Black Hawk Brigade, or BHB, was a top-tier super-clan, ranked the #7 sword clan of the decade in 2020. At its peak, it had over 28,000 members with 25+ attending every event.
BHB was created in early 2013 by Channy97 after the the rebellion and subsequent fall of The Raven Empire. The corrupt leadership of TRE caused the high rank rebellion and Channy97 was forced into action; thus creating BHB.
Right from the start, the great leaders from TRE joined and lead it into many great days. As more loyal members joined, BHB entered a legendary period where they experienced an explosive growth in members and activity from the entire community was at an all time high. This is now commonly referred to as "The Golden Age." *Notable high ranks from this era include: Crushedinsanity, Unicornrainbowzlol, Defeatedinsanity, Tentacools, Tormentium, Madlyzee, etc.
Towards the end of 2013, Channy97, who had come to the end of his days on Roblox, passed down leadership to DefeatedInsanity, who led BHB through the Dark Ages. This period lasted from the end of 2013 to mid 2014. *Notable high ranks of this era include: Ertyhgfd6, JRR898, Coolshadowghost, FadedDream, Chillybando2, etc.
Not long after, DefeatedInsanity quit roblox and passed BHB onto Ertyhgfd6 (now ERTYYYwashere). Erty soon after got into trouble with hacking so he gave BHB to Crushedinsanity with the promise to take BHB back. As the days turned into weeks following the incident, Erty never returned, and BHB fell under the leadership of CrushedInsanity. During this time period, BHB shifted into one the first power clans. With a need for more experienced high ranks to lead the others, led to the division of high command from high ranks. This group of high command, referred to as The Council, acted together as second in command of BHB, engaging in everything from war and peace talks with other clans, to quality control of high ranks through surveys and examinations, to organizing clan wide game nights. This would later known as the second greatest era in BHB history, lasting from 2014 to mid 2015. *Notable high command from this era include: Coolshadowghost, FallenEon, Madlyzee, Baronshadow, Centerspell, RecommendedUsername, etc. *Notable high ranks from this era include: Ethansell1. WannabeGuest, 3914Dragon, UltChowsk, etc.
With Crushedinsanity becoming more and more inactive with time, the council started to fall apart without direction or governance from authority. BHB was later sold and laid dormant for a about a year (mid 2015 - mid 2016).
Around June of 2016, Obscenia and Transcendium, bought BHB and became its new co-leaders. With them, they brought forth talent from a previous clan of theirs and began a new era in BHB history - The Dawn. As word quickly spread of BHB's revival, many veteran members came back in support of the new leadership, and some even took advisory positions amongst the high command. The council was soon after recreated and rechristened as The Councilium. Together, with the combination of new and old comrades, BHB rose back up to being one of the best sword clans (mid 2016 -2018). *Notable high command from this era include: Kryina, Baronshadow, Owenisawesome12, MigratingLlama, Overfills, Descendus, etc. *Notable high ranks from this era include: 1shot56kills, IWasReloading, Sekrove, MrGunnell, VoranimioArvoux, etc.
As time went on, Obscenia became less and less active, so Transcendium stepped up and became the sole leader of BHB. With continued support from the Councilium and other high ranks, BHB maintained its spot among the top sword clans. As time passed, Transcendium, too, began to grow increasingly inactive. After some private talks with a few members of the Councilium, he entrusted Overfills and VoranimioArvoux with the leadership of the clan. During this time, many powerful clans died out from increased inactivity within the community. Throughout all this, BHB was often on and off hiatus until the clan was officially memorialized in 2020.
Thank you to all the people who helped make this community what it was. Viva la Brigade!
