Biography[edit]
"W92" is from an old Counter-Strike clan tag. Baj himself can be seen in real life in a video he has shown of his old clan from the late 90's.[5] His nickname is "Badger," and was shortened to "Baj" to fit on arcade scoreboards which tend to accept only three letters.[6] Baj went to college to learn graphic design[7] and his first job was in graphic design.[8] He is a print designer by trade.[9] Baj is a resident of Leeds in West Yorkshire but is originally from the South East of England.[10]
Baj's first major public appearance was at the 2012 London Meetups. A closeup picture of his facial hair was tweeted by Guude,[11] and later Baj was visible in the background of Guude's meetup information video.[12]
Baj appears to be suffering effects of Dysthymia. He has stated that "I have had [depression] most of my life. Most of the time it is managable. But sometimes events happen that can trigger lapses."[13] Dysthymia being a form of depression with less severe but longer-lasting symptoms. He has said that he "handle[s] it well," aside from a time in late 2012 or early 2013 in which he had suicidal thoughts.[14] He describes that loneliness and the fear of the future have factors in his depression, but he assures everyone that "indeed it will pass. It will come again and it will pass again."[15]

Baj joined the server in May 2011 after submitting a video for Guude's contest.[16] Baj created his current YouTube channel in order to join the contest.[17] His first major builds, which took place on the Season 2 server, included an alien-like arcology and a cathedral. On the Season 3 map, Baj had many large properties spread throughout the server, including a refurbished village with a nearby golf course and a temple in the middle of an ocean.
Baj was the second person on the server (after Guude) who was given op power. He became op because VintageBeef was stuck above the Nether for days while Guude was at MineCon and Beef needed someone to get him off the roof. Baj was the easy choice for Guude.[18] Baj doesn't abuse his power and only uses it sparingly. One such occasion is when he enabled Creative mode in order to disable Pakratt's noise machine prank on Team Canada. Baj had teleported members occasionally, such as when all the participants are needed at Guudeland for the start of UHC season 7.[19]
Baj is a member of Team Nancy Drew.
Minecraft skin[edit]
Baj's skin is based on a bastardized World War II UK paratrooper uniform.[20] He changed his skin to get a camouflage-look for UHC Season 3.[21]
Previous/Alternate skins[edit]
Baj's previous Minecraft skins include an eyeball wearing a tux, a nude man, and the character No-Face from the Japanese animated fantasy film Spirited Away.[22]
Judge's robes from the Etho v. B-Team trial
