Xantros was a fantastic asset to the Shadow Academy during his service as Magistrate to the Headmaster for seven months – one month beyond his initial term commitment to help us transition between HMs. During that time, the professor of our Combat Department had to resign, so Xantros took on the role and volunteered to continue grading until we had a new professor hired, trained and comfortable in the job. Between his work as Magistrate and Professor, he graded 72 courses in a timely, thoughtful manner, providing good feedback and taking extra steps to bring errors or course improvements to my attention.
In all of my work with him during my time as Praetor, I found he was always quick to volunteer for projects and to assist his fellow Magistrate when necessary. He audited three courses to help us finish our audit, including suggesting and writing additional material for our Force Philosophy II course. He also took on the complete rewrite of our Grey Jedi Order Core to bring it in line with the club's shift to Force Disciples and authored the Shadow Academy Society course, which doubles as the society's wiki page! Beyond course work, Xantros was highly instrumental in the organization of the Shadow Academy's Shadow Feast competition – creating the fiction and rap battle competitions, as well as contributing to and co-grading all six competitions.
Finally, I'd simply like to recognize Xantros for his consistency and dedication. From course additions to catching errors, it was obvious he took time to look for ways he could contribute beyond what was asked of him. He was also a huge help to me as a sounding board in the ideas he would offer as well as his willingness to challenge mine!
In combination with his general activity and service to his House and Clan, which I will let them speak to, I believe he is deserving of this award and hope it will serve as a small token of my appreciation. :)

For a long time, Xantros has dedicated himself to contributing to the DJB whether it be through participation and assistance with clan-related work or in the SA. Since his last recognition, he's participated in 65 competitions, passed 72 SA courses, received 154 clusters of fire, 15 clusters of ice, 9 clusters of graphite, and 8 scrolls of foundation. He also participated in a couple of GJW competitions.
Xantros has approached me a few times asking in what ways he can help the clan, and always tells me he is available to help in any way possible. He's still very active in the TG clan chat, always encouraging and supporting others. His drive to help others and the clan in general to excel is duly noted, and I cannot say enough how valued and appreciated he is to us. He is more than deserving of this award, and I continue to watch over his progress with admiration. Congratulations, Xantros! Keep shooting for the stars (if you haven't surpassed them already haha).

Xantros is a member constantly willing to give aid and advice to leaders. Just recently he sent Shadow and myself a report of his thoughts on why the Clan wasn’t doing so well. It came with analysis, problems, but most importantly it provided solutions. Any member who isn’t a leader and is willing to put time into their unit through concise analysis is deserving of reward. This is in addition to the activity that he has provided to our Clan and the example of what we hope all members could be in the Imperial Clan!
Congrats, Xantros!
