Primary reason

Seraphol Ceartas is a fine example of a hands-on leader and a shining gem within our House. During the third round of the Fading Light Vendetta, he was our main cheerleader, helping and encouraging the members of our House from the front lines of battle, where he participated in 4 of 5 events and earnt an impressive 366 Clusters of Fire for this major competition. His efforts, participation, leadership and encouragement over email and IRC were a tremendous asset to our House during this Vendetta.

Since his last award, he has earnt a Seal of Loyalty for his services, and a staggering total of 1559 Clusters of Fire (which includes the aforementioned 366), along with 4 Pendants of Blood, a Legion of the Scholar, a Cluster of Ice and a Ruby Crescent. He has also participated in nine general competitions.

As a leader, since taking over the Knights of Allusis in September he has been constantly communicating with his team and the rest of the Summit and has been developing Shorurra as his Sergeant. He has come up with a number of ideas and been an integral voice in the future direction of his team, motivating and engaging senior and junior members of the team to be active again, to become the tip of the spear in our campaigns to stop the Dark Side from taking over the galaxy.

He was also one of two judges for the House-wide event, Affliction, back in September, jumping in at the last minute when the competition organizer was called away to higher duties, judging ten events during the competition.

For all of this, I wish to nominate Seraphol for a Grand Cross, and I look forward to continuing to work with such an excellent member.

Additional reasons

Seraphol Ceartas is our soldier in the Light. An old stalwart, he has always been here when his House needed him, since his arrival in Odan-Urr. One of the few members who can truly embody a crusader for the Light Side in his stories, he goes a step further in reality by being a general to his troops and a guiding light for subordinate and superior alike. When I am stressed out, Seraphol is there to lend an ear; when a Leader has a problem, he has a solution. Above all, when an argument breaks out, he not only mediates it - but he does so by coming down on the side that is right, taking no bull, and yet somehow still putting out the fires through his blunt honesty.

He is a member that deserves reward, and not just for the reasons above.

During Fading Light, Seraphol has been a driving force for our members. He has taken command of Knights of Allusis, our Vendetta Team, and has been molding them into our primary strikers and headhunters in club-wide events. No one goes into Knights of Allusis alone, or without support; no one leaves without a killing edge, or a damned good reason. Members like Seraphol do more than sustain this House. Members like Seraphol step up in big events, fill holes in the roster, and sharpen the skills and resolve of all those around them.

Members like Seraphol are why I believe in a Light Path, in Jedi Orders, and in the legitimate possibility of a Light Side Clan. If we had a handful of extra Seraphols, we'd be First Clan already. The guy deserves a huge reward; for now, we reward his service and dedication in Fading Light 3, and beyond. There is a reason I chose him for a Seal of Loyalty; and that same reason, alongside the work he has done since, validates a Grand Cross. Let this recommendation speak to his character as a member of our Dark Jedi Brotherhood.

Well done, my friend. You deserve this, and much, much more.
