To whom it may concern: Over the last two years Arch has shown great dedication to his unit, excellent personal contributions, and displayed his leadership abilities. Over this period of time, Arch has served as the Rollmaster and as the Aedile, both for an extended period of time. Additionally, Arch has served as M:FIST, as a Professor in the Shadow Academy, and he was on the Wiki staff. Clearly, the man has put in some work. He has tripled the amount of CFs he had, as a result of playing lots of ToR. Not only that, he has participated in a huge number of competitions, placing in many of them. He’s earned a substantial number of high level crescents, tons of CFs, Pendants of Blood, Dark Crosses, Novae, and engaged in general kickassery. He’s worked on a metric ton of wiki stuff, including the rework of the HSP Legions and Fleet, among many others. When there are wiki events in vendetta’s and feuds, Arch is there kicking ass for us. His presence helps to keep people charged. Furthermore, he has completed his Dark Savant and, just recently, Dark Sage degrees from the SA. Futhermore, Archangel helped lead Reman to DJK. His role in the leadership of Scholae Palatinae was pivotal. Furthermore, his presence in times of war is a boon to the house and encourages us all to try a little bit harder. I could go on and on, but just take a moment and look at his dossier. He has clearly earned this Sapphire Blade. Congratulations, Arch. Keep up the hard work. SWL Thran Occasus

From day one in House Scholae Palatinae, Archangel has honestly been the main person to push me through. Challenging and never settling, as Aedile (and he was RM during my time here too) he pushed everyone to be the best they can. From my noobiest attempts, to things that are written, Archangel is quick to acknowledge the attempt and effort. If it needed help, he's there to tell you some ideas. A good leader, motivator and helpful, Arch is one of the strongest members of our house. The thing I like about Arch is that he will get in there and do it with you not just hand you something to do and be like "do it". From working on wiki articles with Archangel to working with him in the house summit, Arch is an excellent writer and mentor to all members. Arch, aside from being a long serving Aedile, is also the professor of flight studies and has overhauled the course beautifully. He also is now serving as P:FIST and M:HRLD. For these reasons, and too many others to mention, I believe and recommend that Archangel be awarded with a Saphhire Blade.
For the Empire! Akatsuki Tamalar Rollmaster of Scholae Palatinae

Archangel. Former Aedile of House Scholae Palatinae, writing mentor for many, Professor of Flight Studies in the Shadow Academy, P:FIST, M:HRLD and honestly, too many more to list. Needless to say, Archangel is a man with many responsibilities. He doesn't let these tasks bog him down, and continuously pushes us, the members, to do the best in everything we do. Archangel is what you call a, very involved member. He's constantly delving into any and all activities within the House and around the Brotherhood, and has no problem with getting in the thick of it. He's consistently taking actions to improve the House as a whole, and honestly is one of our strongest members. Due to these achievements, and many more I can't list, I fully support the awarding of a Sapphire Blade. Xan Phraz-Etar Aedile of Scholae Palatinae

To whom it may concern: Archangel is one of the great members of Scholae Palatinae. I have known him for years and throughout that time, he has shown again and again what a stellar member he is. He constantly seeks to improve the house, the brotherhood and himself. Over the last few years he has served as both RM and AED of Scholae Palatinae. I can say with certainty that HSP would not be as well off as it is without the work and effort he has put in to these positions. Whether it be the long lasting project that expanded the Cocytus system, or rallying the house during vendettas and feuds, Archangel has always delivered. Within the last few months, he has been appointed to both P:FIST and M:HRLD, both of which allows him to branch out and effect the brotherhood at large. He also serves as PROF of Flight Studies. While all of these positions means that he had to step down as AED, it does not mean his work within the house has stopped. He was a very active participant in the CNS/HSP/PLA Feud that took place in the weeks before Horizons as well as in Horizons itself. He managed to participate in 16 events overall with a total score of 69, tying him for 3rd highest score in the house. This included a 1st place in the TOR Scavenger Hunt and Battleplan, as well as a 5th place in the Week 3 Graphics event. He also poked and prodded other members of the house to go out and do their best. This shows that even though he isn’t in the HSP Summit, he still takes an active role as one of the Equites of the house. His constant activity both in large events and out of them (Just look at all the CFs he has earned over the last several months.) shows the level of commitment we wish all members would have. There isn’t a way for me to accurately write down how thankful I am for his efforts here. I know that I personally would not have been able to make it as QUA if I didn’t have people like Arch supporting me along the way. As described on the Wikipedia page, the Sapphire Blade is is awarded to those who have “shown consistent and long-term service to their Clan or Brotherhood position”. Archangel has more than shown that consistent and long-term service and continues to do so every single day. For all of this I believe he has more than earned this Sapphire Blade. Congratulations Archangel. Xen'Mordin Vismorsus QUA of Scholae Palatinae

Archangel succeeded in being the the biggest and baddest of the Scholae Palatinae efforts in the Dark Crusade. He participated in 27 events, the greatest amounts of any one in the house, beating the next closest by 5 events. He also had one of the highest totals of Nova earned in Scholae Palatinae with 2 Gold, 3 Silver, and 4 Bronze.

Outside of his own ambitious efforts, Archangel also was a leader among the Scholae Palatinae efforts. He was a consistent member of the Special Forces team. He kept a watchful eye on the Wikipedia Event as the resident wiki know it all. He made sure our Battleplan submissions were in line and of the best quality possible. He led and focused our Alien Swarm team making sure we knew what we were doing (leading to a first place win for our team). He offered his proofreading skills to anyone who needed them in the house. When ever anyone, HSPer or not, needed help with gaming he was there to give advice.

Pretty much, Arch has been boss throughout this entire year long Vendetta. Scholae Palatinae would most definitely never have done as well as it did without him. By way of thanks for his above and beyond efforts in the crusade, I recommend he be awarded this Sapphire Blade. Thank you so much Arch.
