Alaris Jinn: The Person, The Myth, The Legend. And now, The Even Older. If reaching the rank of Elder is the mark of someone that has worked to reach the upper echelons of the Dark Brotherhood, the second elder rank is even more of a mark of honor: Those that reach this level have demonstrated that reaching the mountain top is not enough. The image of the Elders of the Brotherhood sitting back and standing on their laurels is one that is a will trodden trope of the Brotherhood, and those that keep pushing above that level even after they ascend prove that they want to continue contributing even beyond that initial goal they set, a goal that many others see as their final one.

I could outline the various numbers that add up to the 167,500 XP that Alaris has earned to cross the gulf from the first to the second of the elder ranks, but that feels like it would somehow cheapen the achievement. If one wants to see counting stats, I'd invite them to read the voluminous recommendations for the Emerald Dagger and two Amethyest Kukris that Alaris has been awarded since their last elevation. The numbers do not lie. Massive amounts of general activity, leadership contributions to both Clan Plagueis and the Brotherhood as a whole. Invaluable contributions and input within the Chamber of Justice. The most dominant First Hero performance the Brotherhood has ever seen during a Vendetta. On and on. It is no exaggeration to state that the Brotherhood would be a different place today without the contributions that Alaris has made over their tenure.

It is, I think, the mark of one that has truly made contributing to the Brotherhood their goal to see Alaris where they stand today. They were one of the members who served as the exemplar of the fight to break the Elder glass ceiling. The fact that it took them just a hair shy of nine years to smash that ceiling is almost criminal, but the fact that they also continued to persevere over the just over three years since to reach what is still the "harder" elevation to manage says all about Alaris' character that needs saying. They spent the better part of a decade being weighted, measured, and found wanting by the Brotherhood, and yet they still strove to serve and contribute. When their goal was finally reached, they continued to serve and contribute all the more. There is no one who has given more blood, sweat, and, dare I say, tears in service of the Brotherhood than Alaris. None who deserve this honor more.

At times in the past, Alaris and I have found ourselves on the opposite sides of the issues or conflicts, often by circumstance. It is critical to understand, however, that we have never been on the opposite side of the one true goal: doing what's right for the Brotherhood. I have wrote many award and promotion recommendations in my many years in this club, but none bring me more satisfaction to stamp my name on than this one. Thank you, Alaris, for having the determination and persistence to allow me the honor of being the one to write this recommendation for you. Your clan, your club, and especially your Consul are all grateful for your Service To The Brotherhood.

It’s been nearly a year since Ahathr’iss’asapla (henceforth referred to as Thrissa because it’s easier for me to spell correctly) rocketed his way into the DB and found his way to Plagueis, quickly carving out a spot for himself in the clan and making a splash in the larger community. While the site tells us that he has enough xp for a promotion, it doesn’t tell us a whole lot about who Thrissa is as a member. I guess that’s up to me!

So what can I say about Thrissa that could accurately describe the impact that he has had on both the clan and the club? I could mention the 21 competitions he’s participated in, or the 7 placements since his last promotion, but Slags already covered that when awarding Thrissa a Steel Cross mere days ago. That’s right, Thrissa has been working so hard that this promotion comes hot on the heels of a medal!! I could talk about Thrissa’s willingness to attempt new things and try out Roleplaying within the club for the first time earning his first rank in the Envoy Corps. I could also talk about Thrissa’s thirst for knowledge that led to him completing a whole pile of shadow academy courses and earning a handful of degrees, or the staggering amount of courses graded as Magistrate to the Headmaster, but that’s been covered in great detail already.

On a more personal note, in the time since Thrissa has joined us I have had the pleasure of getting to know him better and I’ve learnt that Thrissa is an extremely passionate member, diving headfirst into learning more about the clan and the club, he is always willing to ask questions, listen to reasoning and ready to learn as much as he can. He has become a staple of Plag, always there to show up and help his team in major events like our most recent Pro Bowl where he made a commendable effort in helping the Rotworms. He has taken the time to interact with and get to know his fellow members, forging connections and helping the community to thrive. Thrissa has quickly become a member that I am proud to not only call a clan mate, but also a friend. It is a great honour that I can be the one to write this and welcome Thrissa into the ranks of Equite, this is a huge step in the brotherhood and one that Thrissa is well deserving of. Congratulations Thrissa, I know that there will be many more of these to come, so keep shooting for the stars!
