Surface name: Larry Nelson

Larry was known in the Cavern Community as Lord Chaos, Lady Chaos, and Ktahdn Vesuvino.

In Real Life, Larry was a Signal Systems Electrician and designed the communications protocol for traffic signal control for over 4,500 signals in Los Angeles. His protocol is still used today. Larry was a sand sculptor, often out on the beach near his home in Santa Monica. He was also a poet and a blogger. He has several blogs that show his creations.

In early 2005, he became interested in radio broadcasting to share his love of music, and during that summer began broadcasting on Teamspeak. One of his earliest events in the Great Tree Shard was the Up on the Roof party. This was held every week on the Takotah Rooftop in the Cavern. When the D'mala shard opened in 2006, the Rooftop was no longer accessable as a public instance, and so the parties moved to the Watcher's Pub to become the Under the Roots parties.  

He joined the D'ni Refugees that moved to other virtual worlds in 2008 and eventually settled in Second Life. There, he was best known as Ktahdn Vesuvino. He became a popular DJ, sharing he eclectic taste in music with many different audiences. He was involved in many special events, usually playing music wherever he was.
