theENiGMAman, also known as Enigma or Mr. E for short, joined in season one of Randomcraft and was one of the founding members of the series. Enigma acts as the administrator for the Randomcraft server which he refers to as being “the janitor”. He is from the United Kingdom but currently resides in the US. Enigma is known for his building skills and storytelling videos.

Enigma's series feature bizarre, surreal stories with an array of characters or personas played and voiced by Enigma.

## Season 3

Enigma announced his return to Randomcraft for season 3 on his Discord on June 20th 2023 after a hiatus away. On June 30th Enigma released a trailer for season 3 which was created by himself, Lag monster, and Dewlan. The video featured the voice of Enigma as The Order reciting a poem he wrote about the Randoms dying. The video was animated by Enigma, Lag Monster, and Dewlan, and edited and storyboarded by Enigma and Lag Monster.

In a member exclusive post Enigma outlined his plans for season 3 was to re-create his old Dieselpunk city of District 5 in Minecraft, something which he'd promised viewers he'd eventually do during Season one of Randomcraft after players of the original District 5 asked if he would. Enigma went on to share early versions and art of District 5 including videos, council propaganda, building concepts, mechs/machines, and some characters from District 5 such as "the faceless man" and "Maxwell Grimes".

In the members only post, Enigma showcased a book he wrote around 2006 which was redacted as it contained his real name. The books name was also redacted but Enigma referred to the book as "The Dieselpunk Bible", a book which he shared online on forums the same year to act as a comprehensive guide to the then new term "Dieselpunk". His work in the dieselpunk genre helped to cement what dieselpunk is today and his aim is to rework the old book during season 3 of Randomcraft to eventually release publicly.

#### District 5: 2013

Enigma created the original version of the Dieselpunk city "District 5" for a table-top roleplaying game he ran. The city of District 5 was a sealed, domed city run by a totalitarian organization known as "The Council" which was led by twelve extremely powerful people known as "the 12 of 5" and "The Order", a name later used by Enigma for his evil alter-ego in Season one and Season two of Randomcraft. The city of District 5 was divided into several districts; the Warrens, the Underhabs, the Rim district, the Upper district, and the Core. As the city was sealed in a giant alloy dome, the council had an artificial sun which moved across the top of the dome and those living in the lower, poorer districts lived in the metaphorical and literal shadows of the wealthy above them. Each time the public showed disobedience, the council stopped the sun from rising, enacting a curfew. Enigma ran the campaign of District 5 in two eras; "District 5" and "District 5: the aftermath", the campaign was played out over seven years with Enigma ending the campaign in 2020. The campaign series became well known by the players for the ominous catchphrase Enigma used "The council thanks you for your continued support..." as well its dark, gritty story.

#### Episode 0: Launch stream

In the launch of the livestream Enigma and the Randoms began at a tree on a hill. Each Random was assigned a chest containing starting co-ordinates and two shop deeds for the season. After a brief introduction from Lag monster, the season got underway with the "Don't Die" challenge. In the event each Randoms name turned purple for a "time of peace" before later turning green upon the announcement of "the time of war". Each Random started with one life which could be stolen upon a PVP kill. Enigma jumped into a mine and began sourcing materials and diamonds as the Randoms fell around him, leaving only himself, Dewlan, and Sirderpol alive.

During the stream Enigma outlined his plans for the season as well as the general theme for Season 3 which he said was "fluidity", limiting the Randoms ability to pre-plan and working together to create the city of Randomia, each Random taking and building a district of the city.

#### Episode 1: What fresh hell is this!?

In episode one of season 3, Enigma began the season by showing the map plans of the future city of Randomia and outlining his plans for his area "District 5". Enigma ended up trading his life for 3 stacks of froglights and the promise of a beacon with Dewlan, allowing Dewlan to win the Don't Die challenge and thus becoming the mayor of the city. Enigma collected the rest of the materials for his starter base and built it before going to Creamsickle's base and welcoming her to the neighbourhood.

* In season 3 Enigma's sidekick R-Bot returns properly from Season one after needing to be rebuilt in Season two, R-Bot in season 3 now flies rather than being a monowheel robot.

