To Whom It May Concern:

Krath Priest Xantros has been sitting at EQ1 for over 15 months now, and is ready to take the next step forward in the Equite ranks. At this exact moment he is sitting as the Scholae Palatinae Aedile, SA Professor, on the Appeals Panel and is the new created Tribune: Recruitment.

Xantros came back to Scholae Palatinae after a leave from the Brotherhood back at the very beginning of the year. Having already spent a good deal of time working with him while he was a BTL, I knew what he was capable of. It was a difficult time for HSP, with both AED and RM leaving without notice. To my relief Xantros was willing to step up as the new HSP Aedile. This was easily one of the best decisions I have made as a leader.

Xantros strikes at whatever faces him with an intense ferocity. He came into AED with a list of new ideas. He helped organize our on going Wikipedia revisal. He took the time to create the HSP Chapters, which is the fictional updated for things that members have done and participated to give a deeper fictional interaction for our members beyond whatever fictional lines the house as a whole is developing (which was mainly the crusade this past year). Xantros has also already prepared a full house event to be run sometime this next year. He is also working on getting the Scholae Imperial Senate set up to give members a chance to debate and discuss various topics for the house.

Beyond all of this Xantros has been standing in the activity spotlight. He has at all times lead from the front. Its far more than the standard reports each month. He emails members. He is on IRC talking (or as so often its been given a dbb0t response, “looking around”). He was a constant presence in the Crusade and on our Special Forces Team (20 events and 3 nova!). In fact he has earned 2 Silver Nova, 1 Bronze Nova, 2 Sapphire Star, 5 Emerald Star, 3 Topaz Star, 3 Quartz Star, 1 Dark Cross, 1 Antiean Cross, 2 Steel Cross, 12 Seals of Reminiscence, 6 Scrolls of Foundation, 6 Cluster of Ice, and 1 Seal of Loyalty.

In truth, Xantros is too good to be merely AED here in HSP. I’ve never met someone who has just so many different ideas bursting out of him to try out and improve the Brotherhood. He is frequently talking about new SA Course ideas he wants to get written, new strategies for engaging the members of the house, new ways to work in fictional elements for everything we do. I know somewhere on his computer there is probably a list pages long of things that could be done in one-way or another across the Brotherhood. I know this because I’ve gotten lists of ideas for just HSP from him in our many discussions on the house.

It has been an absolute privilege working with Xantros over the course of this year and I hope there are many more to come. Xantros is the definition of what we want and need in a leader here in this club.

To Xantros let me just say, Congratulations and welcome to Equite 2. Enjoy being an Archpriest! Drinks are on you!

Xantros has been a stalwart member of Scholae Palatinae for as long as I can remember. In spite of English being his second language, he is a decorated fiction writer, and his leadership and activity are second to none. With an impeccable record, and always a ready wit, Xantros has led from the front in the Dark Crusade, and deserves all the praise and laurels heaped upon him. Well done, Xantros!

KP Xantros has – over the last number of months – been a veritable fountain of activity. He has, so far, written 14,754 words for the Shadow Academy. This spread out over seven potential and future courses. He did this while, as the recommendations from his leaders and peers will indubitably prove, helping to run an independent Unit towards achieving 4th place overall in the Dark Crusade Vendetta. He also actively participated in said Crusade.

Xantros joined the Staff around the time he earned his promotion to Equite 1. Sadly, due to personal issues he had to resign half a year later. When he – this last march – returned to the Academy, we were overjoyed to have him back with us. Upon rejoining, the Headmaster and myself were quite happy as he started bombarding us with ideas for courses and showed a desire to aid us in creating/modernizing several courses that were already in the making. A brief example perhaps: he’s created courses on blogging, how to create character back stories, how to manage the process of creating Unit Lore. Upon his appointment to Recruitment Tribune, he quickly started work on an SA guide/course on recruitment and ways of going about recruiting people.

