Although born into an aristocratic family, Io showed a great distaste for high society as a whole since his childhood.
Fleming has a heavy love for free jazz music, which he frequently plays on his pirate radio receiver while using his mobile suit cockpit as a makeshift drum set.

The story is set in the same One Year War in UC 0079 as the first Mobile Suit Gundam anime series. It follows the battles between two ace pilots of the Principality of Zeon and the Earth Federation at the "Thunderbolt Sector," a shoal zone with numerous wrecks of space colonies and warships.
