A Biography on the Founder of the Darkside Collective Ministry International
Born Braedon Scott Robb on January 12, 1979 (in the City of Whitehorse, Yukon, Canada). Braedon Scott Robb stopped using his first name in 1999, replacing it with his middle name, Scott.
His mother (raised Buddhist), of Japanese decent, was an elementary school teacher and his father (raised Catholic), of Irish, Scottish, English descents with traces of German and American descents, worked for the Government of Canada. Although both of Scott's parents occasionally take part in religious ceremonies, both are atheists and raised Scott and his brothers as atheists.

Scott briefly lived in Yellowknife, which is on the north shore of Great Slave Lake in the Northwest Territories, before moving to Kingston, Ontario where he lived from 1987 to 1998. On August 15, 1998 he moved to Edmonton, Alberta to pursue a post secondary education and possibly start a career. Scott still resides in Edmonton to this day.
Scott and his wife started dating March 22, 2003 and Scott proposed on July 28, 2007. The two where married on January 17, 2009 which turned out to be a beautiful, mild, winter day. The couple were married in a private ceremony (which Scott wrote himself) with 70 members of their families, and their closest family-friends. Scott and his wife's baby boy, named Sheldon Takahiro Robb, was born at 2132 hrs (9:32 PM) MST on January 28, 2010 (a week over due), weighing 6 pounds 11 ounces and was 21.3 inches long.
Scott had an uneventful and average childhood and breezed his way through the Public School system of Ontario, but tended to thrive from a young age in the subjects of Psychology, Law, Theology, Philosophy, and some Sciences. In 1996, he took an interest in literature on Satanism and started practicing and studying "the black arts" that same year. Later, in 1997, he decided to go public with his religious beliefs to mixed responses from everyone around him, most of them having the same absurd misconceptions that most people have about Satanism. That same year he joined Anton LaVey's Church of Satan, based in San Francisco, California, USA.
In the early spring of 2005 Scott, curious how he would look with out any hair, after realization that heredity was starting to kick in, decided to shave his head for the first time. Although the shaved head is a common feature for Scott's appearance, he has decided he would continue to let his thinning hair grow out during the frigid Canadian winters for the near future. The founder wanted it made perfectly clear that he did not shave his head during any absurd fictional ritual, nor to look more like the greatest fraud of the Satanic Community, Anton LaVey.
Scott is an avid animal lover who has a great affinity for all animals which prompted him to join the World Society for the Protection of Animals (WSPA) which has since been ratified as one of the charities specifically chosen for support by the Darkside Collective International Ministry. Scott specifically loves dogs and has had a dog of his own since he was a young child, dog number three died in late-April 2008 in the Calgary home of his parents, where she had been since 2005 when Scott was living in an apartment building that did not allow dogs. On February 20, 2007 Scott and his, then fiancé adopted a one-hundred pound male golden retriever puppy (born November 4, 2006), that they named "KUMA" (Japanese for "BEAR") whom both Scott and his wife love to play with and take for walks when both Scott and his wife are not busy with work and work related activities.
Scott attended college to complete his academic studies of Psychology (1999/2000) and took some professional web design & development (2000/2001) courses. In 2002 to 2004, he unloaded trucks in a local giant American retail chain as the assistant manager of the backroom-staff. In the fall of 2004 Scott enrolled in a Professional Security Academy in which he graduated second in a class of over 100 students. Scott immediately started with the best and most professional contract Security Company in Western Canada (Paladin Security Group Ltd.) on October 1, 2004 and went on to receive awards and commendations within the first year.
After a year-and-a-half Scott was promoted five times and was voted "one of the top five officers in the company", Scott was promoted a sixth time on September 1, 2006 to the position of "Shift Supervisor" on Paladin's flag-ship site but, after the contract on that particular site started to run down, he received a requested transfer on January 10, 2007. From January to September 2007 Scott was transferred to a total of five different "problem sites" that the company wanted to be cleaned up, and clean them up he did. The owners of most of these sites did not want him to leave, but when he was transferred to clean up another site, at least one of the clients terminated their contract because the other officers assigned to the site were insufficient.
In late August, and all through September, 2007 Scott received multiple job offers within the security industry from contract firms like GARDA Security and a few in-house Security Offices and also aspirations of continuing into Law Enforcement. On August 31, 2007 Scott started working part-time with the security department of Century Casino & Hotel Edmonton. On October 17, 2007 Scott received a further offer for a full-time position at Century Casino with amazing benefits, Paladin made some counter offers, but none matched what Century Casino & Hotel Edmonton offered. Scott accepted Century Casinos offer and resigned his position with Paladin on October 31, 2007. However, Scott still has aspirations of getting into Law Enforcement. On August 5, 2008 Scott was promoted to the position of part-time supervisor at Century Casino.
On September 29th, 2009 Scott resigned his position at Century Casino after Security Management at the Casino stripped all security officers of their ability to protect themselves in situations resulting in lawful arrests. On October 3, 2009 Scott started working for Beretta Protective Services International Inc.
In November of 2007, Scott decided to sign-up to be a card carrying member of both the Alberta Liberal Party and the Liberal Party of Canada and by early December the same year had received his membership packages.
