No biography of his has ever been published.

gollark: Anyway, desirable properties of the number assignment system are: idempotence, and allowing you to move channels while retaining number. This is NOT possible with multiple per guild as far as I can see.

gollark: Ah, well, problem is that if it's in TWO places with an epicbot bridge there *may* be infinite loops.

gollark: I could also eventually refactor it to allow two, I think the obstacle is just the numbering mechanism.

gollark: Possibly. I like <#733816666089062511> being phones more, for now.

gollark: I'd like to, but there's only one phone channel per server right now.
