Overview
Although he rarely posts, Trovaner is an active member of the GTM forums. He first joined in December of 2006. Once considered to be one of the most critical evaluators for bots and mods, Trov hasn't shown as much interest in nitpicking as of late.
From 2008 to 2011, he and SpyGuy became Madiaba's primary alpha/beta testers. However, while under the tutelage of Madiaba, he learned some of the basics of modding and was able to co-work on many of Madiaba's later projects. Madiaba has even said that "Trov is *surpassingly* reciprocating...". Currently, he is working on a few of his own projects for RA2.
