A brilliant scientist and engineer, Filio Presty worked at the [[Super_Robot_Wars/Glossary#Tesla_Leicht_Institute|Tesla Leicht Institute]] and was involved in the creation of the [[Super_Robot_Wars/Glossary#Tesla Drive|Tesla Drive]]. Prior to the events of Alpha 2 and Super Robot Taisen: Original Generation, he was recruited by [[#Bian Zoldark|Bian Zoldark]] to help design the Lion series of mecha for mass-production, although the decision would be one he would regret, as these machines would be used during the [[Super_Robot_Wars/Glossary#Divine Crusaders War|Divine Crusaders War]]. However, once the [[Super_Robot_Wars/Glossary#L5 Campaign|L5 Campaign]] was over, Filio subsequently formed [[Super_Robot_Wars/Glossary#Project Terrestrial Dream|Project Terrestrial Dream]], his original project, dedicated to deep space exploration. Working alongside his fiancee, Tsugumi Takakura, he began to design and test the new [[Units_List/Banpresto_Originals#Series_77_Project_TD|Series-77]] prototype machines. His younger sister, Sleigh Presty, was one of the test pilots, as was Ibis Douglas.

Filio's fate would be branched off differently: in the Alpha timeline, during a test flight of the new [[Units_List/Banpresto_Originals#Series_77_Project_TD|Altairion]] machine, Ibis would attempt the Maneuver GRaMXs, but would lose control and crash the mech into the testing zone, where Filio was. He would succumb to his injuries and die; this point served as the beginning of Ibis and Sleigh's internal rivalry with one another. Although Filio would not live to see [[Super_Robot_Wars/Glossary#Project Terrestrial Dream|Project Terrestrial Dream]] completed, his legacy remained in the completion of the [[Units_List/Banpresto_Originals#Series_77_Project_TD|Vegalion]], and eventually, the [[Units_List/Banpresto_Originals#Series_77_Project_TD|Hyperion]]. In memoriam of her fiancee, Tsugumi would hold onto Filio's eyeglasses as a keepsake, wearing them even in combat.

In the Original Generation timeline, Filio continues [[Super_Robot_Wars/Glossary#Project Terrestrial Dream|Project Terrestrial Dream]] after the Divine Crusaders War and [[Super_Robot_Wars/Glossary#L5 Campaign|L5 Campaign]], by relocating to [[Super_Robot_Wars/Glossary#Isurugi Industries|Isurugi Industries]], and subsequently returning to the Tesla Leicht Institute, after [[Super_Robot_Wars/Glossary#Divine Crusaders|Divine Crusader Remnants]] attacked their testing area and attempted to steal the prototype [[Units_List/Banpresto_Originals#Series_77_Project_TD|Calion]] machines. At TLI, he works alongside [[Super_Robot_Wars/Characters/Supporting_Banpresto_Original_Characters#Jonathan_Kazahara|Jonathan Kazahara]] to produce the Fairlion units, using his knowledge as an idol singer otaku to produce their motion pattern data. After the institute is captured by the [[Super_Robot_Wars/Glossary#Inspectors|Inspectors]], Filio helps out with the emergency roll-out of the Dygenguard and Aussenseiter, when Major [[Super_Robot_Wars/Characters/Sanger_Zonvolt|Sanger Zonvolt]] and [[Rätsel Feinschmecker]] proceeded to liberate the institute and retrieve their new machines.

His style and supportiveness to Ibis as a mentor makes him similar to Koichiro "Coach" Ohta from [[Aim_for_the_Top!|Gunbuster]]. Interestingly enough, at the end of Original Generation 2, Filio mentions that he might not see [[Super_Robot_Wars/Glossary#Project Terrestrial Dream|Project Terrestrial Dream]] come to fruitition. It is possible that Filio foresees his demise, like his Alpha counterpart.
