"I guess I'm the normal one."
—Rojio
Rojio is a highly intelligent wizard with a warped, sadistic sense of humor, deriving pleasure from inflicting twisted, morbid terror upon innocent people. He enjoys instigating chaos and watching it unfold. Rojio dislikes to kill, seeing death as an "end of the game".
He has a weakness for wagers and games, always looking to make things more interesting. However, as true to his name, he often twists, bends, breaks, changes or destroys the rules during the "game" for his own amusement and the downfall of his opponents.
