It gives me great pleasure to put Khryso Mallus forward for promotion to the rank of Equite 3. If there is one statement that sums up Khryso, it would be this: he is as steady as a metronome. He has been an absolute star since arriving in the Clan during the tenure of my predecessor without letting up. He has averaged 168 competition entries per year for the past three calendar years so far, and has maintained that average over the last 8 months since he reached Equite 2.

Khryso has put up activity numbers since his last promotion in April that are truly stellar. He has 109 competition entries in only 8 months time yielding fantastic medal results: 1 Silver Nova and 1 diamond, 7 ruby, 12 amethyst, 8 sapphire, 7 emerald and 2 quartz crescents along with 6 Vendetta seals. In addition, he has written 11,716 words of fiction to earn 34 clusters of ice, while also grabbing 24 Clusters of Graphite and 17 Clusters of Fire. He was additionally recognized as one of the recipients of the Seals of Loyalty granted to Plagueis members this year as well as with a Grand Cross and an Anteian Cross.

He has also been a valued member of the Plagueis summit since my appointment as well, distinguishing himself both in member outreach and engagement as well as project work as well. He has made contributions to his superior's House reports as each is published and served as the primary point of contact with his House members during the recent Pro Bowl as he sent out email updates as the event progressed. In addition, he personally wrote up the House Tyranus headquarters in the form of Fort Dooku as well as completing the massive project to update the Plagueis Clan history article on the DJB Wiki and bring it up to the current time. The latest additions to his massive project, completed since this August, totaled 1,313 words but reflected more work than the number of words would suggest as it wasn't merely composing his own fiction but instead uniting disparate "plot" points from across the Brotherhood as well as the real life shuffles of the summit into a coherent, digestible format for ease of consumption by the Clan. This is often the sort of work that either doesn't get done or is done haphazardly, and Khryso has taken on this project with the sort of zeal that is rarely found. In short, he very much "punches above his weight class" as an Aedile, and his service is not unseen by the Clan.

Khryso is the exemplar of what an active, engaged, and contributing member and leader can and should be. He continues to make a lasting impression on the Clan, one that is well above and beyond what is expected of him. I feel honored to work with him, and even more so to write the recommendation for his elevation to Equite 3. I know this will not be the last step upon your journey, and it is my hope that you truly sense how valued you are to the Ascendant Clan.

You have my thanks, Khryso!

Balthasar has been progressing by leaps and bounds! Having shown great affinity with both the fandom, and the Clan, he's already chewed through 14 SA courses, done 5 comps and earned his first Pendant of Blood! Already a common face on our Discord, he's been engaging with more established members of the Clan with growing familiarity and taken the first steps of establishing their fictional presence with their first character sheet.

I'm proud to recommend this promotion for all the well-earned effort he has shown—and continues to show on a daily basis!

Sinya has continued to be a constant presence of both activity and leadership since last being promoted in July. Since then, Sinya has participated in 54 total competitions while placing in 8 of those and earning 2 Diamond, 1 Ruby, 4 Amethyst, and 1 Sapphire crescents. Sinya has amassed clusters across four varieties, taking home 32 Clusters of Fire and 5 Clusters of Earth for gaming, 4 Clusters of Ice for 1,211 words of fiction, and 6 Clusters of Graphite for graphics entries. In addition, Sinya has joined the Plagueis summit as the Battleteam Leader of Battleteam Tazlin and worked to build a community to drive engagement with members assigned to the team. Sinya convinced me to create a team channel on Telegram to help drive one on one and small group engagement, and, while I initially questioned the idea, Sinya has used the channel to good effect amongst the members of the unit. I was happy to be proven wrong on this one!

Sinya is the kind of member that I think all units and Consuls would wish for as a newer join. Active both in individual activity and, more importantly, in the area of the exceedingly important evolving leadership task of member engagement, Sinya is one of the stars of Clan Plagueis. Congratulations!

This recommendation is a long time in coming. Over 6 years to be exact. Brimstone has been a constant beacon of activity over that time, a true powerhouse in churning out entries and raking in Crescents and credits. More than that he is a steady voice around the various channels we use to communicate in and a valued member of Clan Vizsla, the entire brotherhood and good friend to have around.

I had to break out the super advanced calculator to add up all the competitions he has entered and medals he has won. A total of 720 competitions in the last 6 years is more than most members enter in their entire career. He has completed 11 ACC battles and written 27456 words of fiction counting his work in various Run Ons. From all that activity he has won 107 crescents and 2 Gold Nova. He has amassed 1055 total Clusters, 74 Seals, 8 Merit awards, 1 Sapphire Blade, and 1 Ruby Scepter.

It is simply staggering the amount of work he puts into competing in the Club. More than that though he has become a valuable member of the Vizsla Summit over the last 6 months. I won’t lie I was skeptical at how he would perform, since he had never been in a leadership role within the club. He has exceeded my goals for him and performed his duties both promptly and accurately. Tasked with updating the clans records in the new Google Drive account and the spreadsheets within. Oftentimes he has them updated within minutes of the activity being made public.

His assistance on various Clan projects has been helpful as well with the Fleet retcon being the most expansive. We recently redid the entire Clan Fleet in Vizsla. He assisted both Ricmore, and myself in going over the ships, building a plan and then organizing the Vizsla Navy. This was not a small task as we literally sold our entire assets, planned and crunched numbers and then made a list of various fleet designs before choosing the final plan. It was a big undertaking that took over a month to complete.

Brimstone has over the years fought through every conceivable issue and coined the phrase “Brimstoning” as has been mentioned before. Doing everything you can with as little resources as possible. That kind of dedication and determination is rare and should be recognized at every available opportunity. This is one such time and I am happy to recommend Brimstone for this promotion and to be the first to congratulate him.
