Elevation Request: Obelisk Prelate OT Yzarc Rellik Kaeth (8734)

Induction into the second tier of the Equite-class in the Dark Brotherhood is no small feat. And that is why very few attain this honor, despite years of activity and milling around in the club. Instead, this rank is reserved for those whom serve their Clan and Brotherhood with integrity and ingenuity. Today, I hope to award Yzarc for his continued dedication and service to the Brotherhood with the rank of Obelisk Prelate.

Since his last elevation, Yzarc has competed in numerous competitions. And from those he has collected twelve crescents (2 Cr-A, 2 Cr-S, 4 Cr-E, 2 Cr-Q, 2 Cr-T), thirty eight (38) clusters of fire, a Scroll of Indoctrination, two Dark Crosses, an Anteian Cross, a Steel Cross and a Seal of Loyalty. In addition, he has earned his Dark Maven: Service from the Shadow Academy and completed two Antei Combat Center battles. In combination, he has also recruited and mentored Vorn to the rank of Protector and acted as the Master of House Exar Kun Aedile, Ralph Vundu. Ralph serves as an extraordinary leader and I believe it is in large part from the advice and experience he receives from his Master.

As a leader, Yzarc has served continually since his last elevation. He filled the post of House Caliburnus Aedile for two months, then as the Quaestor for another two months before accepting the role of Clan Plagueis Proconsul - a position he has occupied for nearly six months now. In that time, he has posted fourteen reports, ran six competitions, co-created nearly a dozen more and educated his members about Gaming Nights and the Inter-Club Training Event (ICTE). In addition, he provides relevant information to the Star Wars world beyond the Brotherhood's scope and has acted as the administrator of our Clan tracker (infinitely helping me with member progression/awards). Beyond his basic duties (mailer audits, IRC moderation, mentorship of members and leaders, member contact, etc), he has also assisted with the redrafting of Plagueis infrastructure. This involved rotating ineffective leaders out of the clan and replacing them with more able-bodied candidates, drafting new clan fiction, progressing the clan identity and driving participation.

Perhaps most impressive of all has been Plagueis' emergence and as a legitimate clan. When Yzarc came to our clan our participation rate was low... extremely low. During his tenure we have seen tremendous organic growth which peaked in the recent Thanksgiving Celebration where we had nearly one hundred submissions from 27 different members. You cannot credit any one, single individual for the success, but it surely would not have come if Yzarc was not playing the ever crucial support role of Proconsul. Without his goading me to award/promote people, we would not have the level of new member buy-in we currently possess. And without his patience, we certainly would have lost a few members to death-by-DA-CON... a disease that strikes like lightning!

Thank you for all the hard work, Zarc. Clan Plagueis and I appreciate all the effort you have put into mentorship, fictional development and playing the role of sounding board for a crazy, senile Consul.