## Season 2

Season two see's Enigma take a new direction, moving away from Sci-fi and becoming what he dubs "the Boxplorer". The story and style of Season two is heavily based on one of Enigma's favourite movie franchises **Indiana Jones**, and features satirical versions of scenes from the franchise. Enigma stated the temporary move away from Sci-fi was to not become *"that sci-fi guy"* and to ensure content progressed as opposed to doing the same stuff over and over which didn't interest him.

The backbone of Season two revolves around Enigma's relationship with the Frog God, a forgotten deity of Randomia, who challenges Enigma to undergo tests to earn tools and materials to rebuilt R-Bot who was smashed to pieces when Enigma crashed the Raptor he stole from Entech in Season one in a swamp at the beginning of Season two.

Enigma went onto Hiatus from Randomcraft in December 2022 due to ill health and chose to not create any further content in season 2 according to a livestream in April 2023. Despite not making content for Randomcraft directly, Enigma stated that he still maintains and plays on the season from time to time.

## Season 1

At the start of Season one Enigma was running away from zombies in a jungle in an unknown dimension, he found an abandoned laboratory which he recognised and hurriedly entered random coordinates to a dimension to power a portal as zombies began to breach the laboratory. Enigma jumped into the portal as he shouted *"see you later suckers!"* followed by *"Enigma out!"* which became his sign off for the series.

After travelling through the portal Enigma fell out of a door in the sky within the world of Randomia. He scanned the world with his **"Scientific device"** and ran off to establish himself and settle into the new world. After meeting the other Randoms and causing havoc by breaking into their bases and leaving "gifts" for them, he established a place of safety and created a disposable version of the Infused diamond to make contact with **"Entech Industries"** robots who were located in another dimension.

Throughout the beginning of Season one Enigma spoke about his friend Steve who was never seen. When the Entech robots were arriving in Randomia at the coordinates Enigma had given them, they told him to leave the area. Enigma left his base and played a series of pranks on all of the Randoms, pinning the blame on another Random for each prank he made. After his pranks he called Steve to ask if he could use his log cabin, despite being told *"no"* by Steve as his family were using it, Enigma decided to use it anyway and redirect Steve's family to a testing facility of Enigma's. Enigma subsequently burned down the log cabin after falling asleep whilst a turkey was in the oven.

Returning to his base after Christmas, Enigma met the now arrived and established **Entech Industries** robots who had stolen mountains from Switzerland to conceal underground testing facilities at **"Entech"**. Shortly after **"Entech"** was established, Nimril broke into the underground testing facilities and pranked Enigma. In a fit of anger **Enigma** went into a closet before emerging as a character he called The Order and went and stole everyone's diamonds in the shopping district, a crime which was later solved by the Sheriff Clearpixels.

Enigma was fascinated by his neighbour Lag monster in Season one, and in one episode stole a piece of Lag monster's magical crystal to test its properties. Before Enigma could run tests on it he accidentally brought an armor stand to life which was located outside his shop at **"Deadheadz"** with the strange crystal. The armor stand introduced himself as Magic and Enigma told him that if anyone asks Magic who he is, to tell them that he's always been here. Enigma then returned the crystal to Lag monster with an apology; however, Lag monster was so angered by what Enigma had done, he used the crystal to create the **"Polymorph curse"**, a book which cursed Enigma and turned him into a rabbit. Rabbit Enigma found he could pass the curse on to someone else and cursed Lady Peanutfish which started the Season one event **"Polymorph Panic"**.

As the series progressed Enigma began introducing new characters and stories such as The Order who became their own entity and tormented Enigma and the other Randoms, as well as Zombie Enigma who was the original Enigma that started the series that died in episode 12, being replaced by another version of Enigma. Throughout Season one there was a hierarchy which was established at **"Entech Industries"** with Enigma at the bottom. Enigma was bossed around and kept in line by a robot called Charles who made Enigma build and do science despite Enigma stating on a number of occasions that he just wanted to be a pirate. Whenever Enigma got brave enough to step out of line, the robots at **"Entech"** would remind him of an unknown event they referred to as *"the incident"* which would make Enigma do as he was told.

In episode 15 Enigma founded a new town in Randomia called **"Copperhead Creek"**, a prospecting town in the new 1.17 area of the server. The town was ran by a persona called the Mysterious Merchant who would give Enigma and other Randoms tasks to complete to build the town up. Whilst living at Copperhead Creek Enigma lived a simple life away from science until Charles and the Entech robots demanded he build a facility for Entech under the ground there which Enigma did.

