Atra Ventus is a rising star in Clan Naga Sadow and a member that I believe will do great things for the Dark Brotherhood. He is already a very active member, as well as a strong leader, both officially and unofficially. Atra is versatile and dedicated. Furthermore, he has met all of the normal requirements for advancement to Dark Jedi Knight.
On the activity front, Atra is very good across the board. He is one of the most active members I have seen on TOR, gaining 85 Clusters of Fire in only the past few weeks. He has also entered numerous competitions, gaining many Crescents along the way. Furthermore, Atra is a very active participant in both Worldwreckers (the Clans official Runon) and Ambitions, the current VOICE competition. Additionally, Atra has made an effort to qualify in the ACC, which he has succeeded in doing. Finally, he displayed his ability in graphics by not only designing his own character image, but also that of another members as well. Atra has also completed numerous SA exams over his time as a journeyman.
Atra is a great leader, doing exceptionally well for one just now reaching Dark Jedi Knight. He is a leader I am proud to have in the Clan. He has helped other members regardless of his position where he can, both on IRC and Gtalk. Upon taking the mantle of Quaestor of House Shar Dahkan, he fit into the role well. He has already released a report, begun actively planning, and started getting to know his membership.
As with previous requirements, Atra has knocked out the static requirements for Dark Jedi Knight with determination. He has more than six weeks at Jedi Hunter, a Dark Cross, and numerous Crescents. Atra has participated in 15 total competitions. He also created and ran his own competition entitled Written by the Victor, which was DB-wide. For his Summit task, Atra edited the Naga Sadow wiki page, which was a tremendous help. For the final section, Atra has completed both leadership exams, gained far more than 40 Clusters of Fire, and obtained a Shadow Academy degree: Dark Maven: Combat.
For these reasons, Im proud to submit this recommendation for Atras ascension to Dark Jedi Knight. Youve more than earned it, now take up your lightsaber!

Since Atras last promotion, he has been a whirlwind of activity, knocking out each requirement with relative ease. With his recent promotion to Quaestor, we have seen this energy directed towards pushing the house forward. In terms of promotion requirements, Atra has a Dark Cross, many crescents he has earned through numerous competitions, and he has ran a competition titled "Written by the Victor". He has also taken the leadership exams and earned way more then 40 CFs. Atra has come to make his own path in the Dark Jedi Brotherhood, it is time for him to come join those who have been Knighted and carry his lightsaber.

Proconsul of Clan Naga Sadow
In my time as a member of Naga Sadow, I have seen members come and I have seen them go. Some flash brightly for a time, never to be heard from again; others, never make enough of a presence to be even counted as having joined. Fortunately, neither is the case for Atra Ventus.
I have observed his day-to-day dealings and have been, by and large, quite impressed. He attacks his tasks with enthusiasm and fervor, and always has a great attitude when dealing when all strata of the membership. His experience with similar online clubs outside of the DB shines through, as I have seen him offer advice to others with a knowledgeable hand, and his personality is quite engaging on both the mailing lists and on IRC. Atra has also demonstrated skill in Naga Sadow's forte, fiction writing; so much so, that I was compelled to invite him to join a team of veritable writing powerhouses in March's Monthly Topic; where our team places remains to be seen, but with his help I am confident that we will have, at the very least, a placing run-on.
Moreover, Atra has demonstrated his willingness to assist with the running of the Clan, as evidenced by his securing the office of Quaestor of House Shar Dakhan. He has begun to develop the House's identity by running several competitions, engaging the members in his charge with putting their own stamp on the House. This shows a vested interest in the continuing success of his unit and all that encompasses Clan Naga Sadow. He saw a need and sought to fill it, regardless of his rank. Selflessness on this level, by a member some would consider 'young', is rare indeed.
Atra has demonstrated that success and enjoyment can come from involvement with the DB, and he has clearly shown that he is a dedicated, experienced member who is having a great time and is interested in making sure that others have one as well. This, in my opinion, is the life's blood of any club that relies on a strong sense of community for its survival, and Atra, for lack of a better phrase, "gets it." He has put in his time, has completed his tasks...he has earned his lightsaber. Therefore, it is without reservation or hesitation that I hereby recommend the Hunter known as Atra Ventus be afforded the rank and privileges appertaining to Dark Jedi Knight from this day forth. Congratulations, Atra.

As a member of Naga Sadow, Atra has long since tried to influence gamers to participate and has begun to lead by example taking up the mantle of Quaestor of House Shar Dakhan. As an apprentice, Atra has been incredibly eager to climb the ladder, seeking out anything he can to complete his assigned tasks. A talented member with many plans for the future of Shar Dakhan, Atras current drive is one I havent seen since my time as Aedile of Marka Ragnos or even Aedile of Naga Sadow itself; it is this infectious drive that has allowed him to complete his trials in such a timely manner and this drive that will allow him to guide his members going forward. Having run a Brotherhood-wide competition with Written by the Victor, several HM Flashpoints, the SA Leadership exams, more than 40 Clusters of Fire, a Shadow Academy Degree and a quality Wiki article; I am more than pleased to write this recommendation for my apprentice.
Congratulations Atra, youve more than deserved this final step towards the Equites.
