Through his tenure as the first Quaestor and founder of House Hoth, Seraphol (aka Daniel Stephens) has maintained a presence on the front lines while cultivating a close relationship with his members and summit. In doing so, he bore the challenge of building a full-fledged House from the ground-up, leaving behind a solid foundation for the next to take on the mantle. Having seen the amount of planning involved after the creation of House Odan-Urr to cement its position as the Brotherhood’s now most unique and fleshed-out Clan, I am well aware of the amount of labour that goes into such a task. Burnout is almost certain in these situations, most feel the need of a well-deserved rest or others might buckle under the pressure. For almost eight months, it seemed a miracle to see him thriving under the workload; to us, that’s just Seraphol.

His vision created what we now know as Fort Pernicar—the homestead of House Hoth, created with the aid of his members. Of 19 individual competitions he organized himself, a fair number of them were directed at building Fort Pernicar’s lore. His contributions to building Hoth’s fictional premise can be attested to through the 15 Clusters of Ice he has gathered—a number of which were for works which served to fill in a blank slate.

It is his abilities on the field that make him a good leader, but a better member. In 61 individual competitions, he has amassed 9 crescents. However, this is pennies when compared to the 1630 Clusters of Fire, 635 Clusters of Earth and 9 Pendants of Blood that earned him 9th place overall in the GMRG’s 4th Quarter. Moreover, he went on to assist others to reach greater heights as members all the while being a shining example himself. His mentorship of Juna to the rank of Jedi Knight earned him his most important award for this recommendation: a Scroll of the Master.

Congratulations and well deserved!
