Khryso Mallus is, by any stretch of the imagination, one of the most criminally under-recognized members of the Brotherhood I've seen. Much of that is, of course, because his work often flies under the radar to those that are not paying attention. He's not standing around in chat talking himself up, he's not working on shiny projects that create a lot of glitz and glamor. He is just one that simply stands up and does the grunt work that needs doing. The Brotherhood has a lot of nitty gritty jobs that just need doing, and Khryso is often the one that is the one doing them.

He has amassed a mountain of medal XP tracked via our system, working out to 21,900 total points. Much of that was amassed over his years of service, waiting to be spent once the XP system went live. The fact that he needed to be "caught up" in the form of a Dark and Steel Cross each was just a symbol of all that he had done, and all that he had not been recognized over the years for. He received those awards and still had over twenty thousand medal XP as yet unrecognized. He has participated in nearly 800 competitions and placed in just under 250 of them, many of those placements earned before Crescent eligibility was expanded. 93 Shadow Academy Courses, 16 degrees, over 86 thousand words of fiction, 214 Clusters of Ice, etc. The numbers just continue to be staggering. He's pulled in awards for his activity, sure But the fact that his work has been "rewarded" while still leaving him nearly 22 thousand medal XP unspent speaks to the absolute insanity that is his activity level.

Additionally, he has worked to do a lot of work that isn't tracked by his XP numbers. He has served our Clan in his leadership positions. Beyond that, though, he has been the driving force behind the Clan's wiki presence. He's crafted articles for locations, entire units, events, etc. Most importantly of late, he has been the one slogging through the various fiction updates across the Brotherhood for vendettas, events, etc. in order to ensure that said information is chronicled in the history of Clan Plagueis. Lore, or as Howie calls it "Krathy stuff", is all well and good as it goes by, but without that information being written down all it can ever be is a flash in the pan. The unit cannot have a cohesive history that evolves as it grows, as stories feed into the next. Since he was last recognized with a medal for his wiki updating, he has made edits to 40 individual Clan Plagueis related pages, including updates of 10,080 and 4,924‎ bytes to the‎ Falger Mining Company article, 1,525 bytes to the Clan Plagueis history article, and 1,309‎ bytes to the House Tyranus article among others. Khryso is even the one that is chasing me down to ask for more work to ensure that the Clan does not suffer with the lack of content recording, which is the mark of true dedication. Lore updates to the wiki are not something that gets noticed, that is until somebody goes to look for something and cannot find it. Only when the content isn't maintained does it get noticed. Essentially, this work is a symbol of Khryos's work for our Clan: nobody in particular is noticing because it just gets done.

In short, I want to make sure that Khryso knows this: We noticed. All the things that you have done for our Clan over the years have not been forgotten. Congratulations!
