Special move: Chilli Revenge Gas Cloud – an extremely difficult manoeuvre (9.4) that requires intense preparation, El Lorgus has mastered the art of delivering the Chilli Revenge Gas Cloud in complete silence and with no warning, often mid-headbang while facing away from the intended recipient. His preparation is legendary, sometimes planning for an attack by consuming hundreds of varieties of chilli several days in advance. While short range, the Chilli Revenge can leave opponents in serious pain, gasping and spluttering in a choking fashion while El Lorgus stands over them with arms raised triumphantly, singing "Call Mr. Lord, that's my name. That name again is Mr. Lord"

Catchphrase: “You guys don't know anything about metal!"

Musical shame: Female-fronted pop metal such as Evanescence, Within Temptation and Flyleaf

If he wasn't in House of Thumbs, he'd be: in a science lab working with a small, minimum-wage-earning team of Mexicans, trying to engineer a hotter and more dangerous chilli.

Voted most likely: to be the first to order the new-and-improved super-hot Peri Peri chicken fillet burger from Nandos, demand a refund because it wasn't hot enough, then "follow through" accidentally when employing his special move at a battle later that night.

Despite his imposing presence, El Lorgus is an erudite man whose knowledge of metal's history, bands and albums is voluminous. Eternally frustrated by those who do not afford the genre the same respect, he is capable of extreme acts of terror in the pursuit of furthering the promotion of metal. After lecturing the entire front bar of iconic Melbourne metal-house The Tote one evening on the best albums of all time, El Lorgus got so enraged that no-one knew Benighted's Psychose that he hijacked the pub's legendary jukebox, loaded the entirety of Reign In Blood, Ride the Lightning and Demanufacture into it, and stood guard for three hours forcing all to "listen and listen good".

Known as much for his strapping shoulders as for his record collection, El Lorgus' perverse love of his many thick appendages once saw him proudly declare the circumference of his calves "equal to the circumference of the known universe!"

Adopting a maternal role within the band, he has been seen on occasion washing the skid marks out of his bandmates' undies in the studio bathroom while shaking his head and muttering, "Kids today."
