Originally a cheat developer himself, Phillip Koskinas switched teams at the very last second to avoid jailtime, ultimately helping carve the very first League of Legends banwaves from the collective meat of the guilty. After Phillip successfully escaped the pain dimension, and completed the punishment of writing three-hundred thousand ETLs, he eventually ascended to lead Riot’s Anti-Cheat team, leading development of Riot's critical anti-cheat technology, Vanguard, on nearly every title since, including: League of Legends, VALORANT, Wild Rift, 2XKO, and Team Fight Tactics.

Whenever we try to fire him, something howls in the basement.
