== About Ishan ==
 +
 
 +
One of the fascinating things about Ishan is that he always seems to be around or about the get online when a modding question or issue arises.
 +
Ishan started his quest on August 16, 2008 - the day he joined twcenter. Knowledgable and always willing to seek for the knowledge that is missing he is the boon for every noob on twc. Is he nocturnal? Maybe. If so, then by morning he has all forgotten about sleep as he has to figure out the next problem while working on his favorite modding projects. Superman? Na... superman doesn't have a PC as good as Ishans.
 +
As an engineer and an enthusiastic gamer he has developed an insatiable love for computers and thus often hangs around in the basement, the computer help section of twc - if he isn't busy playing Assassin's Creed or the Witcher. But no game can hold him away for long. The only thing that can keep him away from modding or helping others on TWC is a power outage or his ISP.
 +
 
 +
''As someone who has devoted a lot of time to answering questions in the M2TW workshop I kept seeing posts by Ishan. What impressed me most were the breadth of his knowledge and the pleasant manner in which he dealt with those he was helping . I quickly became convinced that he was ready to be an Artifex so I asked and he accepted. Then as the time to put this application together I quickly realized his contributions went far beyond the helping others I'd been ready to patronize him for. I leave it to the councilors to decide.''
