Ra’gnar is much like the iceberg of Plagueis to those that aren’t paying close enough attention to their emails: The majority of what he does can easily be overlooked as you instead see just what’s above the surface of the water. In the last ten months since his promotion in July, however, he has been one of the most active members of Clan Plagueis (perhaps even the Brotherhood) while also contributing in a leadership capacity as well.

On the activity front, Ra’gnar has participated in a staggering 93 competitions since his last promotion, averaging nearly 10 competitions per month. Included within that total were his entries in our Restoration: Ascendant house feud (where he placed fourth overall), our Forged Alliances event with Clan Tarentum, and our recent Between Dark and Light feud against Clan Odan-Urr (where he entered 6 of the 11 events). That level of competition show that Ra’ngar always shows up when it matters most for his Clan when it comes to feuds. He didn’t just enter competitions, though, he also performed quite well in them on his way to netting 37 crescents for his efforts (1 diamond, 9 ruby, 12 amethyst, 12 sapphire, 2 emerald, and 1 topaz). An avid gamer, he has also amassed 972 clusters of fire, 30 clusters of earth, and 1 pendant of blood over the last ten months as well. Additionally, never one to let an opportunity pass him by, Ra’gnar even completed 11 shadow academy courses and earned his Maven of philosophy in an effort to continue his ongoing education, and also ventured into the realm of fiction activity to earn a pair of clusters of ice.

Outside of the realm of activity, Ra’gnar has provided great service to Clan Plagueis serving as leader of the Apostles of Syn battle team for the past five months. Our BTL’s in Plagueis are given a far more important task than in other clans, serving as guides for all the pre-Knight members of their Houses while working as subordinates to our Clan Rollmaster, and Ra’gnar acquitted himself well in this role. He made sure to engage directly with his members, both via telegram and with weekly check in emails. He helped them find activities that they would enjoy while helping them along on their road to Knighthood. As requested by our Clan Summit, he also forwarded his contribution (usually a paragraph or two) to our Rollmaster for their monthly reports. Finally, he uses his the influence he’d gained as part of the leadership team to great effect during our recent COU-PLA feud, helping galvanize House Karness Muur to 54 total entries across the event, cheering people on to get their entries in.

Over the last ten months, Ra’gnar has earned an Anteian and Dark cross for his contributions to our Clan as well as the thanks and respect of our summit. He has made the clan a better place for his service to it and his presence within it, demonstrating through word and deed how to be the best member one can be. It is my great honor as a result to put him forward for promotion to the rank of Equite 2 with the thanks of a grateful clan.

A hive of activity and relentless in his pursuit to better the DJB for himself and others, Ra'gnar is well deserving of this elevation to Battlemaster. His accomplishments and his helpful nature go a long way to show that he is a member who enjoys his time in the club, desires to make it better for everyone and has no fear of a little work to make it happen. Well done Ra'gnar! Oh, and where are MY fish?

Ra'gnar, before I even rejoined this great Brotherhood, you were at the forefront of spurring activity and morale among the members of your former Battleteam and even the entirety of Clan Plagueis. Your presence and words of encouragement, as well as leading by example during competitions and other events was the mark of a veteran member of this community.

Along with your countless other activities across the Brotherhood, your combined wisdom, insight and experience in all matters DJB make you more than qualified and well deserved of this promotion. Congratulations, Ra'gnar, and thanks for all the fish.