Personally, I put Xantros in charge of several aspects of a subdivision of a project I am working on. Xantros was placed in command of fleshing out, updating and in some cases creating courses for the future “Department of Management Studies”. In this venture, he was aided and supported by Jac Cotelin. Their progress is going quite well and I have nothing but praise for the work of this team and it’s leader. Courses such as Leadership Rewarding, Reporting, Applications and Management will – in my opinion – alter the way we prepare leaders for future positions. As well as helping in course creation, Xantros also advises the SA on ideas for future courses.

In my opinion, Xantros has more then earned a promotion to the rank of Archpriest.

Since Xantros has joined the Dark Brotherhood, he has been on e of the most active members and leaders within Scholae Palatinae. His work ethic is outstanding, and he has worked hard both within the Empire and the Brotherhood at large in a number of positions. The current work that he is doing as Tribune of Recruitment will hopefully pay off in huge amounts as the Brotherhood takes advantage of a variety of new ideas and technologies. In addition to his duties as Tribune, Xantros has continued his excellent work as Aedile of Scholae and a professor with the Shadow Academy’s Department of Writing Studies. It is even more impressive as English is not his first language. He leads from the front as evidenced by his plethora of seals as well as his participation over the events of the year long Crusade against the One Sith. I am glad to be able to include this recommendation for my apprentice as he continues his journey up the hierarchy of the Brotherhood.

Xantros stepped up to the plate when the necessity arose. He went above and beyond everything that his position stood for. Xantros was always willing to work with everyone who needed help and constantly showed his presence around the House when it came to competitions, the crusade, irc, meetings and just plain being around to talk. He has honestly become one of the strongest core members within Scholae Palatinae, and there are many things that would not have been possible without him. He helped us bounce back from our smaller participation, and was always at the forefront of the Crusade, pushing everyone to follow and forge their own path. His leadership has inspired many, myself included to keep trudging along this long and difficult path. But with people like Xantros around, it becomes easier to bare when we all hold the weight upon our shoulders. It has been a long time coming since he deserved this promotion, congratulations Xantros, drinks are on you on you! Proud of you :)

I am honored to get a chance to recommend Xantros for a promotion to the next rank within the equites. When Xantros came back from his brief leave for his studies at the very start of this year he was ready to get to work. Within the week he assumed the role of Aedile left open in his absence which he has held ever since. During this past year I have enjoyed working with him as part of the Scholae House Summit. While I know he has also been active within the Shadow Academy, Chamber of Justice and now Recruitment Tribune, it is all these other tasks he handles while supporting Scholae that make the promotion after a long year more worthwhile.

He has kept the house engaged fictionally through the forums, while running multiple competitions between phases of the Dark Crusade. Also helping me run a House wide campaign taking a deeper look at one of our system planets and graded one of the sections. While adding all this content to the House, he has lead by example and participated in nearly every competition run by the House earning 10 crescents and likely just short of earning many more when he failed to place.

He is an amazing member of Scholae Palatinae, and it is great, writing, and creating with him. His hard work and passion for the Dark Jedi Brotherhood and his House Scholae Palatinae are unmatched. It is for this and all the reasons above, that I recommend Xantros for a promotion to Krath Archpriest. Congratulations it was hard and well earned.

A whirlwind of activity. These are the words that best describe Xantros. While many are content to simply coast along through the DB, Xantros constantly strives to improve the Brotherhood, the House, and himself. It seems not a day goes by that he does not present an idea to improve Scholae Palatinae. Whether it be a method to present the membership with a fictional update of House activity (Chapters), pseudo-positions for members wanting more responsibility (Aides of the Empire), or the many additions he has made to the HSP’s wiki, Xantros goes to great lengths in considering a projects importance and viability. As the newly created Tribune of Recruitment as well as his responsibilities as SA Professor, I am certain the Brotherhood can look forward to witnessing Xantros’ efforts firsthand.
While the majority of the House are unaware of Xantros’ efforts behind the scenes, there is no doubt as to his commitment to lead by example. During the Crusade he had one of the highest participation records in the House, earning himself a plethora of awards in the process. Furthermore, he frequently offers various competitions to the House and Brotherhood and is in the final stages of preparing a House event to be run in the coming year.
Xantros, what more can I say but congratulations? There are few more deserving of this than you. Drinks are on you!
