In January 2018, he joined the [[Honorary Consular Corps]] as a representative to the New England region and was granted the peerage title Baron of Swan, a title named for [[Mount Swan]].<br /> <br /> He quickly distinguished himself as a diplomat and was subsequently raised to the rank of Consul-General to New England.<br /> <br /> Along with the [[Count of Dorchuck]], he was instrumental in forming the Westarctica Ice Krakens, the country's national hockey team.<br /> <br /> His Grace attended [[Westarctica's 20th Anniversary Celebration]] where he was awarded a knighthood as Knight Commander in the [[Order of the Snowflake]] as part of the [[20th Anniversary Honors and Appointments]].<br /> <br /> ===Service with Royal Guards===<br /> [[File:Parachute Team.jpg|350px|thumb|Colonel MacLeod (left) preparing to jump with the Parachute Regiment]]<br /> After being inducted into the [[Westarctican Royal Guards]] with the rank of major, MacLeod created the Westarctican Parachute Regiment, a group of guardsmen who perform aerial jumps wearing Westarctican uniforms and [[Flag of Westarctica|flags]]. In this capacity, he has recruited numerous citizens and nobles into Westarctica.<br /> <br /> In recognition of his recruitment efforts and leadership over the Parachute Regiment, MacLeod was promoted to the rank of colonel and appointed Captain of the Guards, a post in the [[Royal Household of Grand Duke Travis]] giving him authority over the entire Westarctican Royal Guard forces. These appointments were made at [[MicroCon 2025]].<br /> <br /> ==Titles==<br /> In 2018, he was granted the title Baron of Swan, a title named for [[Mount Swan]].<br /> <br /> Upon the [[1st Duke of Goldstream]]'s passing, his titles Viscount Grier and Duke of Goldstream were placed in [[abeyance]] for lack of a suitable legal heir. On 2 November 2023, as part of the Anniversary Honors, [[Grand Duke Travis]] bestowed these titles upon two members of Westarctica's diplomatic staff who were especially close with the duke. Sterling MacLeod became the 2nd Duke of Goldstream.<br /> <br /> In 2022, as part of the unification of [[Kolios]] and [[Westarctica]], he was granted the title Baron von Inningen in the [[Nobility of Kolios]] in the [[Honors List for the Accession of Prince Garibald]].<br /> <br /> ==Awards and honors==<br /> * {{flagiconstart|Flag of Westarctica.jpg}} Knight Grand Commander in the [[Order of the Snowflake]], 2025<br /> * {{flagiconstart|Flag of Westarctica.jpg}} Knight Commander in the [[Order of the Snowflake]], 2021<br /> <br /> <br /> [[Category:People]]<br /> [[Category:Dukes]]<br /> [[Category:Peerage of Westarctica]]<br /> [[Category:Featured Articles]]</div>
