I can honestly say that this man deserves to have a merit medal by far. Kano aka Ryuk, started off his time in the DB several months ago and he took his time rising through the ranks, up until early August when the Army decided that he had not processed out of the Army the proper way. Since then he has struggled to get internet service as well as time to just hang out with the clan. During the Feud he was able to go to the USO on base to get internet time, so that he could actually participate in events for the Children of War Feud. He participated in over 5 events and place in 3 of them. Meanwhile he was also fighting the USO for internet time because the USO would close after 530pm EST. It is with my greatest opinion that Kano deserves the Anteian Cross for his dedication to his house, his clan, and now more importantly, his job as Sergeant of the Night Raptors.

Kano Verda has been extremely dedicated to the Dark Brotherhood since he joined. I remember when he was still fairly new to the site, I would fail at attempting to get his attention because he was busy participating in activities through mIRC or taking a test! Then, when Kano left to deal with his discharge through the Army the first conversation I had with him since he left resulted in him saying, "Can you email Fremoc and tell him I need a LOA?" within the first 5 minutes.

Since he has been gone, Kano's time on the internet has been extremely restricted. He has time limitations, and other obligations that interfere with his ability to use the computer as frequently as he'd like. Despite these restrictions Kano has made every possible attempt, and has succeeded, at staying just as active as he would if he were at home. He has still found a way to be a dedicated member of the Night Raptors, a strong Battle Team Leader, further develop his character, participate in activities during the Feud, establish a run-on, run competitions, play games, and help me with any DB confusion I may have! For all of his hard work and dedication, especially despite the extenuating circumstances that he is currently under, I feel that Kano is very deserving of a merit medal. -PRT Baki Keiju

Kano is one of the up and coming members of House Marka Ragnos and Clan Naga Sadow. As a relatively new member, he has taken part in many competitions, including many of the events in the recent House Feud. To top that, his winning application earned him the spot as a fresh Battleteam Leader in his House. He is to be commended on being one of those few Journeymen who put everything into what they do. - SBL Ashura Isradia, Proconsul

Following the discussions of the Sadow Conclave of September 2009, we have decided to award Kano this Anteian Cross for his outstanding performance during the Clan Feud in the face of such stress and real-life hassle. Kano has shown that he has the determination to help Marka Ragnos in any way that he can, and we feel that this merit award shows our appreciation for that attitude. Congratulations, Kano!
