Rodney Caston
Rodney Caston was the co-creator and original writer of the webcomic Megatokyo. Caston owned the original domain name of Megatokyo and his alter ego, Largo, was the insane gaming fanatic while Fred Gallagher's alter ego, Piro, played the straight man. Caston quietly parted with Fred Gallagher from Megatokyo in mid-2002 and began to work on his own online comic, Überclocked. The legal details of the breakup are private and not much was said about it at the time. In early 2005, a controversy that erupted after Scott Kurtz of PvP wrote a news post that congratulated Caston on the birth of his baby as well as accused Fred Gallagher of stealing Megatokyo away from Caston, much fan speculation ensued. Due to the gossip, rumors and hearsay, Gallagher was forced to explain the reason for the breakup, citing creative differences [1] and insisting that the breakup was amiable and mutual. Caston then gave his version of the events [2].
