Archangel is a name recognized by all in Scholae Palatinae, and by a large portion of the entire club. Sitting on top of a long history of activity, leadership, and general presence in the club has made him one of the established reliable members we can point new members to. Arch never steps back from the fight, and I know I can rely on him to make the biggest and loudest showing on behalf of the clan.

Even when ignoring his long history as a leader in Scholae Palatinae (of which he helped us through our long period of houseness both as AED and RM), outside of having an official position shown on his dossier, he has shown to be one of the supporting leaders for the clan. He helps manage our military. He offers insight on issues and ideas that come up from us in the summit. He pushes and prods other members to be active, and demonstrates his own high level of activity as an example.

In terms of numbers, just since his promotion to EQ3, Arch has participated in some 102 competitions, ranging from small clan member created ones, to big clan events (and winning them too, just see Monstrosity for example), to DJB wide ones including vendettas and GJWs. This competition activity has earned him 2 Diamond Stars, 1 Ruby Star, 11 Amethyst Stars, 13 Sapphire Stars, 4 Emerald Stars, and 3 Topaz Stars. He has also taken in 2 Gold Nova, 3 Silver Nova, and 3 Bronze Nova. His efforts beyond just competitions has also earned him an Amethyst Kukri, A Sapphire Blade, 2 Grand Crosses, 3 Anteian Crosses, and 1 Dark Cross.

Top level Equites are expected to be more than just active superstars of their clan. They are also expected to have spent time leading to better their unit, and the entire club. Over the course of his career here, Arch has certainly had a big impact on Scholae Palatinae as a leader, but also to the rest of the club. A long stint as the P:FIST left him one a well versed font of gaming knowledge. Since his promotion to EQ3 in August 2013, he has managed to grade nearly 600 SA exams.

To put it simply, Arch continues to put up the good fight, when many would have already tapered off. I am certainly glad to have him in my corner. Congratulations Arch, well deserved. Drinks are on you!

Archangel is an outstanding member that is looked up to not just in the House of Excidium but the Brotherhood community at large. He as previously held the position of Magistrate to the Herald as well as P:Fist. He didn’t stop there as he was also an combat center judge for a period of time and is now currently a professor in the Shadow academy. He has extended his reach of providing his assistance where he can beyond the scope of the house or Clan level. He is the highest ranked member within Excidium while still remaining one of the most active members we have in the this house. That is something rarely seen in this club as higher rank is achieved and Archangel’s dedication must not be mistaken for such activity that he brings forth.

He has been around far longer than I have even joined this great Brotherhood and he remains to put his name on the boards abroad. Archangel has participated in the Final spark campaign, participating in every event that it had to offer. His efforts with the house even gave him placement in the campaign that will go down in history for the house as part of the first ever campaign for Excidium. He has earned 32 crescents with two of them being diamond crescents just to demonstrate the value puts out for whatever he does. He has also earned a Amethyst Kukri, A Sapphire Blade, 2 Grand Crosses, 3 Anteian Crosses, and 1 Dark Cross. All of these are outstanding achievements granted to very select few of members in the Brotherhood. He is a role model for many in the house and am certain he is seen as an extraordinary member in the clan and the entire brotherhood membership. Archangel is an outstanding aspect of the Excidium roster and am very fortunate to have such a fantastic member to this House that is so much respected around here. Well done Archangel! Drinks on you!

Archangel, one of the childen of Palpatine. His legacy in this Clan is deep. Regardless of what direction the Clan has gone, he has always stuck close. If there were a poll listed in in the DJB of loyal Clan members with regards to time, his name would be up towards the top of that list. Xen has named his raw numbers, but I want to hit on one thing that I know holds merit. That is consistency. He has always maintained it throughout the years. That is a quality we need in the DJB and something we need from our veteran leaders who will guide the new generation. Congrats Arch, you deserve it!

Archangel is a strong competitor, a natural leader and a powerhouse in terms of opinions and quality of work. It’s his influence on the Clan for being the reliable member that perked our ears up as we asked ourselves ‘how can we award Arch?’ I can certainly vouch for his hard work and effort, as I battled against Arch’s top quality fiction in the Inquisitorius Competition, Deep Pockets where his submission beat some of the strongest writers we know.

