Originally published [[https://www.fanfiction.net/s/12057518/1/Blood-and-Honor here]], with an updated version [[http://archiveofourown.org/works/7942558/chapters/18157078 here]], it details the rise to power of a Pureblood Sith named Sanguis, dealing with temptation, treachery and bad Twi'lek humor along the way. It also addresses Vette's search for her long lost family and Quinn's struggles to reconcile love and duty. Jaesa Willsaam, a Jedi Padawan, eventually comes along with her own part to play.

* ReluctantWarrior:
* SkilledButNaive:

* BloodKnight: Prone to this outlook, even when played relatively light-side.
* BlueBlood: The warrior is a scion of some Sith bloodline, which is why Tremel favours them over Vemrin.
* TheBrute: How other characters, especially rival Sith, tend to regard the Sith Warrior. When you first join Lord Baras, he actually spells this out as your job.
--> '''Darth Baras''': You are my enforcer; deployed to protect my interests, intimidate my rivals and silence my enemies.
* BullyingADragon: Vemrin on Korriban, Draako Baal on Dromund Kaas, a certain arrogant Alderaanian nobleman; all-in-all there are a lot of people in the galaxy who seem to think it is a good idea to piss off a lightsaber-wielding BloodKnight. Needless to say, most of them don't tend to survive the experience.
* CloseRangeCombatant: With the exceptions of [[ThrowingYourSwordAlwaysWorks lightsaber-throwing]] and [[MakeMeWannaShout scream]] attacks, the Warrior needs to get to point-blank range to fight. [[InASingleBound Force Charge]] allows you to close the distance rapidly.
* ComedicSociopathy: Shows up a lot in conversations with Vette when she is wearing her slave shock collar.
* CoolBigSis: To Vette, if the female Warrior is on good terms with her. Vette notes that she tends to seek out women to fill that role in her life. [[spoiler:Risha]], Taunt and, most recently, the Warrior.
* TheCorrupter: Light or Dark, you do a number on Jaesa's friends, family and mentor, [[spoiler: either killing her parents or forcing them to defect to the Empire; killing Yonlach or humiliating him and making him reconsider his beliefs in the Jedi cause and the evil of the Sith]] and eventually [[spoiler: torturing Nomen Karr or causing him to call upon the dark side, which convinces Jaesa to leave the Jedi Order because of their hypocrisy or because EvilIsCool.]]
* CruelMercy: Like [[Franchise/MassEffect Paragon Commander Shepard]], the Light Side Warrior doesn't kill their most despicable enemies - they leave them to suffer the consequences of their faults for the rest of their lives. Especially at the end of Chapter One, where [[spoiler: you trigger Nomen Karr's embrace of darkness, destroy all he's ever hoped to accomplish, revealed how horrible of a person he is to his apprentice, recruit her by being a much better person then him, and to top it all off send him back to the Jedi Order so they can know how far he has fallen.]]
* DarkIsNotEvil: You can play a Light Side Sith Warrior. Their recruitment path for Jaesa gives a nice description of it.
--> '''Jaesa''': Your actions reflect only light. You appear to be an agent of the Dark Side, but it is [[BeneathTheMask only a mask]]. Master Karr also wears a mask, but his deception is a much ''[[LightIsNotGood uglier]]'' one.
* DeadpanSnarker: Can become quite the wisecracker, should you desire.
** GentlemanSnarker: Light Side Warriors in particular come across as unfailingly polite, even whilst hurling insults.
* DeflectorShield: Juggernauts can equip a personal shield generator for tanking purposes.
* TheDragon: Is effectively this to Darth Baras. [[spoiler:After Baras betrays you, the Warrior becomes this to the Emperor.]]
** DragonWithAnAgenda: If you so choose, which is more than likely.
** NobleTopEnforcer: The Light Side Warrior tends to come across as this.
** CoDragons: [[spoiler:Briefly with Lord Draahg to Darth Baras since the end of Chapter 2, until Baras and Draahg betray the Warrior at the beginning of Chapter 3.]]
** DragonAscendant: [[spoiler:Act three ends with you killing or exiling Baras and becoming the second most powerful person in the Empire.]]
* TheDreaded: You become this as you advance through the story, with several plot important characters having OhCrap moments when they see you.
* DualWielding: A specialty of the Marauder advanced class.
