## Biography

### Early life

[ ] was born on July 13, 1997, in Edmonton, Alberta, Canada. He performed well in elementary school, and excelled in reading. As he entered middle school, Seth was diagnosed with Asperger syndrome and was transferred to a different school where he was placed in special education classes. He has reflected on this time as the "best year of my life".

In seventh grade, [ ] was placed in regular classes, which he found somewhat difficult to adjust to. His only friends were a bad influence on him and would often take advantage of him. His situation improved in high school, but his grades faltered and he narrowly passed the requirements for graduation in 2015.

### Adulthood

[ ] attended MacEwan University the following fall but dropped out in March 2016. His parents subsequently ordered him to find work, and he applied at several locations but did not hear back from any until October, when Toys R Us responded to his application. [ ] interviewed for a night stocker position, and was hired. He very quickly grew to hate this job, and lasted for five days before being fired. It is [ ]'s only employment experience. Around this time, he briefly enrolled in online classes at Athabasca University, studying Russian history.

In October 2017, [ ]'s mother enrolled him in a program designed to help people with disabilities find job opportunities. He achieved a certificate and was assigned a job counselor, to whom he expressed his desire to work with animals and insects. The counselor suggested he pursue a career in pest control; the opposite of what he wanted.

[ ] also volunteered at an animal shelter. Though he enjoyed this work, it was an inconvenient commute, as it was located a considerable distance away and he had no car. The following year, in 2018, he began volunteering at a downtown museum, primarily working with insects. In his early 20s, [ ] began suffering from depression and anxiety attacks, as well as several kidney stones. The museum shut down during the COVID-19 pandemic, and he attempted to apply for a job at Sea Life Caverns at the West Edmonton Mall, but his application was rejected. The museum reopened roughly a year later and he returned to volunteering.

In 2021, at the behest of his mother, [ ] enrolled at University of Alberta for a single fall semester. His stated reason for doing so was to receive money from an education fund, which totaled $2,500.

## Online activities

Around 2013, Idrimi became an avid reader of *Homestuck* and joined the now-defunct fan site Pesternote. He was also active on r/MLPlounge, a fan subreddit for the animated television series *My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic*.

Idrimi created his Discord account on October 28, 2015, under the username **Hammurabi**, and joined an unofficial server for the MLPlounge subreddit, called Hookerjack. He was one of its most active members and served as a moderator. As Pesternote was about to shut down, he created a server for the website and invited its users. In January 2017, he joined and became an active member of The Amazing World of Gumball! server. He left in September 2018 following the Ban Onslaught. He held a grudge against the server and did not join the new one until March 16, 2022.

Idrimi joined JC's Discord server on April 23, 2019. It is here where he began using the username 'Idrimi', derived from the ancient Alalakh king Idrimi. He is a very active member of the server and is an administrator. From May 2020 to May 2021, he ran a daily presentation called "On This Day in Medieval History". He has described JC's server as "the only place [...] where I actually feel at home".

Idrimi left Hookerjack in 2019. He returned in December 2021 shortly before it was deleted.
