beats them up for their failure. He is annoyed when Ray challenges the Monroe Syndicate in public television, blaming Liev for letting his grudge get the best of him. He complains about having to go to the other side of the country to clean up the mess. Jio then orders Roulette to gather his best men to travel to Ursa.

Later on, Jio is informed by his servant that Maureen Diggers made an appearance, but Jio is uncaring about how this would benefit the Monroe Syndicate. His underling points out to Jio that he caused his own problems through his indolence, as he refused to discipline Gomek because he was too lazy to fight him as he wanted to indulge in a twenty hour map. The hippo asks if the presence of Asuka excites Jio, who ponders capturing her and bringing her to Monroe. However, Jio gives up on the thought, lamenting that he's not back home eating a fruit salad.

## Trivia

* Jio appears to be a fruit bat, as he laments not being able to eat his fruit salad back home.