* EnemyMine: You end up working with a Jedi on the Belsavis quest chain (whether or not he survives the experience is up to you). You can also potentially end up fighting for an Organan General against House Ulgo troops on Alderaan in exchange for the general supplying you with information you need, and on Nar Shadda you can convince a bunch of Republic soldiers to help you with your fight with Lord Rathari.
* EstablishingCharacterMoment: The light side choices when transporting a prisoner from the hanger in Kaas City. You trick two different mercenary groups into blasting each other over your prisoner while your troops are sneaking away with the prisoner, and you [[PassThePopcorn sit back and watch the idiots do your work for you]]. Alternatively, you can [[HeroicComedicSociopath scare them off by threatening to kill and eat them.]]
** If you go with the later option, you can later claim that [[ImAHumanitarian you were not joking.]]
* EtTuBrute: Throughout the story you end up either killing, or destroying the career of:[[spoiler: Overseer Tremel, Darth Baras' master Darth Vengean, and later Baras himself. You also convince Jaesa to turn on Nomen Karr and Quinn turns against you under pressure from Baras.]]
* EvilSoundsDeep: Both male and female Sith Warriors speak in a deep voice, it depends on how evil you play the Warrior though.
* {{Expy}}: Of Darth Vader. Progress in a certain path and you'll be a full out DarthVaderClone.
** There is also a [[http://images1.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20101026214637/swtor/images/4/42/Juggernaut-screenshot01.jpg red armor]] that can make the Sith Warrior look similar to [[VideoGame/KnightsOfTheOldRepublic Darth Malak]].
** The Marauder Advanced Class is more like [[WesternAnimation/StarWarsTheCloneWars Asajj Ventress]]; as with Vader, you can easily make a near-clone of the original. Also Dark Side [[VideoGame/TheForceUnleashed Starkiller]].
* FingerPokeOfDoom: The Force Choke ability functions as this.
* FiveManBand: The Warrior and their companions:
** TheLeader: The Sith Warrior
** TheLancer: Jaesa Willsaam
** TheBigGuy: Lieutenant Pierce
** TheSmartGuy: Malavai Quinn
** TheChick: Vette
** TheSixthRanger: Broonmark
* {{Foil}}: To the Inquisitor's rival on Korriban, Ffon Althe. Like the Warrior, Ffon is the scion of a prominent Sith family who enjoys special treatment at the hands of a prejudiced overseer who deliberately rigs the various tests to help him succeed. Like a Dark Side Warrior, Ffon is quite proud and dismissive of his social inferiors, [[KickTheDog killing one with force lightning]] just to show off, and certainly has the raw power to back it up. However, unlike the Warrior, whose tests still ''test'' their abilities and whose skill and power are backed up with a strong work ethic and genuine bravery, Ffon is very lazy and never really improves as the result of his soft, easy "[[NoChallengeEqualsNoSatisfaction trials]]." [[spoiler: He's also rather cowardly: after failing his test and stealing the player's map to present to Darth Zash, he quickly crumbles under interrogation and pays with his life. By contrast, the Warrior remains cool and calm under pressure from Darth Baras's interrogation.]]
** Also, narratively, to the Jedi Knight, especially in chapter 3. [[spoiler:Both interact directly with the Emperor and his power base, the Jedi Knight tearing it down and the Wrath shoring it up against Baras; Sel Makor binds the Voice of the Emperor on Voss, requiring the Wrath to free him, while the Jedi Knight's light-side path is to destroy Sel Makor (in fact some dialogue suggests both only succeed because it's attention is divided between the two battles). Finally, the Wrath receives word from the Hand that the Emperor, "slain" by the Jedi Knight, is OnlyMostlyDead...]]
** And to the Consular, especially if played with opposing alignments. [[spoiler: In Chapter 1 of their stories, the Light Side Consular cures Jedi twisted to the dark side, while the Dark Side Warrior hunts down a Jedi and his Padawan and corrupts them. By the end of their stories, they both have special titles that mark them as unique among the order: the Warrior becomes the Emperor's Wrath while the Consular becomes the Barsen'thor of the Jedi Order.]]
** Very notably to the Inquisitor. The Warrior is a scion of a powerful Sith bloodline and was shown much favoritism upon entering the Academy, with only [[spoiler:Baras, their own master,]] being their real threat amongst the Sith. The Inquisitor was a lowly slave who was derided by everyone in the Academy and had to claw their way to the top of the Sith power ladder, with lots of opposition from other Sith. While the Warrior can display signs of cunning and intelligence, they are primarily a BloodKnight who prefers leaping into combat head-first; the Inquisitor is primarily a manipulator who'd rather stay out of the fray, either by flinging lightning or skulking in the shadows. [[spoiler:The best example is that, although they are on the same level of importance to the Empire, the Sith Warrior is the chief enforcer and executioner of the Leader of the Empire, while the Sith Inquisitor is one of the leaders of that governs the system.]]
