Elevation Request: Dark Jedi Knight Gavan Sykes Mandalore (7610)

Trials of the Dragon

Jedi Hunter Gavan has been under my tutelage since the dawn of the Sixth Great Jedi War. And, perhaps, has been my toughest Apprentice to track - his progression - as he is an integral part of the DBPA. However, I believe that he has proven himself a regular, constant source of activity and maturity that is the standard of Scholae Palatinae Knights.

As the Sith Grand Admiral of the DBPA, Gavan is the primary go-to guy for all tasks related to Imperial Piloting. According to Raidoner, Gavan is simply the best. He spends countless hours each week helping members of the Guild attain the rank of 'Ace', as well as several others whom are allied to our Guild. In short, he acts as a role model and source of knowledge for the Dark Brotherhood to this diverse facet of our culture. His contributions cannot be enumerated; however, I know his total log of hours played in the name of the Dark Brotherhood eclipses three hundred (300) total hours. He has, in my opinion, gone beyond the minimum expectations to develop into a fine leader in this venue.

Clan Scholae Palatinae recently attained the honor of Second Clan in the Brotherhood Vendetta "Rites of Supremacy: Second Darkness" compiling 330 Clan points - outstripping four rival Clans to affirm their right as an Elite Clan. For contributions, participation and tenacity to ensure the Clan's wartime efforts... I wanted to recognize Gavan. Compiling 50 individual points in the MP Gaming & Fiction Events - accruing three Seals of Darkness - and taking the rank of 94th Overall in the Vendetta.

Since his elevation to Jedi Hunter, Gavan has accrued over one hundred and fifty (150) Clusters of Fire, has participated in Gaming Nights, SIT (3), the Outer Rim War, the Arcona versus Scholae Palatiane Feud (3 Events). Most improbably, Gavan also began to show his diversity by participating in the Rites of Supremacy Fiction event - taking a large step forward towards his fulfillment as a member. He has been inducted into the Order of the Dragon - where he serves as a Role Model for House Acclivis Draco.

Lastly, and most importantly, Gavan has stepped forward as a mediator. He recently took the initiative to help settle the difference between two members and while the situation had escalated beyond his control... the sheer fact he attempted to step in and help two people overcome their squabble... it speaks volumes.

For all of these things, as a sum total, I request his elevation to Knighthood.
