Sith Bloodfyre has impressed me more than anything in the past weeks. Even before I became DGM officially, Sith was already e-mailing me and asking what he could do to help. He is consistantly eager to help, always taking the initiative to bring up new ideas, and take on new tasks. From talking to others I have found that this is not something new from Sith, but rather a pattern of behavior that has led him to his place at P:DGM. He is deserving of a reward yet it has been some time since one was given. I am very pleased to have him as my Praetor.

An outstanding performance has been achieved by this member since he became a member of the ACC Staff. Congratulations, and may your efforts continue!

Sith has been a part of the Antei Combat Centre since long before I was made Combat Master, and has always been working to his best skill. He is a valuable asset of the Combat Centre, and only wish to see his work be rewarded greatly.

Bloodfyre is the most outstanding Consul I have ever seen. Few others could claim to have the dedication and commitment to their clan that Sith does. He has gone as beyond most, even switching orders so that he may lend additional support and leadership though his participation in the Obelisk Rite of Supremacy and Third Sith War. This is just the tip of the ice berg when it comes to Bloodfyre’s exemplary leadership and overall service to our clan. The least I can offer to my friend and Consul is this Grand Cross for his supreme dedication and service to Clan Tarentum.

The Combat Master is one of those individuals in the DB who constantly asks what he can do to improve the Dark Brotherhood. In the case of Sith Bloodfyre, he does this more so than almost anyone I know.

Dedicated and driven, BF works endlessly to improve aspects of the DB to make it a better place for our members. As the CM, he has submitted countless ideas and changes for the ACC. While, I don't always agree with these changes, one thing is for certain, BF is always on the ball and look for ways to make our Club Better.

Over the past few months BF has looked at changing the way Clans battle, the way the morph halls work, the way the hated handedness system interacts with character sheets, and most importantly he has taken a long and hard look at the upcoming character sheets and is designing ways to make sure the system is implemented in a seamless transition.

This GC is my token of thanks to BF for the effort and hard work he puts into the ACC and the DB as a whole. Thanks.

Once again, Bloodfyre has proven himself an invaluable member of Tarentum by contributing to the Rite of Supremacy. Not only did he place third and earn a Bronze Nova for the poetry event "Tension" against Independent House Revan, but he regularly submitted to fiction events ("Free Form" and "Infinities") and worked extensively on ACC battles, winning the majority of them. Besides that, throughout the RoS, Bloodfyre has shown steadfast leadership as Rollmaster of House Tridens and as an honored Tarentae, sending out motivational e-mails and information in order to keep his house alert and active. The clan would like to reward Bloodfyre for his contributions with this Grand Cross of the Dark Side. Thank you, Bloodfyre.

For more than three and a half months, I have served as Tarentum's Consul; Sith Bloodfyre - Beef - has been my Proconsul for almost that entire time. Selecting him for that position is something I pat myself on the back for on a daily basis, because I simply could not serve effectively without his incredible counsel, wisdom, and competence working alongside me. It goes without saying he's done the minimum of what you'd expect in his position - three reports since becoming PCON, co-organizer on twenty-five competitions, welcoming new and returning members, etc. - but the reason he's so deserving of this award is because of all the additional, more nebulous duties of a Proconsul that he's done. He's been the de facto Tarentum cheerleader since coming back to activity at the beginning of the year, and he's done nothing but redouble his efforts on that front since becoming PCON; promotions, new joins, babies IRL... all get a shout-out from Beef on the Clan mailing list. He's also a constant voice of reason and wisdom for our newer and more inexperienced leaders (including myself), putting his fifteen years of experience in the Brotherhood to good use.

The help he's provided me is simply incalculable, but for the sake of perpetuity (and the reviewers) I'll provide a few examples. I quickly learned how incredible of a writer Beef is very early on, and while the nine Clusters of Ice (for almost 5000 words of fiction) since the end of August should provide ready evidence of that fact, the context makes them even more important. Almost (if not all) of them came from his efforts to craft the fiction for our Clan vendetta, Reanimated. He was able to take a couple of half-coherent bullet points as to where I saw the story in my head and turn it into high quality fiction - it felt like every bullet point I gave him turned into a thousand words of fantastic story. As we seek to reinvent Tarentum's fictional place in the world - to make it coherent, new, and exciting - it's ironic that I'd turn to such a long-time veteran to assist in its creation. However, if the past 5000 words of fiction are any indication of the next 5000, Beef is more than up to the task.

The most recent and best example of Beef's capabilities came in the form of our joint event with Clan Plagueis, Forged Alliances. The execution of this event happened to fall into one of the busiest periods of time I have in the "Real World," so Beef has truly been the voice of Tarentum in carrying out the event. He was tapped twice at the last minute during it to write its fictional updates and he successfully did so both times with his usual quality; for both, this consisted of me poking him on Telegram saying, "Hey, Beef, we need a fiction done for the thing" and not much else as far as plot, then followed a few hours later with an excellent piece of writing ready to go. One of the few consistent job requirements for a Proconsul is to be able to fill in for the Consul when needed, and Beef proved during Forged Alliances he was effortlessly able to do that and then some.

I'm lucky to have Beef serving as my right hand man, and I know that I couldn't hope to accomplish half what I want to during my tenure as Consul without his assistance. Hopefully this Grand Cross adequately conveys my gratitude for all he's done. Tarentum is a better place because of his leadership thus far, and I'm excited to see what we can accomplish together moving forward.