* FreakyFashionMildMind: Any Light Side Warrior will at least have hints of this.
* GeniusBruiser: Again, if you so choose.
* GlorySeeker: Several dialogue options paint the Warrior as such.
* GoodIsNotSoft: The Light Side Warrior isn't afraid to carry out executions or cut down opponents.
* GuileHero: A Light Side Sith Warrior tends to come across as this, repeatedly TakingAThirdOption to avoid unnecessary bloodshed and [[ManipulativeBastard manipulating enemies]] to allow them to get the outcome that ''they'' want.
* HiddenDepths: Vette often comments that a light-side Sith Warrior is not what you'd expect him/her to be.
--> '''Warrior''': [[WarriorPoet Memories of the best times in life are treasures later in life.]]
--> '''Vette:''' (''Flabbergasted'') Who ''are'' you and what did you do with the ''[[BloodKnight Sith]]'' I know?
* HonourBeforeReason: Most dialogue options paint the Warrior this way, only seeking strong enemies in a sense of honour. It seems that the only difference between the Light and Dark Side Warrior, is the former believes there are still ''[[TheLawsAndCustomsOfWar rules]]'' that must be abided to.
* ImplacableMan: In story you are viewed as this (just ask Jaesa and Nomen Karr) and when playing as an Immortal Juggernaut you ''are'' this.
* ImAHumanitarian: You can threaten to eat the corpses of a handful of thugs at one point on Dromund Kaas. A follow up dialog choice is to tell your allies that you weren't joking.
* InTheBlood: The Warrior is heir to a great Sith Bloodline, a fact you remind people of several times in the game.
* InASingleBound: Force Charge.
* InvisibilityFlicker: Force Camouflage, a level 30 Marauder ability.
* TheJuggernaut: One of the advanced classes for the Sith Warrior is actually called this.
* KickTheDog: A definite option at times. One of the more prominent examples takes place on Alderaan. A House Organa general has information that you need, however, she refuses to tell you anything unless you help her. Instead, you can threaten to kill her officers one at a time until she talks. She calmly replies that they are soldiers who knew the risk when they signed up and still refuses to talk...but as soon as you start Force choking an officer, the general (who, according to her codex entry, [[OOCIsSeriousBusiness is famous for being a cold, calculating military commander]]) cracks, revealing that the officer you are choking is her lover. She immediately gives you the information that you want, all the while on her knees weeping and begging you to spare him. You have two dark-side options to kill either one of the two lovers, even though she had already given you what you wanted and there is no benefit for you to do so. [[UpToEleven And then, you can kill the other one.]]
* LadyOfWar: A female Sith Warrior, especially a light-side one, tends to come across as this.
* LegacyCharacter: In the third act the Warrior takes up the mantle of The Emperor's Wrath, which was previously occupied by Lord Scourge before he joined the Jedi Knight.
* LimitBreak: The Marauder advanced class has abilities that can only be activated after you get 30 stacks of the gauge.
* MagicKnight: Black Magic Knight, to be precise.
* MakeMeWannaShout: Several of the Warrior's abilities involve sound-related powers, most notably Force Scream.

** There are opportunities to be this, especially when it comes to Jaesa.
** Note that many of the light side choices are this. Mainly because you're looking for alternatives to bloodshed. This sometimes involves making people ''think'' you're about to eat them.
* MasterSwordsman: More than once, [=NPCs=] will refer to you as the Master of the Lightsaber.
* NobleDemon: The Light Side Sith Warrior.
* OneHandedZweihander: Wields a single lightsaber one-handed as opposed to the Jedi Knight who uses both hands when holding a single saber.
* PragmaticVillainy: How the Warrior will justify most light side options, wanting to avoid ''[[WhatASenselessWasteOfHumanLife unnecessary]]'' bloodshed.
* RageHelm: A couple of your helmets are this.
* ServileSnarker: The Warrior can be quite the smartass towards Baras during their interactions with one another yet still following his orders exactly as stated. He mostly puts up with it, but will tell you to stow it when he's really not in the mood.
