Our only hope for Zio to have more of a backstory is a PS4 remake.

Or fanfic.

YES!!! *Rubs hands in anticipation*

Or in Lyla's remake.

What if Zio was an Esper who went rogue and defected?

An unearthed interview revealed this:

Zio was an Esper who strived to be the Lutz. He lost to Rune and then went rogue

Exactly, it's in supplementary materials. Good job for reading up.

There is apocryphal material, I believe by Riko Kodama, that states that Zio was in fact an Esper who washed out. I wish I could find the source material, but it does exist and it is out there.
