Aios, the Deity of Balance and Neutrality is as ancient as the multiverse. He epitomizes True Neutrality, deeply committed to his role as the universe's central balancer. His actions and motives are enshrouded in mystery, making them difficult for others to understand. He instructs his followers to prioritize the concept of balance in their actions, rather than being guided by conventional morality or ethics. Aios is known for speaking in riddles, often obscuring the true meanings behind his words, adding to his enigmatic persona.

Aios's is not merely a passive observer of the cosmic balance between good and evil, chaos and law. Instead, Aios adopts a proactive role, actively intervening in events to preserve equilibrium. This approach sets him apart from the traditional neutral stance, as he is willing to engage directly to prevent any one force from overpowering another. His actions, though shrouded in mystery and conveyed through cryptic riddles, are thus purposeful, aimed at maintaining the delicate harmony of the multiverse.

In his more accessible guise, he adopts the form of a beardless and bald old man, modestly dressed in common clothing, with a hood that conceals his face behind a brilliant light. In his true form, however, he manifests as a magnificent and singular diamond dragon. His body is adorned with scales that are a harmonious blend of two distinct styles: some scales mirror the perfection of finely cut gems, while others embody the raw, unrefined beauty of natural diamond. His eyes, consistent in both his humanoid and dragon forms, resemble smooth crystal mirrors, reflecting an ancient wisdom and a depth that seems to transcend the physical realm.
