When Revan began as a House, I did not think I needed, or wanted, a Rollmaster-level position. Sometimes we can have too many layers of bureacracy between those guiding the unit and those allowing us to guide them. But once Revan became part of Dark Fury, and once my usual partner in crime Sarin dared to give real-life the balance of his time for a spell, I knew I needed a hybrid position and a hybrid (read: multi-talented) individual to hold it.
It was not an easy choice. We had another dedicated and talented member inquire for the position, but we went with Callus and we are glad we did. And as such, Callus has become the first Voice of Revan much in the style of Darth Wyyrlok, he attends and administers various needs of the House from guiding new members to contributing ideas to leading by example in the recent Rite of Supremacy.
This gentlemen has immersed himself in the House, not only helping to found it, but to ensure it thrives on the new blood we are given via Dark Fury. He has maintained excellent contact with our new transfers, helped me immensely with promotions and awards, as well as maintained excellent records and logs of contact so we know who we have talked to, when we last spoke with them, and when we might need to reach out to them again.
Over the last year and eight months Callus has earned 14 Clusters of Fire, 6 Seals of Unity, 4 Dark Crosses, 4 Seals of Rememberance, 2 Crescents with Emerald Star, 2 Dark Side Scrolls, Crescent with Sapphire Star, Silver Nova, and an Anteian Cross.
In addition to his normal duties for Revan he has worked on several wiki articles for the House such as Sun-Manadyne and Captain Pantaro. In the recent Rite of Supremacy, Callus submitted to nearly every event including Round 1's Fiction and Poetry, Round 2's Graphics, and the Finals Fiction event. He also helped us win the ACC in Round 1 and placed 4th in Round 1's Poetry event as well as 5th in the Finals Fiction event.
We of Revan would very much like Callus to know he is an appreciated an integral part of what we try to do here. And were it not for Callus, and those like him, we would not have achieved what we already have nor what is yet to be.

It is amazing that a talented member like Callus has somehow avoided promotion since 2008. Multi-talented, mutli-skilled, and hungry to improve the unit he serves, Callus is one of Revan's most dedicated and hard working members to date. In October of 2009, I had to step away from the Dark Brotherhood for a few months and devote my time to real life. During this time period Callus stepped up and moved into the role of Rollmaster and defacto #2 man for Revan.
Stepping in with elan and grace, Callus established a system to welcome all new members and he began work on House Revan's wiki articles. Since that time he has served as a key leader in elevating Revan towards to the top of the DB and has helped secure victories in previous rounds. His work as both a leader and a contributing member is the stuff of a man well deserving of a promotion. Congrats!
