History Characters / StarWarsInquisitorius

* YouveGotSpunk: In ''Tales of the Empire'', when Barriss draws his blood in a training session, the Grand Inquisitor is visibly impressed and compliments her.

* TokenCompetentMinion: One of the few Inquisitors shown to regularly defeat Jedi. She bested Cal at least twice, having him on the run, and would have killed him if not for the intervention of others.(BD-1 and Cere at different times)

* MysteriousPast: We know almost nothing about them other than that Palpatine has been planning it for a while and he somehow got a hold of Force-users that used to be in the light. We can't even assume that it's been around ever since two years into the Clone Wars (as [[spoiler:the Grand Inquisitor was still the Sentinel at the time and was present during Ahsoka/Barriss's trial]]), because who knows where the other Inquisitors came from and when. ''Fallen Order'' does give us a full backstory for Second Sister, while ''Obi-Wan Kenobi'' shines the light on the Third Sister, in addition to Fifth Brother during ''Jedi Battle Scars'', and ''Inquistor: Rise of the Red Blade'' give backstories to Iskata and Tualon Yaluna, who were previously unidentified in ''Dark Lord of the Sith''.

** Barriss Offee's helmet looks like Ventress' bounty hunter helmet mixed with Darth Vader's face mask, a reminder of the crime that led her to be recruited as an Inquisitor as well as a mocking reminder that she is now an "apprentice" to Darth Vader (aka Ahsoka's former master, Anakin Skywalker). For added bonus, her helmet has voice modulator just like Vader's.

* Barriss Offee's helmet looks like Ventress' bounty hunter helmet mixed with Darth Vader's face mask, a reminder of the crime that led her to be recruited as an Inquisitor as well as a mocking reminder that she is now an "apprentice" to Darth Vader (aka Ahsoka's former master, Anakin Skywalker). For added bonus, her helmet has voice modulator just like Vader's.

A Jedi-turned-Inquisitor tasked with finding Obi-Wan Kenobi on Daiyu. Prior to the Daiyu mission, she was responsible for offering Barris Offee a chance to join the Inquisitorius itself.

* MotiveDecay: Initially, the Inquisitors were composed of either Jedi who completely embrace the Dark Side as the future or Jedi who saw the Inquisitorius as a means to bring peace and order to the galaxy after the devastating Clone Wars. Then overtime, the [[WellIntentionedExtremist more noble Inquisitors]] started to disappear, either through death or desertion, because they cannot stand the hypocrisy of their new order. The Inquisitors who remain after one decade of service are selfish, power hungry individuals who enjoy killing Jedi and kidnapping Force-sensitive children for the Empire.

* SuspiciouslySimilarSubstitute: You may be forgiven to believe that the Seventh Sister is actually [[FallenHero Barriss Offee]], a female Mirialan Jedi who was disillusioned by the Jedi Order and was taken into custody by the Republic for war crimes, including framing her best friend Ahsoka, who also appears in ''Rebels''. It's later revealed that while Barriss did became an Inquisitor, [[spoiler:her good-hearted personality and her sincere devotion to peace makes her very incompatible to last long in the Inquisitorius]], necessitating the [[ReplacementFlatCharacter Seventh Sister to be a Barriss without any redeeming qualities]].

* PetTheDog:
** Downplayed; [[spoiler:despite killing everyone else in a shanty town for lying about a Jedi's location, the Fourth Sister spares the child who told Barriss the truth, leaving them traumatized and alone, but alive.]]
** Another downplayed instance when [[spoiler:she meets Barriss again years later. Despite Barriss having turned on Lyn and previously shoved her off a tall cliff that could very well have killed her, Lyn initially doesn't seem to want to kill Barriss and simply moves to walk past her. Even after Barriss stands in her way, Lyn attacks briefly, but then stops and orders Barriss to step aside, only resuming her attack when Barriss still refuses to stand down.]]

* SuspiciouslySimilarSubstitute: You may be forgiven to believe that the Seventh Sister is actually [[FallenHero Barriss Offee]], a female Mirialan Jedi who was disillusioned by the Jedi Order and was taken into custody by the Republic for war crimes, including framing her best friend Ahsoka, who also appears in ''Rebels''. Given that it's later revealed that while Barriss did became an Inquisitor, [[spoiler:her good-hearted personality and her sincere devotion to peace makes her very incompatible to last long in the Inquisitorius]], necessitating the Seventh Sister to be a Barriss without any redeeming qualities.

* ShadowArchetype: She serves as a reflection of Barriss if she was older and far more cynical. Like Barriss, Lyn became disillusioned with the Jedi Order and believed it needed to be replaced by something better. But unlike Barriss, Lyn fully embraces violence and hate taught in the Inquisitorius program, dismissing her hypocritical actions as NecessarilyEvil and spending more time trying to kill the surviving Jedi rather than capture. [[spoiler:Her callous actions causes Barriss to have HeelRealization, as she sees a lot of herself in Lyn.]]

* PaperTiger: She never gets to fight Obi Wan directly, but the rest of her showing does not exactly paint her as very strong. Her schemes end up backfiring on her, Owen and Beru actually manage to stall her effectively (albeit when Reva is injured) and Darth Vader very easily beats her without drawing his own lightsaber. It's to the point that Vader not only lacked the need to draw his own saber, he outright disarmed Reva, split hers, and then gave her back half of it just to give her a slight chance at actually posing a threat.

* PetTheDog: Downplayed; [[spoiler:despite killing everyone else in a shanty town for lying about a Jedi's location, the Fourth Sister spares the child who told Barriss the truth, leaving them traumatized and alone, but alive.]]

* AscendedExtra: After being a FlatCharacter in her debut in ''Obi-Wan Kenobi'', the trailer for ''Tales of the Empire'' shows she will serve a major role as the EvilMentor of Barriss Offee.

* EvilFormerFriend: Lyn and Barriss were acquainted prior to the latter's treason against the Jedi, and once she becomes an Inquisitor, Lyn brings Barriss into the fold as well. [[spoiler:While they're working together, however, Lyn's ruthlessness and dedication to the Empire's doctrine of ruling through fear alienate Barriss, who turns on her, and years later, manages to pull Lyn away from the dark side at the [[UncertainDoom possible]] cost of her own life.]]

* DrivenByFear: Although she boasts that fear is her ally, [[spoiler:when her efforts to capture a Force-sensitive child are stymied and Barriss offers her the chance to forsake the Inquisitorius, the Fourth Sister responds by asking if Barriss knows what Vader and the Grand Inquisitor will do to her for failing; Barriss accurately notes that, rather than her ally, fear has become Lyn's ''master''.]]
