During his time in Qel-Droma, Celevon has been an exemplary model of a member and leader. Always eager for work to improve Arcona, he is never resting on past success, always driving to do more.

He was one of the first members to help set up the ACB, and, whilst others have stepped down, unable to keep up with the stream of requests, he’s continued, always eager to set up and mark contract after contract, ensuring members always feel engaged and rewarded for their actions, a role that could be full time in itself. And yet, he has done it as a BTL for Arete alongside without ever faltering. He’s a shining example of a good leader, communicating with his members, making sure their voice is heard and their needs are met. Not only does he run the ACB, he ensures that Arete makes a good showing of itself every time it’s needed. A task he approaches with inexhaustible patience and drive.

Not only this, Celevon is a pillar of activity himself in competitions, with a real ‘lead from the front’ attitude. He has regularly fully participated in events for the DB and the Clan, often the most prolific in the latter. Not a week goes by when I don’t read about another award he has gained, be it Crescent or Cluster.

Nothing will ever show my gratitude enough to everything Celevon has done, and continues to do, for Arcona. Hopefully this will help. You totally deserve this, Celevon. Congratulations, and thank you.

Cel2 (as we lovingly call him, because, reasons) is a rare kind of member who takes the inch that you give him and runs for a mile with it. Originally, I had brought him on to help me get the ACB up and running, which meant handling the influx of contract requests and writing out custom-intros for each request and creating a fun/engaging mission for the members to tackle. Bit by bit, he kept asking if he could do more to help, leading into grading matches in a timely manner and keeping the queue regularly cleared. Prior to this, the ACB had always lived and died on my time to dedicate to it, which can be hard as a Proconsul or Consul. Celevon didn’t blink or hesitate and simply took the reins, though, and eventually I was able to stop checking the queue entirely because I trusted him and the small team he selected to work with us as well. I can’t begin to tell you how awesome that is, to willingly take on responsibility. It takes a lot of writing, and a lot of research and work to create so many unique prompts for members. It takes even more patience to not just give a grade on a match, but to offer real-time feedback on every single contract and show members where they can improve.

And he does all of this while keeping up with the standards of a Battleteam Leader in Arcona; he is a full participant in every Arconan activity, competition, or operation, and was a full participant in the entire Fading Light Vendetta.

I can’t say enough for how important Celevon is to Clan Arcona, as a leader and a competitor. Keep up the amazing work, Cel2, and thank you again for helping make my job as Consul easier.
