League of Legends Milio: Background lore
Milio is a young boy from a small village. The village is on the border of Ixtal, as his family were once exiled from that region. Milio gains mastery over the fire axiom in his own way, and with his newfound power finds himself under pressure from his family to restore their name. This sends Milio off on a dangerous adventure into the wilds, but he does not go alone.
Milio uses his power to create an eternal flame, which he carries around in a specially constructed backpack that he calls his Furnasita. The fire becomes a sentient being, which Milio dubs his Fuemigo. Milio can create even more Fuemigos to help him use his powers, which he imbues with the traits of his family members to remind him of home.
