Nero. Back when you joined Taldryan, I had lots of concerns about you. Fast forward 6 months, and I now consider you to be one of the shining faces of Taldryan's future.

In those 6 months you've consistently impressed me with your ability to adapt, to change, to make the best of situations, and more importantly your ability to cope with the myriad of personalities you meet in the DB.

You represent something for Taldryan that truly gives me hope for the future, and I want to thank you for that. You're learning those core Taldryan values of putting the Unit's need ahead of your own wants and desires, and learning to be able to bite the bullet and finish tasks you don't necessarily find fun.

To me, that's being Taldryan. So, without further adieu, I would like to bestow upon you the rank of Dark Jedi Knight.

Rise, Nero Inferni: Knight of Taldryan.

Well what can I say about Nero? His career in the DB so far has had some ups and downs with the ups outweighing the downs. He is communicative in both IRC and e-mail, speaking his mind free without a second thought. In terms of activities I can say that as of late Nero has started to really impress me, he freely decided to base his House Summit on leadership work. He has written a House Report for me as well as evaluating the performance of various other members of Taldryan on the most recent Crusade events and come up with the respective recommendations for the rewards. All this he fulfilled to my fullest expectations. Furthermore Nero has worked closely with his Master OT Talon Drear to fulfill the rest of his promotion requirements.

So far Nero has participated in a total of 16 competition events while hosting one competition of his own and judging another one for his Master. He has placed in the top3 five times and has been awarded one Anteian Cross for his dedication to Taldryan during the First Phase of the Dark Crusade.

Whatever task it is we suggested at you Nero, you have fulfilled it, no matter if it was your Summit Task or passing every Exam in the SA Journeymen Hall to gain the Dark Pundit – Essentials Degree, or most recently your MAA task where you have been required to write at least 750 words on the History of the Guardian Order, to bypass the remaining two weeks of your ‘Time in rank’ requirement. This trait is something I am always looking for when it comes to the question if one is ready to become a Knight of Taldryan and you Sir have proven yourself worth without question.

Well done Nero Inferni, Knight of Taldryan!

Nero is a superb example of what it means to embrace the spirit of Taldryan. His constant chat over email is guaranteed to bring a smile to your face, and even when asked to do something he dislikes, he gets on and does it to the utmost of his ability, with little more than a sarcastic comment. Nero has been instrumental in helping Taldryan through the Crusades so far, his activity levels have outshone even many of Taldryan's veterans, and his enthusiasm has known no bounds. Nero is the first Jedi Hunter in my memory to ask for an MAA appointed task to complete his promotion requirements, preferring to get things completed for his promotion rather than sit back and coast the last few weeks of his 'time in rank' requirement. That act on it's own epitomises his attitude to his career in the Dark Brotherhood, and it is with great pleasure that I recommend him for elevation to Dark Jedi Knight.

Looking back on Nero's progress in his journeyman period has filled me with pride.To be perfectly honest, being his mentor has been a cakewalk as of late. While he needed the occasional prodding in the early stages of his apprenticeship, he is now constantly seeking out and expanding his boundaries and has started to develop his skills in other areas than general activity, helping out the summit with various leadership tasks and surprising me with various great ideas to further not only his house, but the Brotherhood in general.

Nero has successfully passed all the requirements for his advancement to full knighthood with flying colours. He has participated in a total of 16 competitions during the crusades and independence games, placing in 5 of them with full awards and garnering 70 CoF's in the process. For his exemplary efforts during this period he has been awarded the Anteian Cross. Taking the initiative he has also hosted 2 competitions of his own and helped out the house summit by writing up a house report and assisting in the evaluation of his fellow house members and their performance in the crusades. Showing an ever increasing will to learn and rise up as a future leader he has passed a Leadership Studies SA course and attained his first two SA degrees. He has also been a valuable asset to the MAA in fleshing out the history of the DB.

It has been a genuine honour to serve as his mentor so far and I look forward to what he brings to the table further on in his career. For his outstanding performance and growing leadership potential I strongly recommend Nero Inferni be elevated to the rank of Dark Jedi Knight.
