- "A hero to a monster… Lord, how the great have fallen…"
- — Alexi Scott
Akio Yujo, later known as High Lord Aeon Thanotos, was the grandson of Sora and Kairi Yujo and the second son of Christopher and Destiny Yujo, growing up among the generation of the Yujo Family in the final era of the First Multiverse War, believed it to be his duty to help secure the peace to prevent another chaotic war much like than previous major conflicts such as the First War, the Remnant Wars, the Civil War and the Infection War.
Living up to his family's legacy and following their footsteps as a Keyblade wielder when he was trained by Ventus Tormentum as his apprentice. Akio took on many missions with his family and allies as his duty to the Alliance to maintain peace against the threats. He met the then Ambassador and future Senator Eleanor McLoyd during his role as a bodyguard, formed a relationship with her and eventually married later on, siring 40 children with the future Senator over the centuries.
Although he had gained a famed reputation for his heroic and noble deeds like many in his family, his ties and relations to his friends and family came into question had shifted since the Nationalists War began after the foundation of the Multiversial Federation. The war changed him, seeing the treatment of the entirety of the TransRace to be given equal rights after they endured slavery to the Combine and victims had changed when they were once treated fairly but changed, questioning the Federation's view as well as the Nationalist Alliance as corrupt and traitors, but after the death and assassination plots that costed the lives of his son and daughter, his dislike turned into hatred heavily influenced by this deeply personal tragedy. This also caused him to distance himself from his family but his wife, Eleanor who he found was pregnant and strongly influenced by Peter Tsar, the leader of the Nationalist and strong supporter of TransRace equality. the man was considered a fallen hero due to his actions in creating the TransRace Empire and his allegiance with the Cruel Lord.
Much like the origins of Darth Vader, Akio was forced into a body covering life support system as a result of his duel with Alexi Scott and Ventus on De'ijkki Earth where he remained entombed till the day he died near the end of the Third Multiverse War, sacrificed himself in the Battle of Gallifrey to destroying his former master/lord, the Cruel Lord, bringing an end to the war. Mortally wounded, Akio made peace with his children and his family before his passing, though his reputation, his legacy, and his family endured for decades afterwards.
Biography[]
Early[]
Akio was conceived by his parents Christopher and Destiny Yujo and born on the Malican world Caligo in October 5th, 624 AXC, growing up among his family and led a decent life and later a Keyblade if his own when he was at the age to be trained by the masters.
First encounter with Eleanor
He spend the several years studying in hopes to become a Keyblade Master in several decades.
Accompanied along his group to aide help of a struggling world by the request of the Alliance in 1958 NE over need of support, it was then he met the Eleanor McLoyd when they fought alongside each other against the enemy forces, he became instantly smitten by her.
Keyblade Master[]
Mission to Zaat'uiiko[]
Akio arrived upon the backwater world in the Zaat'uiiko Universe for the Alliance's request for Keyblade wielders including Akio and read the reports of the Aeden Union's involvement of the universe in a state of decay, arrived during the second wave to fight off the pirate ship, he witnessed the skills of the Legendary Heroes and was unimpressed by their lack of coordination while the Shield Hero known as Naufumi Iwatani who was taking it serious and trained by professionals, he was further annoyed how the three treat it like a game and insulted them, especially the princess while he ordered the unit forces to take down the demons pouring from the rifts. After the battle he gave a personal compliment to the hero on his skills, he didn't approve of Itsuki's lack of commitment to help, especially how Motoyaso was flirting with his female subordinates and their parties hardly did anything at all.
Having to receive word that Melromarc's king had declared war with the Aeden Union and the Alliance for 'kidnapping' princess Melty and in league with the so-called Shield-Devil, he thought the king was a fool knowing even with their magic they were severely at a disadvantage.
