Primary reason

Epis Locke Sonjie remains one of the foundational pillars of Clan Naga Sadow. Over the course of his career, he has repeatedly stepped into leadership roles without hesitation, embracing the responsibility and pressure that come with them. During this reporting period alone, he participated in 30 competitions, continuing to contribute meaningfully to Clan activity. He has also earned one Bronze Nova, eleven Crescents, two hundred nine Clusters and a Seal of Loyalty. Clear evidence that his steady involvement continues to produce tangible results for the Clan.

Beyond raw activity, Locke’s value to CNS is amplified by the depth of his expertise. A former Quaestor of House Marka Ragnos, he remains one of the Summit’s trusted “Fleet Advisory Chairs,” where his extensive knowledge of starships consistently helps guide CNS toward the platforms that best support our operational needs. His insight has repeatedly proven both practical and forward-thinking, making him an indispensable resource whenever fleet planning or ship design discussions arise. And yes, while I say this somewhat in jest, he remains a true “Hero of the Storm”; his skill and enthusiasm for Heroes of the Storm are well known, even if some of us can only watch in frustration.

Even outside formal leadership, Locke’s voice carries well-earned weight throughout the Clan. He is one of our Sons of Sadow whose counsel is regularly sought by the Summit and membership alike. His willingness to answer questions, share institutional knowledge and help newer members navigate both CNS and the broader Brotherhood reflects a quiet but enduring dedication to the Clan’s health. Simply put, Epis Locke Sonjie continues to lead by example and his sustained contributions during this period merit clear recognition. Congratulations Sir!

Additional reasons

Locke has been busy lately. His counsel often comes at things sideways, the logic sound and needed. His participation helps to encourage others to do more, dragging some out of their comfort zone to try other things. He even convinced an old dog like me to try some of his favored games. His behind the scenes discussions on things with regard to fleet structure and composition sometimes go well over my head, but I am grateful to have such subject matter experts within the clan to rely upon. As I mentioned, Locke has been more busy in real life as of late, and as a result his absence has been sorely missed. I feel that we are well overdue with awarding the man his due and proper, and I am grateful for the opportunity to thank him for his efforts. Thank you for all you have done, Locke. Please accept this as a token of our gratitude and esteem.
