Toby Joseph Herman

🇮🇪



Toby Joseph Herman is a modder. He lived in Daytona Beach, Florida. He was in his late 20s when he made mods for Quake. He had a Pentium 166mhz with 32MB of RAM, a 2.5GB hard drive, and a 28.8 bps modem.

Herman had been married since he was 20 to Alanna, he had a daughter named Athena. He had only gotten involved with computers upon turning 22; he started creating webpages upon turning 25. He is notable for creating a fan site known as the Quake Chronicles, though the site was notably short-lived, and had been entirely removed by the end of 1996. The site hosted a webcomic by the same name.

He has gone by the alias Guardian of the Dragons Rage or Guardian as a shorthand; this was done primarily as he was involved in a roleplaying game known as Dragon Spawn. He originally referred to himself as Guardian of the Dragons Eye, but later changed his name as his character (Axandrias) was a warrior and because he was the head of the House of the Dragons Rage.

Due to his focus on Beavis and Butt-Head, he has also referred to himself as THE GREAT CORNHOLIO.

He also created the nicekeys bindings, a list of various bindings and aliases the player could use with their .cfg file. He recorded himself playing E1M5: Gloom Keep with these bindings in a Demo file.
