To Whom It May Concern:
There are few people in this organization who match the dedication and skill that Angelo Dante does. Over the years that I have known him, Iâve found Dante to be one of the most devoted and selfless members that this club has to offer. When it comes to times of war, leaders often present themselves in a different fashion than those who hold titles. These inspirational people lead by action, not words or fancy positions. Dante is one such person.
After years of undying service, Dante has once again proven himself as an invaluable member of this Clan. In the Rite of Supremacy, Dante competed in EVERY event. Though his skill set is widely thought to be Gaming, Dante extends himself beyond all boundaries to prove himself to be one of if not the most, loyal people that Clan Scholae Palatinae has ever seen.
Beyond his warrior attitude, Angelo Dante continues to show his ability to inspire, assist, and contribute by any means he can to the advancement and stability of this Clan as an Organization. He is a loyal confidant, contributing in the discussion and aim of the Clan Summit. As a trusted and revered member of the leadership of Clan Scholae Palatine (without holding any such title), he has contributed in more ways than can be described with words.
First and foremost, Angelo Dante should be acknowledged for his loyalty, his fidelity, and his ability to make everyone around him try just a little bit harder, accomplish just a little bit more, and strive for so much more in the future.
As a former PCON of Clan Scholae Palatinae, Dante has proven himself to maintain the responsibilities of a Clan leader without physically occupying the position. Leading our gaming Charge in the RoS, Leading a rally of our troops after a rather morale crushing defeat in week 1 of the RoS, and for raising the bar for what is expected of the veterans of this clan is reason enough to reward him.
For his continued and undying service, I would like to submit that Angelo Dante be awarded a Steel Cross. Great Job, my old friend, you inspire me to be better than I am. Thank you for everything you do, on the forefront and behind the scenes.
-Thran Occasus, Consul, Clan Scholae Palatinae
As the Codex indicates, the Steel Cross is awarded to an individual for their extended service to oneâs House or Clan. Such duties include aiding oneâs Quaestor or Aedile, as well as being a mentor to others.
Angelo Dante returned to HDS after his retirement from Proconsul to support the place he helped to grow. He has stated on many occasions that he wouldn't be anywhere else. His participation in the most recent Rise of Supremacy supports this. He had competed in absolutely all events, both in the on weeks and off weeks of the five week competition. He helped his Clan and continuing to better himself. During the second week of the RoS, he placed as top gamer of all the Clans, earning about 113 Clusters of Fire.
As a senior member, Dante is not required to compete in some of the lower level competitions made specifically for Journeymen. Unlike for them, it doesnât really enhance his dossier, but he competes in them all the same, allowing the reward benefits to be greater for the journeymen of his House.
As Quaestor of Dorimad Sol I would like to recommend Angelo Dante a Steel Cross for all the great work he has done for the House. Some of his positive actions go unoticed by the majority of members, but his efforts don't go missed by me.
