The Dark Side of the Force is a dangerous mistress who loves only those who are deserving of power. In this GJW and in the year past, Epis Shin'ichi Endymiron Keibatsu has proven a worthy recipient. On this date, marked in blood, I, Grand Master Sarin, elevate Shin'ichi Endymiron Keibatsu to Krath Pontifex.
Dark Lord Sarin
In the fictional Sense, Shin'Ichi is my 'most trusted lieutenant', and to be honest, in reality it's not far from the truth. Any project I undertake, Shin is right there, supporting, lending his help where he can. One of the most obvious places where I see his influence is in the recent Hand to hand combat guide, where he spent a great deal of time helping me organize my thoughts, and penning several of the arts himself. An extra set of eyes is always helpful to have, and Shin often serves in that regard for me, helping to proofread and refine my ideas. In addition to this, he has been a resurgent force in Naga Sadow, serving once again as Rollmaster to help guide the clan's new members, and more recently, a newly appointed Proconsul of the clan during wartime. His plate is quite full, and yet Shin'ichi manages it well. It is for these reasons that I feel compelled to reccomend Shin'ichi to the rank of Krath Pontifex. Well done, brother, and many thanks for your work. ~ Muz Sadow, Shadow Hand.
Since joining the Brotherhood, I have not come across a member neither as committed nor as dedicated nor as selfless nor as giving as Krath Epis Shin'ichi Endymiron Keibatsu. He has mentored me throughout my own career, becoming the main proponent of my joining the Keibatsu family, mentoring me to the rank of Dark Jedi Knight and encouraging me to assume many leadership positions, including ACC Judge and Trainer, Tetrarch of the CNS Phyle Jade Serpents, and Rollmaster of Clan Naga Sadow.
While serving as a member of the Jade Serpents, Shin was more than willing to place his ego aside and faithfully serve under my command despite the fact he outranked me. On the contrary, he chose to become a "model" Phyle member, racking up an impressive string of rewards, garnering no less than twenty awards for service to his Clan, mentorship to younger members, and prowess over his peers; Shin has even been awarded a Grand Cross of The Dark Side, an outstanding feat by any stretch of the imagination.
Further, he has given his services in the creation of a Hand-to-Hand Combat Guide, something that is soon to be incorporated in the ACC as invaluable a tool as the Lightsaber guide.
Most recently, he has been appointed Proconsul of Clan Naga Sadow, leading our Clan against the Vong and doing what he knows best: leading by example. He has, to the best of my knowledge, participated in every facet of the Great Jedi War to date, including the Gaming portions. I have also, in my role as Rollmaster, have taken note of his work in the Clan's Master Student Program, as he has encouraged his current student to take part in the current War as well, and sent several encouraging messages to the whole of the Clan.
If you were to search the body of the Dark Brotherhood high and low, you would be hard-pressed to find such a member as Shin'ichi Endymiron Keibatsu. He is truly deserving of the promotion to Krath Pontifex.

Shin'ichi is by far one of the best PCON's I've seen in a long time. He is VERY dedicated to his job and is a fun person to associate with. I havent known him very long but I would consider him a friend. He has worked hard for the GJW, fighting to make sure that his Clan will prosper. He emails the Clan frequently and it is a great honor to be serving under him. He will make an outstanding CON in the future and will most likely go onto much bigger thing's such as landing on the Council. With his amazing activity and dedication to his Clan and the Club as a whole I can honestly say that the DB is a much better place with the likes of him around.
It's hard to list everything he's done but the remnants of projects he has worked on can be seen throughout the Brotherhood, the HTH guide being one of his many projects. Shin you deserve this promotion and I'm honored to be writing a recc for you my friend. Keep up your hard work and you'll always have my support.

Krath Epis Shin'ichi Endymiron Keibatsu has been a member of Clan Naga Sadow since before I joined the Dark Brotherhood. In my time with the Children of Sadow he has been one of the foremost figures throughout the Clan's long history, serving in numerous positions throughout the years, from Quaestor, to Rollmaster, to Primus of the Black Guard and now finally to Proconsul on the Clan Summit itself.
Shin'ichi is one of the few who has stuck with the Clan through thick and thin, being of the most dedicated and devoted individuals in the Clan. Despite taking time out several years back, since his return to the Clan at full steam a few ago he has been one of the strongest members of the Clan. More recently his service as Rollmaster is almost unrivalled, Shin'ichi being one of the most successful the Clan has seen in recent times. Presently his work as Proconsul has been highly commendable, his drive and desire to win stronger than most. Since his elevation to the post he has thrown himself at his work, leading by example from the front, involving himself in as many aspects of the war as possible.
All in all, Shin'ichi has been a Krath Epis for far too long. His elevation to Krath Pontifex will mark him one step closer to joining the ranks of the Elders, an honour I am sure he will recieve in time, for it is another on the long list of things he is long overdue to recieve.
Congratulations Proconsul, Adjutant General, Primus.

I would like to reccomend Shin'Ichi for an elevation. Since his last promotion on 8/31/06, he has: Passed an additional 9 SA courses, helped write the HTH Guide, wrote for the SA, served as RM, Magistrate, and Praetor, earned an SC, GC, DC, a Gold Nova, Silver Nova, 11 Seals, 12 Crescents. an SI, 1 DSS, 2 Scrolls of Foundation, and 3 LSS. He participated well in the last RoS, being one of our top scorers and motivators. This does not include any awards from the current GJW, in which he has participated in the following events: fiction, poetry, GFX, gaming, ACC, and the run-on. Shin has been an excellent Proconsul and Conclave member, doing what needs to be done. I can rely on him as a competent XO to see to the needs of the Clan, and take care of buisness as directed or when I cannot. He helped keep track of the members during the war(s), sent many motivating emails and graphics, designed warbanners, and dealt with disciplinery issues. In short, he is fantastic, and I am very glad to have him at my right hand.
Congratulations, Shin'Ichi.
