Master Bentre Stahoes is one of those rare individuals you always want by your side. There are few words that can fully capture the scope of mentorship Master Stahoes has selflessly given back to the Clan. When one thinks of Clan Naga Sadow, Bentre’s name and reputation inevitably follow. He is a foundational pillar of this Clan, and it is truly an honor to speak to his character.
At one point or another, Bentre has mentored all of us. He has one of the most approachable and welcoming demeanors you’ll ever encounter, making him a natural soundboard for others. I doubt there is anyone in the Clan who hasn’t benefited from that endearing quality. I can attest to this personally, he has been a mentor to me since my time as Quaestor of House Shar Dakhan.
There has never been a moment where Bentre hasn't given his full attention to a fellow member in need, whether it was helping correct an invalid Character Sheet, explaining the nuances of Force powers, hopping into gaming sessions to boost GRMG ranks, or building our presence in the online gaming scene. From assisting with wiki pages and shaping Clan plotlines to offering advice to the Dark Council, Bentre’s steady guidance is felt across the board. Whether it was during his tenure with the Wiki, the Shadow Academy, or the Star Chamber, his counsel always comes with the weight of respect and admiration.
In full transparency, there are few conversations Lord Keibatsu and I have had where Bentre isn’t involved or brought in for his insight. His ability to work with others, read the room and attack the task at hand is a natural gift. His positive rapport with members across the Club "Is strong with the Force", one cannot help but value both his friendship and his wisdom.
Bentre is, in many ways, is the Swiss Army knife of CNS, versatile, reliable, and always ready to lend a hand. From addressing questions of “Have you seen this?” to “How do I do that?”, Bentre is always in the thick of things. If he’s not orchestrating something, he’s diving in without hesitation. Most recently, he took it upon himself to start prioritizing and updating our Clan’s wiki pages. An immense task that requires significant personal time, research, and attention to detail. Where others might shy away, Bentre steps forward. And thanks to his skills as a former Wiki Tribune, both the Club and the Clan benefit greatly from that precision.
His dedication to Naga Sadow cannot be overstated. While we often highlight the statistics and accolades he’s earned over his storied career, it’s his character and consistent presence that truly leave a lasting mark. His influence is felt, his mentorship appreciated, and his friendship cherished.
On behalf of Clan Naga Sadow, we want to extend our deepest thanks, for everything you’ve done for the Clan, and for all you’ve done for us personally as a mentor and friend.
It is with great pride that we, Clan Naga Sadow, recommend that Master Bentre Stahoes be awarded the Ruby Scepter. Thank you for your unwavering service, and congratulations on this prestigious honor.
