Trolling
In addition to being an admin, Sorcus is also widely regarded as a troll. An egg from the 2013 egg hunt called the Troll Egg was based on his character, and hatched into the Sorcus Stool. He was also known to troll on the forums, back when they existed. One example of this is a thread in the Scripters forum. A person asks if Merely and Seranok are the same person and Merely replies that no, they aren't. Sorcus then posts otherwise, claiming that Merely and Seranok are the same person. This is one of many examples of his trolling.

After graduating from CEG, he moved to the United States in 2008 to pursue a master's degree in Computer Science and Entertainment Technology from Carnegie Mellon University.

Before working at Roblox, Sorcus was an programmer intern for the Panda3D game engine from May to August 2009 and for ARIEL, an AR experience builder, from June 2010 to an unknown date.
