<br> | |||
<br> | <br> | ||
Dark Watch was formed in January 2007. Dark Watch's first Commander, NuAgeTechno, was a recruit that Jensonson had originally signed up from the streets. After sifting through a host of squad name options created by Fortress members, NuAgeTechno settled on the mysterious and bone-chilling name, <i>DARK WATCH</i>. | |||
<br> | <br> | ||
<br> | <br> | ||
Unfortunately, the first few months of Dark Watch were rocky. They lost commander after commander, and without the dedicated leadership they required, Dark Watch was dissolved in July 2007. Following this, Dark Watch members were reassigned to other units within The Fortress, and many in The Fortress assumed the team would never rise the glory envisioned by those first loyal members. | |||
<br> | <br> | ||
<br> | <br> | ||
Unexepectedly, less than six months later, Dark Watch rose again like a Phoenix. With the passion of its former members burning bright, and the substantial talent of several new recruits, Dark Watch was formed again under the command of FireWarlord. A talented young soldier by the name of Dedun was named as Lieutenant and helped Commander Warlord organize and get the team back on their feet. Regrettably, after a messy and unfortunate zombie accident in April of 2008, Dedun was forced to retire and a recently transferred member, Anne Tardew, was named as the next Lieutenant. Commander Warlord and Lieutenant Tardew led the team to their established greatness over the next eight months. Together with their outstanding team, they completed some fantastic feats, such as fighting back The Dead and a two month siege at Caiger Mall. | |||

In December 2008, Warlord stepped down after 325 days as commander. Soon after, Anne Tardew was named Commander of Dark Watch and Morrigana was named as her Lieutenant. The team has continued to thrive under their leadership. Anne Tardew ran the team for nine straight months before stepping down. | |||

<font color=#C0C0C0>In | <font color=#C0C0C0>Ziptrickhead then rose to take her place as commander and Kevin Tarot was promoted to the position of Lieutenant. In November 2010, LT Kevin Tarot left Dark Watch to become a Drill Sergeant in Boot Camp. Three weeks later, after 443 days of command, Commander Ziptrickhead announced his intention to step down and join the general ranks of Dark Watch. | ||
<br> | <br> | ||
<br> | <br> | ||
In December 2010, upon promotion to the rank of the commander of Dark Watch, Morrigana named Jim McCloud her Lieutenant and Sir Darin her Sergeant. She then proceeded to lead Dark Watch for a whopping 503 days and also attained the title of Dark Watch Bartender, serving out not just the jello shots which Dark Watch is famous for but also a boundless enthusiasm and love for all her Dark Watch members. | |||
<br> | <br> | ||
<br> | <br> | ||
Morrigana stepped down in April 2012 due to time constraints and her capable Lieutenant, Jim McCloud, who had performed superbly as acting commander in her periods of absence, stepped up as commander and began his reign of <span style="color:#778899">*Jim whispers to the storyteller*</span> ...terrrrrific management? | |||

*<i>"Dark Watch - The best Combat Team in all of the Fortress. I have learned so much. Especially the importance of knowing which suburb you're in, and to always to have an EP. The leadership in DW is exceptional, Commander Tardew is one of the best ever. It's also one of the most tight knit groups and is one of the most comic also. Our RT sessions are never dull. And as for whopage, we're the best. We're not the biggest CT, but we are the most efficient. Oh and we're the best at lighting Malton. Being the head engineer, I can take some credit, but most of it goes to the other DW engineers and our scouts telling us what NT's or PDs need power. All in all, I can't say I have seen a better CT."</i> <br><br>-- <b>Jacob VonNaasz</b> | *<i>"Dark Watch - The best Combat Team in all of the Fortress. I have learned so much.
