Steven (born: ), better known online as ZeRoyalViking or ZeMachinima, is a Canadian-Scottish-American YouTube gaming commentator and Machinima director.

==Biography==
===Real Life===
He graduated high school and spent a short time taking computer science classes in Sacramento State College. He attended online computer science classes at Arizona State University while living in San Francisco with fellow YouTuber, RitzPlays. Ze graduated from Arizona State University in 2019.
Ze has lived in California all his life but has a tri-citizenship for Canada, the UK and the US. Even though Ze is known for being Canadian, he has never lived there nor does he have Canadian blood and says he is more Scottish in that respect. He is Canadian by birth because his mother moved there from Scotland.
In 2018, Ze left California to move to Texas and became roommates with Tom Fawkes.
Ze now lives in Austin, TX with his girlfriend, Hunter, and their three dogs, Hashbrown, Zelda, and Yoshi.

Ze came up with the name Ze Royal Viking randomly when he was thinking for a name for a forum, then he randomly thought of Ze Royal Viking and it stuck. He's said:
"Ze represents the general silliness of my personality and being unconventional. Royal represents the fact that I was born with hemophilia which is the disease that ran through Queen Victoria's bloodline. It is nicknamed the Royal Disease. Viking represents my northern Scottish/Scandinavian heritage. I actually learned to do have some viking descent on my mom’s father’s side."
Steven was first inspired to make machinima by the Red vs. Blue series and DigitalPh33r who, in Ze's own words, showed him that "just a normal kid alone could make great videos". Before joining Machinima, Ze had a YouTube channel in the name "madmonkey1" which was created in 2006. Then he started up his ZeRoyalViking channel in March 2008 and the ZeMachinima channel in May. He created machinima solo, using various effects like 3D to make videos and achieved around 1000 subscribers on YouTube with the Shishka series. When he got 1000 subs in February 2009, Ze got a contract with Machinima around the same time that Kootra did and Ze helped him film Contrast Police and they became friends. The first Creature he met was Sp00n, they were on the DigitalPh33r forums around the year 2008 and they randomly met on a GTA IV game and talked for a while and became friends. He began commentating games as well as making machinima and doing commentaries with other people, such as Chilled Chaos and Kootra. In February 2011, Ze got his YouTube channel partnered.
It took Ze over 3 years to get where he is now, he stated that he never expected himself to be where he is now, and he says the thing that brought him to it is Shishka.
