Mirado Pepoi L’eonheart is a long-time member of Clan Naga Sadow who continues to seek ways to help out his Clan and the Dark Brotherhood as a whole. He has held more than one important position in each unit. He has been highly active across the board. Mirado has also helped out various members.

As Quaestor of House Shar Dakhan, Mirado built the House from scratch. After the reclanning of Naga Sadow, the decision was made to form the new House, and the task was given to Mirado as it’s first Quaestor. He established it’s lore and background from nothing, as well as fleshing out various aspects of it’s planetary domain in order to give the House it’s own holdings and well-established foundation. He continued to be Quaestor for nearly eight months. During this time, Mirado produced regular reports and competitions, ensuring his members were always in the know and had something to do.

I had the pleasure of working with Mirado as his Aedile. As a new leader, I didn’t know how to do hardly anything. Mirado set a great example for me, and it’s from him that I learned how to write reports and create competitions that matter and seem interesting to the people participating in them. Mirado helped me find confidence in myself when I didn’t know if I had what it took to be a leader, and it’s safe to say I would not be where I am now if not for him.

Mirado also became a Magistrate to the VOICE and held this position for more than five months, until recently becoming Praetor to the Voice. In this capacity, Mirado ran and helped grade competitions. He was responsible for multiple, well-fleshed out ideas. While these were not always approved, they show that Mirado is dedicated to the entire Dark Brotherhood, and not merely his own Clan.

Aside from his leadership endeavors, Mirado has always been an active member. He has participated in sixteen competitions since his last award, a Steel Cross earned in December of 2011. He also earned 10 Crescents, placing highly in competitions such as as the Ambitions Runon event. These totals also demonstrate Mirado’s dedication to Clan events; he participated in four competions for the Festival of Renewal event and four more in the SvC: Children of Revolution event.

Beyond leadership and activity, Mirado is a skilled writer. Not content to use these merely for his own glory, Mirado has assisted many other members with their fiction writing as well as efforts in the ACC. He has taken the initiative on his own to offer his skills to others, rather than just wait for them to come to him. Whether in a Runon or Clan event, Mirado is there to support other members of the Dark Brotherhood. He is also always available, whether by IRC, Google Talk, or simple email.

In addition to helping members, Mirado has been a big assistance to Summit. Even while not on it, he frequently asks if there is any way he can help out and has worked on various little projects for us. These include creating graphical images and fiction to support events, offering his knowledge to plan plot-lines, working on wiki articles, or including sample files. Mirado’s work is always of great quality and he has a high turnaround time, two traits which further make him an invaluable member of the Brotherhood. He’s always there if I have a question or need something, and his turnaround time is great.

For the above reasons, I am happy to request that Mirado Pepoi L’eonheart be elevated to the rank of Obelisk Prelate. Congratulations, Mirado!

Mirado has been a most interesting of resources when it came to the ACC and Fiction writing. In him I found another member who was immensely interested in hand-to-hand martial arts. The number of conversations we've had about combat is somewhat ridiculous but he has been a great resource in how Real World martial arts can be equated to the DJB options. This has made ACC less of a big-bad for me, as well as others who have shared in this information. He is always willing to offer a helping hand and give an interesting perspective on things. He is ambitious and it shows as he is always wiling to take on tasks above his "pay grade".

It has been an honour for me to work with Mirado over these past few years, his tenure as Magistrate to the Voice prompting his own recent ascension to Praetor where he has taken to the new leadership position like duck to water, already creating events and establishing new documentation for the Brotherhood's Fiction competitions with the help of others. In a continued effort to increase the Brotherhood's fictional presence, Mirado actively mentors members both young and old in the ACC and proper Run-on etiquette without a thought of it for himself. Outside of his work for the Office of the Voice, I had the honour of being both his Proconsul and Consul as he formulated and grew House Shar Dakhan with the help of Locke. His own brainchild and baby, Mirado single-handedly formed the new House from absolutely nothing into a fully functioning House while also promoting a fun and active atmosphere with his competitions that allowed his members to add their input to the direction of the House. Chief amongst this, Mirado has continued to make a name for himself by actively participating in numerous competitions amidst his work for Naga Sadow and the Brotherhood; earning a Steel Cross for his hard work and continuing on without even taking a moment to pat himself on the back.

