I first met Brujah many years ago when I joined Clan Scholae Palatinae. Time passed and eventually Brujah had to depart for the Rogues. This is a story many of us know well. It's not often that we get our friends back from the void of roguehood, but it's even rarer to see members return and absolutely attack and destroy every activity laid in front of them. Brujah has done just that.

Since his return, this man has been a veritable tornado of participation, sucking up and spitting out everything in his way. Brujah is gaming, participating in the ACC, has studied up on the new way of the DB in the Shadow Academy and is doing just about every competition around. In our relatively recent Clan event, Brujah competed in nearly all the competitions and placed 4th overall. The man has stacks of things he's done in the last two months and he shows no signs of slowing down. It blows me away. I could list everything, but what really matters is the spirit that he brings to CSP.

Brujah has quickly reintegrated within the community of CSP and is a regular contributor to our chats. In that time, he has been welcoming and warm. He's quick to share a funny gif or crack a joke. That tells me that not only is he crushing it on the activity side, but he's having fun doing it. That spirit of comeraderie and fun is exactly the type of mentality that ought to be held by our upper level Equites. I can think of noone that better embodies combination of experience and excitement that is the Equite ranks than Brujah.

I cannot say enough just how awesome it is to see Brujah excel in this new era of the Brotherhood. As Consul, It is always an honor and a privilege to be able to promote a member for all their hard work, but this one feels special to watch. I am so excited to be a witness to his return to Clan Scholae Palatinae. It is with great honor that I congratulate Brujah on promotion to Equite 3. Keep up the excellent work! Drinks are on you!

Our very own Vincent Brujah has been a whirlwind of activity since he returned to the Clan 2 months ago. He's frequently chatting on discord with other members not only in CSP but across the Brotherhood at large, making an impact and showing he can integrate with others easily. It's been wonderful to see my email inbox explode with the amount of activity he's accomplished since his return. He's been tearing through the Shadow Academy like no other, 50 courses and 11 degrees. That's astonishing and more than earns some recognition. He's participated in almost 100 competitions earning multiple crescents, ranked up 16 times in various societies across the board, earned a sapphire blade, and even started writing both in fictions and the ACC. It's such an honor to see a former DCM in action. It's always a privilege to see a member, new or old, simply having fun in the Brotherhood. For all you have given, it's now time that we give back in the form of a well-earned promotion. Congratulations Brujah! Drinks and fire are yours this day!
