Spears was promoted in the 2nd anniversary edition of the Dark Voice newsletter for his extraordinary and consisten service. The story was as follows:

"The Dark Voice Staff has received word from an inside source that the Headmaster of the Shadow Academy was to be promoted on the anniversary of the Exodus. The confidential source has told the Dark Voice that both Grand Master Jac Cotelin and Deputy Grand Master Mav Cantor have been exceptionally pleased with Spears.

"Lord Cotelin has always appreciated the work that Spears does," said our source. "He generally has the best reporting, and his track record as Headmaster simply speaks for itself."

After further research of the records database, the Dark Voice managed to find the commendation that accompanied the request for Spears's rite of elevation. The following is an excerpt from that:

"Finally, I would like to add that Spears is one of the most resourceful, reliable Dark Council members that I have worked with.

Spears is truly an asset to the Brotherhood and I am looking forward to my continued work with him." - Jac Cotelin The Dark Voice Staff congratulates the Headmaster on his elevation."
