James Caldwell (better known as Obsidian) is a level designer from New Zealand, who joined the Doom community in 2012. In 2013, he was named one of the most promising newcomers at the 20th Annual Cacowards and his mapset Maskim Xul won a Cacoward in 2018. Caldwell's levels are often small and compact in playing space, and feature inventive and experimental design ideas alongside tight, controlled combat. He frequently employs extensive and creative use of DeHackEd, seen especially in Maskim Xul.

He is also known as the original host of the Abyssal Speedmapping Sessions, and the project lead of various MAYhem installments. Additionally, at the time of this writing, he is a moderator on the Doomworld forums.