In 2000, during Scott's studies of "the Black Arts" he made several discoveries that proved Anton LaVey was a fraud, all the evidence confirmed by reputable individuals including Anton LaVey's own daughters (Karla and Zeena), both of LaVey's ex-wives, Former Church of Satan executive and founder of the Temple of Set Michael Aquino, Burton Wolfe (known for writing the original introduction for LaVey's Satanic Bible), the San Francisco Police Department, the San Francisco Orchestra, and many others.
Scott decided to investigate the evidence against Anton LaVey as deeply as possible. His investigation turned up a few FBI files on LaVey, released by the U.S. Department of Justice under stipulations of the Freedom of Information and Protection of Privacy Act (FOIP), file number SF89-289 reported on allegations against LaVey in relation to a death threat against a U.S. Congressman, SF 31D-10807 reported on allegations of LaVey forcing young women into pornography and prostitution, and SF 9A-3580 reported allegations of a death threat against LaVey. All of these files painted a very different picture of LaVey then that which the Church of Satan lackies Peter Gilmore, Blanche Barton, and Peggy Nadrimira portray to the public. In one of these files on Anton LaVey, the following paragraph was included in the report following an FBI/Secret Service joint interview with Anton LaVey on October 31, 1980:
...LAVEY STATED THAT HE IS WELL AWARE THAT MOST PEOPLE ASSOCIATED WITH THE CHURCH OF SATAN ARE IN FACT "FANATICS, CULTISTS, AND WEIRDOS." HE STATED HIS INTEREST IN THE CHURCH OF SATAN IS STRICTLY FROM A MONETARY POINT OF VIEW AND SPENDS HIS TIME FURNISHING INTERVIEWS, WRITING MATERIAL, AND LATELY HAS BECOME INTERESTED IN PHOTOGRAPHY.
-FBI file number SF 89-289
The fact the paragraph says "lately has become interested in photography" also disproves LaVey's earlier claim that he worked as a Police photographer prior to the 1960s (the SFPD also reported that they have no records of LaVey ever taking crime scene photos on their behalf). It should also be noted that Anton LaVey declared bankruptcy despite all the money that was claimed to have been coming into the Church of Satan. These facts alone are enough to discredit all known claims of Anton LaVey and the Church of Satan.
This and other evidence against the credibility of Anton LaVey and the Church of Satan, as well as a disagreement over the practice of Satanism (in part that levels, or degrees, of Satanism should not be sold to anyone willing to pay for it), resulted in Scott resigning his Church of Satan membership in late January 2000 and his subsequent efforts of exposing the Church of Satan as "frauds which are detrimental to the Satanic Community" had begun. It was this same point in time that Purist Satanism, a hybrid of so-called "LaVeyan Satanism" and "Crowleyan" Satanism combined with Satanic Philosophies recently discovered going back as far as the Neolithic Era.
It is also interesting to note, that the Church of Satan is an illegal entity under Canadian law according to section 365(a) of the Criminal Code of Canada as it is illegal to procure financial gain by pretending to practice witchcraft, quoted below:
Section 365. Every one who fraudulently . . .
(a) pretends to exercise or to use any kind of witchcraft, sorcery, enchantment or conjuration . . .
is guilty of an offence punishable on summary conviction
Based on all the surfaced information on Anton LaVey, and the known information about the Church of Satan, they're very existence is to rob unsuspecting people by pretending to be Satanists. Whereas, the Darkside Collective does not ask for money and 90% of any money raised through the sale of goods or services exclusive to the the Darkside Collective Ministry (such as the items sold in the online store and the services rendered by our vary own web design company) is donated to children and animal protection charities. This makes the Darkside Collective Ministry legal within Canada.
Reverend Robb is currently filing papers, on behalf of the Darkside Collective Ministry, to register with Revenue Canada as a Religious Charity as well as with the Province of Alberta as a Religious Society. In accordance with the Canadian Human Rights Act, such registration would be relatively easy. However, with the misconceptions and outright lies circulating against Satanism the various government agencies are dragging their feet. But, thanks to Rev. Robb the Darkside Collective Ministry has, with the exception of Buddhism, already made it further then most other religions without a spiritual Deity within Canada.
Scott has a series of tattoos:
a "Baphomet" (universal symbol of Satanism: goat's head within an inverted-pentagram) on his upper-left arm, done in the fall of 2004.
"666" on his right-wrist (in an orientation that was designed by Occultist Aleister Crowley), done on June 6, 2006 (6/6/06).
* the "Microcosmic Man" on his upper-right arm, Leonardo Da Vinci's "virtuvian man inside a regular-pentagram" (the microcosmic man was used by alchemists for centuries to represent "God"), and
*a modified symbol of the "Order of the Trapezoid" on his left-wrist
Scott does not yet have the tattoos marked with the *, but is planning to get them done in the very near future, pictures of the last two tattoos will be added when available.
Scott is currently designing other tattoos that he plans to one day get. When he gets into Law Enforcement, he also plans to get the Law Enforcement Agencies logo tattooed over his heart, the only one he plans to have done in colour.
