Sanjuro's come a long way. From a enthusiastic noobcake who couldn't write his way otu of a paper sack and got utterly destroyed at SWGB to the solid writer and consistent, albeit quiet, supporter of CNS he is now, Sledge has shown that he cares about the club enough to work hard and long to better his own skills. It's been several years since Sledge has joined, and he's gone through a few phases in his characters, molting old ideas as he grew his own story.
<br>
One of the things that struck me about him is that he works an awful lot like a secret weapon. Largely overlooked because he is so low profile, people will forget or underestimate him. This is a mistake, as he has proven to be a formidable asset in several Great Jedi Wars and Rites of Supremacy. Slow and deliberate, Sanjuro has always been one to take measured steps toward his goals. He has taken his time in his endeavors, a strive for perfection evident in his works when others may just scramble to put something together. This reflects well in him, at least in my eyes. I know most elders in the club would rather see more researched and well-thought-out submissions than otherwise. Having read his recent final task for Manesh, I was floored by it's quality and scope. His submissions to all competitions bear this same mark of distinction.
<br>
After almost two years of working on his Knight Trials, Manesh approached me recently about getting him his saber, and I felt a swell of pride. As my student, he has easily been the most changed, the one who has taken the most from my tutelage and used it to make himself better. He's gone through all the trials, almost twice, due to the standards changing a few times. And I agree...It is high time that Sanjuro be granted the right to carry a saber as a Dark Jedi Knight of the Brotherhood.

Congratulations, Sanjuro. ~Muz Sadow, Herald of the Brotherhood.

Sanjuro has been a dedicated and powerful part of the CNS family. He has participated in every major vendetta, fighting with diligence and loyalty for his Clan, aiding them in anyway possible. His skills as a writer can not go unnoticed as they have improved dramatically over his time in the Brotherhood. In his time since attaining the rank of Jedi Hunter, he has received a Crescent with an Amethyst Star for taking first place in Muz's Black Gaurd comp, three Crescents with Sapphire Stars for winning first place in a CNS Trivia Challenge, Ashia's Black Guard Comp and the CNS Historical Campaign and two Crescents with Topaz Stars for the Memories of the Past CNS House Feud comp and third place in the Enemy, Mine Competition. He was awarded the Seal of Conquest for the Obelisk Rite of Supremacy, the Legion of Scholar for the CNS trivia challenge, two Anteian Crosses for participation in the 6th GJW and taking 11th place in the CNS house feud, Return to the Phare System. He has earned two seals of duplicity for events in the 6th GJW and two Seal's of Darkness for events in the recent Rite of Supremacy. He has completed his lightsaber fiction, participated in more competitions then is required and taking first place in a lot of them and completed his major task set forth by his Consul. Sanjuro has gone above and beyond the call of duty to attain this rank as the trials have changed several times since his last promotion, but he has remained patient throughout it all. I am proud to say that Sanjuro 'Sledge' Keibatsu has more then earned the rank of Dark Jedi Knight and the privilege to wield a sabre for Clan Naga Sadow. ~

Jedi Hunter Sanjuro Sledge Keibatsu has been one of those steadily active members for a long time in House Ludo Kressh. He's one of those quiet people who come any vendetta or big event you can garantee will just appear and participate well without having to be pushed.
<br>
Since his last promotion he has earned an impressive six Crescents for participating and placing in competitions, has earned four Seals for helping his Clan in vendettas, worked hard in the last House Feud for HLK, and has earned himself a Legion of the Scholar and two Anteian Cross's for his efforts.
<br>
Sledge is a valued long time member of his House and Clan and for all his efforts above has earned this promotion to Dark Jedi Knight and the right to carry and use a light saber.
