Grew Up… in Britain with his alcoholic father. After the death of his mother, Dio blamed his father for her early demise.

His side occupation can be classified as seeking to become the strongest, wealthiest, and most powerful being in the world.
Interests… reading, gathering goons, and drinking the blood of (attractive) humans. Before relinquishing his humanity, Dio had a strong affinity for red wine.
Relationship Status… single. Dio is disinterested in romantic commitment, too treacherous and insane in nature to likely care.
Challenge… managing his thirst for power. Dio enjoys positions of power and becomes enraged if anyone displays a chance of competing against him. Whether it’s seduction or violence, he disregards the cost of his actions if it means he remains the kingpin.
Personality… domineering, manipulative, and apathetic. Dio is a man of ambition, his love for power is unbounded. Dio is the last person to feel obliged to follow any set of morals. By all means, anyone and anything is disposable—he will use any means necessary to get what he wants.
