While I cannot personally attest to Cethgus' activity before he joined Clan Plagueis, his dossier clearly points the fact that he was a valuable member of Clan Scholae Palitane. As a member of CSP, after his promotion to Prelate, he accrued 43 Clusters of Fire, 28 Seals of Remembrance, and 14 odd Crescents more or less evenly spread among the roughly 4 months since his last promotion, and before his transfer to Clan Plagueis.
His time in Clan Plagueis has been no less fruitful. After his transfer to our Clan in September last year, Cethgus has been awarded a Legion of the Scholar, 49 Clusters of Fire, 11 Crescents, a Seal of Loyalty, and a Grand Cross of the Dark Side, not even mentioning his activity in the recent GJW. Such consistent and prolific activity easily puts Cethgus among Clan Plagueis' most active Equites, and most active members of any rank, as well as a model member in the Brotherhood as a whole.
However, as clearly stated by the Master at Arms policy, individual activity can not on its own warrant a promotion to Obelisk Exarch. On October 9, Cethgus was appointed as the BTL of House Exar Kun's battle team, Exar's Shadow. In three short months, Cethgus made 13 reports, more than most people in such a position write in a year, ran 8 competitions, and ran a runon for the Battle Team. He oversaw the creation of a new logo and motto for the team. In short, he got members active, and made Exar's Shadow into the best Battle Team in Clan Plagueis; I should know, as at that time, I was the BTL of Keto's Vengeance, and was in constant envy of Exar's Shadow's activity.
Cethgus' leadership credentials do not stop at BTL, however. In January, he was appointed to Rollmaster for Clan Plagueis and given the unenviable task of overseeing all Plagueis' Journeymen.
Coincidentally, around that same time, I moved to Aedile, and then Quaestor of House Satal Keto and began working with Cethgus on a much more direct and consistent basis. I can say that Cethgus rose to the position. With the nearly constant contact with Clan Plagueis' newer members, as well as tireless checking for members that have met promotion requirements (not to mention nagging me to write and submit promotion requests for said members), I would say without any hesitation that Clan Plagueis would not have as many good and active Journeymen as we do today. Finally, Cethgus was an integral part of Clan Plagueis' GJW effort. He was appointed to the (unofficial) position of Gaming Captain prior to the war and made it his mission that the Clan was as prepared for the gaming aspects of the GJW as possible. During the war, he sent weekly email updates to the Clan.
In short, after eleven months at Prelate, Cethgus more than deserves a promotion to Exarch. Congratulations, Ceth.

Rarely do I see a leader care as much about his charges as does Cethgus Kuga. Cethgus is Clan Plagueis' Rollmaster, and he interacts with the Journeymen, which largely contributes to more retention of the Journeymen, as well as their swift climbing of the ranks. Cethgus' duties as Rollmaster are to: welcome the Journeymen to the clan with an e-mail, provide each journeyman with a list of tasks they must complete before a promotion to the next rank (and send a new one after each promotion), maintain and work with the Consul and Proconsul on the Master Student Program (assigning students to masters, helping to figure out problems with parings, and helping to ok work given), be readily available to Journeymen for questions to be answered, and if necessary, write promotions for newer Journeymen. Cethgus does each of these without fail, even while doing his own work.
Since his promotion to Prelate, Cethgus has racked up 1 Grand Cross of the Dark Side (for his work done in Clan Plagueis), 25 Crescents (1 Ruby, 4 Amethyst, 10 Sapphire, 7 Emerald, 3 Topaz) , 92 Clusters of Fire, 28 Seals of Remembrance, 1 Legion of the Scholar, and a Seal of Loyalty. He has also done most of, if not all events in the Ninth Great Jedi War, the Uneasy Alliances three-way Clan Feud, the Independence Games, and more. All of this activity generated from Cethgus is in addition to his work as a Rollmaster and Battle Team Leader.
Cethgus is an all-around nice guy, and I am glad to write this promotion request for him. This is a little overdue, but congratulations Cethgus, on your promotion.

Since Cethgus joined us here in Clan Plagueis, he has been nothing but the model member. I dont need to reiterate all of the medals he has achieved or any of the positions he held, but I can talk about his level of leadership.
Hes been on top of his job as the Rollmaster for Clan Plagueis, e-mailing Journeymen with their next set of tasks, welcoming them to the Clan, pairing up Master/Student matches, and releasing weekly reports more often than any other leader in the Clan. He has supervised the Clan Channel every time Braecen or I have been absent and conducts himself in a calm and mature manner when faced with any situation that gets out of hand.
In addition to his normal duties, he served in an unofficial position during the Ninth Great Jedi War, Gaming Captain for Clan Plagueis, where he helped members of the Clan receive multiple Novas in events spanning the Gaming Events. Hes also been invaluable as a member of the Summit, acting as a sounding board for many ideas from the Consul and me.
After eleven months as an Obelisk Prelate, Cethgus has more than proved himself and is ready for a promotion to Obelisk Exarch. Congratulations, Cethgus, well deserved.
