Few fully understand the level of commitment necessary to be Grand Master. Those folks that look at the rank and all the little things one gets from the office as still desirable usually end up washing out, drowning under the deluge of a far more limited scope of responsibility. Those that do take on that mantle don't do it out of a desire for glory or for the endless cavalcade of rewards, they do it out of Duty. They know that the club needs them, and that they have to deliver.

It's been 19 months on the throne for Mav, having seen us through two vendettas and numerous changes to the club. It's also been two years since his last award. For any other member, in any other position, there would be layers upon layers of angry leaders and a panda with a phone blowing up. And so we step in, to correct the oversight. To thank him for his work, to sympathize with his frustrations and celebrate his successes, we have nothing but our words, our friendship, and a few really really really shiny pixels.

To that last bit, I am more than proud to submit a recommendation for Telaris 'Mav' Cantor to receive his second Diamond Sword. Call it a token of our Brotherhood's Goodwill, call it an appreciation for all the long hours and all that goes with it, call it a measure of our thanks for all that we have seen you do. Let me be among the first to say "thank you, Mav." The club is a better place for your efforts.

I've had the pleasure of serving on the Dark Council with three different Grand Masters, but before I became Justicar I didn't fully appreciate how much time, effort, and energy the job demands. In the past year and half I've witnessed Mav display a deep and considered understanding of literally every aspect of the Dark Council's work, consult regularly with the consuls about matters ranging from clan fiction to potential changes to the basic structures of the Brotherhood, and, of course, his advice on matters before the Chamber of Justice has been truly invaluable to me. He has a passion for this club and a keen ability to channel that passion into effective leadership. I am very happy to add my recommendation to this award so that Mav can become only the second period in the history of the Brotherhood to dual wield Diamond Swords.

Mav is a great support to me in all the projects and ideas I've had. Both in projects that I've successfully seen complete, and others that either haven't yet or will never see the light of day. He has provided me with guidance, and feedback while trusting me to get the job done.

He has a vision of what the Dark Jedi Brotherhood is and can be, that has been formed over his years of service and contribution. Allowing him to make decisions quickly, with purpose, and keep driving forward.

It has been great working with him on possessions projects as Regent, and I have already learned so much from him as DGM and look forward to working along with him to bring even more projects forward to make the fan experience rewarding and enjoyable for members.
