Dedication and hard work are the highest traits I am searching for on every member of Taldryan. One particular member who fits best into these two traits is Dark Jedi Knight Talon Drear. Upon his rejoining Taldryan over 2 years ago Talon has shown an ever growing dedication towards his House through various activities that granted him a wide range of rewards, ranging from Clusters of Fire up to a Dark Cross. He also shows a strong presence on both IRC and E-mail, always pushing other members to participate in the events of the Dark Crusade. To some degree it was this presence that planted the seeds of enthusiasm to around him to do their part in the House during the Crusade.
Even in the Past Talon has been an example of activity, as shown by the rewards he has been re-rewarded for the events dating before the Split:
- Steel Cross Awarded
- Anteian Cross Awarded
- Dark Cross Awarded x 3
- Bronze Nova Awarded x 3
- Silver Nova Awarded
- Cluster of Fire Awarded
- Legion of the Scholar Awarded
Another traits that define Talon in a positive way were his unselfishness and modesty: over the course of many years Talon has been at the rank of Dark Jedi Knight foremost to the reason he didnât saw himself fitting the role of an Equite of Taldryan and that for remanded a promotion more than once to be changed to a medal and as of late he has started to stretch out his fingers on how to improve the average participation and activity among the other members of Taldryan.
Talon Drear: Despite passing the only down written promotion requirement to be elevated to the tier of Equitehood it were your soft skills that really make me think you are eligible for a promotion to the rank of Obelisk Templar. You have all I am looking for on a loyal member of Taldryan, you have worked hard for this and are more than worth for this price.
With this I am requesting your elevation to the rank of Obelisk Templar. Congratulations, and now arise, an Equite soldier of Taldryan.

What can I say about Talon Drear? Perhaps the longest serving, active Dark Jedi Knight in the Dark Brotherhoodâs history. This is not for a lack of desire to participate, or of actually being active. Tally is an odd little duck, who loved the idea of being a Dark Jedi Knight that he constantly refused promotions, so that he could remain the rank he loved. His history in the DB dates back into the 1990s, and since that time he has been a staunch and loyal member of Clan Taldryan.
Tally has always been what you would call a team player. He cares little for personal advancement, but loves participating and helping out the team. It was his drive and dedication that lead the efforts of Team Awesome that recently placed third in the second month of the Dark Crusades. He has been constantly offering his ideas and his advice where he can to both new and old members alike, and never once thinking about his own ego. It is a rare and amazing attitude to find in the Dark Brotherhood, and one worthy of both our recognition, and our respect.
Talon Drear is one of the most deserving candidates for promotion to the rank of Obelisk Templar that I have ever seen, now that the crazy stubborn bastard is finally willing to accept it.
The following is for the lazy ass MAA Office who apparently canât read through text to pick out accomplishments that are not in list form.
-Owns a Steel Cross, which is the only solid criteria on the wiki.
-Has sent over 80 emails in a 60 day period to Taldryan both encouraging and spawning creativity.
-Spent multiple hours on IRC
-Participated in 6 Events over the course of the first two months of the Dark Crusades.
-Helped organize and manage a Top 3 Finishing runon in the March version of the Dark Crusades.
-Guided and assisted other members in order to help them participate in various events within the Dark Crusades.
-Has completed multiple SA Courses outside of competitions.
-Is Dutch, and despite that, is still awesome.

Talon is a real asset to Taldryan. He's an active presence on both irc and e-mail and a great member of the house. His enthusiasm is hugely valuable and must be commended. Talon would have been promoted some time ago were it not for his quirky attachment to the DJK rank ;)
Promotion through the equite ranks has always been about dedication, consistent activity, and being an asset to your clouse. Talon embodies all three. He's already started to encourage activity in others, despite having no formal remit to do so - he does it because he's a great team player.
