Blakey has been kind and measured in all interactions I've had with him and seen him have with other people. He's great at helping out new players, has a good set of morals, and is always the voice of reason when people act up in and out of game.
He's also a great surfer, his 7h time on surf_unraveled is one of the wonders of the world.
I've got a lot of playtime on skillsurf and since I'm UK based I've seen blakey on a lot. I can vouch for the fact that he's a genuinely nice guy - never seen him have a negative interaction with anyone or cause any problems. I've seen him openly ask people to stop saying things when they're being openly racist/abusive, and I can also confirm that I've seen him helping out new players. This is a man whose only flaw might be how much he loves to eat curry. I think he'd make a great addition to your team and hopefully could bring in some much needed mod presence in the European peak times.