Nationlist Uprising[]
Betrayel[]
Peacekeeper massacre[]
Akio took command of the newly established legion to arrive at the Land of Departure of which a meeting of many Peacekeepers was being held, along with his parents, siblings and grandparents. On the march with his new army towards the palace, confronting his parents who were surprise to see him, refusing to answer their question of what he was doing and asked if they were still supporting the Federation, without hesitation he struck first with his magic and killed them on the spot.
Become Thanatos[]
Akio, taking the new role as Aeon Thanatos
After he was saved, his body was severely damaged from he flames and exposure to certain virals that affected his ability o breath, Tsar's soldiers were able to take him back to the labs to be modified, grafted bio-cybernetics into his body; replaying his arms, legs and his vital organs such as the heart and lungs as they were unable to replicate the original. Grafting cybernetics even if it may limit his ability to use his light magic but not his physical abilities to fight , even with such advance medical science, there is limit to saving lives (which Tsar intended in secret to be certain he remains loyal and strong). To ensure he survived for extensive periods of time, Akio must wear the modified suit to allow him to breath easier.
Officially made as the High Lord and right hand man of the newly ascended Emperor, he officially taken the name Aeon Thanotos and declared his old self dead when received the tragic news that his wife had died, along with his unborn (however, unaware that she gave birth to twins and the infants survived), many of his eldest had survived or went into hiding along with the majority of the Yujo Clan as he declared them enemies of the Empire.
The TransRace Empire[]
Third multiverse war[]
Conquest of the Nationalist Remnants[]
Conflicting Loyalties[]
Since his return and restored to health, Thanatos began to experience moments of doubts of the course of the war and saw how long its been going on. He thought it was to make the TransRace to be seen as people and freed from slavery, but with the Empire waging war for conquest and becoming the tyrants like their creators, he knew questioning the emperor was pointless but saw the plans to build a more advance Grim Reaper weapon. Remembering his previous arguments of his relatives of his past actions.
Receiving an order to command a fleet, Aeon realised they were attempted to invade the Doon'kin Universe, much to his surprise nut actually outside the barrier. He knew it was dangerous to enter those verses due to the Time Vortex but questioned the Emperor how he was able to acquire quantum-based technologies, his response was from a long time ago in a previous war.
Battle of Gallifrey[]
Redemption and Death[]
During the Battle of Gallifrey, Aeon eventually battled against his long lost son, Theodore Yujo. The two fought through the command deck of the Grim Reaper II as Tsar watched in amusement, Keyblade against maul before Theodore managed to overpower Aeon.
Tsar commended Theo for defeating Aeon and offered the former the chance to join him. Theodore refused, causing amusement in Tsar before he revealed himself to be the Cruel Lord. Taking in their shock, Yiloala gleefully informed Akio that he completely lied about all of this being for Transrace equality and just wanted the cybernetic revenants to be used as tools for another war. This revelation broke Akio as he had slaughtered his entire family, including all of his fellow peacekeepers for the goals that Tsar had convinced him to join him in all those years ago. Flying into a rage, Aeon fought the Cruel Lord just as Alexi Scott arrived on the scene.
In a fight that cost Akio his life, Yiloala was thrown into the core of the Grim Reaper II just as Alexi fired Kilmoraker's Black Hole gun into the station, destroying it and ending the Third Multiverse War. In his final moments, Akio begged his son to leave him behind as he was nearing his death after the realization that all he had done was for nothing and felt he didnd't deserve his forgiveness, but Theo refused and said to come and save him, but he told him that he 'already has' and to tell his family that he was right.
Legacy[]
Akio Yujo left a legacy of which he married and only had two children with his late wife Eleanor, his love for his family and his heritage of being one of the most powerful families from the Malica Universe became a target to some, such as Yiloala for his abilities as well as The Fallen Entity who preyed upon his fear and emotions until the Cruel Lord successfully made him turn to his side and against his own extended family and loved ones. During his time as Aeon Thanotos, he helped created the TransRacee Empire of which he had thought to bring about the equality for all Transrace. Ironically, his actions had only caused legalized and legitimized Federation wide Transrace discrimination for centuries to come.
