Euronymous 

Given name: Oystein Aarseth. Deceased guitar player of Norwegian black metal act Mayhem. Was and is still considered a standout character, or even a celebrity, within the black metal movement, mainly due to his outspoken nature in interviews and his efforts, both musical and otherwise, in the black metal genre. Besides participating in classic albums such as "Deathcrush," "Live in Liepzig," and "De Mysteriis Dom Sathanas" as the guitarist of Mayhem, Aarseth also owned and operated a record store called Helvete, or "Hell" in Norwegian, which stocked only the most extreme metal music. Killed by Varg Vikernes, also known as Count Grishnackh or The Count, on August 10th, 1993. To many fans of black metal, Mayhem ceased to truly exist after Euronymous' death despite the fact that the band was reformed afterwards, and hence, all Mayhem releases released up to "De Mysteriis Dom Sathanas" are commonly said to have been recorded by "The True Mayhem" by fans.

It is said that when Mayhem performed during Euronymous' lifetime, one could not see his hand as he played due to the incredible speeds he was cabaple of on guitar.

elonym 

(electronic + Gr. onyma, name; cf. pseudonym, synonym) -- electronic name; the part of electronic address that precedes the sign @.

In our university mail system, all elonyms are made from the first name initial plus the surname minus last letter. My elonym is bjohnso (Bill Johnson).

His elonym is as enigmatic as he is himself: aaa314. Clearly he claims to be alpha, not omega.
