Mako, also known as Sight, is one of the pillars of his household, fixture and beacon both. He as been a cornerstone to Galeres as one of its active members and occasional leaders ever since he first joined it, and remains as such to this day.

Since his last merit alone, a mere three months ago, Mako’s activity output has been jaw-dropping. He’s participated in over forty five competitions just in that time, while organizing several others, including a recurring trivia series for his clanmates, geared towards helping the clan’s Journeymen. He has also become involved with our Mentorship Program along with a few other individuals, and in the process begun not only improving the project internally but also beginning to encourage his other members and branch out into further Brotherhood activities. He has strived to involve his brothers in sisters in various gaming endeavors, both as a FIST Magistrate and as a regular gamer, and also gives back to the Battleteam he’s so long been a part of as its Sergeant, assisting in reports, competition grading, and email hype.

It is for these copious amounts of activity — which his Quaestor and Aedile will further detail — and for his work in aiding both Arcona and the Brotherhood as a whole that we offer this Grand Cross. Congratulations, Mako.

Mako Henymory continues to impress not only in his activity, but in what he offers to others within Galeres and Arcona. Leadership is often measured in days, weeks and months by title, sometimes we forget what it means to be a leader among peers. Mako has never failed to lead not only by example in his own actions, but by encouraging others to push themselves beyond the limits they set for themselves. He has done this by providing competitions for members to participate in, he is always available by Telegram (and formerly IRC) for members who need help, or have questions.

During my time as Battleteam Leader for the Nighthawk, Mako was instrumental in the development and use of the Nighthawk’s special forces team the Talon’s, including creation of statistics, personality and wikipedias for the NPC’s. These elements continue to be used regularly within Nighthawk’s Run-Ons and Fiction by the Battleteam’s Members.

For your contributions to your Battleteam, your House and Clan, I’m thankful to be able to reward Mako with the Grand Cross of the Darkside.

Oooh Mako, you glorious bastard. A pillar of gaming activity for Nighthawk and Galeres, Mako is always ready to jump in to throw down in Destiny and other games. His time spent on Telegram engaging his fellows is impressive and sometimes scary, but always fun. Our time on the Nighthawk together with you as my Commandant was, well, magicial. It still haunts my dreams some nights. Mako was a great source of inspiration and knowledge when I took over Nighthawk from Uji and helped direct me in the molding and development of the Team. A lot of the activity and impressive track record for the BT is a credit to Mako’s commitment and drive. You made my time as Captain all the more fun and interesting and for that I’m happy to help show my appreciation for him with this Grand Cross.

Good job man.

Commander Mako, as you can see above, he’s a ton of help! He’s active, social, helpful, and a great leader. He has been working with me on anything and everything to make sure that not only Nighthawk is satisfied, but also the house, clan, and DJB as a whole are all happy! He’s played a vital role by being my second in command by helping me out whenever I need something. He is always quick to respond and has a lot of the answers. He even has the humility to say when he doesn’t know, and will always come back to you with the answer as soon as possible. He’s activity alone is merit enough for this award, as it was laid out above. Mako has had a direct positive impact on both my leadership and the Nighthawk, and he continues to drive the Brotherhood forward from his other positions as well. Thank you for all you do for us Mako! Congratulations, Mako!
