Battlelord Mononoke "Macron" Keibatsu Sadow: Conflict and Chaos are often excellent environments to judge the true measure of a leader. Two months ago, Macron assumed command of Clan Naga Sadow under such circumstances. In the time since his accession to Consul, Macron has proven his skill and leadership ability. These skills have been placed on display during the last two weeks when Macron rallied CNS to fight to the very death and secure a more prominent position amongst the Clans of the Dark Brotherhood. While other Clans sputtered and faltered, Macron and CNS rose to the challenge and continued to fight the vast power of the Yuuzhan Vong.
Macron has spent a long time developing his skills and honing the power of the Dark Side. His labors have been justified by the unification of his Clan under his banner and the removal of the CNS stigma of being a soft push over. For his expert leadership, I, Grand Master Sarin, elevate Battlelord Mononoke "Macron" Keibatsu Sadow to the rank of Sith Warlord.
From when he first joined the Disciples of Sadow, the then Macron Goura demonstrated the mark of a truly exceptional member. He was care free, light hearted, kind spirited and just in general an all round nice guy. He was one of those members a Consul was pleased to be able to say "he's one of mine".
Since then Macron has been a stalwart figure within the halls of Sadow Palace. He has excelled throughout his time, being a popular and much loved Quaestor, then Proconsul, now Consul. During this period he has even found time for a little bit of Tribune, among other things, on the side. Throughout all this I have never heard anyone say a bad word against him. Macron is truly one of those peoples' people. He leads through example, providing an active and positive role model for all to follow.
During his time as Proconsul and later Consul, Macron has been a guiding member of the Clan Summit and Inner Circle. He is not one to get worked up, taking things in his stride. He approaches problems with a level head, always looking for results, working with people, rather than against them. His motivational influence during the Seventh Great Jedi War has been truly commendable. He has remained resolute, set backs have not phased him, and his commitment and dedication have been solid throughout.
I was genuinely surprised when looking at Macron's record while writing this recommendation to see he is getting on for the year mark for his time as Sith Battlelord. This promotion is long overdue and I hope his service to the Clan remains as strong in a year's time as it is today. My brother in Sadow, Macron Sadow, you are truly a great asset to this Clan, and I hope your services will remain with us and be long lived well into the future.
Congratulations,
Lord Xanos
Son of Sadow
Macron has been a shining example of what this club stands for. His first objective in any leadership role has always been, "Are we having fun?" Whether a flight leader or Consul, he has always made this priority and has gone above and beyond to ensure that the people in his care are enjoying the DB. He is one of the first to greet each and every new member to the clan, offering his assistance in anyway necessary. He has participated in every major and minor event; showing his support for Clan Naga Sadow. He has contributed extensively to the clan's wiki pages, creating new and wonderful things to aid in the fictional universe that is Clan Naga Sadow. He has mentored to me personally, helping me grow, seeing my potential and feeding it. It is with pleasure that I recommend him for this promotion to Sith Warlord.

Ahhh....Macron Goura....
When I think of the noble legacy of the Consuls of Clan Naga Sadow, I envision the legacy of the Clan itself. We are a united front, loyaly, trustworthy, committed to honor. Macron upholds the highest standards of the ideals of our Clan. He is brave without being boorish, he is responsible without being overbearing. He demands activity, without coercion, and reinforces the bonds that have made this Clan strong over the years.
I am proud to have him counted as a fellow Consul of Clan Naga Sadow, and a Brother in Sadow. He has reminded me of my own reasons to be a member of the Brotherhood of Dark Jedi, and stands as a beacon of support, leadership, and ultimately of triumph for our Clan, and the continuance of the Final Way itself.
As a student, he shows the depth of insight to be willing to take advice, and chart his own paths... possibly even to make a mistake.. with courage.
Of my Brothers, Macron has earned the levels of my respect.
In triumph,
Master T. I. Sadow
The history of Clan Naga Sadow is rife with the achievements of exemplary members. Our Traditions and indeed our very Legacy stand upon our ability to recognize and cultivate extraordinary individuals and in my many years of membership in this clan I have seen few people of Macron Keibatsu Sadow's caliber. Not one month after joining the Brotherhood he was granted not one but two positions as an Eclectic Pedagogue and as a Flight Leader and from there his career only went higher. Within two months he became a Battleteam Leader and from there moved into the position of first Aedile and then Quaestor of House Ludo Kressh where he served with distinction turning it into the First House of Clan Naga Sadow before being appointed as Proconsul where he worked diligently to ensure the smooth operation of the clan.
Yet all this pales compared to his exemplary leadership as Consul of Clan Naga Sadow. Seizing the reigns of leadership mere moments before the start of the Seventh Great Jedi War, Macron has lead his clan in the best possible manner
from the front. He never asks others to do what he himself would not; he inspires confidence and fosters a sense of community not found within the rest of the Brotherhood. He is always willing to help a member in need often times going out of his way to insure that they receive the support they deserve from their Consul and friend. His genuine excitement and great love of his clan, its membership, and the rest of the Brotherhood are what make Macron an excellent leader and an outstanding gentleman.
It is my most profound honor to serve beside Macron, and my greatest privilege to recommend his promotion to Sith Warlord. I have no doubt that in time he will become one of this organization's most valued and trusted Elders.