* ShadowArchetype: To the Jedi Knight. Both Force-powered melee fighters. Both eventually become the most publicly recognizable face of their respective orders. Both their destinies are tied to the Emperor (one as his destined destroyer, one as his top enforcer). And especially when played Light-Side, both have a similar sense of honor, fair-play, and patriotism.
* SpikesOfVillainy: Some of your armors have large spikes on them.
* StalkerWithoutACrush: Towards Jaesa in Act One.
* TalkingYourWayOut: Yes, even this textbook example of a Blood Knight is capable of using this method.
* TerrorHero: When played light side, due to the combination of your typical armor look and your reputation.
* TheTease[=/=]{{Troll}}: Female Warriors can tell Quinn that the reason they flirt with him so much is because they love seeing him get flustered.
* {{Tsundere}}: The Female Warrior can be a Type A for Quinn. In the same conversation she can go from kissing him to aggressively propositioning him to haughtily saying she ''might'' do so again, if the mood strikes her.
* UncertainDoom: If the Warrior did not become the Outlander in ''Fallen Empire'', the codex states they disappeared sometime during the invasion.
* UngratefulBastard: Possible dialogue options when dealing with Darth Baras. Becoming his apprentice? Getting a ship? Being promoted to Sith Lord? "It took you long enough."
* UnstoppableRage: More-or-less the Sith Warrior's normal state of behavior.
* UnwittingPawn: [[spoiler: In the final act, countering Baras' power play and freeing the Emperor paves the way for the latter's final attempt to kill everyone in the galaxy. The Warrior doesn't even find out about this until much later.]]
* VillainProtagonist: Even as a Light Side Sith, you're still doing wetwork for some exceptionally despicable people. As a follower of the Dark Side, you're basically an AxCrazy brute.
* VillainTakesAnInterest: Baras and the Warrior's dealings with Jaesa in Act One. She's just a lowly padawan who has attracted the personal attention of her master's greatest enemy, who proceeds to send his apprentice to gather info on her while also systematically destroying her life if they wish.
* WarIsGlorious: Several dialogue options show that the warrior firmly believes this.
* WarriorPoet: For a BloodKnight, the Warrior comes across as surprisingly eloquent, with an exquisite vocabulary. For example, the Warrior's way to describe someone being arrogant is "[their] ego is overinflated". Then again, as a scion of an ancient and presumably wealthy Sith bloodline, they probably had an excellent mundane education in their adolescence.
* WorkHardPlayHard: Regardless of alignment, the Warrior can espouse this lifestyle, at one point directly stating that the Sith path is a tough one to follow, so the Warrior fights hard, works hard, and parties hard.
* YouHaveFailedMe: You'd better believe this comes up as an option now and then.

* AMatchMadeInStockholm: Romance option. However, you can avert this if you take off her shock collar the first time she asks you to and if you play Light Side; in that case, no coercion is required for the romance.
* AdventurerArchaeologist: Was looting a tomb on Korriban when she was captured. In ''Knights of the Fallen Empire'', she went back to being a tomb raider during the timeskip.
* BabiesEverAfter: Admits that she's getting ahead of herself with "the whole baby thing", but she'd still like to adopt some. She even plans to convert the medbay into a nursery and make Quinn the nanny.
* BattleCouple: With a male Sith Warrior, if romanced.
* {{BFG}}: In ''Fallen Empire'', she gets her hands on an Assault Cannon that [[ICallItVera she calls "Spewie"]] and provides cover fire with it.
* [[GreenSkinnedSpaceBabe Blue-Skinned Space Babe]]: Or green, red, or a lighter shade of blue thanks to customization items.
* BornIntoSlavery: She escaped, adventured, and was enslaved again. This time by ''[[FromBadToWorse Sith.]]'' (''Technically'' she was only arrested by the Sith, but given how Sith treat their prisoners there's not much difference--and then she's given like property to the Sith Warrior anyway.)
* BringItOn: One of her battle cries.
* ButtMonkey: This largely depends on what kind of master you are, though.
* DeadpanSnarker: Very much so. In fact a good way to score affection points with her is to have the Sith Warrior be the same to other Imperials. Avoid snarky lines that make the Warrior look bloodthirsty, though.
* {{Expy}}: Same species, default skin colour, personality and voice actress as Mission Vao from ''VideoGame/KnightsOfTheOldRepublic''.
** She could also potentially be seen as one of Eleena Daru if the Sith Warrior romances her; both are Twi'leks BornIntoSlavery who manage to escape, get recaptured, and end up [[SexSlave "rewarded"]] to a promising young Sith who eventually freed, fell in love with, and married them.
