Severon has served with distinction as the first Battle Team Leader of House Reinthaler. During his month in the position, he has built up a fictional background for his unit, which is easily visible in the ongoing work he puts into the Black Phoenix DBwiki article. Competitions are also in the works. To date, Severon has served as my most active summit team member, constantly reviewing my ideas as well as adding his own to House development. It is with great pleasure and satisfaction that I recommend he join the ranks of the Brotherhood equites.

Quaestor of House Reinthaler
Severon has served in a few leadership positions to date, most notably taking on the role of Aedile in House Gladius shortly after his promotion to Dark Jedi Knight. He cheerfully took on the burden of maintaining Gladius' activity records when he became its Rollmaster, and continued that duty throughout his tenure as Aedile. He executed both offices with honor and integrity, freeing me to tackle the more long term strategic problems with the House as Quaestor. He dealt with all Gladians fairly and honestly, always attempting to resolve disputes to the best advantage of all involved. At the close of House Gladius he stood proudly alongside me as a respected leader of a strong House, having been instrumental in its reconstruction after GJW 9.
In addition to maintaining activity records, Severon has direct experience in growing the activity level in a House through running competitions and establishing direct communication with all members. He is not afraid of hard or tedious work: if it is necessary to personally email every member of the House to check in, he will cheerfully complete the task and he will excel at it.
What you have in Severon Vercingetorix is someone who consistently and selflessly strives for the best. He works without any ulterior motives and without ego or drama. He understands that respect must be earned through hard work and maintained with continued hard work. He understands how Clan Tarentum operates, and he will do everything in his power to bring honor to his House and his Clan. I am honored to have had him as my Aedile in House Gladius, and equally as honored to recommend him for elevation into the Equites.

Quaestor of House Kaerner
Dedicated. If there was one word I had to use to describe Severon, it'd be that word. In my growing time in the DB I've seen all sorts of people involved in this organization, and the sad truth of the matter is that the majority of people are just out for their own. At times, more than anything else, the thing the gets me down is this simple fact as promotions and awards become the end all and be all of activity. Fortunately, the setup of the DB usually does well to ween these people out from our top positions and roles and individuals who are dedicated to the club rather than their dossier are the ones that do extremely well here. That is the case for Severon.
When I was approached for a recommendation for Severon, the first thing I looked at (as I always do) is the time spent in their current rank. Originally, when I noticed how short Severon has been a DJK in comparison to others, I was hestiate to provide one. Yet, the reason why I am is because the most important factor to look at is the activity due during that time. Severon has easily done more for Gladius, Reinthaler, and this clan than anyone else currently in the DJK rank (and more than most in the ranks above this). That is why I've agreed to provide this recommendation. Since his last promotion, Severon has worked as both RM and AED to Gladius; where his performances were some of the most effective activities in beefing up the house before its closure. Throughout his time as Aedile, Severon was THE figure to get the ball rolling on things; always wanting Scion and I to keep up with his level of activity (which is extremely hard to do). Like a ping-pong ball bouncing between two asian pong players on crack, Severon was all over the place for Gladius insuring that it stayed afloat. In the RoS, this attitude kept on as Severon not only used his position to promote the event but lead through his example to have others participate; and I can say that this is why our performance was better than before - his challenge as a competitor made others like myself increase our participation in the event. This alway has carried one since, as Severon remains one of the most active Tarenti in competitions for his house and clan. Recognized for both of this, his dossier has collected crescents for his activity and even a AC for his commitment during the RoS.
However, the man's activity in Gladius isn't where this recommendation should stop. Since the house's closure and the opening of the new houses, Severon has done well for his BT as it's commander leading the fiction BT for his house and working closely with myself on a variety of projects. Always willing to lend a hand, Severon is the sole person I can count on in Tarentum to always be willing to help out where help is needed and is the first to answer such calls. As a thanks for his dedication and his activity, I respectfully recommend Severon to be bumped up into the Equite class.

Rollmaster of Fiction of Clan Tarentum
My goodness, where to start with Severon? I knew Severon as far back as when I was a Guardian in Tarentum, serving as the Obelisk Sergeant of Arcano Signum (which was a battle team within the former house Gladius). He was a member of my unit back then, and I remember a certain competition I ran asking the members what the true dangerous part of a lightsaber was. While I got some seemingly obvious answers (like the energy blade, though I consider the handle to be the most dangerous part of a lightsaber), Severon took a completely different route, writing that the wielder was the most dangerous part and taking the question as a question of symbolism. Needless to say, this would pave the way for the kind of member, and leader, that Severon would become.
The days of Arcano Signum have long passed, and now Severon has served as both Aedile of House Gladius and BTL of Black Phoenix within House Reinthaler since his promotion to Dark Jedi Knight. He has earned merit medals for his RoS work, and his fictional contributions and wiki contributions are especially plain to see since he began his leader work. Severon's tenure as Aedile was brief, mostly due to the changes of houses, and he very nearly did not receive a quick second chance to lead. However, we soon regarded him to be worthy of at least a BTL position, and he settled into it beautifully, crafting a very efficient, creatively intriguing battle team with an already rich background and growing history.
Many promotion recommendations, especially ones I have written recently, sometimes do not say enough about the person being promoted and end up replacing it with points about their deeds, their work, and their outward effort. Severon, however, is a person who cannot be completely separated from his work. There is a bit of his personality in his fiction, a bit of his amazing energy and optimism. He not only is willing to help out the house summits and clan summits - he wishes to help them. I have received so many "So what I can do?" 's from this guy that I haven't been able to satisfy all of his requests because I haven't had that much extra work to be covered. In the light of Project Fisting and the new houses' growth, however, help has never been needed more, and Severon has jumped into the fray with as much determination as General Robert E. Lee while fighting in the Civil War (I thought he'd appreciate that historical reference).
What Severon surpasses many in is his availability and his presence. I have never seen e-mails or messages responded to so quickly until Sev came around. It seems that whenever I need a helping hand, he's there, and he doesn't linger on any given task. He does it, I help him fix it, he finalizes it. Bam. It's done. You have no idea how hard it is to find a member with that much energy to get a job done quickly and efficiently, especially a member who is so willing to improve on his own craft such as his writing ability and his leadership skills.
Severon, you amaze me. This promotion to Sith Warrior only seems like a small token to you compared to the work you've done for me, and the friendship that has grown from our team efforts. I see many opportunities for you in your future career, and while you along with others of your rank still have much to learn, it is all part of the experience. Thank you, my friend; we could sure do with some more members like you in Tarentum.
