Troutrooper has been nothing less than a phenomenal Praetor. I am truly glad to have him assisting me in the various aspects of my job, and today I am pleased to award him with a Ruby Sceptre.<br> <br> Troutrooper was chosen in July to replace Pyralis as my Praetor. He had some awfully big shoes to fill, Pyralis was an active and influential member of my staff. Troutrooper has had no problem with that, however - he has been just as active and influential as his predecessor. TT regularly comments on projects, creates and reviews documents, assists with small and large tasks and serves as a source of information and advice. He is a very wise member and has greatly helped me in plotting a course for the Brotherhood. He is a hard worker and a good friend.<br> <br> Most impressive has been Troutrooper's work with the Alacrity project. His personal writing has doubled the amount of Alacrity available, and he has worked hard on editing and bringing the other documents into fruition. What I appreciate most is that Troutrooper volunteered of his own initiative to fully take over the management of the project. He now leads the staff, tracks their progress and follows up with them regularly. His work in this area will help the leaders of today leave a legacy of important documents for the leaders of tomorrow.<br> <br> Troutrooper also has his hands in a variety of other projects. From his detailed and useful edits of the 40-page Antei System document, to the revamp of the force powers to the creation of rank rituals, TT does it all. I appreciate everything he does and can only foresee his role getting larger.<br> <br> Thank you, Troutrooper, for all that you do.<br> - Grand Master Jac Cotelin<br> <br> ____________________________<br> <br> The Ruby Scepter is awarded to those individuals who have touched a wide range of others within the Dark Brotherhood as they will have contributed significantly in the areas of instruction, invention and mentorship. I can think of no other award that would fit the recent service of Pontifex Troutrooper. Troutrooper took over the responsibility of writing the Alacrity of the Commander Leadership Manuals and has exceeded expectations. Troutrooper has created a plan of action to complete the 40 or so slated Alacrity documents and he has thus far created quality and timely additions including "Email Best Practices", "Problem Members", and "Writing Unit Reports". Troutrooper's work has doubled the previous amount of Alacrity Documents and the quality of his work has passed the standard of the Dark Council with little or no editing. The dedication, time, and energy that Troutrooper has spent on the Alacrity documents will pay dividends in the Dark Brotherhood for years to come. Our leaders will rely on these documents as the standard of behavior, duty, and service while serving in positions of authority. There are very few members worthy of the RS and Troutrooper is one of them. Congratulations TT!<br> - Deputy Grand Master Sarin
