Mod Raven is a Principal Narrative Designer at Jagex, working on RuneScape: Dragonwilds.[4] He initially joined as part of the Community Management Team before moving to content development in 2010.[5] His first project was Partying is Such Sweet Sorrow, under Mod Maz's tutelage.[6]

He is notable as having starred in most episodes of Above the Lore, after Mod Osborne. He was the voice actor of Brassica Prime, although his voice is enhanced. He has appeared in most forum Q&As and podcasts related to Prifddinas. After RuneFest 2014, he moved to the community development team, but remained curator of the penguin quest series and the Dragonkin quest series. The team was soon disbanded and he returned to content development as part of The Dukes of SCRUMbridge team. He appeared in Game Jam (October 2018), where he worked on a design for farmhands for player-owned farm.
