Primary reason

Xantros has been a very active, helpful member of House Scholae Palatinae. He actively works with anyone needing assistance, shows great leadership skills in Caliburnus, and works very hard in the office of MAA. Xantros showed exceptional activity in the recent Summer Feud, and contributed greatly in the Tenth Great Jedi War. He's not afraid to ask for help if needed, nor is he ever too busy to help his Apprentice Kazumi. Xantros is a diligent worker in all he does, and is deserving of a promotion to EQ1. - Xan Phraz-Etar

Xantros is an amazingly active person within our Brotherhood community. He is currently our BTL in Caliburnus as well as being the M:MAA for about a year. He is always there participating and running competitions for older members as well as new and upcoming members to get new shiny medals. Xantros has always been there helping anyone out with questions or advice, he was extremely active especially within the last GJW and the Feud that just ended. He is also very active with the Shadow Academy with Dark Mevan's. Xantros has been with us all for just over 2 years and while all of this is going on, even has a Journeyman he is helping reach Knighthood as well. I am proud to call Xantros an amazing friend here within the Brotherhood with me and whole heartedly support his promotion to EQ1. He certainly deserves it with all of the exceptional work that he puts into this club! ~Eetherbiail

I hereby put forth my recommendation that Xantros be elevated to the Equite level of the Dark Jedi Brotherhood. This gentleman was one of my clanmates in the EH Dark Brotherhood, and he became my apprentice when he came to the Dark Jedi Brotherhood over two years ago. Xantros has been one of the best members of Scholae since his joining, and I am proud to write this recommendation.
His achievements have been many over the past 22 months that have elapsed since his last promotion. Within that time, he has been awarded 3 Novae, 16 Seals, a Steel Cross, an Anteian Cross, 3 Dark Crosses, a Seal of Loyalty, 11 Clusters of Ice, and an impressive 43 crescents of varying degrees.
In addition to these rewards, he has given back to the House of Palpatine through his work as a battleteam leader within Scholae for almost 2 years. Within his leadership role, he actively participated in planning and running 23 competitions that the members of Scholae Palatinae could enjoy and participate in with their fellow housemates including 2 multi-event competitions.
To begin their rise from the journeymen ranks to those of the equites, members must begin to become involved outside their own house, and Xantros has taken this to heart. He has served admirably as both a professor with the Shadow Academy and as a Magistrate to the Master at Arms of the Dark Brotherhood. As an elder of the House, I am pleased to put forth this recommendation in favor of my apprentice in honor of his outstanding portfolio of work over the past two years. Signed, Kell Palpatine Dante Obelisk Primarch

Since being receiving his Knighthood, Xantros has been a near constant presence in Scholae Palatinae. Participating in events and competitions left and right as well as giving his best wherever he can to improve the House and the Brotherhood as a whole. In the space of these two years between now and his promotion to knight, Xantros has earned forty-three Crescents (divided into: four Crescents with Quartz Star, fourteen Crescents with Topaz Star, fourteen Crescents with Emerald Star, five Crescents with Sapphire Star, four Crescents with Amethyst Star and two Crescents with Ruby Star), seventeen Vendetta Seals (divided into: one Seal of Defiance, four Seals of Return and twelve Seals of Decimation), eleven Clusters of Ice, three Novae (divided into: one Bronze Nova and two Silver Novae), three Dark Crosses, one Anteian Cross, one Steel Cross and even a Seal of Loyalty. He has completed sixteen Shadow Academy Courses, earning him Dark Maven Degrees in General History, Philosophy and Writing. Xantros has served his House as Battleteam leader for the last nineteen months, making his unit one of the most active in the House. He has also served the Brotherhood as a Shadow Academy Professor for over five months now and as Magistrate to the Master at Arms for an entire year. As a member of the Shadow Academy Staff, Xantros has recently been awarded a Dark Maven Degree in Service (the honourary degree offered by the Academy for outstanding work as a member of the staff). Overall, Xantros is a dedicated leader, an active participant in a wide variety of events and fields of competition and one of those members that has somehow made himself into an active, well rounded member of the Dark Brotherhood. In my opinion, Xantros has more than earned his admission into the ranks of the Equites and is more then worthy of the honour of calling himself a Krath Priest. He has attained the mandatory Steel Cross. He has maintained a high level of personal and vendetta-related activity over the course of (just about) 24 months, earning him (as listed above) fifty-four competition awards, twenty vendetta-related awards, five merit awards and one seal of loyalty as well as attaining 3 Shadow Academy Degrees. He has served as a leader within his House for a total of nineteen months and has occupied a position of leadership for a cumulative total of seventeen months (over the last year).

