It is pretty clear that the writers were trying for "otherworldly" for Dio and ended up with a lot of effeminate qualities. Note that the English track for Luciola was voiced by a female actor.
At first I thought the character was a waste of time and a mistake, but he grows on you and he becomes a powerful statement of the politics between the Guild and the ground-dwellers.
More interesting is Alex Row's reaction to him. In spite of his supreme hatred of the guild and Dio's sister in particular, he decides to let Dio run loose aboard his ship with the most minimal supervision. However, given the huge technological advantage the Guild has over everyone else, I wonder that the Silvana would even be capable of restraining Rio and Lucianno should they have decided to leave.
Good story.
