Jerod Nandin, the South Park cosplayer who became a legend for his fun cosplay at conventions has passed away from COVID-19 complications. Not a famous "star", but a legend nonetheless.

Jarod was an avid World of Warcraft fan who took pride in giving others the courage to cosplay, having shaved his own head half a dozen times to portray the South Park reference of “Jenkins the Griefer/NWBZPWNR” from the episode “Make Love, Not Warcraft” at various conventions, beginning with an appearance during the Blizzard costume contest at Blizzcon in 2013. Jarod began going with the NWBZPWNR name online thanks to the overwhelming popularity of his cosplay, which is still praised today.
