"Author is a genius. Author is a genius. AUTHOR IS A GENIUS."

- Crazed author quoting the truth

SIU stands for Slave. In. Utero; it is the pen name of the author of ToG [1]. He is a male.

He regularly blogs biographies about random characters who feature in ToG or have yet to. It's all part of his extensive worldbuilding scheme: apparently Tower of God is merely a part of his grand Talze Uzer Story.

"Author is a genius. Author is a genius. AUTHOR IS A GENIUS."

He also enjoys trolling readers by introducing gender ambigious characters. Lately, he has even ironically trolled his own characters (Wangnan discovering that Nya Nia is a guy and Yihwa mistaking Viole for a girl) and even created a character like Kim Lurker (holy crap, the genderbending! WHAT WOULD ZAHARD LOOK LIKE?! DEAR LORD! AND THE THOUGHT OF LUSLEC AND KOON EDUAN... WAIITT... DON'T SAY ANYMORE! NOOO!!!).

He apparently likes football and names his characters after football players. He also nicknames his characters after fish. Who woulda thought of that?

And what's up with Ja Wangnan's name? Read backwards, it actually reads (Nan-"I am") (Wangja-"prince"). And SIU's response? "That's some genius wordplay, AMIRITE"

SIU has stated that while he enjoys video games, he doesn't currently play any.

He doesn't seem to like being considered old but hey who does?
