Julian LeFay, a programmer and engineer with a storied games industry career, has died at the age of 59 years old. The news was announced by OnceLost Games, a company LeFay co-founded, following last week's news that he would be retiring "to live his final moments surrounded by his loved ones."
LeFay had such a varied career it defies categorisation: The kind of man who, on the one hand, played in a Danish electro-pop band called Russian Heat—and on the other developed a parser for Ancient Greek. But he will be remembered primarily as "the father of the Elder Scrolls" for his key role in the earliest days of that series.
