Madio is a standalone, fully voiced High Elf companion based on a set of scripts collected and refined by ElderScrollsFan001. He's Mana's foster brother.
Madio awaits you at the serene Chapel of Arkay in Cheydinhal, ready to join your adventures. Simply speak to him to recruit him, browse his inventory, and customize his loadout with different outfits, weapons, or clothing. If he doesn't swap gear right away or gets hurt without healing, just talk to him again and select 'Equip your gear' to force the action. He comes with his own horse mount, but only Madio can ride it (you can't). Best to avoid asking him to call it in cities. Once he's on board, you'll receive a special ring to summon him instantly if he falls behind during exploration or tough fights, since he can't teleport automatically to the player.
True to his Altmer roots, Madio excels in the arcane arts. As a conjurer, he can summon a rare and devastating Cold-Flame Atronach. This elite atronach calls forth a sturdy Spriggan guardian, and the Spriggan in turn summons a ferocious bear. That's three loyal allies fighting alongside Madio and you. He also wields classic destruction magic in various forms, hurling offensive spells to annihilate enemies from close range or afar.
PLAY AS MADIO
You can also play as Madio by selecting his custom race in the character creation menu and resetting his face. He uses Robert's Male SLATH body type. I recommend the Blockhead OBSE plugin. It's not strictly required, though, since his body parts are added to a dedicated bag in your inventory.
N.B. Unequip mod items before changing race to avoid CTDs.
Here's a full list of his wearable body parts, clothes, armor, and spells with the corresponding console codes. XX is a placeholder for the modindex, a two-digit number that indicates the position of an esp/esm in your load order. OBMM can help you identify the correct modindex.
