EARLY BEGINNINGS
Ninja Leader was recruited into Mercenaries in February of 2022 by his friend. While he was on the server, they announced staff applications, and he applied. He became a staff member and worked until he reached Fourth-in-Command. After that, he was inspired by the army and decided to create his own, called Space Force. It didn’t end well, so Bull Hour offered him a chance to join Ice Warriors as a troop. He worked his way up to Head General, one rank below HCOM, but he didn’t expect Ice Warriors to be what they were, so Dark Prince, his friend, messaged him asking for help creating an army called The Great Knights. They maxed 11 on their opening event, and after that, Special Weapons and Tactics leaders offered them a chance to merge. Dark Prince accepted the offer, and they joined as Third-in-Command.
After their merge, Ninja joined Lime Green Army as Fourth-in-Command but didn’t stay for too long because of the disrespect from LGA’s leaders. After LGA, Templars posted an AUSIA staff application that caught his attention, and he applied. He got accepted and made it to Fifth-in-Command in TCP. After some time, he thought of creating another army. So he established the Baseball Team of Club Penguin. Tide helped Ninja create the army, and thence, they merged into Penguins of Madagascar, where he received Leader-in-Training. After some time, he didn’t like it, so he went to Dark Vikings, where he got staff and left afterwards. Later, he accepted the offer to revive Tormentors with Toxic Storm and a CPA Veteran named Ay12. He got Leader-in-Training, and thence he was inducted as leader. One day, Toxic Storm implemented his decision to shut down the army and revived Coup Crusaders.

CONTINUING HIS JOURNEY
He made the decision to shut down the Crusaders, and after that he joined the Army of Club Penguin. Within ACP, he learned new things and made new friends. He also took part in tournaments, such as New Year Bonanza and Trick Or Treat Trials, and later he retired. Soon, he created another army named Dark Pirates, and it was the best army he created throughout his career. Tide helped him create it and faced the BloodBath Barrage war with the Sapphire Concordat against Dark Vikings. DP also took part in Legends Cup XIII, fighting and losing to Templars in Round One. DP also merged with SWAT, where he was shortly given Second-in-Command.

After SWAT, he decided to go on a break, but he came back planning to revive DP again. With CPA’s new map, DP achieved their first land and capital: the Migrator. It was a noteworthy achievement they gained during their second generation. They also were part of the first Around The World Cup, where they went against Water Vikings in the AUSIA division and Elite Guardians of Club Penguin in EU.

Over time, Winged Hussars declared war on DP, which ended in a treaty since WH won. Ninja, after some time, chose to shut down the army once again and combine with Secret Services. He joined as Third-in-Command during his time in SS and participated in Tropical Rumble in 2024 and brought the trophy home. He attended the SS’s 4th anniversary, but then they merged with Doritos, which he didn’t want to join, so he received the Veteran role.

RECENT EVENTS
After the SS merge, He saw Midnight was going to revive Mercenaries, so he joined as Leader-in-Training to help the third generation. He helped the army, and he was inducted as commander. Midnight soon had the intention of merging into DW, marking Mercenaries’ end, where he received a veteran role for his contributions.

Ninja decided to join DW as a Leader-in-Training, succumbing to the army’s opening event. He took part in tournaments such as October Horrors and Summer Blitz, where they lifted the trophy. He served the army for months until he took a break due to studies. He made his way back to the army on April 28, 2026, joining back as a Third-in-Command. In July, he got promoted to Second-in-Command for serving in DW’s second revival anniversary. He earned the Medal of Frosty and Medal of Dark Constance for his services and also participated in Around The World III and Legends Cup XVI.

Club Penguin Armies contacted Ninja Leader to learn more about him.
What encouraged you to become a part of Dark Warriors?
Last year, I was in the Dark Warriors because of the merger with Mercenaries. I earned the role of Leader in Training; however, I had to depart in order to concentrate on my academic pursuits. I committed to the leadership team that I would return, and to honor that promise is why I have rejoined the army.
What are the most crucial and challenging tasks for an HCOM, in your opinion?
In my opinion, helping the new staff members with their queries, working hard to make the army achieve good maxes on their events, and consistently demonstrating the requisite effort to qualify for promotion is the most crucial and challenging task for an HCOM.
Could you describe your most memorable experience in Dark Warriors?
My most memorable experience was winning October Horrors and Summer Blitz as a leader-in-training with my best friend, Midnight.
Do you have any specific objectives in mind for Dark Warriors?
My main objective for now is to advance to the Leadership role by demonstrating hard work and proving myself worthy of that position.
What guidance would you provide to future HCOM members?
Keep working hard; nothing is impossible.
As we can see, Ninja’s journey was quite interesting, with a lot of merges and lots of revivals. What do you think of his journey? Could he have done something better throughout his career? What would you do if you were in his position?
