Jarod Nandin was a popular cosplayer and member of the video game community. His costume reflected the character’s stealth abilities and made him practically invincible in low-level areas. In addition to his costume, Nandin brought a sturdy desk on wheels for the costume. He appeared as WOW guy at events like Long Beach Comic Con, Anime Los Angeles, and WonderCon. In fact, this was his fifth appearance as WOW guy at a convention. Nandin shaves his head before the conventions and lets it grow back afterward. He also wears baseball caps.
