Furios Morega has been one of the pillars of Clan Plagueis for many years now, both as a leader and as a individual. He has been a powerhouse of activity as well as a member that has made the transition from consumer to producer, serving both our Clan as Aedile and Battleteam Leader as well as the Brotherhood as a whole as a Magistrate. Very few members that I've had the pleasure of working with have been so focused on making the Brotherhood around them a better place for all instead of just a better place for themselves. Furios has always had his eye toward the former goal, and has done an outstanding job of helping reach that goal as well.
On the level of personal activity, he has always been there for his Clan during major events: 9 entries in the Plagueis Sphere of Influence feud, 5 entries for Fading Light, 8 for the Anchorage feud, 11 for Great Jedi War XI, 14 entries across all three rounds of the Restoration feud, 31 entries for the three clan Aftermath event, and 20 entries for the recently completed Plagueis Winter Trials. His efforts and individual competition placements always stood him in good stead during these events: 3rd place in the Sphere of Influence feud, 2nd place in the Anchorage feud, 5th place in the Restoration feud, 4th place in Aftermath, and 2nd place for the Plagueis Winter Trials. No other member of Plagueis has maintained such a consistent level of competitive excellence for even half as long as Furios has. In total since his last promotion, he has participated in 152 competitions and earned 1 Silver Nova, 50 crescents (5 Ruby, 9 Amethyst, 22 Sapphire, 10 Emerald, 2 Topaz, and 2 Quartz), and 1 Legion of the Scholar. As a gamer, he has 61 PvP activities and 189 PvE activities reported and has earned 336 Clusters of Fire, 1,397 Clusters of Earth, and 12 Pendants of Blood. As a fiction author, he has submitted to 25 fiction activities for a total of 11,627 words, 3 run-on posts totaling 2,732 words, and completed 1 match in the ACC. These efforts have also earned him 27 Clusters of Ice. To round out this flurry of activity, he has also been a dedicated student at the Shadow Academy, completing 13 courses as well as 5 degrees (3 Mavens, 1 Savant, and 1 Sage).
Not content to simply be a powerhouse of individual activity, Furios has been an excellent leader as well. At a one on one level he was Master to both Ra'gnar and Azmodius Equesinfernum, mentoring them both to the rank of Knight and earning 2 Scrolls of the Master. A testament to Furios's guidance, both of these members remain active parts of Clan Plagueis even 2 years after their knighthood. At the institutional level, Furios has served as Aedile of House Ajunta Pall and now as Battleteam Leader of our new Battleteam, The Circle. His time as Aedile coincided with some of the most productive times for House Ajunta Pall, where I worked with him to build on the success the House had seen to create even more activity. Without Furios, none of that would have been possible. In addition, since his return to Plagueis his service to The Circle has been invaluable. The Circle is a battleteam specifically for our new members, helping shepherd them through their initial contact with the Brotherhood and guiding them to the Journeyman ranks. Furios also wrote much of the new fictional background of his new unit, and personally wrote over half of the wiki article for his unit. His seasoned leadership has brought a steadying hand to our Battleteam and the new members within it, and he has worked closely with our Rollmaster to ensure the future of Plagueis can remain bright.
Furios also spent over a year working as a Magistrate to the Fist in charge of the Brotherhood's presence in The Old Republic. Following many trials and tribulations, he came in and righted the ship and helped create a more healthy and positive TOR environment. Much of what he did there is detailed in this recommendation, but I will attempt to summarize: He revamped the reward structures for TOR through testing, prepared the Guild for a new expansion launch, and rebuilt the officer structure from the ground up. Watching him do that work and lead weekly raids, I knew that the Brotherhood's TOR presence was doing about as well as it had since the launch of the game.
Furios's excellent service to the Brotherhood has been recognized several times since his battlefield promotion during the Dark Crusade. In that time, he has been awarded 1 Dark Cross, 2 Grand Crosses, and 1 Sapphire Blade. The recommendations for these awards speak to the high levels of excellence that Furios has always maintained as a member of Plagueis and the Brotherhood at large. As a tribute to his long time service and consistent dedication, it gives me great pleasure to submit his name for advancement to the rank of Equite 3. It's been a long time coming, my friend, and it is well deserved!
