What can I say about Raimi that has not been said before. I could say he is great, but that has been proven. I could say he is wise, but that is quite the point. I could say he was loyal, but that wouldn't go far enough. Raimi is just a great leader and a strong and steadfast member of Clan Tarentum.
I met Raimi when he was Rollmaster of Cestus. We spoke at length in small chat conversations and I knew that he was a person of enormous worth. He spoke of all the things that he planned to do for Tarentum and even showed me some things. He has never backed down from any challenge and always strives to be the best he can be.
Raimi as Aedile of Reinthaler put all of his devotion and dedication to use. He built the house, working closely with Dox, Saitou and I to make an effective unit of Tarentum. Without him, I hardly think the House would have come into being. He was the most important piece, a piece I believe will stay important for a long time to come.
Congratulations Raimi, you have definitely earned this in my eyes.

Raimi served as the first Aedile of the newly formed House Reinthaler with me for one full month. During this time, we were able to start the formation of a House culture, open two stable Battle Teams, and share the duties of administration. Unfortunately, real life rears its ugly head at inopportune times. I will miss Raimi's presence on the summit team, but his place in Reinthaler's history and present is a welcome asset. He has my recommendation to join the equite ranks of the Brotherhood.

A skilled writer. An adept leader. A loyal friend. Only a few of the fragmented sentences I can use to describe Raimi and his work in Tarentum. Raimi made a surprise return to Tarentum happenings before the Rite of Supremacy, jumping straight into the "Broken: The Final Chapter" run-on and then earning two promotions for his work. A few months have passed since his promotion to Dark Jedi Knight, and his contributions are astounding, deeming him worthy of a promotion to Krath Priest.
Raimi helped us in our bounty of fictional offerings he Rite of Supremacy events, earning an Anteian Cross for his fiction and his ACC efforts. As Rollmaster, he outlined and helped direct a successful run-on for Cestus, which also involved several other members outside the house. As the first Aedile of House Reinthaler, he helped supervise and judge a series of members' fictional contributions in order to build the house's new base, battle teams, and history. In a club where leaders have to be organized as well as active, Raimi is a prime example to follow.
I believe that Raimi is a naturally born leader as well as an incredibly writer and friend. He and I have had many discussions on fiction, and his ideas for clan storylines as well as a house fictional "phase system" are something to be admired and paid attention to. While occasionally we will disagree on some fictional matters, he allows me a different perspective on things. I view him as a wonderful advisor, as well as a mentor in a certain way, even if I am higher than him in rank and leader position.
I am very sad to see Raimi leave the position of Aedile in House Cestus, but I see great things for him in his future education. I believe this Equite promotion is the best way to reward him for his work - he absolutely deserves it. Thank you, Raimi, for being such an incredible leader, and I hope to see you return as a summit member in the future.