Considering that Archangel is the current Professor for the Department I am under, he has always been a supportive and down to earth superior. If I couldn’t make it to grade an exam, he would understand and take the role for me. With Arch’s knowledge, it wouldn’t be an easy task to serve in the SA. His expertise in leadership and his comical personality in the Telegram channel are something I look forward to on a dull work day. So i’d like to thank Arch for being here for the Clan, as I wholeheartedly believe he is more than ready for the jump to the final Equite.

Congratulations Arch! Drinks are on you!

As Professor of the Department of Flight Studies, Arch is the second-longest-serving professor currently active in the Shadow Academy. Since his last promotion, he has graded over 600 exams and worked to keep his courses updated as needed. He has always been incredibly reliable, maintaining an excellent average grading time of approximately 9 hours. Very few people in this club can maintain such high levels of performance for as long Arch has. He is a stalwart member of my staff, and a superb example for the entire Dark Jedi Brotherhood. Arch and I go way back, and I am honored and very happy to recommend this fully-deserved promotion to EQ 4. Congratulations!

I have known Archangel through my entire career within the Dark Brotherhood. He has been a name that is constantly in IRC, Email chains, and other various methods of communication. Arch is thoroughly a pillar of our great Clan, and I honestly cannot see CSP without him. He is constantly willing to help in so many aspects within our club, motivating new and old members alike to be active with friendly competition, and always a great presence within our channels.

My colleagues have gone over so many different aspects of their own, so I’ll try not to repeat what has already been said, but I would like to say that I really do not think CSP would be what it is without him. His many years of leadership, his constant activity within competitions as shown by his many levels of crescents, his sacramental awards. Absolutely everything that Arch does is for the Clan/Club through multiple years of services in different positions, and constant activity. I believe that Arch deserves this amazing promotion to EQ 4, and I am excited to have seen him make this process! Congratulations Arch, drinks are on you!

Archangel is one of the pillars of Scholae Palatinae, there's no doubt in that. His leadership skills even when he's not in a leadership position and his outstanding contributions to competitions both as a competitor or as an organizer makes him a vital part of our clan.

He's also someone that never stays still. He works on the lore, on the wiki, on supporting new members, in every aspect a productive member of the Brotherhood can help. And what is more important, he never stops, keeping all his activity steady no matter how many years have passed since he joined the Brotherhood.

His admirable contributions are an example to follow, and if someone deserves a promotion, that's him. I'm extremely proud of sharing the same clan and house with such an extraordinary person.

Congratulations Archangel, you really deserve it!

Years ago, Archangel and I began our working together in the Hammer's Fist, and that was the start of a now 14 year online friendship. He is the reason that I returned to the Dark Jedi Brotherhood, and he is one of the reasons that I have continued to stay a member of this group over the years.

Our work together in shaping the clan's military forces has been one of my favorite things over the past 8.5 years. We hit the ground running under Braecen, and we have never looked back as he helped lead the ever changing group of members over the years. Arch is the leading force behind our clan's top team of battle planners with his use of graphics and knowledge of the clan's military forces.

Palpatine. Earning the right to use the title in our club shows that he has been a driving force in Scholae Palatinae over the years. It shows that his loyalty to the Royal Clan is beyond that of 99% of those who have come and gone over the years. Activity, leadership, and knowledge. That sums up my friend and fellow leader.

Congratulations!

Signed,

Kell Palpatine Dante Quaestor, House Imperium Don of the Palpatine Family

Arch spent over a year working with me on the Fist Staff as Praetor during his time as an Equite 3. During that time period he assisted with the vast majority of projects that were rolled out to the gamers of the club. During the update to the Rites of Combat, repeated review of Cluster of Fire Tables, and the reconstruction of the GMRG Arch provided valuable input and advice which made each of these projects more successful. His attitude of service to the members of our Club is clear, and is one that all of us should emulate.

Congratulations on your step into the final tier of the Equite Ranks Arch!
