Member: KE Dark Sabre Taldrya Time Served: 2 years 1 month Current Position: Judge Positions Held: Judge, Operator and Senior Operator

One of the longest standing and most skilled staff members, Dark Sabre is among the few who have navigated through all aspects of the ACC and it's staff. Hired by Cyris over two years ago, his dedication to the Centre was clear as he dove headlong into duties as a Judge. An unquestionable ethic and honesty with combatants led to his selection as an Operator under Combat Master Alaric. Standing out with both tenure and ability, DS was then selected as a Senior Operator by the current CM until structural changes dissolved the position. Staff members have come and gone, but DS is still there, offering his help and critiques to well over 200 battles. This one aspect of the Brotherhood is perhaps his greatest work, despite his time in other leadership roles, because it is devoid of alignment, save it's alignment to the Brotherhood as a whole. As a combatant, he is equally skilled and perhaps one of the best in the ACC. Winning the first Pilot's Championship Ladder, DS was awarded the title of "Ace". Though they are 'personal' gains and skills and can't really be seen as merits for this award by most - I'd be happy to argue the point. Countless new combatants have patterned themselves after the Epis in both style and imagination, seeming to have found their idol. Influence, positive influence, is a trait we often overlook from those in leadership positions when considering them for awards, but in this case, it's undeniable. I won't attempt to dazzle this recommendation with numbers, two years is a lot of information to sift through. Suffice it to say; at his lowest point of activity, DS's judgments went unquestioned. They were honest, forthright and crystal clear - at his best, his ethics were no different. Over the course of his time, he is responsible for the Judgment of hundreds of battles and the training of many initiates despite not ever having filled the position of a Trainer. He gets around, but he does so because his rapport with the staff allows him to. There will be a day, I'm sure, when we will see DS leave the ACC staff - when that is? Who knows. Rest assured, he will leave knowing he has left his mark on the ACC as one of the longest standing, honorable and knowledgeable staff members that we have had. Until then though, I'd like to extend a "thank you", on behalf of four Combat Masters, to Dark Sabre Taldrya for his extended service and dedication to the Brotherhood and the ACC.

For consistent and much needed service to the office of the KHP. DS offered a lot of work on updating the website, creating the Debate competition, and helping to run that competition. Thanks! - Telona
