"Infil" is one of the oldest members of The Elite, having been one of the first 20 people to be listed on the Perfect Dark rankings. He was one of the key members in the early days of the Perfect Dark Elite, setting some truly insane World Records as well as being a major contributor of new strats, i.e. the Pause-Spin Trick, which allowed for Duel Agent 0:03. He reached the peak of his Perfect Dark career at 6th place in 2001 before retiring. He is currently active in the Elite Chatroom. He is the Elite's resident music game and fighting game expert; he has played Dance Dance Revolution at a high level since 2000 and currently plays many other music games at the highest level as well (examples include Guitar Hero, Amplitude (including a world record), beatmania IIDX, and In The Groove). He is also a tournament-level Street Fighter III: 3rd Strike player, having spent more money than he cares to guess playing in arcades since 2002. He is good friends with Elite grandfather SnapDragon, a fellow Calgarian; Infil and Snap played games together frequently while both lived in Calgary (including beating all five Myst games sequentially and FAQ-less), and their friendship continues after Snap relocated for his job at Google. Recently, Infil has developed a close friendship with octo, traveling to visit him in San Diego for 10 days in April 2008 after octo had spent a week in Calgary in December 2007.

Infil's biggest contribution to the Elite is KotHBot, a standalone program which handles the administration of KotH challenges. He has a B.Sc. in Computer Science, with a minor in Pure Math, and hopes to finish up his Masters degree in Computer Science before the end of 2008. When not at his computer pretending to do work, Infil loves sports. He has played on organized hockey and basketball teams for years and still plays recreationally today, and follows all four major sports daily. He also considers himself to be a good amateur poker player, having invested many hundreds of hours into studying and playing the game since 2005. Infil can also speak a smattering of Japanese, having spent a year studying it in university.
