Joseph Serf
From Tardis Wiki, the free Doctor Who reference
Joseph Samuel Serf was an American born in Dayton, Ohio, 25th May 1972. He graduated from Harvard University in 1993 and founded Serf Systems, then completely disappeared from public view after a near-fatal skiing accident in Val d'slere in 2007. Following this, he became famously reclusive and started developing the SerfBoard. In reality, Serf died in the skiing accident. The current Serf was a simulation maintained by Skullion slaves led by John Harrison, the PR for Serf Systems.
