There is so much I can say about Celevon, I honestly wish I was more like him. He's dedicated to his members and the duties of whatever position he holds. He's the type to burn the proverbial midnight oil doing the very unsexy work behind the scenes and outside the limelight to help take care of his people and keep things running smoothly. He's exceptionally dependable as a member, leader, staff member and friend. He does all this without any expectation of reward or recognition, in fact he's probably going to get annoyed at me gushing about how great he is.

Others will attest to the work he has done in Arcona and on the Shadow Academy staff but I can say he has already started making an impact on House Hoth and COU since joining us. He was hired in the middle of the Desperate Measures coop event with Clan Taldyran and dove right in, participating in 10 out of the 16 sub-competitions and placing 4th overall in the event! Since his last promotion he has received a Grand Cross and Steel Cross for his leadership and general activity. He has participated in 131 competitions (with an additional 16 container competitions) winning crescents in 39 of them. He has also collected 57 Clusters of Fire, 319 Clusters of Earth, 7 Clusters of Graphite and an exceptional 134 Clusters of Ice.

As much of a privilege as it is to work with him on the COU summit, it is a far higher honor to call him my friend. Few deserve the elevation to the highest Equite rank more. Congrats my friend, enjoy the spotlight for once.

As others will discuss his numbers and the impact he has had in his previous Clan I will focus on current and immediate impact he has had on House Hoth.

To start I can honestly say that I knew very little about Celevon until he applied to become the Aedile of House Hoth a little over a month ago. I was instantly impressed with his thoughts, his ideas and the foresight to reach out to me before he submitted his application to get a feel for the House and the people within it.

As soon as he was appointed to the position he went instantly to work on reorganizing the House Gdrive and retooling our member tracking system. He is very active within the House TG channels getting to now the members and working with them to improve themselves but the House as a whole as well. Celevon has definitely hit the ground running and has gain my respect with what he has been able to do I such a short time. I'm excited to see where we can take the House from here.

Congratulations on EQ4! It's more than well deserved!

Celevon Edraven is an experience to be had. A bold and unusual statement to be made, but backed by his personality, commitment, helping hand, and more. He is an active presence in Fiction comps and even will suffer his hand, literally, to enter Graphics competitions ran by his units. Cel maintains a supportive role in our community: taking up positions with the Headmaster, heading House Qel-Droma, and currently acting as Aedile for House Hoth. Oh, and there was about four hours of being BTS due to a misunderstanding. However, I mention this goof of mine because it stemmed from one of the things I believe makes Cel such a great member of the DJB, his extended hand and openness to helping other members, especially the new and learning. Celevon was a source of answers to all of the questions I had running through my head, and he became a great support in my own climb into leadership. He continues this spectacular behavior with all new joins.

Cel has no qualms about volunteering for projects. He’s helped greatly with the wiki revamp in Qel-Droma and with building up the recruitment drive that we hope will not only bring in new active members to the House, but future leaders and members to other Clans. Other feats would be his high willingness to collaborate with others, a constant tg presence, his BAMF musical talent, and more.

For all of the above, I recommend Celevon Edraven for promotion to EQ4. It's been a joy working for you and look forward to continue to. I suppose this now makes you the Grey Warden, yes?

Above, some fantastic folks have touched upon Celevon's invaluable and valiant work within the Clan setting. It is an honour and a privilege to be able to provide a further examination of Celevon's fantastic work within the realm of the Shadow Academy.

During the first few months of my tenure as Praetor to the Headmaster, Cel quickly became an invaluable resource, voice, and friend as a fellow Magistrate. At the time I didn't know it would be his last few months of service, and even now his presence is dearly missed in the realm of the Shadow Academy - and for good reason. During his six month tenure as Magistrate, Celevon stepped up to the plate and graded 33 courses for the Shadow Academy, no small feat for a Magistrate whose position is normally relegated to back-end administrative duties. Furthermore, Celevon was fully invested in numerous projects covering the entire width and breadth of the Shadow Academy, from large-scale projects including the Shadow Academy course audit, to writing numerous thousands of words updating or creating new courses such as Sith Order Core, and the new Galactic History 104: Ascendance of the First Order.

On behalf of the entire Shadow Academy team, thank you for your service, Celevon. This promotion is certainly fitting, though I personally can never thank you enough for the time you spent helping your Praetor get brought up to speed, and making sure your work was top notch.

Celevon, or Cel, is no stranger to hard work, leadership, or mentorship. Really, little can be said here today that hasn't been said before, and that in and of itself is the real testament as to why this promotion has really been earned. It's not just Cel's activity, it's not just that he's always, always been willing to step up and bear burdens wherever and whenever he could, never one to be idle - it's that he's done so time and time again. His service spans all sorts of positions and departments, from one of our stable and steadfast Quaestors and teachers of new Battleteam leaders and members in Arcona, to an assistant in the Shadow Academy, and now to a reprisal of Aedilehood in House Hoth. His skills are numerous, from writing and proofing to drawing and content creating, and he's happiest when he can share and pass on them all. Cel is a constant presence in our brotherhood, and his contributions have not gone unnoticed, and never will.

Thank you for all you've done and congrats.
