Alra Kio was the Governor of Chusuk during the last few years of the Corrino Empire. She was engaged to Preto Heiron, a nobleman from House Heiron, and during the announcement of their nuptials at the Theater of Shards, she was almost killed by the Jongleurs. At the ceremony, the Jongleurs, who had been paid to murder the woman, aligned the theater's famous glass mirrors and amplifiers to create an intense light beam that almost assassinated her.
