In the Roblox community, 1x1x1x1 was long rumored to be a hacker following the account's creation on October 25, 2007.[1] However, the account was originally created by Shedletsky, Roblox's former Creative Director, as part of Roblox's early lore. In that lore, 1x1x1x1 is an entity from the fourth dimension who seeks to destroy Roblox for existing in only three dimensions but was ultimately imprisoned by 2x2 at the dawn of time.

The physical manifestation of pure malice, hatred, and negativity himself; the one who despises no one else more than the former admin, Shedletsky. With the daemonshank in his hands, he can summon beings of rot from the deceased, as well as target survivors from afar, poisoning them in the process.

"Welcome, mortal. You stand before the physical manifestation of pure malice, hatred, and negativity himself. I am the one who despises no one else more than the former admin, Shedletsky. I am the embodiment of destruction, chaos, and decay, seeking to destroy roblox. Pray you don't cross my path again, lest you fall prey to the same fate as those who have fallen before you."
