[5] He has two older brothers, Henrique and Felipe, and a cat named Mina, who passed away in 2017. [V 1] : 0:12  His interest in puzzle games began at the age of nine years old, when his brother, Henrique, introduced to him the game Notpron, an online puzzle browser game known as "the hardest enigma on the internet". [V 2] : 1:21  Henrique and Lange, in less than a year, were able to solve 139 out of the 140 levels available at the time, getting stuck on the last level for years. [V 2] : 0:56  In 2016, Lange revealed in a YouTube video having anxiety disorder. [V 3] : 3:44 

Career

2012–13: Beginning of his internet career

At the age of 15, Lange began posting videos on his second YouTube channel, CellBits, which was posteriously changed to Cellbit. [7] By 2012, Cellbit had published machinima style Minecraft videos. Soon after, he kept his channel focused on Portal 2 gameplay. He later returned to Minecraft content, but with a different format. [V 4] : 3:09  At the time, Cellbit and his family faced many financial hardships, specially considering his mother inability to work for the time being due to personal reasons. [V 2] : 8:55 

2014–16: Career peak

As of 2014, Lange began constantly posting gameplay videos of Garry's Mod. [V 4] : 3:09  Later on, he stopped producing single games' gameplay content at all, focusing on playing random games in a saga format, such as Fugindo da Escola and the flash game GênioQuiz. At the time, Cellbit was known online for his loud laughing and screaming, which many people saw as fake or forced. [8]

As of 2016, he moved from the countryside to the city of São Paulo, [9] simultaneously shifting his content, leaving gameplays aside to focus on more serious topics. [7] During July of 2016, he posted a video criticizing the Minecraft community in Brazil and was informally referred to as "YouTube's judge" due to the video's virality. [10]

2017: First role as an actor

In February, Lange debuted as an actor at the movie Internet – O Filme , taking the role of Paulinho, a Street Fighter player that hides under the identity of a YouTuber . [11] As of July, Lange published his first video of the series "DO NOT BELIEVE HIS LIES", about the puzzle game with the same title. The game had a narrative of its own and was never completed by anyone, being discontinued in 2018. The YouTube series earned Lange the title "the enigma guy" online. [12]

2018–present: Career as a streamer and Ordem Paranormal

In 2018, Lange started constantly making live streamed content on Twitch. [13] He got known quickly on the Brazilian Twitch community and became one of its most popular creators, reaching over 3.4 million followers on the platform. [14]

In February 2020, Lange initiated his first RPG campaign called Ordem Paranormal RPG. During April of the same year, he created its second season, O Segredo na Floresta RPG. [15] [16] In October 2020, Lange announced the campaign of the third season of his RPG series by the name of "Desconjuração" and, along with it, a crowdfunding campaign for his game project Ordem Paranormal: Enigma do Medo or simply Enigma do Medo, made in partnership with the indie Brazilian game developer company Dumativa. [17] [18] The game was launched in 28 November 2024. [19] The goal for the beginning of the production process was of R$ 500,000 in 60 days. The initial goal was reached in 5 hours of its launching on the platform Catarse. [20] [3] The crowdfunding got to its end at 846% of the initial goal, raising over R$4,000,000. [21] In September 2021, Lange announced the fourth season of his RPG, called Calamidade. [16] In November of the same year, he announced his first rulebook called Livro de Regras - Ordem Paranormal RPG. [4]

In July 2022, Lange launched three new spinoff seasons of his main project, the first one being O Segredo na Ilha and was initiated a week after its announcement. [22] Furthermore, it was announced that a comic would be made featuring the first season of Ordem Paranormal. In October 2022, the second spinoff season of Ordem Paranormal began, called Sinais do Outro Lado. [22] In 23 September 2023, the third spinoff of Ordem Paranormal was announced: Ordem Paranormal: Quarentena, featuring international content creators such as Roier, Quackity, Baghera Jones and Foolish, as well as Brazilian creators, being the first season that reached international proportions, [22] being later nominated for The Streamer Awards in the Best Streamed Series category. [23]

In February of 2024, in a Twitter post, Lange revealed being asexual as well as having been through many situations of abuse and psychological trauma in his past relationships. [24] He did this as a response towards, according to him, false, informal accusations of sexual abuse by his former girlfriend, Flávia Eloisa Gato, providing a detailed response, disputing the allegations and presenting a 19-page document addressing the claims. In the document, Lange addresses not only the most recent allegations, but also previous accusations of emotional abuse and relationship violence. [25] [26] According to Lange, his ex-girlfriend "had a pattern of manipulative behavior throughout the relationship". [27] Lange then sued multiple people due to the publishing of 217 Internet posts that "objectively imputed false offenses [towards him]". [28] [29]
