Bentre, Benny, aka The Chaos Duck, did not let getting elder slow him down. He continued to make meaningful contributions to the club and set an example for others to follow. I had the honor of having Bentre as my Praetor until real life claimed him (as it does with so many of us). He brought a calm, professional demeanor to all aspects of his service and his thoughtful council as a veteran leader and gamer in the club was something that I greatly valued and helped the early days of my Fist term.
Bentre provided direct input to 4 new gaming platforms, adjustment to cluster values, a change to in-game guild policies, casual queue policies and getting the Rites of Combat updated for GJW XVI. Additionally, while it was not his primary duty he still managed to personally review 135 gaming submissions providing timely and accurate support to 73 unique members. The Fist office and the gaming community as a whole benefitted from Bentre’s wisdom and dedication.
For setting a high example for other Elders to follow he has more than earned his elevation to Master. QUACK!

Adept Bentre Sadow, aka The Chaos Duck, Drake Mallard the harbinger of heroism and just good ol’ Benny. There is so much to be said about this guy and the dedication he has given not only to Clan Naga Sadow, but to the Club as well. Bentre’s impact on the Brotherhood will be covered for certain. However, I would like to point out, making it to the Elder rank is one accomplishment, progressing through them is a whole other path to challenge oneself with. Bentre has done just that, I would go as far as saying when one asks what an Elder or a leader of the Club would look like, Bentre would be in that picture.
Since his last promotion, Bentre has put together one hundred and thirty comps and co-organized seven more comps for members to partake in. When he was not organizing fun filled activities Bentre participated in three hundred and eighty one competitions. Which has earned himself quite the buffet of accolades which include one Emerald Dagger, four Sapphire Blades, one Anteian Cross and three Gold Nova’s. He also snagged one hundred and sixty one Crescents, three PoB’s and a whopping eight thousand seven hundred and fifty eight clusters.
Oh it does not end there quite yet, to round out this steady flow of activity, Bentre has earned forty nine Scrolls of Foundation, two Scrolls of Indoctrination, a Seal of Loyalty, twenty nine Seals of Ascension and six Seals of Transcendence.
Bentre since joining the Club has grinded through his career with milestone after milestone. Being a leader is just one of those milestones. Leading is just in his DNA, proven by all of his Summit time. Which includes four years as Consul alone. In the last several years there has not been a CNS member that has not been influenced by his mentorship and calming demeanor.
Bentre has worn many hats throughout this grind, in and out of the Clan he has done the work and put in the time. Taking on the responsibilities as a Magistrate and a Praetor along with being a member of the Wiki Tribune staff. Fortunately it does not stop there, the Adept is also an academic scholar as well as an esteemed Professor within the Shadow Academy. Now as a member of the Star Chamber he will be advising the Grand Master on Club matters.
It is with great pleasure to be a part of Bentre's ascension to Elder II. Congrats on this well earned promotion!!!!

Bentre has served the Brotherhood well, providing resources for others to utilise and acted as an example to follow.
He never asks for anything for himself, he is just here to have fun and ensure other people have fun.
Benny is more than deserving of Elder II. He has served at a House, Clan and Club level during his time here.
Howie, put the declined stamp away, you won't need it for this one. :P

Bentre has been on our radar for a little while now. He's been a solid and strong contributor to the gaming culture in CNS even as life has demanded more and more of his free time. He's been a solid advisor, with calm and collected thoughts and perspectives on how to handle anything that comes up, a steady hand to the point where he has been invited to stand on the Star Chamber. He's a pillar of the clan, a good friend to all, and is always willing to do whatever he can to help drive activity forward, even in his retirement.
Bentre is already a Master, and I am more than pleased to be a part of the process to have his status shown officially on his dossier.
Thank you for all that you have done, and for all that you will certainly do.
