==History==
Dante Pablo Rudriguez is a caucasian male, born in the north of England during the late end of 1995. He is currently 28 years old.
Dante spent most of his childhood in a relatively small town, that is well-known for its mining heritage. In this same town, he would study subjects such as Fine Art, ICT, Graphic Design and Interactive Media in Secondary School. When he enrolled into College, he would go on to study IT, Interactive Media, Graphic Design and Media Studies.
At the age of 17, his father would persuade him to get into bird breeding and taming (which is a hobby that his father also did in their teenage years); setting up his first ever cages, teaching him the basics of how to take care of a bird and giving him the old family shed to start the business off with. Despite his father breeding various species of british birds, Dante would often prefer to focus on parrots (Psittaculture). Since then, Avarice has went onto tame and breed domestic birds such as Budgerigars, Cockatiels and Kakariki.
== Video Games ==
His love for video games started with the original Pokémon Red for the Gameboy Color in 1998, where Dante can recall his older brother having a save file on the game which had a level 100 Rapidash. This made him want to get his own game and try to collect all the strong Pokémon for himself. 
When he got his hands on his very first Pokémon game, he would choose Squirtle as his favourite starter Pokémon, simply due to how easy the first part of the game is with that starter. However, Dante would later prefer Charmander as a starter for the first generation games, as he preferred its evolution: Charizard. In late 2003, Dante would try out Pokémon Ruby and Sapphire (the third generation games), along with Pokémon Emerald, which would later become his favourite Pokémon game.
In 2004, Dante would receive the original Xbox video game console and the first Fable game for Christmas. Since he had never heard of the game before that point, he sort of shrugged and didn't know what to think of it at the time. This is because he was expecting something like Halo, which he had actually heard about from friends in school. But once he ended up playing the original Fable, it would become his favourite video game and changed his perspective on the RPG genre.
== YouTube ==
The channel was created in 2014 and was originally called Caprice, that was created purely for fun to show videos of games which he had been completing since the channel's creation. The username was inspired by a song from the The Elder Scrolls III: Morrowind Soundtrack. He later changed his username to Avarice in 2017, this time being chosen as a reference to a Ritual Spell from the Real-time Strategy game, War for the Overworld.
He got small recognition for a video about Thrill Kill in May of 2018, which was later featured and credited in Matt McMuscles "What Happened?" video about the same game. To date, this is still Avarice's most popular video on the channel.
In October of 2018, he decided to go back and try his hand at modding the PC version of the game Fable, which resulted in a mod that was called Fable: The Expanded Chapters and was only in its Alpha stage. After the positive reception from this video, he decided to focus more on Fable Modding related videos, since no one (at the time) uploaded them anymore. 
This also lead to working on a Fable: Cut Content series, where he covers as much content that goes unused or was removed from the game files of Fable: The Lost Chapters and even tried contacting some of the game's developers to try and help make the information as accurate as possible. His inspirations for researching and making videos on cut content in games was the FableTLCMod Forums, Project Ego and Morrowind Modding Showcases.
His Fable: Cut Content series has since been praised by a couple of the game's developers that worked at Lionhead Studios, who said that he found out about information that they themselves were not even aware of or just could not remember about.
In December of 2019, he started another video series called Trying Out A Mod! where he tries to cover as many mods as he could. Some being livestreams and others being normal YouTube videos. These also included the first videos where he spoke using a microphone.
In November of 2020, he started working on a mod called Fable: The Lost Content, which takes advantage of his cut content research for Fable and tries to make as much of that content playable as possible. The site PCGamesN covered this mod in an article.
In 2021, he hit 1000 subscribers. During this time, he started to work on other series such as Fable: Shorts and Fable: The Forgotten Chapters, which takes advantage of Fable's cutscene system to create machinima videos.

===Fable: Cut Content===
"Fable: Cut Content" is a video series on YouTube.

One of the Co-Creators of the original game, Dene Carter, also watched some of his Cut Content videos and praised the amount of progress that he made on the series.

This includes things like extra items to collect, expanded cutscenes and new areas to explore.
===Fable: The Forgotten Chapters===
"Fable: The Forgotten Chapters" is a series that tries to take advantage of Fable's cutscene system by using modding tools to recreate unused content and new story threads, alongside the game's already existing storyline.