* GenkiGirl: [[spoiler:She'll actually {{Glomp}} the Warrior if he proposes to her.]]
* GettingCrapPastTheRadar: That the other Sith on Korriban think she'd make a fine SexSlave for the Warrior and that her sister Tiiva ''is'' engaged in forced prostitution are never said in as many words. This goes so far as to have the Warrior be nonchalant about ''buying'' Tiiva's freedom, when intimidating or killing her masters is reasonable.
* GoodIsNotSoft: She might be a chatterbox ray of sunshine in a nasty world who will let you know what she thinks of ForTheEvulz killings, but wholeheartedly approves of KickTheSonOfABitch moments. Ideally with snark.
* GunsAkimbo: Her preferred style. She can use blaster rifles as well, but considering she can't use any offhand besides a pistol and several abilities requiring two pistols, few players will ever see her diverging from this style.
* TheGunslinger: Her combat capabilities revolve around using twin blaster pistols to lay down a hail of energy fire.
* HappinessInSlavery: Depending on the player: she can become Type 1, Type 2, or a combination of both. If you take the collar off there's not really anything tying her to you other than her desire to stay, though, as demonstrated by one conversation you have with her. She mentions that she's tracked down her old gang, and you have the option of asking, "Are you thinking of going back to your old life?" She playfully responds, "What? Are you worried I'll leave you?"
* HugeGuyTinyGirl: Usually in a romance. Male Warriors tend to be walking refrigerators in complementary armor. Vette has the most petite body type in the game.
* ICantBelieveAGuyLikeYouWouldNoticeMe: Her reaction if a male Sith Warrior attempts to romance her.
* InterspeciesRomance: Usually and most commonly, since the player can't initially create a Twi'lek Sith Warrior. The game only lets you do that if you've already reached level 50 with another Twi'lek character on that server, or reach Legacy level five and then pay 1.5 million credits to unlock the species for all classes.
* KnownOnlyByTheirNickname: Probably; after all, "Vette" doesn't seem like a Twi'lek name. [[spoiler:Her real name is Ce'na.]]
* MoralityPet: Potentially, and particularly if the Warrior is dark sided.
* ObliviousToLove: Oh yeah. Pretty much all the Sith Warrior's Chapter 1 flirts will go straight over her head, even when he's dropping hints the size of a battlecruiser. He has to actively spell out that he has a romantic interest in her before she gets it.
* PlotArmor: The Sith Warrior can casually kill a number of [=NPCs=] for behavior far less disrespectful than Vette's repeat dialogue. No explanation is ever given why the Sith Warrior would be remotely inclined to spare her for it, even when the warrior's other victims would be far more useful than Vette.
* PluckyGirl: She's easily one of the most cheerful of the female companions despite being in a fairly crappy situation.
* ProfessionalKiller: She's actually worked as an assassin before. The Sith Warrior can express a good amount of surprise at this.
-->'''Vette:''' It depends on how much money is being offered, and how much the target deserves to die.
* RunningGag: Depending on your environment she'll ask you if she's ever told you that she's had a fear of dying in some relevant circumstance, such as being poisoned on Quesh and freezing to death on Hoth. Even standing on a bridge on Alderaan will make her wonder if she's ever told you about her fear of plummeting to death.
* SarcasticDevotee: She'll still be snarky to a Light Side Warrior.
* ShockCollar: She starts off with a slave collar that delivers a shock to her at the press of a button. You can either remove it or keep it around in case you don't want her mouthing off. [[spoiler:If you marry her, you discover she kept it after you took it off, and apparently has [[CasualKink "ideas"]] for its use..]]
* ShoutOut: In combat, she may yell to the Warrior that "if I die, I'm haunting you", much like Jack from VideoGame/MassEffect2. Also, [[spoiler:her real name is [[Wrestling/JohnCena Ce'na]].]]
* StepfordSmiler[=/=]SadClown: Doesn't let any of the shit she goes through affect her. Outwardly, anyway. If she reunites with an abusive Sith Warrior in ''Fallen Empire'', she tries to hide her frustration with them.
* TokenGoodTeammate: If Jaesa is evil, Vette will be the most moral character in your party, being the one character who consistently approves of light-sided options.
* TooKinkyToTorture: Averted. She tries to pretend it doesn't hurt, just to spite whoever's pushing the button, but the tortured face and wavering voice tells otherwise.
* VideoGameCaringPotential[=/=]VideoGameCrueltyPotential: Remove her shock collar when she first suggests it, or keep shocking her for every minor offense? Your call.
