Primary reason

In the wake of the recent Obelisk Rite of Supremacy, no one in the Brotherhood can argue Dinaari’s dominance. When you look into why this is true, you come upon a sometimes quiet but always hardworking Quaestor behind the scenes. Benevolent Whiner has spent his entire time in the Brotherhood in Taldryan. He has worked his way up, from Battle Team member to leader, then to Aedile for almost a year, and most recently as Quaestor for six months. His smooth but relentless leadership style is a perfect fit for his House. He mixes high levels of personal activity with a drive that ignites his House to perform.

On top of his House leadership, Ben has been the Clan summits go-to guy for nearly all of our projects. He is always available to help, especially when our ideas need to be codified. He personally updates and upgrades the Taldryan website, which is an immense responsibility itself. Throughout all of this work he never complains, he just gets it done. He is probably the single most productive leader work-wise in the entire Clan. Without Ben we wouldn’t be able to realize half of the projects that make Taldryan the Clan it is today. He is indispensable for both House Dinaari and Clan Taldryan. For all of his efforts I would like to award him a Sapphire Blade. (CON Kir’s Departure Awards)

The position of Wiki Tribune is one of the most demanding positions within our club and is unfortunately one of the most underrated. The T:W must track, edit, and read thousands of entries to ensure the Dark Brotherhood Wiki maintains a high level of quality absent in most Wikis across the web. Ben has performed this job with a fluid ease and continues to handle the rigors of T:W with grace and skill. It has been five years since his last sacramental award and Ben is absolutely deserving of an reward for his exceptional work and dedication. -GM Pravus, Voice

Benevolent has been working under the radar on the Wiki for a great long time now, and he's been pretty awesome as a voice of reason in our DC discussion on how and why we do what we do. Ben has been one of those guys who recognize that leadership isn't tied to a position, but instead comes from action, from demeanor. He's a calm influence, someone who is always available to weigh in on something, to help tweak things, and to share another point of view to help us temper our ideas and priojects. Add this to his work as Wiki tribune, and it's easy to see that we need to reward him with something. Please accept this as a token of our esteem, Ben. Thank you for all that you do. It means a lot to us. --Muz Ashen, Dark Lord of the Sith

Additional reasons

The Dark Brotherhood Covenant formerly established temporary membership to the Star Chamber in 2017. Temporary membership in the Star Chamber requires senior Dark Jedi Brotherhood members who have shown an inherent desire to improve and protect the Dark Brotherhood. Temporary members are required to show high levels of discretion on topics ranging from the approval of a Grand Master to approving major club changes.

The Dark Brotherhood has been blessed to have several members serve in this role and do so with distinction. The following actions took place under the temporary member’s terms:

  1. The ratification of the Electorate’s Vote on two Grand Masters and three Justicars.
  2. Discussion and Approval of redefining the roles of Clan Leaders in our Club’s voting processes and the amendment of a Covenant Article to redefine the procedures for abstaining from Electorate level voting.
  3. The discussion and approval of moving the recruitment Tribune to a DC level position and thus expanding the Electorate DC votes to 9.
  4. The discussion on time sensitive leadership decisions to include the removal of summit level leaders for cause.
  5. Discussion and Approval of the Shadow Academies restructuring and the updating of the Headmaster’s Duties and Responsibilities.
  6. The reception, commentary, and vote of confidence in two different Grand Master’s club wide updates to the Star Chamber.
  7. A discussion and ultimately concurrence with the Grand Master on the process for new recruits entering the Dark Brotherhood. The aggressive downvoting of Sarin’s idea to put all new recruits in the Emissary’s Clan until they reach a certain rank (lols).
  8. Discussion and concurrence on the creation of a new Role Play society and its synergistic impact on multiple DJB systems and processes.
  9. Concurrence with the removal of the traditional Roll Master within the club.
  10. Maintaining exceptional decorum, maturity, and discretion while serving on the Star Chamber.
  11. Discussion and concurrence on updated crafting and possessions systems within the club. Gentlemen, thank you for your support to our club, your participation in club-changing events and systems, and your overall commitment to the Dark Brotherhood.

Since earning his last activity based award 12 months ago, Ben has been quite the active Sith. He has participated in 87 competitions, earning himself 30 Crescents (3 Diamond, 7 Ruby, 7 Amethyst, 4 Sapphire, 4 Emerald, 1 Topaz, & 4 Quartz). He also earned himself a Sapphire Blade due to his work as one of the temporary members of the Star Chamber where he debated various matters of great significance to the entire club (for those interested in learning more, I refer you to the recommendation for said award). During the 16th Great Jedi War he earned himself 2 Seals of Transcendence. Benevolent also earned 2 Clusters of Graphite. On the side of Societies, he’s elevated his rank in the various societies one time.

On the social side, Ben is a constant presence. Interacting with everyone on Discord and always ready to pitch in with shards of wisdom, jokes, or advice when needed. He is one of the pillars of Taldryan’s social atmosphere.

Ben, you’re an inspiration and one of the clan’s greatest assets in maintaining a friendly and supportive atmosphere. Here’s another blade, you’ve got 4 now so juggling them is becoming slightly more complicated. Enjoy it though, you’ve more than earned this!
