It is my honor to recommend Furios for the Ruby Scepter, in recognition of a period of service marked by exceptional leadership, sustained organizational commitment, and an extraordinary breadth of activity across nearly every pillar of the Brotherhood.

Over this award period, Furios has demonstrated a rare combination of initiative and follow-through, organizing 22 activities and co-organizing an additional 41. This level of direct administrative engagement reflects not only reliability, but a willingness to shoulder the often unseen workload that keeps the club active and healthy. His service as Aedile and later Quaestor further underscores this commitment. Furios was the primary driver of both our recent Wiki Project Phase 1 revamp of our lore as well as Operation Zerek. For the former, he averaged roughly half of the work across the Hyperdyne Systems Interstellar, Azorian Citadel, Ice Station Zerek, Cilix, Confederacy of the Outer Reaches, and House Ventress articles. He also served as the main overseer of the project, coordinating the efforts of three other project members while providing initial review and feedback before the articles were submitted to me for final approval.

For Operation Zerek, he coordinated all Clan Summit members at both the House and Battleteam levels to execute the event. In essence, he took point on running the operation in much the same manner a Consul would for a major Clan event. This was in addition to his day-to-day duties as a Summit member, where he consistently focused on member engagement and support. He also continued what has become a Plagueis tradition with our vacation competitions, this time delivering the Vacation on Hoth event in 2025. His five news posts, split between position reports and major event updates, further demonstrate a willingness to communicate, document, and elevate the accomplishments of others—an often underappreciated but vital form of service.

Beyond leadership, Furios’s personal activity level is nothing short of remarkable. With 217 participations and 116 gaming activities, he has been a constant and enthusiastic presence across competitive and social spaces alike. His engagement with the Antei Combat Center, completion of ACC battles, and steady gaming output reinforce a sustained commitment to the Brotherhood’s core interactive offerings. Furios has also made significant creative contributions, producing over 22,000 words across regular fiction and roleplaying activities. Complementing this are 15 fiction activities outside the ACC and consistent roleplaying participation, highlighting a member who contributes meaningfully rather than sporadically.

Academically and structurally, Furios continues to invest in the long-term strength of the Brotherhood. With 12 Shadow Academy courses passed, 4 degrees earned, and affiliation across multiple societies—including the Shroud Syndicate and Envoy Corps—he exemplifies well-rounded engagement.

Taken together, Furios’s record reflects sustained excellence, broad impact, and selfless leadership. His contributions extend well beyond any single role or activity type, touching organization, participation, creativity, and mentorship alike. This level of service is fully in keeping with the standards of the Ruby Scepter, and I can think of few more deserving recipients.