* VitriolicBestBuds: Potentially, with the Warrior. She'll ask what family means to them:
-->'''[[WarriorPoet Warrior]]:''' When you are close to people, they become family. Sometimes, [[StealthInsult whether you want them to or not]].
-->'''Vette:''' ''Cute''. I'm going to take that as a compliment.
** When reminiscing about her family:
--->'''Vette:''' I remember having the memories more than I remember the actual events. Does that make any sense?\\
'''Warrior:''' On the Vette weird scale, I'll give it a three.\\
'''Vette:''' And on the Sith joke scale...hmm, I guess no one's needed one of those before.
* WhatTheHellHero: Will yell at the male Warrior if he [[spoiler:forces her sister to sleep with him as "payment" for freeing her from her life as a SexSlave]], or in the case of a female Warrior, [[spoiler:make her "entertain" the male crew members back on your ship]].
* YouAreTooLate: Towards the end of her companion questline, [[spoiler:she manages to track down her mother, but sadly her mother had died a few days before you arrive.]]

* AlwaysOnDuty: He's the most professional of the crew.
* AntiVillain: If he were an antagonist, he would be this. Compared to most other Imperial officers, he is dutiful, competent and tries to be promoted on merit.
* TheAtoner: [[spoiler:For being Baras' mole. In ''Fallen Empire'', he'll send a romanced Warrior a letter about how he regrets the fact that he'll never be able to truly make up for his betrayal.]]
* BabiesEverAfter: If the female Warrior completes his romance, Quinn expresses his desire to raise their children, both in the end of his conversation arc and one of his love letters.
* BadassBookworm: He comes off as the most educated and informed of the crew.
* BattleCouple: With a female Sith Warrior, if romanced.
* CaptainSmoothAndSergeantRough: Quinn as the Captain and Pierce as the Sergeant. Predictably, they don't get along.
* CombatMedic: His specialty, even though he doesn't list it as such when he joins up with you. In fact, he is so good at that a lot of players don't bother switching him out with other companions once they get him.
* DeliberateValuesDissonance: As a non-Force sensitive raised in the Empire and working closely with AxCrazy Sith for most of his life, he struggles to understand the duality of the Light Side Warrior. He doesn't condone ForTheEvulz actions, yet he disapproves of the Warrior claiming that they reject the dark side (more than he actually disapproves of their light side choices in themselves). Notably, he will raise concerns towards a Light Side Warrior's 'unorthodox' methods. Contrast this with the Light Side Inquisitor's more morally ambiguous companions; [[DangerousDeserter Andronikos]] will merely comment that they confuse him, and [[BloodKnight Khem Val]] will only ever bring it up in an early conversation.
* EasilyForgiven: [[spoiler:The worst you can do to him after he betrays you is Force choke him to within an inch of his life. There is recorded dialog of Pierce and the Warrior talking about Quinn's death, so it is likely that he was one of the party members who was supposed to be killable before the developers realized that this would screw over players who opted to do so, since Malavai is the healer companion and the player might be using a play-style that would involve taking a lot of damage.]]
* FantasticRacism: Downplayed but present, especially regarding Vette. It comes with being a staunch Imperial.
* HarmlessFreezing: One of his combat abilities involves encasing a foe in carbonite.
* HypercompetentSidekick: He was formerly this to the insane and incompetent Moff Broysc. His personal storyline deals with him reconciling his feelings of doing what's best for the Empire regardless of protocol.
* InLoveWithYourCarnage: On Balmorra, if the Warrior is female, he remarks that all the destruction she's causing "excites" him.
* InsufferableGenius: Downplayed example, as he talks about his qualifications a lot, but it's always in the most polite, matter-of-fact way you can imagine.
* KarmaHoudini: [[spoiler:To the disappointment of many players, you can't actually execute him for his betrayal. Justified from a gameplay perspective at least; Malavai is the Sith Warrior's "healer" companion. If the player were allowed to kill Malavai for his later betrayal, and if the player were playing a role that involves taking a lot of damage (such as a tank or melee DPS), the player would be screwed out of a companion that could heal all that damage.]]
* MilitaryBrat: Like many Imperial, he comes from a family of military men.
* MyCountryRightOrWrong: He's not a bad guy by any means, but he's a devoted Imperial patriot.