To whom it may concern: Xantros has shown that he is ready for elevation to the Equite level. I believe that this should have happened a while ago, but regardless of that point his body of work speaks for itself. In the almost 2 years since Xantros’ last promotion he has earned the following awards: Crescents: 4 Quartz 15 Topaz 14 Emerald 5 Sapphire 4 Amethyst 2 Ruby 3 DCs 1 AC 1 SC SoL 11 Cluster of Ice 2 Silver Novae 1 Bronze Nova And a handful of Seals During this time he has also served Scholae Palatinae as a loyal BTL of Caliburnus. During his time as a BTL, he has run around 20 competitions. Many of these were interesting and well received. Furthermore, Xantros has been a Professor in the SA, he has also worked as Magistrate to the Master at Arms.
Xantros is an awesome member and is always eager to do his best work. I am proud to recommend him for elevation to Krath Priest. Xantros has always shown dedication to his tasks, his house, and his peers. He is courteous and compassionate. Not only is he eager to excel, he’s eager to help wherever he can. It is always fun to write run-ons with him and he’s grown to be a pillar of activity and leadership around the House. Congratulations Xantros, you’ve earned this one! -SWL Thran Occasus

Upon my entry into the Dark Jedi Brotherhood, and into Scholae, Xantros has always assisted me. As a journeyman, Xantros pulled me into Caliburnus and helped me develop my character. The Duro also saw fit to help me during GJWX when I had no one to go into battle with. A mentor, Xantros helps all he can from the newcomers to the veterans. He'll work with everyone. The thing I admire most about Xantros is that he tries everything. He recognizes everyone has different talents and as such, he gives everything he does his best effort. He will help other members try things (he and I tried to qualify in ACC together) as well as be willing to proof read and assist in competitions. He also isn't afraid to ask for help or for someone to help him (which I think is a most excellent trait!) For these reasons and many many more, I believe Xantros should be promoted to EQ1 or Priest. For the Empire! - Akatsuki Tamalar 12363 RM of Scholae Palatinae

In spite of pressing real life school work and using a language which is not his mother tongue, Xantros has striven into the limelight of Scholae Palatinae, and has become one of our finest members. He represents us in the Master-At-Arms staff, as well as in the Shadow Academy, and is an excellent ambassador to the rest of the Dark Brotherhood with his calm and cheerful demeanor and constant presence. He wholeheartedly deserves this promotion and I hope he sticks around for longer still! -Archangel AED of Scholae Palatinae

Since his elevation to Dark Jedi Knight, Xantros has proven again and again what a stellar member he is. His level of dedication to Scholae Palatinae and the Brotherhood as a whole is outstanding. He works hard and of his own accord. I have been incredibly grateful to have him as a Battleteam Leader. While a difficult job and much like herding cats, Xantros has been done an excellent job since taking over the BTL position in Jan 2011. While BTL, Xantros has run 15 competitions on both a BTL and house level. He has also come forward with numerous other competitions to the HSP Summit. He takes his role as a leader seriously, and professionally. He maintains contact with those in his battleteam, and has issued several reports for the team. Where other BTLs have failed in HSP, Xantros has flourished in this position. He is a constant source of new ideas and projects for the house. For example, he came up with some new plans to help push character development with some of the new members. His plans and suggestions are always seeking to improve the experience of the DB for other members. He actively tries to better HSP while some others are content with letting this stay as they are. For that I am truly glad to have him around. But being a BTL is not all Xantros has accomplished since knighthood. He has served as M:MAA since Sept 1st 2011 and as a Shadow Academy Professor since March 24th 2012. Xantros is always willing to do whatever he can to help the club and this shows through the multiple positions he has taken up. Xantros is also a very active member on top of the duties he performs in his positions. He is constantly submitting HSP and DB wide competitions. He is an excellent example by doing so. Since his promotion to DJK, his participation has earned him the following: 4 Quartz Stars, 15 Topaz Stars, 14 Emerald Stars, 5 Sapphire Stars, 4 Amethyst Stars, 2 Ruby Stars, 3 Dark Crosses, 1Anteian Cross, 1 Steel Cross, 1 Seal of Defiance, 4 Seals of Return, 12 Seals of Decimation, 2 Silver Novae, 1 Bronze Novae, 11 Clusters of Ice and a Seal of Loyalty. That is quite a mouthful of awards! Xantros continues to work hard and diligently on a daily basis. He has done so on top of working on a very difficult school load and with having English as his second language. He remains a calm voice of reason and never loses his cool. He is truly a model member and a good friend. It is time he be recognized for his tremendous accomplishments and welcomed into the Equite ranks. Fantastic work Xantros. Drinks are on you! -Xen’mordin Vismorsus QUA of Scholae Palatinae
