Protector is the fifth rank in the Dark Brotherhood, which is awarded after completing the requirements of a Acolyte. It is at this point within the Journeymen class that one may wield a basic lightsaber given to them by their superiors.
It is part of the Journeyman class, the fifth step down the path to Dark Jedi Knight.
The Requirements to be promoted past this rank are much more difficult, and are as follows:
Protector to Guardian
- Four weeks at Protector required or complete a Master At Arms assigned task
- Logon to IRC and visit your Clan channel, or logon to the DJB Voice Server
- Complete your Order Core exam - this can count towards your total Shadow Academy requirements for other promotion tasks
Complete five of the following:
- Ten Shadow Academy exams in addition to any completed that were used to qualify for a promotion to Protector
- Ten regular Flashpoints, of which at least 4 must be unique.
- Participate in five total competitions
- complete five ToR HM Flashpoints, Operations or PVP events with a DJB group.
- Earn fifteen (total) Clusters of Fire

- Complete the GMRG Exam
- Qualify for the Antei Combat Center
- Reach GMRG Rank 2
- Minimum two page character fiction to be approved by your House leadership or Master
