Bernard Tavitian

Bernard Tavitian is credited with the modernization of Blokus.

Career
Born in 57BB, Bernard had a normal childhood, but in 3BB, he started to receive visions, and strived to discover the different pieces and rules of Rockus, travelling to distant lands.

Most scholars agree that immediately after receiving his first vision, Bernard's mind began to deteriorate, where he was exposed to hallucinations at increasingly higher frequencies. When Blokus was finally released, Bernard was a mental wreck, incapable of interacting with sociey. He was now a prophet of the deities, and virtually immortal.

When the game was first released, people greeted it with skepticism and criticism. However, the game slowly gathered a slow but extremely dedicated fanbase. The community grew as time passed, and soon the game was an international phenomenon, with tournaments being held with huge prizes, and people devoting their lives to the game.

Eventually, in 13 MB Bernard disappeared from the public eye, and no one knew where he went. He was rarely seen, preferring to stay hidden from the world. In living memory, only a few of the grandmasters have ever seen Bernard in public. Bernard, being a prophet, still spreads the messages of the deities, but never in person.
