Chronology[]
Io, along with the rest of the Haulia Tribe, were exiled from the Sea of Trees due to them concealing Shea's existence to the rest of the beastmen. They were later rescued by Hajime Nagumo at Reisen Gorge while they were attacked by monsters. Hajime would then have the Haulia Tribe act as his guards while attempting to reach the labyrinth that resided in the Sea of Tree in exchange for his protection. After learning that the fog around the labyrinth would not be clear enough to reach for ten days, Hajime trained the Haulia Tribe in that timeframe, which resulted in turning them into bloodthirsty warriors. When they reached the labyrinth, Hajime learned that he needed to clear four labyrinths before he could enter it. Hajime then parted with the Haulia Tribe while he left to explore the other labyrinths.
Io and the other Haulia Tribe members continued to improve their fighting skills and even recruited more members. After the beastmen of Verbergen were attacked by both demons and the Hoelscher Empire, the Haulia Tribe began to conduct various guerrilla tactics against both forces, but their leader Cam was captured by the empire. Io was met by Hajime when he and his companions visited the Haulia Tribe's village. Hajime gave Io a message from Par about needing reinforcements in order to invade the empire to rescue Cam's unit. Io then briefed Hajime about the Haulia Tribe's current fighting capabilities, to which Hajime ordered him gather all members of the Haulia Tribe so that he could transport them to the empire.
After Hajime rescued Cam and his squad, the Haulia Tribe infiltrated the imperial palace during the engagement party of Princess Liliana S. B. Heiligh and Prince Baius D. Hoelscher. After killing many of the party's guests, including Prince Baius, they forced Emperor Gahard to end the imperial practice of using beastmen as slaves by bestowing him and his family with cursed necklaces that would kill him if he broke his vows.
When the self-styled god Ehit was planning to wipe out all life on Tortus, Io and the rest of the Haulia Tribe fought alongside an alliance of nations against Ehit's forces, which resulted in Ehit being killed by Hajime.
Io was among the members of the Haulia Tribe that would eventually move to Earth in order to be able to serve Hajime.
