The rank of Pontifex is the pinnacle of Krath Power. Very few ever see this rank and even fewer truly deserve the honor. It is without a doubt in my mind that RevengeX Palpatine is deserving of the honor.

RevengeX is everything I would want from a leader in the Dark Brotherhood. He leads from the front, as shown in his third place finish in the GJW. He reports consistently keeping his house up to date, as shown on the DB database, and he is loyal and decidated, as shown by his 1 and a half years as QUA of HAD.

It is my honor to elevate RevengeX. Congratulations!

Darth Sarin Grand Master of the Dark Brotherhood

Pontifex. The last plateau before Elderhood. Those who reach this plane are destined for greatness. They are the ones that have shown that they can stand the test of time in the tumultuous and oft changing Dark Brotherhood. They have shown that they are bastions of activity, idealism, and leadership. There are few individuals within Clan Scholae Palatinae truly deserving of the rank of Equite, Fourth Level. One of those is House Acclivis Draco’s longest sitting Quaestor, RevengeX Palpatine.

RevengeX, in a nutshell, is the epitome of a Dark Brotherhood member. He competes in everything, wins a good portion of the competitions he enters, and directs his House towards greatness. In the last 18 months, RevengeX has maintained HAD’s banner of excellence, leading them in a come from behind victory in the Reclamation of Judecca. HAD was down and out at the beginning of week 4, well behind both Caliburnus and the upstart Dorimad Sol. This is when RevengeX’s true leadership shone through to push his House and vault them over both Houses to claim victory.

This, all after pushing himself, his House, and his Clan to near greatness in the Eighth Great Jedi War. Were it not for Revenge, there is no way CSP would have come as close to first as we did. His actions and desires earned him third place overall, not an easy feat.

Beyond individual accomplishments, RevengeX is a model leader. His reports are concise, on time, disseminate the proper amount of information, and are almost always entertaining. He leads projects with vim and vigor and was the first to complete his House’s facilities, a 40+ page document of pure text outlining the minute details of ALL of House Acclivis Draco’s buildings and facilities. These documents have provided the graphics crew of CSP with enough information to being modeling the buildings in 3D, furthering the overall goal of CSP to provide more graphical representation and fictionality to our members to fully immerse them in the world of the Dark Brotherhood.

RevengeX has also remodeled and recoded the CSP website to include a great deal more functionality, including taking two ideas from me and making them a possibility. These two features will revolutionize the way CSP handles the Master-Student Program as well as competition entries. He has also contributed to the highly important CSP artifact team, delving deep into research of the “Heart of the Dragon,” HAD’s ancient artifact.

Through his actions, his leadership, and his attitude, RevengeX Palpatine has shown himself to hold all the values and traits that we as a Brotherhood should strive towards. It is my honor to call him friend and my pleasure to recommend him for elevation to the rank of Krath Pontifex.

RevengeX has been the pinnacle of what a DB member should be. Since the moment he arrived in the CSP, I knew he would go far. He is a powerhouse, motivator and cornerstone of this Clan and I am proud to call him my brother. In his ridiculously long reign as QUA of HAD, we have not always seen eye-to-eye, but he always helps me to do what is best for the Clan. He has worked tirelessly to rebuild the history behind HAD and give his house a foundation and a legacy that anyone could be proud of. His attitude has helped push CSP into the front running of the DB and a contender for the top Clan.

He has used his skills to create a major facilities project that describes in depth the entire compound of HAD giving us the ability to make 3d images fully detailing his amazing work. His leadership and skill brought CSP Second Clan in the GJW and himself Third Hero. Immediately following the GJW, RevengeX led his house to a come behind win, pulling their forces and taking back First House of CSP.

He is my council, adviser, friend and brother. It has been long overdue for this promotion and it is my honor and privilege to recommend Rev to the Highest level of the Equite Class. Congrats my brother, it is well deserved.
