Ji was the first awarded the title of Councillor of Urr, and rightly so. He was one of the founders of the House in 2010, the first Quaestor and the one that started turning the wheels that led to Clan Odan-Urr in 2015. After House Satele Shan was formed, he took up the Quaestor's seat again, this time aiming to see his new House grow and develop. He has led House Odan-Urr through the Tenth Great Jedi War and has influenced Clan lore immensely, from its inception until today, and further. Much of what we take for granted, such as our military forces, we have today because of Ji.

A great influence on Clan lore with The Varonat Crisis and Liberation: Tides of freedom events, V'yr has turned a generic Battleteam system into a fun and engaging narrative everyone can participate in. Apart from Battleteam Leader he has held the positions of Rollmaster and Proconsul of Clan Odan-Urr.

Mar Sûl has been one of Odan-Urr's most prolific members since January 20th, 2012. Being one of the fastest to attain Knighthood, he has never wavered in his duties as a member.

House Hoth and the Clan simply would not be what they are today without Edgar. Additionally, he personally recruited four members to the Clan and mentored five to Knight. Edgar has also made an impact on the larger club's gaming community, both as one of the club's most prolific gamers and Praetor to the Fist.

Title awarded on: June 30th 2019. (37 ABY)
Len Iode has been with us since 2015, and has spent the vast majority of that in service to the clan in one thankless summit position or another. As someone who joined COU just a week or two before him, I can say there was no point where I couldn't rely on Len in some capacity or another. He's served as a BTL, an AED, and for the past year as our RM. All he's ever asked for is the chance to do his part to make COU a better place. And he's done that, in times of calm and in times where his offline life consisted mostly of sleep deprivation, commuting, and stress. Let no one call him a fairweather friend, and let no one doubt his commitment to the ideals that serve as the foundation of the clan.
Title awarded on: November 11th 2020. (38 ABY)
Aura Ta'var, our previous Consul, served the longest single summit tour of Odan-Urr's history. This began with her time as Rollmaster in 2017, when her community development efforts convinced many skeptics that the position was valuable to the clan. She's served as PCON and CON in good times and bad, including four vendettas. She's overseen the consolidation of Hoth and Satele Shan into Sunrider and rebuilt the clan after several members left for opportunities elsewhere. As a competitor, she was Third Heroine in GJWXII, has earned full participation in four consecutive vendettas, and repeatedly taken novae in both gaming and fiction. She has mentored two members to the rank of Jedi Knight. Her work ethic and commitment to Odan-Urr are unparalleled.
Title awarded on: December 9th 2021. (39 ABY)
Revak Kur, an Odanite who has touched the minds and hearts of Odan-Urr, has served Odan-Urr admirably from Battleteam Leader all the way to Consul. He successfully implemented the vision of House Sunrider, a key initiative for rebuilding the Clan’s strength. As Proconsul, he helped implement the first Clan vs. Clan Vendetta that Odan-Urr has had in many years. He mentored two members to the rank of Jedi Knight, one of which is already serving in a Clan leadership position. Lastly, he has been an absolute rockstar as both hoster and supporter of community events, creating that magic that keeps our Clans and club moving forward. Plenty of people talk but few do. His work ethic, determination, and reliability are exemplary.
Title awarded on: November 24th 2022. (40 ABY)
Essik Lyccane, at the time of voting, has over a year of leadership in COU, serving as Aedile of Houses Hoth, Sunrider, and the Guardian Corps, then later as Questor. He is one of our most gifted writers and is always present for day-to-day operations and large-scale events. Essik leads by example. Demonstrating a "community-first" mindset, he works to encourage activity and teamwork while being there to support and care for his fellow Clanmates. Essik's most notable contribution is his immense effort in squaring up the Clan's wiki pages. Between making helpful edits to Clan and character pages, creating links to new pages, updating staff and possession changes, and suggesting how to bring it all together, Essik's constant vigilance and attention to detail show his unwavering service to the Clan even when it is not a duty of his to do so. It is for his work ethic, support, and commitment to Odan-Urr and its values that Essik Lyccane stands with us today.

Title awarded on: November 25th 2016. (34 ABY)
Turel Sorenn has served Odan-Urr as a lead member, winning many competitions and always participating heavily in every event and vendetta he possibly can as well as showing his grit in the ACC as its Champion. Furthermore, he has served as a leader in the Clan in multiple positions, serving as a Battle-team leader of Knights of Allusis, Proconsul of Odan-Urr and Consul. During this time he has shown himself to be well loved throughout the Brotherhood, let alone Clan Odan-Urr and has been a driving force for the Clan lore and events for well over a year. Turel is an excellent example to all members regarding what one can achieve when one's mind is put to a task.
Title awarded on: June 6th 2018. (36 ABY)
Xirini Kurai, better known as Jack, has a long history in COU having served at various times as Aedile of House Odan-Urr, Aedile of Hoth and Battleteam Leader of the Knights of Allusis. His biggest contribution to the Clan, however, has been the direct impact he has had over the years providing one on one mentorship to a parade of members which includes multiple generations of Odanite leaders. There are few prominent clan members he hasn’t mentored in some way. Leadership is about more than position and Jack embodies that. He invests great deals of time into other members, not because it’s his job or because it’s going to get him the spotlight, he does it because under that grumpy exterior he really does care about the members.
Title awarded on: November 12th 2015. (33 ABY)
Nathan Deciarus, having served as Rollmaster for two terms, Battle Team Leader of Strike Team Ooroo, Battle Team Leader of the Disciples of Baas, Aedile of Odan-Urr and Quaestor of Hoth remains one of Odan-Urr's most decorated members.
