Ralph de Wilder

Randall "Randy" Taliaferro-de Wilder III (born May 2, 2002), better known by his alter-ego Jibrizy Ulysees Essex or his YouTube username Jibrizy Urbexer, is a Patagonian YouTuber, urban explorer and journalist known for his urban exploration vlogs and most notably his "black gamer" stereotype.

Life
Not much is known about de Wilder's life, however he is of mixed Italian-Belgian ancestry. He grew up listening to rap and hip-hop and watching his father's basketball games which gave him fascination for African-American culture. De Wilder denies any racism.

In 2013, he and his family moved to an African-American suburb of Raleigh, North Carolina, United States, where he eventually started assimilating into African-American society. His attachment eventually grew strong that after returning to Patagonia in 2017, de Wilder adopted an alter-ego using a silicone mask (more specifically, the "Athlete" mask from prosthetic maker Realflesh Masks).

Career
De Wilder has 14K subscribers on YouTube. He adopts the alter-ego Jibrizy Urbexer, an American urban explorer of African descent born in Raleigh (where de Wilder moved with his parents for 4 years) and residing in Neuquen, Patagonia. He does urban exploration vlogs in which he goes around abandoned places in Patagonia, most notably the Robinson gold mine, which was abandoned in 1977 due to an explosion.

In addition to his signature mask, he also wears a pair of prosthetic gloves in the same shade of skin as the mask. He wears shades and long-sleeved shirts as well as a cap and/or do-rag to hide any flaws in his disguise. He also speaks in a deeper voice and an African-American accent and in his videos perpetually acts in character, in order to conceal anything that might reveal his true identity.

Aside from that, de Wilder is a news reporter and journalist for PRTP and hosts his own Investigative on PTP NewsNexus, titled Detective Jibrizy on the Case, in which de Wilder discusses various crimes (gathered from police investigations and eyewitness accounts and told by news files).
