He is a member of the 'second generation' of Assemblians who founded in the early days of the region.

===Retirement===
Llorens effectively retired with the conclusion of their fourth term as Secretary on 14 June 2020, though he continuesinitially tocontinued serveas head administrator of the social Discord server, as well as a co-founder alongside Cedoria and Kavagrad.
 
As head administrator of the social Discord server, he was involved in opposing proposed legislation by Secretary Greylyn and Vice Secretary Podria that sought to increase government control over it, including by making the Secretary a permanent administrator. He endorsed a motion of no-confidence in Podria, who had spearheaded the effort, on 25 July, which eventually saw the Vice Secretary resign before the vote's conclusion. Llorens continued to serve in this role until his unexpected resignation in January 2021, released in a dispatch that detailed his frustration with what he perceived as growing sectarianism in the server amongst some members and administrators. This is largely credited with initiating [[The Great Departure|the Great Departure]], where several long-term members of the region, including Libertasnia and [[Hecknamistan]], left the region or the game altogether.
 
He also served in several leadership capacities, including twice as Chief Executive Officer, for award-winning interregional newspaper ''NationStates Today'' from January 2019 until he departed the organisation in June 2021. He published over 80 individual articles for the news organisation during his time as a staff member, including 19 editions of a popular monthly called ''[https://nationstates.news/?s=the+shift The Shift]'', which tracked global World Assembly population changes.
 
He resigned as a co-founder – the fourth nation to ever do so following Atealia, [[British Accia]], and The Final Horseman – on 24 July 2021, being succeeded by [[Dyl]]. He has indicated that he may eventually depart NationStates following the conclusion of work on TLAwiki.
He has indicated that he will not serve in any other government capacity in the foreseeable future as he focuses more on real-life.

* "An increasingly vocal minority has sought to belittle those with different perspectives and construct a narrative that their worldview is superior to others and the ultimate goal of any ‘good’ leftist. This is toxic, and each word to this effect slowly unravels the fragile fibre of our community."

* "Serving as a founder of any region is an interesting endeavour, but being one in a leftist region is uniquely strange. In our region, you effectively serve as one-third of a constitutional monarch!"
