Ones who serve selflessly and are easily visibly taking upon themselves the role WITHOUT recognition or drawing attention to themselves for their service. Ones who are acting like an elder even though they were not ordained an elder as of yet.

It makes perfect sense. An example to further reinforce this point:

An Ansteorran Knight from the distant past once taught a class entitled, "How to be a Knight".

Many people took that class.

I will now teach the class.

"To be a Knight, you must be a Knight.
If you are not a Knight, then you will never become a Knight."

End of class. There will not be a test.
