Consul is a difficult position to prepare for and much harder when it takes you as a surprise. When Spears stepped down and Tarentum needed a new Consul, however, Welshman gladly stepped up to the challenge. Although he had not experienced the full range of things that a Proconsul should before stepping up, Welshman was able to admirably make the switch from second in command to the man in charge. Using his resources in Tarentum wisely, Welshman made quick progress on many ongoing projects and add new innovations to the Clan. Together, with Telona, Welshman oversaw as Tarentum continued growing into an even better clan. He place the proper people into leadership positions, ensured that his members were taken care of, spoke well for them in Dark Council discussions and made the a lasting effort on his clan. Like the other Consuls of Tarentum before him, Welshman was able to balance the politics of the DB with one of the most outspoken clans in the DB, a job not easily done. Even with a resistance towards participation in a sub-par Great Jedi War, Welshman was able to will his clan along for a good showing.<br> <br> I am greatful for the time Welshman spent as Consul of Tarentum. I believe he has left the next Consul with an improved clan, and for his efforts deserves the coming praise. He is, by far, worthy of this award.<br> <br> - GM Jac Cotelin<br> <br> -----------------------------------------------------<br> <br> Welshman has been a fiercely loyal and committed leader of Tarentum. He has gone through an amazing tenure of serving the Clan as Proconsul to both Anshar and Spears, which were periods that were mainly to ensure that Welshman would be ready to take his rightful place as leader of this ancient Clan. His attitude has been commendable, and in his time as Consul, he has served to be both a stable influence, and has served the needs of both Houses, and of new members. He has been dedicated and consistent in his presence on IRC and through reports. He is a fountain of knowledge for the members of this Clan, and has always worked to further the bonds of friendship and family within this Clan. During this most recent Great Jedi War, even though their was a great lack of desire to participate in such a wretched competition, Welshman remained as a point of encouragement for the members, and worked to see Tarentum benefit as much as possible from the War. He never stopped his work and efforts of Tarentum during the entire reign of Consul, and Proconsul before it. He worked to expand projects that began back when I was first Consul, as well as add to the Clan through innovative projects and creations of his own. Welshman is one of those members who has struggled through many trials, but has always maintained the proper attitude, and has been an example to everyone of what a leader should be. He is a member of Tarentum whose name will never be forgotten, and someone that everyone in Tarentum considers a friend.<br> <br> Welshman, thank you very much for your service as Consul, and your continued presence within our Clan.<br> <br> -DJM Sith Bloodfyre-Tarentae