While Akio may have been redeemed, he left a dark legacy behind following the Peacekeeper Massacre, including the death of his grandparents, Sora and Kairi, his parents and most of his generation's brothers and sisters, excluding Isamu who survived the slaughter and lived with his family, his wife Eleanor died while their twins survived. His betrayal to the Yujo Clan left a wound to last for decades to ever forgive him, some still harbour hatred towards his actions even Theresa, despite willing to forgive her father after discovering he was used and manipulated, she would never forget, nor forgive, the things he had done, even when she couldn't bring herself to speak to his spirit with so much pain, much to his regret and remorse, It would take decades to come to terms when she remembered his role of for number of deaths and the genocide of the entire Fop'lla Milky Way galaxy, however she named one of her sons after him as a means of finally forgiving him.
Personality and traits[]
After becoming Aeon Thanatos due to Yiloala's manipulations Akio's world view had slowly warped and became more extreme until he was convinced that the only way to support the TransRace people was to helped Yiloala (as Peter Tsar) created an empire, even by means of betraying and murdering the majority of his family and friends, the peacekeepers, and overthrow the Federation's government which he spent centuries fighting for, in his belief he was doing what was right.
So far had remain unaware of his son and daughter existed at the time after the death of his wife caused a great trauma to his mind. But when he discovered Theodore was his son and presumed to be the only child, Thanatos was determined to bring his son to his side to rule the Empire together for a greater future.

Quotes[]
- "Look, just because we helped you out of this false trail, doesn't mean you're not a criminal in our eyes..."
"What do you mean?"
"Slavery is strictly illegal where we're from, and your active participation in it does not do you any favors"
"I-I dislike slavery I-"
"It doesn't matter if you personally don't agree with it, actions speak more than words and the fact that you continue to engage in it means to me and everyone else that's with me that your private thoughts mean jack shit! I know there are societal differences between you and me, I come from a society that puts importance on people's freedoms and rights over conformity like yours typically does but you know its wrong, and yet you still support it through actions even as you say otherwise."
- — Conversation between Akio and Naofumi after the latter's trial
- "I'm... Sorry, grandfather... This is for the greater good of the TransRace people... "
- — Aiko talking to Sora Yujo just before killing him during the Peacekeepers Massacre
- Reports of the Yujo clan are planning a secret gathering, it is obvious that they are now planning to return and attack the Empire. Yet, the location of this meeting must be traced. Do not underestimate them, they may have been beaten, but their spirit is far from broken despite many who have died by my hand. And especially never underestimate the descendants of Sora, Roxas and Xion Yujo. if Theodore is there, I want him ALIVE. And especially his brother, Caydon who was reported seen with him.
- "Open your eyes and for once listen! HE doesn't care about you, once he's achieved whatever his plans are and cast you aside like trash."
- "Never! I have fought alongside him, he saved my life! I am achieving this dream for the TransRace to finally be treated as equals."
- "By starting wars? betray your friends and loved ones like you did? Let me ask you this... Akio. Tsar had the power to wipe out a galaxy and kept the war going for centuries, yet why didn't he used the spare resources to fix his condition? Her yours for that matter? You would have been able to breath the sweet air and not confined to that bio suit from the beginning."
- —Siegfried questioning Aeon Thanatos's loyalty to Tsar.

Notes[]
- If it isn't clear already, much of his story is similar to that of Darth Vader, including being forced into a total body life-support system, although with considerably more flexibility and movement.
- Unlike Vader (from times) Aeon treated all of his subordinates fairly and compassionately, and never try and have them killed, although he does punish them if they fail a task but rarely does it result in execution, something that originated from his earlier personality as a advocate for TransRace rights.
- Both when he was Akio and when he was Aeon, he specialized in light-based magics using them in both the Nationalist Wars and the Third Multiverse War.
- He's named after Sora's maternal grandfather and Christopher's paternal great-grandfather
