JH Venator embodies what members in Leadership positions are lucky to have nowadays: an eager Journeyman! In a time when we are faced with the challenges of engaging our younger members, Venator makes our efforts more than worthwhile. He is an avid scholar, having earned a Combat Maven Degree, and a capable writer, submitting an interesting Lightsaber Fiction as well as earning 5 Clusters of Ice for posting meaningful entries in HNS' ongoing developmental run-on,'Unrest In The City'. Before the start of the Vendetta, he has participated in 11 competitions. He has proven his mettle in DB-wide competition, demonstrated by his earning of a Diamond Crescent. He has created his Wiki page, which is of good quality and will only improve as his experiences mount within the Brotherhood. As an apprentice, his Master has reported his work ethic to be impeccable and beyond reproach, completing Tasks set before him without question and with enthusiasm.

Most importantly, Venator has heeded the advice of his Summit, unofficial leadership, and peers and contributed to the Vendetta; these events can be viewed as intimidating to the uninitiated, but Venator dove in without hesitancy, and has made submissions to 5 of the events in 'Disorder'. He seems to have realized that participation equals recognition; I am grateful for his attitude as this demonstrates a realization that one's actions can have an effect on the whole, and in this case, he has done his part to march HNS continually down the path of re-Clanning. For his selflessness, hard-work and energetic presence, I hereby lend my name without reservation or malice aforethought to the Knighting of Venator for valor demonstrated both within his House and on the field of battle. Congratulations, Venator, and proudly take up your 'saber in the name of Sadow!
