TuQ'uan Varick di Plagia, otherwise known as "the Hat", has been a pillar of Clan Plagueis since his first arrival here. He has has been an absolute unit, both over the course of his career prior to the new XP system and for every second since. He's been a leader of note and a participant extraordinaire (don't stand between him and a Pro Bowl on that last one). The best point that can illustrate his prior value is this: 15,802. That is the amount of earned, lifetime medal experience TuQ was left with after he was awarded an Anteian Cross and Amethyst Kukuri when the XP system went live and I had some "automatic" medals to throw his way. The number that speaks to what he's done since? 9,465, the amount of medal XP he's added to his total since February when that Amethyst Kurkuri was awarded. See? Absolute unit.

Since his last award was issued, TuQ has entered 141 competitions and earned 1 Bronze Nova and 5 Diamond, 13 Ruby, 13 Amethyst, 14 Sapphire, 9 Emerald, 4 Topaz, and 2 Quartz crescents (a 43% placement rate). Clusters? He's got those, too, in the form of 33 Fire, 16 Ice, 221 Earth, and 8 Graphite. He recently successfully earned a Scroll of the Master for mentoring a newly joined apprentice to the rank of Knight. The Bronze Nova noted previously was for his absolute destruction of the recent Clan Vendetta against Taldryan, where he came in third overall and hit every event. He's been an excellent member, doing everything asked and then some. And then there's all the stuff he did to generate that 15,802 "left over" XP listed above during his time in service to the Ascendant Clan. 700+ lifetime competitions, 52,000+ words of fiction, leadership at literally every Clan level from Battleteam Leader to Proconsul, and 88 Vendetta seals to top it all off because TuQ is always Mr. Reliable come Vendetta season.

His work as a leader in our Clan, however, isn't something that always shows up on the stat sheet. He's all over it when it comes to his messaging where he's published all his reports on time and on target. He's directly engaged with his members on the sort of one on one level that is required in a modern Brotherhood where member attention is much more fractured. Many people say that their subordinate leaders do excellent work engaging their members, but few can back it up with the Data that TuQ can: During our recent Clan Feud, TuQ was able to get 13 of the 14 members then on his roster to submit entries during the event. Many would say that unit performance is more due to the members you happen to have and less about leadership, but I'd counter that a 92% participation rate isn't getting lucky and having active members. He works hard to cultivate a positive relationship between his members and himself, our Clan, and the Brotherhood as a whole. He is an excellent member of the Plagueian Summit, and our corner of the Brotherhood would not be the same without him.

In closing, while I feel it might be a bit dangerous to give him this red stone-bearing club, I think the risk to life and limb to the rest of us is outweighed by the requirement that TuQ be awarded this Ruby Scepter. Thank you for everything that you do, sir!
