Tot, a French screenwriter, director, producer, and game designer, was born on March 9, 1977, in Montreuil, France. He is best known as the co-founder and art director of Ankama, an entertainment company that produces various content set in the fictional world of Dofus and Wakfu.
Tot studied at the Fine-Arts Academy of Tournai in Belgium before working at an online agency in Roubaix, where he met Camille Chafer and Emmanuel Darras. In 2001, the three co-founded Ankama, and in 2004, their first game, a MMORPG called Dofus, debuted.
Dofus gained considerable popularity, especially in France, and Tot and his friends decided to expand the world created for the game. In 2008, a game called Dofus 2, later re-titled Wakfu, was opened for beta testing. At the same time, an animated series also called Wakfu premiered on the public television channel France 3.
Tot was a head writer for both the game and the series and in 2013, he co-created a spin-off intended for younger children, Dofus: Aux trésors de Kerubim. He continues to create animated shows, with seasons 3 and 4 of Wakfu supported by crowd-founding campaigns, and writes and illustrates Wakfu-related art books and comic books.
Tot is married to a comic book artist known under the pseudonym Azra, with whom he co-creates some comic books.