* TheMole: [[spoiler:For Baras. He doesn't like betraying you, but does it anyway. He does, however, immensely enjoy the opportunity to dispose of either Vette or Pierce, if one of them accompanies you, which is one reason why many players lament him being a Karma Houdini. (As for Broonmark and Jaesa, he invites them to turn their backs on you to join him and Baras, but neither is the least bit interested.)]]
* OfficerAndAGentleman: Comes across as this.
* OlderThanTheyLook: According to the [[AllThereInTheManual official encyclopedia]], he's 37.
* PlotArmor: [[spoiler: Regardless of the Warrior's alignment and relationship with Quinn, it would be in-character (except ''maybe'' Light Jaesa) to kill him over his betrayal.]]
* PragmaticVillainy: He mainly approves of cruelty only when it's directed towards the enemy or if there's reasoning behind it..
* PuttingOnTheReich: Most of his armor sets tend to be Imperial military uniforms and Imperial infantry combat armor.
* ReassignedToAntarctica: The reason why Quinn, despite being a clearly talented officer, is initially languishing on Balmorra. He disobeyed the direct orders of the incompetent Moff Broysc at the Battle of Druckenwell, turning what would have been a crushing defeat into a victory. For this he was court-martialed and it was only through Darth Baras' intervention he wasn't dismissed altogether.
* ShadowArchetype: To the Trooper's companion Elara Dorne. A by-the-book military officer with strong adherence to rules and protocol, who comes from an Imperial military family and mechanically functioned as the player's healer companion. The main difference is that Dorne defects to the Republic due to moral differences, while Quinn is a dedicated Imperial loyalist who tends to approve of more morally questionable actions that benefit the Empire.
* {{Stealth|Pun}} VisualPun: [[spoiler:He has a prominent mole on his face, and he's TheMole for Darth Baras.]]
* TheStoic: So much so that this is one of his near-death quotes:
--> '''Malavai Quinn''': I thought dying would hurt more.
* UnequalPairing: His romance definitely has shades of this. As a non-Force-sensitive human, he's the Sith Warrior's social inferior in every way (who, even if you play a non-Pureblood alien, is still implied to have some Sith blood), and some of the dialogue embraces it. Even after being married, he will still call you "My Lord" in private.
** In one of his love letters, he says that based on a study by the Imperial military, Sith partners are 210% more likely to commit adultery, and non-Force users have a 32% increased mortality rate after marrying a Sith. But he is completely willing to accept the risk since he loves you so much [[spoiler: and is probably trying to make up for the whole attempted-murder thing]].

* AllAmazonsWantHercules: When romanced she wants to be dominated and feel helpless before her lover. It's worth noting that only the Dark Side version of her has a full "romance" path.
* AxCrazy[=/=]CuteAndPsycho: If Dark.
* BareYourMidriff: Her starting outfit. If Dark it's because she wants to wear it. If Light she wears it as most other Sith women wear such things.
* CaptainObvious: Light Side Jaesa is this when she fights, as she will often say to whatever is trying to kill her and you "I sense your hostility!" Another of her lines is "You're not going to surrender, are you?", which is a bit hilarious when the aggressor is an animal instead of a person.
* CardCarryingVillain: As a dark side Sith, Jaesa is a violent psychopath who is enthusiastic about the Sith philosophy and approves of the most violent and psychopathic actions, even if they border on StupidEvil.
* CombatSadomasochist: She links pain with pleasure when Dark Side.
* CorruptTheCutie: Combined with BreakTheCutie in order to make her evil.
* DefectorFromDecadence: If Light, she's disgusted with the hypocrisy of the Jedi Order and in particular, her old Master.
* DoubleWeapon: She uses double-sided Lightsabres.
* TheEmpath: An unusual variation, in that it's an ability she can turn on and off, but Jaesa can read an individual's emotions and even their very nature through the Force.
* EvilFeelsGood: If Dark.
* EvilMakeover: Dark Jaesa wears a lot of makeup and has yellow eyes.
* FriendsWithBenefits: If the player has not pursued a romance with Vette, Light Jaesa can be convinced of the "logic" of having a powerful Force-sensitive child with the Warrior.
* GlowingEyesOfDoom: If you reject her.
* HappilyMarried: Dark Jaesa is happy about a relationship with the Warrior and even happier to get married.
* HeroWorshipper: Between one of two extremes; Light Side Jaesa admires the Light Sith Warrior for being a paragon among their kind, and an example of what she believes are the best qualities of both the Jedi and Sith. Dark Jaesa revels in the Dark Side, along with [[EvilFeelsGood all that it entails]], and admires the Dark Sith Warrior for embodying the pure chaos and "evil" of the dark side.
