It is an honor and a pleasure to recommend SBM Aabsdu di Plagia Dupar al'Tor for the rank of Sith Battlelord. We often see members of the Dark Brotherhood enter the early Equite ranks and never advance any further. Typically these members fail to understand that elevation into the upper echelon of Equite ranks requires a dedication that transcends the self. Aabsdu is perfect example of a member who transcends the self and has reached a level of activity that is a benefit to the DB as a whole.

Aabsdu has served six months at Battlemaster. Two of those months were spent as a House Summit, while the other four were spent making an enormous impact on the Dark Brotherhood and Clan Plagueis as a Clan Summit.

Aabsdu has been a prime example of an active, motivated leader who follows the principle of “lead by example.” As Proconsul, Aabsdu completed innumerable projects, including the History of the Sith Empire II course, updates the Clan Plagueis portions of the DJBWiki and oversaw the updating of the Clan’s and both House’s history. Along with his tremendous online presence, Aabsdu is one of the influential gaming members of Plagueis and pushes the gaming aspects of the Dark Brotherhood as much as possible. He has also ran several competitions, including two major fiction and several small competitions, such as trivia. As Consul, Aabsdu has continued to carry on various projects, overseeing and adding to the new promotion system concept, working on the Clan Epic. In addition, Aabsdu is an active member of the GMRG and a key member of the Gaming Staff. Aabsdu is a tireless leader who strives to get Plagueis as active as possible and motivate all members from the highest to the lowest rank. He is truly deserving of a promotion to Battlelord. ~CP PCON, KAP Valerian di Plagia Orzon

SBM Aabsdu di Plagia Dupar al'Tor is a workhorse, there's really no other way to put it. Even though he's still learning the ropes of what is involved to be a Consul, and his time as Proconsul was short, he's still proving to be an effective leader. He makes effective use of the experience and talents around him, and as such Clan Plagueis will continue to prosper under his reign. Along with his normal duties, Aabs is constantly organizing and guiding the way with new projects, including ensuring that all of the information on the DJB Wiki is correct where Clan Plagueis is concerned. Aabsdu realizes that the future of the clan resides in the experience and leadership of the past, and as such has made it his mission to bring the Elders and senior Equite of Clan Plagueis into more visible roles to help guide the next generation within the clan. The Dark Jedi Brotherhood could certainly use more leaders like SBM al'Tor, and as such I can't think of anyone at this time more deserving of an elevation to Sith Battlelord, he is certainly deserving of joining the ranks of the senior Equites within Clan Plagueis and the Dark Jedi Brotherhood. ~SBL Salth Khan, Nightmaster of Clan Plagueis

There isn’t a whole lot I can say about Aabsdu because I havent known him long enough to judge him on his personality but I can say that he is/will remain an excellent Consul for months to come. He has done his part in informing me on the way Clan Plagueis works and does so without complaint. He can usually always be found on IRC and always responds to emails within a 24 to 48 hour period. He has made multiple competitions from what I see and is all for activity while maintaining a level of fun that should be eminent in every Clan. Speaking on his personality I can say that he has all the potential in the world. He is kind and puts others before himself, a selfless leader, a trait that every leader should strive for. I can honestly say that I am enjoying my stay in Clan Plagueis more then I ever did in Arcona and it's because of Aabsdu that it was made possible. I have enjoyed working with him so far and I plan on working with him for a long time. Keep up the good work Aabs and never forget that this club is about fun and Star Wars. Two thing's many people in the Brotherhood often forget. Keep your head up and you'll go far. ~HEK QUA, SBL Quejo Bandon Xyler

As long as I’ve been in Clan Plagueis Aabsdu has been in the forefront. The amount of work that he has done to improve this clan is measured in leaps and bounds. Since his ascension to Clan Consul he has always made sure that we are constantly improving ourselves and insuring that we do what needs to be done in our positions. Aabs does everything that is needed of him even if when doing so might not be very fun. He is more than deserving of this promotion. ~HEK QUA, OT Ky Terrak

I have known Aabs since before my time in CP, when he was just starting to play SWG. When he joined I thought oh great another house in the PA to get mine lost around, but I was soon proven wrong. Soon after joining he was following around in events taking pictures and posting on the MBs, and generally assisting where he could. After joining CP as AED for HSK I noticed he was one of the whirlwinds of activity within the Clan, running a Battleteam War as well as coming up with ideas for the clan and general activity from what comps were posted as Clan wide. Moving down the road he rose up to the position of AED of HEK bringing the House to its pinnicle of activity and driving his members to compete in the GJW at the time. He has done well enough that he was selected to be PCON for Clan where he formalized Clan Wiki projects, began working on the Clan Epic, and began to pull us out of the slump we got into following the war. Now as CON he is finalizing the Clan Epic, helping with the ongoing inter-house Battleteam War, and helping with the coming Month long HSK war event. I honestly believe that if anyone in the Clan deserves a promotion to DJK+3 it is Aabs. While I know that awards and promotions mean little to him, I for one wish to show my gratitude for his efforts in the way of a promotion. ~HSK AED, OP Daniel Stephens.

An excellent organizer and motivator, Aabsdu has already helped organize not only the Envoy system within the clan but has also reworked the promotion system to help streamline the promotions of journeymen while bringing it to standard with the rest of the DB. He has been monitoring all the journeymen's promotion points and upgrading the clan website. He has been an inspirational leader and a kind and friendly helping hand to new people. ~CP Envoy, SBL Kell Wraith
