Talos Erinos — or Zach — is something of a legend to me, spoken of in high regard as I grew in the Brotherhood. Now, as Consul, it’s my honor to see his recent return, to see him as active and inspirational today as he ever was in the past, as though he never left. He’s shown the energy and drive of some of our brightest, newest member along with the wisdom of a veteran, and has been more than willing to come and learn the new ways the Brotherhood as changed all while continuing to be a productive member. The rest of his chain of command will further detail his specific accomplishments in his Battleteam and House, but I would like to praise him now on behalf of his Clan. Talos has many years, prosperous ones, as one of our members under his belt, and little else than a Grand Cross seems deserving of that time and dedication.

Congratulations, Talos, and my thanks on living up to your legend.

Since his return to Arcona, Talos has been a powerhouse of activity and an exemplary member of Battle Team Soulfire. Returning to a changed Brotherhood and a changed team can be difficult for some. Not Zach, the tenacity with which he wanted to know everything that changed and his ability to adjust to a new environment is truly inspiring.

Starting development on his character to better fit in with the Brotherhood as a whole, and the revamped Battle Team wasn’t enough for him. Participating in a myriad of competitions didn’t quench his thirst for activity. Helping develop Soulfire in combination with all of the above activity seemed to barely satisfy his hunger to be involved again.

It’s Zach’s drive and the way he seems to affect people around him that truly sets him apart. His return has sparked some of our older members back into a more visible form of activity and it’s difficult to properly quantify his effect on the Clan. It is with complete conviction I believe he deserves this Grand Cross and I’m sure it’s the start of truly prosperous time for both his career in the Brotherhood and the people around him.

Talos Erinos has accomplished much since his last recognition, showing continued activity and participation in numerous events. He has, once again, shown himself to be a consistent and productive member of Arcona and the Brotherhood. He has proven to be a pillar of responsibility and his continual growth within the club has more than earned him a Grand Cross of the Dark Side.

Talos Erinos has accomplished much in the time since he has been back in action and is well deserving of a Grand Cross. Since his last recognition, Talos participated in 51 competitions, organized 12 competitions and has written 2080 words of fiction. He participated in 6 of 8 of the Sithmas competitions, earning himself 4 Clusters Ice of, 9 Clusters of Earth, a Crescent with Emerald Star, Crescent with Quartz Star and completed 4 Shadow Academy Exams.

In the last couple months alone, Talos has proven to be responsible and beyond capable of achieving greatness within the Dark Brotherhood. As such, he has signified that he can go above and beyond the call of duty and maintain a productive level of activity. I look forward to seeing what the future holds for you.