* TheInfiltration: If Light, Jaesa decides to do this when she joins you... sort of. Rather than trying to bring the Empire down from the inside, she and the Light Side Warrior conspire to ''redeem'' it from the inside by attaining positions of power and then using their influence to get rid of all the evil policies and practices. Her companion quest involves finding a group of Sith who secretly follow the Light path and helping them avoid discovery and execution.
* InterplayOfSexAndViolence: The Sith Warrior is offered several opportunities in the romance arc to belittle Jaesa and she's either aroused or takes it in total stride. [[spoiler:Dark Side Jaesa fantasizes about being dominated, told what to do, and treated violently after the marriage (and even before it).]]
* {{Jerkass}}: Dark Side Jaesa is one of the most unpleasant characters in the entire game, being a violent psychopath devoted to spreading murder and chaos wherever she goes. The Warrior will get docked influence points with her if they don't act like a CardCarryingVillain who kicks the dog all the time.
* JumpingOffTheSlipperySlope: If shown the hypocrisy of her mentor Jedi and turned to the Dark Side, Jaesa permanently goes from a kindly WhiteMagicianGirl to AxCrazy in a few moments.
* MakeupIsEvil: Dark-side Jaesa wears ExcessiveEvilEyeshadow and purple lipstick.
* MindScrew: You can cause her to have one if you're neutral when you try to turn her to your side; she's legitimately confused at how a Sith's actions and heart can be so grey that their actions are "unknowable". This also lets you decide if she stays light or if you corrupt her.
* MutuallyExclusivePartyMembers: With herself in an odd twist. If you're light she'll stay light. If dark, she'll become dark. Either one has completely different personalities and reactions.
* MyBiologicalClockIsTicking: At the end of the romance arc [[spoiler:she literally offers her womb as incentive for getting married, and promises to give you as many babies as you can fill her with. Conversely, if Vette hasn't been romanced by the end of her storyline, her Light Side counterpart accepts the "logic" of letting the Warrior procreate with her.]]
* NotAfraidToDie: One of her battle quotes if she's Light.
* OrgasmicCombat: She makes comments indicating this if Dark.
* PregnantBadass: [[spoiler:What she wants to be at the end of the romance arc.]]
* ReluctantWarrior: If Light. During combat, Jaesa will lament that she has no other option but to kill whatever she's fighting, and when her opponent dies she sadly recites "There is no death, only the Force..." She will also mention on Taris that she doesn't like killing Jedi, which is understandable.
* ShadowArchetype: To Kira Carsen. Both have similar personalities (Brash, not afraid to speak their mind, and like combat) but opposite backgrounds: [[spoiler:Kira was groomed to be one of the Emperor's "Children" but fled and joined the Jedi after experiencing genuine kindness from the Jedi, Jaesa could have been a great Jedi but fell (possibly to darkness) after being let down by the hypocrisy of the Jedi.]] If anything, [[UpbringingMakesTheHero she's what Kira would have become if her mentors and the rest of the Jedi Council hadn't been as kind and supportive]].
* SkilledButNaive: Light-side Jaesa tends to come off as this.
* TeacherStudentRomance: As your apprentice, a romance with her ends up being this.
* TheTease: Her entire romance arc is based on emotional lust without [[spoiler:immediate]] physical gratification.
* UndyingLoyalty: To you, her new Master.
* UnequalPairing: Jaesa makes a demand to be an equal as your wife, but the Sith Warrior can deny her that right and still force her to marry him. She's disappointed if that's the case, but content to at least have you. Either way, Jaesa only calls you husband in private: in public she calls you, "My Lord" or "Master."
** Which, considering Dark Jaesa's wholehearted embrace of Sith philosophy, should not make the warrior ''too'' comfortable in his superiority. See {{Yandere}} below.
* UnholyMatrimony: It's perfectly possible to have a happy marriage with Jaesa based on mutual affection and respect with both parties being equals; it's just that you're both evil Sith and consequently the romance predictably has dark and even villainous undertones.
* WomenPreferStrongMen: If Dark.
* WorthyOpponent: Becomes one for the Republic if Light.
* {{Yandere}}: In one of her love letters to you, Jaesa admits that she planted a tracking device on you to see if you were cheating on her. It turns out that you have been loyal, and she expresses her disappointment that she will not get to hunt down and kill your mistresses.

Just derping around. Muffin?
