Lio Fotia

Lio Fotia is the leader of Mad Burnish in Promare and one of the film's central figures. Branded a terrorist because of his fire-based mutation, he fights to protect Burnish people persecuted and exploited by Governor Kray Foresight.

Lio Fotia as leader of Mad Burnish

Proud, intense, and deeply protective, Lio rejects the idea that the Burnish are naturally destructive. His hostility toward firefighter Galo Thymos changes when both discover the machinery behind Kray's plan.

Lio controls living flames and pilots the armored mech Mad Burnish before joining Galo in larger combined machines. Their alliance transforms an apparent hero-versus-villain conflict into resistance against systematic oppression.
