James (number5) - Director of Development
After running his own IT business for 3 years; James changed careers into the life of a fulltime developer/admin where he has developed code and systems for many large corporations such as HSBC, reuters and Sky.
Gaining further knowledge about business, James realised that the majority of large business can lack the personal touch and often overlooks creativity in the search for more money and higher share prices.
As many months of constant pondering and late night chatting passed, it became clear to him that the answer to so many of these issues lies within something more radical and exciting.
This is where the chaps at Illuminati Gaming stepped in, after being inspired by their concepts and ideals James felt 100% that the light at the end of the tunnel lay with them.
When not in front of the computer James spends his spare time enjoying music and art.

Will (wisdom) - Senior Programmer / Director
As the self-confessed daddy of all things Linux Will has a passionate dislike for Microsoft. He comes to IG with the goal of creating something exciting and new but is best known nationwide for his incredible afro, despite being white. Will loves all things related to the sea and is an active BSAC diver.

Ben (H1net) - Founder / Managing Director
Gaming since he was old enough to sit on his father's lap and oogle at the screen as a child, Ben is best known for ranting about the golden-oldies of gaming history. He has completed every Sierra adventure game numerous times and seemingly has a speech impediment as a result, often making strange comments like "You cannot use that here" and "Let's not, and pretend we did" (Space Quest II). Members of the Illuminati Gaming Society know him best for his late night singing about his Lovely Bunch of Coconuts.
