Update: Leader Da Best has now retired, stating he is too busy in his personal life.
KLONDIKE, CP Army Headquarters – The Mercenaries of Club Penguin recently announced that they have inaugurated a familiar face in the community, TS/Sauron, as a leader. What led to this promotion, and what can we expect from him?
In an announcement made on January 15, 2022, in the Mercenaries discord server, Bull Hour, one of the current leaders of the army, stated that TS/Sauron had joined the Mercenaries as a leader. It appears that the leadership team feels he will be a great asset to the army, as he has several years of experience in CPA, not only as a troop but also leading various armies.

TS/Sauron has been a long-standing member of the CPA community. He joined CPA by being enlisted into the Shadow Troops in 2014 as a new recruit.

What prompted you to accept the offer to lead the first generation of mercenaries?
It is a new army that had some familiar faces, and I thought I might be able to have fun leading this army.
What do you hope to accomplish as a leader?
Well I haven’t thought about accomplishing anything yet, but if do, it will make me happy.
You have quite a history with armies, what are some of the things you have learned from leading in the past that you wish to apply to leading this army?
Being truthful, staying calm , expect the unexpected and basically doing the best I could given the situation.
What has been your best moment in the past leading armies?
Destroying a S/M alliance that was aided by Water Vikings and Doritos of CP in an epic battle with my friends in Coup Crusaders a year or two ago.
There’s always excitement that comes with new armies. Leaders find satisfaction in helping new armies grow and achieve great things. It seems TS/Sauron has the experience to lead Mercenaries to great heights! Only time will tell, though, what he will help them to accomplish. We wish him and the Mercenaries, best of luck in all of their future endeavors.
