Who is this mysterious figure? What does he do? Where is he from? What is his favorite color? Is he a he? This is the thread to meet one of the least known but important pillars of RM.

This is a common problem around here. If you don't post in the same threads as somebody it can feel like you don't know them at all.

For example, anyone who frequently posts in the NBA or running threads would probably have liked Verb more than someone like myself who only interacted with him in N&D.
