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 "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.

It ends by celebrating LeFay's wide influence on games, and the joy his creations brought to countless players.
