Vio is a RuneScape player and former member of the Wilderness Guardians from 2009 to 2020. He served as Historian of WG from 2010 to 2011, leader of the Descendant Guardians from 2011 to 2013, and Warlord and Second in Command of WG in 2013. Vio is also a videomaker in the RuneScape community with around 5,000 YouTube subscribers - he collaborated with His Lordship on a number of occasions and produced several popular RuneScape videos such as The Wilderness - An Unauthorised Biography. Vio resigned from WG to join Deathrow in 2020, but continues to work on documenting WG's history and maintaining the wiki as of 2025.

Early History

Vio was introduced to RuneScape in the summer of 2003 by a childhood friend, and made the account Kecooler at the age of 10. He took a relatively early interest in clans, and in 2006 befriended the Abyssal Guardians who introduced him to F2P PvP. He did not meet AG's requirements for membership, and instead spent much of the summer of 2006 in smaller clans around the 70+ mark - these included Black Fire Knights, Leigion^[sic] of Chaos, and TuneScape - however most of these clans were largely inactive or had timezone issues. Vio considered his first "real" clan to be the Red Blade Hunters, which he joined on 29 October 2006 and spent several months with, as well as developing his reputation of a videomaker - recording RBH's events with Hypercam 2 and editing them with Windows Movie Maker.

In 2007 Vio ventured further into the F2P clan world - first by founding a clan of his own (Moratorium) with moderate success. He also joined several other clans during 2007, namely Unknown Bounty Hunters, Charmed & Dangerous, Avenged, and receiving the "Ending Member" rank for the Cutthroat Syndicate for time spent with them. Following the removal of Wilderness PvP and free trade on 10 December 2007 Vio rejoined RBH, remaining with them through 2008, and ascending to the ranks of Event Organiser and High Council.

Vio had been aware of WG since around 2006 (due to the popularity of The TeamSpeak Rant and the London 2008 real life meeting video, amongst other things) - and in March 2009 Vio introduced himself and expressed his intention of joining WG. However, he chose to train up a new account from scratch (WG Keanu) in a similar fashion to The Sabres, who required their members to create a Sabre-named account prior to the ability to change an account's display name. Vio also joined TS for a few months in 2009 as they were more F2P-active than WG, though he had an aversion to their frequent wars in the Clan Wars arena rather than PvP worlds, and resigned from TS to focus on his training for WG.

WG History

Vio reached WG's requirements of level 100 combat on 16 October 2009, and was first accepted into WG by His Lordship a day later.

RuneScape 2

At the start of his career with WG and despite having a preference for F2P, Vio slowly began to develop his P2P skills with WG, and continued to produce videos as he had done for previous clans - now using Camtasia and Fraps to record, and Sony Vegas to edit. He also took an interest in WG's history - His Lordship provided him with Wildflame110's raw footage from WG's first war, which Vio edited into a presentable video on 2 November 2009. This was the first time footage of WG's first war (and footage of the clan in 2004) was made public, and His Lordship was pleased with his efforts.
