Roberto Campus was born in Sardinia in 1974 and grew up in Rome. He is a professional illustrator with credits for Marvel, DC, LucasArts, Capcom, and Star Trek; an orchestral composer; and a software architect who spent nearly a decade building systems for humanitarian aid operations at the European Commission. He co-founded a technology company in the United States, scaled a digital media network to ten million monthly readers, and returned to Sardinia in 2017.
The Sigma Emperor grows out of Sardinian landscapes, ancient stone, domestic ritual, and the conviction that the largest questions are never truly separate from household life. He lives in Sardinia with his wife Jenn, their two children, six cats, and a Border Collie.
