Kano, Kano, Kano… Where to start… Kano is an amazing guy. He’s one of those people that you desperately wish was on your battleteam or in your house or clan instead of someone else. For me, I wish he was in my battleteam as he is one of the most active members of House Marka Ragnos that I know of, however as it is he’s the Battleteam Leader of the Night Raptors, and as much as I would love to have him on my own team, him leading his own is I think even better for the house as a whole. His enthusiasm towards anything Star Wars is evident in everything he does, especially when you get him started on Mandalorian, as seen with the recent April Fools Joke that he was involved in with Muz. Overall, he’s just a good guy to be around. Kano is constantly on mIRC and will hold a good, and often humorous, conversation that can make anyone’s bad day a good one. He has worked hard and the work he has done is quality work at that, for example his Wiki page. If you want a good afternoon read, that’s what one should go look at. On top of the work he has already done, Kano has several ideas to make the House and Battleteam an even better and more fun place. I can think of no one better to be promoted for all the hard work they’ve done. Kano fully deserves to be an Equite 1.

Over the past several months Kano has been a diligent and active member of the Brotherhood and has gone above and beyond to ensure that everyone is active and moving. Since his return he has gone above the call of duty to add more targets for the previous Underworld run-on, fought admirably during the RoS to ensure his clan placed in third overall. Since assuming command of the Night Raptors, Kano has done anything and everything he can to keep his battleteam up and moving. Launching a weekly competition for the Night Raptors while challenging his team members to achieve the same ammount of activity as himself, Kano is a model member of the House. His constant drive to participate and advance the Brotherhood also led to him working alongside Grand Master Muz to execute this year's April Fools prank. It is my belief that Kano Verda is deserving of promotion to Templar. - Knight Methyas Arcturi L'eonheart Aedile of House Marka Ragnos

Kano has been one of CNS' most active members since he joined; as well as taking up several leadership positions (including BTL of the Night Raptors and BTL of the Bastion) and performing admirably, he has maintained a splendid level of activity for himself by helping CNS out in most of the events in the recent Rite of Supremacy, and notably scoring several important wins for Sadow in the ACC event. On top of this, Kano is constantly entering competitions and engaging other members of the Clan in ACC battles, seeking to maintain his own activity as well as to push others. Kano has reached the minimum time requirement for a promotion to Obelisk Templar, and is more than deserving of this promotion for his near constant level of frenzied activity and his dedication to improving CNS through his work. Congratulations, Kano!

This recommendation is something I’ve been waiting to do for a while. Kano is and has been my apprentice, while also his hardest critic, he is also my right hand man and for me to write this recommendation he knows that he has earned his rank. 5 months ago, I don’t think Kano would have been thinking of his promotion to Equite 1. He had just achieved the rank of Dark Jedi Knight and had just returned from the Army. He returned after the Army, and wanted to rejoin his former battleteam. The month went by, with Kano earning several crescents and also an Anteian Cross for his persistent activity and also creating several characters in a clan run on. He was seen fit to become the Battleteam leader of House Ludo Kressh’s new battleteam, The Bastion and built the team up from scratch. During his time in Ludo Kressh, he still did work for me, creating over 5 images for the Disciples of Ragnos wiki page and earning a Dark Cross in the process. Kano fought through the Rite of Supremacy, conquering Raken in the ACC, and taking part in as many events as he possibly could earned himself a Steel Cross and returned back to Marka Ragnos. Only a few short weeks after the RoS, I initiated a house Feud, pitting the two battleteams against each other to earn the title of Elite battleteam, while also the person with the highest amount of points would earn the title of House Champion. Although Kano didn’t earn the title of House Champion, he was the runner up with 46 points. Add those points with everyone else in the Night Raptors, the NR won the house title of being the Elite battle team. During the same time, Bal Demona stepped down from Aedile of Marka Ragnos and allowing Methyas to step up leaving the Night Raptor BTL position open. For the second time, Kano stepped forward and became the Battle team leader of the Night Raptors. Over the past several weeks, he has updated wiki pages for Marka Ragnos, especially adding and updating histories to the Night Raptors wiki, the House Marka Ragnos wiki, and the Mucenic wiki. When someone wants help with a wiki page, either editing, or adding links to the pages he is there to help them. Recently he took on Roxas, as an apprentice to train him in the ways of the Dark Brotherhood and help him in any way possible. I think Kano has shown that he is a committed member to the House, Clan, and Brotherhood, and has definitely earned the rank of Obelisk Templar. Congrats my friend.

Quaestor of Marka Ragnos

Kano was reccomended to me by a couple of people for being the go-to guy for Mandalorian stuff. Having approached him he was not only very versed in the lore, but also quite willing to play into this year's April Fool's Gag, which was to 'create' Independent House Ordo, a Mandalorian only independent house. Kano went full-tilt into the gag, creating documents as if it were an actual proposal, and working with me to help sell the whole story as though it were true. Without his help, I don't think that it would have worked as well as it did, and I think that the few days where he served as Quaestor of IHO will not be his only time in a house-level or higher leadership position. I am more than happy to help reccomend Kano for the next rank, and bid him welcome into the Equite Class. Well done, Kano. ~Muz Ashen, Dark Lord of the Sith
