-KingCobraJFS, born Joshua Faye Saunders of Casper, Wyoming, also known as Josh, Cobes, Cobra, and formerly known as Gothickingcobra52, was a Youtuber and self proclaimed "sexy gothic badboy", singer-songwriter, wand maker, and wizard. Josh was known for making lengthy video responses to other YouTubers, gender relations rants, performing vocal covers, and making "drink combos" and infamous "food hacks" that involve a myriad of unconventional ingredients. Josh was a self proclaimed and possibly medically diagnosed as having Asperger's syndrome, which he would frequently bring up and discusses in many of his videos. Saunders has a significant online following both on and off of YouTube that comprise a combination of fans, casual viewers, and a contingent of viewers that Josh refers to as [[characters:the trolls|"the trolls"]].

 Much of Josh’s life is murky, but what is known is that he was born on March 26, 1991 to Clint and Laura Saunders in Casper, Wyoming. Shortly after birth, Clint and Laura went through a rough divorce and a custody battle. Josh was born with respiratory distress syndrome (NRDS), underdeveloped lungs, and was placed in an incubator. Clint always maintained that Laura was psychotic and abusive, with some trolls believing that she may have had a drug problem or drank liquor while Josh was still in the womb.
-In 1992/1993 Josh relocated to Miles City, Montana with his parents where both shared custody. Details of his life in Montana are murky and largely unknown, aside from Clint owning and running gymnastics clubs in both Miles City and Glendive, Montana. Other places Josh lived were Valley City, North Dakota; and South Lake Tahoe, California. Clint remarried in 1996 and was awarded sole custody of Josh. Eventually Josh moved back to Casper, Wyoming and graduated from Natrona County High School. He was bullied a lot in high school because of his Aspergers syndrome and was often accused of being "creepy" for sexually assaulting girls. This was admitted by Josh on stream 3/7/2021, although his excuse was "they were totally into me" - Which of course, they were not. At some point he was on the wrestling team, where he remained on the team long enough to receive a letterman jacket before deciding the sport was "gay", resulting in his departure from the team.  He discovered the band Cradle of Filth and began to identify as a goth. At 18, he got a tattoo of the "Cool S" everybody drew in elementary school, calling it the symbol of his new religion.

 After an extended period of missing totally real girls Scotty was trying to set him up with, [[sagas:the post-wendy's saga|Josh would get fired from his job]] due to interference from a Trole named Castellus Zemi. Josh would spend much time attempting to find a job during this phase, and would often be seen hanging with his innumerable homeboys during this time, introducing new names to the Cobraverse such as [[characters:Warlord]], [[characters:Alex Anderson]], [[characters:Jeremy Rogers]], and [[characters:Scrapper Steve]]. Basically, if you hanged out with Josh and didn't care too much about getting recorded, you'd be a Homeboy.
-Josh maintains this unemployed state for the better part of a year before getting new work at [[locations:The Office Bar and Grill]] as a dish washer. During this time, however, Josh would gain more notoriety after a failed GoFundMe to buy him a sex doll, having a sex doll sent to him, destroying it in a manner not unlike a serial killer would do to his victims, and trying to hide it by having a [[sagas:the rebirth saga|"rebirth"]] of his channel, to limited success.

 With this newfound fame came more trouble. Soon after, Josh would end his "dry spell" with [[sagas:the Summer saga|a girl named Summer]], who would be a notable victim of the Cobraverse during this era. Hit on by Scrapper Steve and dealing with social media trolls non-stop, Summer would eventually distance herself from Josh for her own safety. Josh would be devastated, but he would recoup his losses by starting a new business, [[sagas:the wandmaker saga|Cobra Craft Wands]]. Selling out fast, Josh would continue to use his ability to lathe down sticks into wands for rabid fans who wished to copy Cobra's Magic.
-Not long after this, Josh would meet Ellen, and have a [[sagas:the_ellen_saga|not-quite-relationship with her,]] attempting to curry favor with this hot alive of-age non-related goth chick, to no avail. Josh would be [[sagas:the_eviction_saga|evicted from his apartment in 2020]] after it was discovered the extent of the damage that Josh had managed to lay into the place over a lengthy 10 years.

-Josh would move into his new place in the now-infamous [[places:Conquistador apartments]] and would go live often, making numerous videos, get addicted to computer duster, and after 4 years of living there, bag his next of-age goth chick: Jessica Anne Boyle, also known as [[characters:nakedandlaughing]]. Not long after her second visit, Josh would be evicted //again// due to innumerable noise complaints, and move to [[sagas:the trailer saga|a trailer park,]] where he presides now.

-In the present day, Josh's health, both physical and mental, has deteriorated severely, and he is a shell of what he once was. In years prior, Josh was still mentally handicapped and struggled with basic tasks, but he had a social life, ambitions, hopes, and dreams. In the present day, all of this is gone.

-The trolls, having become a bigger and bigger part of his life over the years, now play a central role in Josh's life, making up the majority of his social interactions. While he is loathe to admit it, the constant trolling has clearly taken a psychological toll on Josh, making him more agitated, socially isolated, and even more incapable of interfacing with the world around him in a remotely normal or healthy way.

While there have been momentary periods of peace and positivity in his life, Josh's stubborn refusal to stop interacting with the trolls means that his life continued to spiral downward indefinitely until his passing in 2025.

-Josh is estranged from his biological mother Lora, who he wrote a track for in his album [[albums:Darken Days]], possibly detailing his abusive relationship with her. It's difficult to tell, however, as Darken Days was during an era of Josh's music-making where his music was basically impossible to parse by the human ear.

 //“He was very different. By the time he was five we started taking him to counselors to try and get him the help he needed. From the age of 5-18 he saw counselors and was on medications and was able to function fairly well. When he was young I went back to college to study psychology in hopes to be able to help him more. I worked with kids in the mental health field for years to gain knowledge and skills to try and help him. I have quit good jobs in exchange for lesser paying jobs just so I could be home more to be there for him.”//

 === Obsessive behavior ===
-Joshua has stalked a former high school crush by the name of [[Characters:Alicia Rhode]] for nearly 15 years after graduating high school. In fact, Alicia continues to be a reoccurring name in the Cobraverse as late as Fall of 2024, where Josh would tell his fans to stop bringing up her name. Despite this, Josh has apologized for stalking her numerous times, continued to stalk her via social media, named his sex doll a similar-sounding name, attempted to write a book with a visually similar person, saved images of her modelling photo shoots to his desktop...The list goes on. It would become so pronounced that Clint would pull Josh aside on his 30th birthday and tell him that Alicia had killed herself due to The Troles, and Josh would be devastated before discovering that this was a complete fabrication some days later.

 === Violence against women ===
-Despite preaching ad nauseum(Sometimes literally!) about healing the ever-lengthening divide between men and women, Josh is infamous for his targeted harassment towards women, especially those who refuse to sleep with him. This can be seen as far back as The Stephanie Saga, where Josh would(Supposedly half-jokingly by Josh's account) threaten to rape Stephanie after she cheated on him with a mutual friend, but would also extend to extremely hurtful comments about Homeboy Scotty's sister Carolyn during The Wandmaker Saga, as well as expressing joy and even sexual pleasure at the emotional turmoil of his ex-girlfriends such as Jessica Boyle and Ami.
