About The Completionist

Jirard Khalil (born January 3, 1988) is an American YouTuber, internet personality and reviewer known online as The Completionist, the titular character of a web series Khalil created in 2012, in which he previously referred to by his nickname, "Dragonrider". Khalil's content focuses on him reviewing and playing video games to 100% completion, uncovering every aspect found in the game. Throughout his career on YouTube, Khalil has uploaded reviews of over 340 games. He was also affiliated with the YouTube network and gaming collective Normal Boots. Khalil joined the TV network G4 during their 2021–2022 revival as a host of Xplay and Attack of the Show!, and debuted his series God of Work on the network. A member of the Open Hand Foundation charity, he co-organized IndieLand, an annual livestream event showcasing indie games to raise money for dementia research. Following charity fraud allegations involving Open Hand, Khalil resigned from the charity in 2023 and was removed from the podcasts Friends Per Second Podcast and Super Beard Bros, which he had co-hosted since their creation. He posted an apology video in 2025 claiming the California Department of Justice has an ongoing inquiry into Open Hand, and announcing a return to video production after a year-long hiatus. In addition to The Completionist, he also created Let's Play videos on the channel Super Beard Bros. with collaborators Alex Faciane and Brett Bayonne. He is also the brother of Kellee Khalil, an entrepreneur who founded the wedding planner website Lover.ly. Co-created by Khalil with Emily Rose Jacobson, the premise involves Khalil portraying Kratos from God of War in an office setting.
