Temperrr joined in August 2010 and began driving the content. With a graphic design relationship and creative background, he helped create the FaZe Clan logo.

Note: This is one of the subcultures that brought Banks in. One of the leaderboards they played on was run by Banks at the time. Temperrr had his own team during this time.
