Balia Donos has successfully completed the requirements for promotion to Dark Jedi Knight. Aside from a leave of absence for military service in real life, he has been a consistently active member of House Gladius, serving as Rollmaster for several months in early 2009. He earned a Dark Cross for assisting Karel Tarentae with some XML work, and has earned crescents in many of the 15 competitions he has participated in. He has completed both the Conflict Mediation and Leadership Fundamentals SA courses, and run several competitions with minor assistance from his House Summit, including Knighting, Gladius Poetry, Duty, and Hang. He completed his Major House Summit Task as assigned by myself and KAP Apollo. He has also written a six page lightsaber creation fiction and completed a wiki article about his character. It has been a long road for Donos, and I am pleased to be able to recommend his elevation to Knighthood.

According to my records, Donos has now fulfilled all the requirements for promotion to Jedi Hunter. In addition to simply completing the requirements he has been the backbone of our House, taking on the duty to assist our youngest members in their advancement and being on IRC every day. I have had the privilege of seeing him go from a quiet new member to an outspoken and crucial leader in our organization. I now have the privilege of recommending that he be allowed to continue his journey. Windos, Donos' Master, asked that his comment be added as well:

I, Archpriest Windos Helkin Tarentae, do henceforth and herby recommend Balia Donos for promotion to Jedi Hunter. He has stepped up to fill my shoes and take over the reins of Gladius' training battle team. He has done an admirable job in what is an unforgiving and often undervalued position which is both taxing and, at times, distressing. On top of this, Donos is a regular fixture in the IRC channel of our clan and is a great pleasure to converse with and can be rather vocal in this regard. He has served as a apt sounding board for a number of my ideas and I'm sure that our esteemed summit will find him useful as an advisor in the months to come. Since his last promotion, Donos has competed in about seven competitions, including our recent house feud, Shattered Tears, The New ACC Logo Is..., Navy War Games and more. He has also completed the Obelisk Core exam at the Shadow Academy and completed an ACC training battle against myself as well as initiating his qualification battle. He has been awarded two Dark Crosses since his last promotion, one for helping an audit on the wiki and another for aiding Karel with various duties pertaining to the ICTE. He has also initiated and administered three competitions for his battle team and is currently hammering out details for some house wide competitions to... cast his responsibilities a little wider.

Donos has been an exemplary member of House Gladius. His Master, Archean, informs me that he has completed all the tasks assigned to him since his promotion to PRT. Additionally, he has participated in every House and Clan competition as well as running several competitions of his own for his Battle Team. His reports are always timely, and he has taken a great deal of initiative to befriend and help new members. Our retention rate for new members is higher than it used to be, and I believe it is due to Donos' hard work running our training Battle Team. In my opinion he is very much deserving of a promotion in recognition for his excellent, and most importantly consistent, service to House Gladius.
