Faze Rain (born May 29, 1996) also known as Nordan Shat is a professional gamer who posts video game related content to his FaZe Rain YouTube channel. He is a member of the FaZe Clan, a Call of Duty sniping clan owned by Thomas Oliveira.

Nordan Shat was born in Toronto, Canada on 29 May 1996. He lives with his mother and step-dad, and has a biological sister and 2 step-siblings.

Nordan's gaming channel isn't a result of his dream or passion since childhood.

His gaming journey began after taking the advice of his therapist.

Most of Nordan's childhood was spent in despair as his parents argued and fought a lot.

All this emotional drama took a toll on his grades and he found himself entangled in depression and sadness.

After Faze Rain dad left without a trace, Nordan was surrounded by loneliness and thought that overdosing on Advil will bring a brief respite to this sordid life he was leading.After the 1 week treatment in the hospital following his failed attempt to take his life, Nordan sought the help of a therapist and things took a better turn ever since.

Nordan began watching 'YouTube' and in just a matter of time, he was inspired to no end to start a channel of his own.

Knowing that gaming was something that made him the happiest, he began sharing his insane 'Call of Duty' skills on YouTube. Before Shat could wrap his mind around the fact that his channel was growing, his channel saw a rise of a million subscribers.

Now part of one of the biggest e-gamers on social media, FaZe Clan, Nordan has gone from Call of Duty to competitive sniping and even more! His strategies and skills have been called one of the best by different e-gaming groups and no doubt, it’s only his hard work that got him there! Apart from his FaZe Rain gaming channel, Nordan has another, more personal channel called 'Nordan Shat', where he uploads his regular vlogs and gets more open with his audience.

Even though FaZe Rain is seen in his ultimate hardcore gaming self on his channels, he is in there with the pure intention of spreading positivity.

FaZe Rain goes on to share in one of his videos that just like how YouTube videos helped him cope with the mess, he longs to do the same for everyone watching. This encouraging and special trait has got to make FaZe Rain a truly unique kind of gamer.^[1]

Nordan goes on to say in one of his videos that he isn't really close to his step sister, but that he absolutely adores and looks up to his step-brother, Josh.

His next-level sense of humor is also on full display on his channel.
