Level V is considered a master of the principles of Loricism, having spent years practicing and working toward self-mastery. The Princeps (leader) can certify up to Peritum, and can expect to spend around 2-3 years as a Princeps before being promoted to Praeceptor.
Level V practitioners can be considered highly proficient in self-control, confidence, awareness, and communication. The color for this rank is brown, and students are typically awarded a brown shirt or lapel pin for Level V. The pin for Princeps has the virtues Discipline and Reflection on it.
