Art above drawn by, Abelardo (this dude's art is really good!).

1. Some names he goes by are, He Who Waits Behind the Wall, The Nezperdian Hivemind of Chaos, The One Who Will End the World (these are all somewhat specific. The dude probably gave himself all these nicknames, especially the last one).

2. His gender is unknown, but is presumed male.

3. His one and only goal seems to be to destroy humanity and the world... which is on-going... (on-going... something about that makes me want to laugh).

4. He is often associated with the "Zalgo text", which is basically just something called "combining characters". The most common combining characters in Latin script are the combining diacritical marks, which is what the first example of the Zalgo text uses (I think). The rest of the examples have both diacritical marks and letters:

5. Whenever someone (most likely a follower or maybe a troll) is using this text though, they often type these words:
