Io was a mutant among his people. His tribe had passed through a zone of wild magic while his mother was pregnant, and gave birth to a child with a third eye. It was thought to be a malady at first, and he was treated as a freak, forcing him to spend a lot of time by himself in lonely places and to wear a blindfold over it

When he finally decided to start seeing through his third eye, it opened his mind to another world. His abilities presented himself, and he in secret started practicing with his new powers. After many months of practice, he finally revealed to his tribe the strange and mysterious powers of telekinesis he had gained. The tribe's elders were terrified of his new abilities, and even those who picked on him refused to go near him.

He put himself in exile, wandering a desolate wasteland until he found a large stone arch in the middle of nowhere. It led nowhere, but to Io, it seemed like it might be a gateway to someplace different. He started camping there, meditating before the gate on his abilities and life in general. He managed to live there for years, to the point that travelers who passed by the curious structure thought him a magical guardian, calling him simply 'the gatekeeper'. Io traded with them when he could but otherwise led a simple life for several years.

Then one night the gate opened. An astral traveler exited the gate, having come through from lands afar to trade with the far off metropolis hundreds of miles away. He took a curious interest in Io, who approached to understand this new arrival. Though talented, Io had very little ability with magic itself. The traveler found his telekinetic powers to be intriguing in the least and took him as an apprentice as he traveled and traded.

Io spent many years traveling with this wizard-merchant, and learned a few things about magic and about himself. He gathered quite a few magical items his mentor was done with, accruing a nice collection of wands and minor items.

Mysteriously, exactly four years after taking him under his wing, the mentor abandoned him. He was left in a land he didn't recognize, not even sure he was on the same plane of existence anymore. The only thing his master left behind was a ring.

Io is a tall and lean, sturdily built man of astounding vitality. He has no hair, and is tattooed all over his face and bald head with glowing pale blue inks. The center of his forehead looks to have a crease in it, but it turns out to be a third eye that works just like his other two eyes. All three of his eyes are bright blue with silver speckles in them, looking like a bright starlit sky.

His eyebrows are black, but his face and rest of his head are shiny smooth as if no hair ever grows on it. He wears a mantled suit of darkleaf cloth and has a seemingly empty quiver on his lower back.