It is my honour to include my recommendation for Mirado to be elevated to the rank of Equite Two, Obelisk Prelate.

Since his last promotion on 6/8/2011, Mirado has continued to work and serve the Brotherhood. In that time he has won 10 Crescents, participated in over 16 competitions, mentored folks in the ACC and fiction writing, served as QUA of HSD for 8 months, ran several competions, served as Magistrate and later Praetor to the Voice since January of '12, earned 12 Seals, 6 Clusters of Ice, 2 Gold Novae, a Silver Nova, an SC, an AC, and a DC. 2 of those Crescents were CrR's, indictationg a level of high DB-level comp perfomance along with the Novae. Mirado serves the overall Brotherhood and continues to be active and excel at what he does. He's motivated, helpful, good at mentoring, has a great arttiude, and is a serious asset both to those he aerves and helps as well as the Clan and club at large. As his first master nd having had him work under me as Consul I have to say I'm pretty proud of how he handles himself, and he has shown himself to be a great member. He exemplifies what it means to work and serve, and he should be elevated to Equite Two with all honors thereby.

I would like to personally recommend a promotion for Mirado. Not only is he an excellent leader, but he is very hard working as he has proved by moving up various ranks since he has begun in the DJB. Since his last elevation on June 8th, 2011, he has continued to put forth his best efforts in everything that he does. Mirado makes it a habit to mentor everyone that may need it, including members that are new to DJB as well as those new to ACC and Fictions. He was the first Quaestor of HSD for about 8 months, in which during that time he ran various competitions on a regular basis and put out great reports regularly. On top of that, he also built the initial House fiction completely from scratch. He continues to run regular comps to keep everyone interested, entertained, and active, as well as keep us all thinking and on our toes, as he is now Magistrate to the Voice and has been since Jan 5th. He continues to be a strong leader in all aspects and keeps an active presence in IRC to help out and keep everyone in the loop on what they need to know, and help anyone with anything they need. Mirado has also had 10 crescents since his last award, which just so happened to be a Steel Cross, and participated in 16 competitions. He keeps motivation up as well as morale not only in the houses and clan, but as well as in the entire DJB as a whole. Recently he has worked with other clans to bring together our next upcoming event, which is just one example out of many of how hard he works to keep things rolling and fun and interesting for everyone. This also shows how well of a team player he is with everyone he comes in contact with and not just with those in CNS but in all of the DJB. Mirado is a valuable member of the DJB in many aspects, and I personally believe, and I know many others will agree, that he is more than deserving of a promotion as he continually shows his passion for the Brotherhood in everything he puts his efforts towards.

Mirado has been a Templar for more than a year and in that period of time he has shown us his dedication to his Clan and the Brotherhood overall. In terms of activity he has been constantly active be it in the competition front or just helping out his summit or doing various tasks as Magistrate of the Voice. He’s earned ten crescents and entered 16 competitions.

There is more than just entering competitions that determines if a person is ready for the next step of promotion. Mirado has been in various leadership roles over the course of the last year or so. He was the first Quaestor of House Shar Dakhan, he worked diligently at creating lore and promoting the house to the Clan building a love for the house. He also became Magistrate of the Voice, while I am not one really able to comment on that, his success as Magistrate has lead him to be the Praetor of the Voice and currently acting Voice.

I have known Mirado for a long time, since he joined the club basically. In that time he has shown that he is willing to go to any ends to help people do what they wish to achieve in the Brotherhood. He has done many ACC matches working with the opponent to get qualified. He has taken the initiative to start a sandbox run on for the Clan that allows character development. He can make anyone who has had a bad day much better by simply listening to them and then give them a good piece of music to listen too.

I believe that Mirado has more than earned his promotion to Prelate. Congrats cousin you’ve earned this.
