Markus 'Junkboy' Toivonen is a creative director for Mojang Studios. He can be followed on Twitter and he has a DeviantArt account.
He is quite secretive about his identity, and has only appeared on video as a blue-haired pixelated face.[7] In the Scrolls documentary, his face is blurred, but can be made out as bald.[8] Junkboy's name also appears in the Legacy Console and Bedrock editions as "No one at Mojang has ever seen Junkboy's face." while on the world loading screen.