Between episode 2 and episode 17, Enigma was often crept up on by a mysterious ender chest which would appear in the background and confuse him; however, Enigma refused to open the chest. In episode 18 **"The man in the box"**, a frustrated Enigma opened the mysterious chest and was sucked inside of it. Inside the chest he saw Steve stood in the darkness and Enigma ran over to him; however, Steve vanished as Enigma got close and the screen distorted as Enigma let out a yell of pain. Once Enigma emerged from the chest he was small and ended up going back to the laboratory at Entech to fix himself.

After restoring himself, Enigma became Detective Enigma and vowed to solve the case of the Phantom Florist, a name given to an unknown Random who was pranking other Randoms with various flower related pranks. Detective Enigma discovered that Magic was secretly the Phantom Florist who was only trying to promote his flower shop and make the Randoms bases look pretty.

Around this time Enigma started to have computer issues

In episode 26 of Randomcraft, Enigma addressed the audience in person to explain that he was splitting from Randomcraft for a while to do a splinter series called "Randomcraft: Lost in Time" due to a computer related problem that prevents him from playing on 1.17, however this splinter series never ran.

In October The Randoms held a modded server event called "The Magipocalypse" which Enigma took part in despite their computer issues and created episode 27 "The Magipocalypse".

In January 2022, Enigma returned with Episode 30 "The Return of Enigma". It is never explained where the missing 3 episodes are and Enigma refuses to talk about them; however, Enigma and Shallon discuss many stories from the missing "Lost in Time" episodes.

* Steve - Steve is a mysterious friend of Enigma's that is never really heard or seen. They were first mentioned in Episode 3 during the Entech advert. In episode 18 "The man in the box" Steve is seen on camera for a brief moment before vanishing. In episode 26, when Enigma is absorbing the collective memories from all of the Enigma's, we see a flashback of Enigma mourning over Steve's grave dated 2018 followed by Enigma telling Charles that he must jump dimensions as Steve could still be alive in another world. This explains why Enigma jumps dimensions often.

They made their first appearance in episode 16. In episode 23, Enigma tricked Zombie Enigma into his portal door and sent him to an unknown dimension.
* R-Bot - R-Bot is a cute small robot created by Enigma. Despite R-Bots cuteness, Enigma said in an episode that R-Bot is actually what controls everything at Entech, making it the most powerful thing Enigma has created.
* Charles - Unlike all of the other robots and drones at Entech which have bot or drone in their name, Charles has a humanoid name and is portrayed as a parental figure to Enigma.

### Season 1 Trivia

* Enigma played the part of Mr. Squididdly, Shallons rival brother in episode 19.

* Every robot and drone at entech have names ending in bot or drone, with the exception of Charles, who is presented as a guardian/nanny of Enigma.

* Inside Enigma's lab viewers can see that the power source for Entech is a tank containing what Enigma refers to as "the entity formally known as Enigma", before stating that it isn't a clone. Later in the season we find that there are multiple versions of Enigma from different timelines alluding to the idea that "the entity" is actually a version of him from another dimension. In Episode 26, The End of Enigma, after Enigma steps out of the resurrection chamber we see Enigma looking like The Entity before it cuts to black.

* In episode 11 Enigma accidentally goes back in time and saves his past self from the ghast that attacks him in episode 1. After returning to the present we discover Enigma hates time travel.

* Enigma is obsessed with a friend called Steve, however, Steve is not seen or heard until episode 18 where he appears for a moment before disappearing. In episode 26, when Enigma is absorbing the collective memories from all of the Enigma's, we see a flashback of Enigma mourning over Steve's grave dated 2018 followed by Enigma telling Charles that he must jump dimensions as Steve could still be alive in another world. This explains why Enigma jumps dimensions often.

* In episode 19, when we are introduced to Mr. Squididdly, Enigma says he likes Squididdly’s hat, a straw hat with a red ribbon band, to which Squididdly replies that “a man named Monkey” gave it to him. This is a possible reference to one of Enigma’s favourite Anime series “One Piece” who’s main protagonist “Monkey D. Luffy” wears a straw hat with a red ribbon band.
