History Characters / StarWarsInquisitorius

* TokenCompetentMinion: One of the few Inquisitors who can actually fight top-tier lightsaber duelists and ''not'' get curbstomped, as shown by his impressive display of swordsmanship against Ahsoka. While he does flee when the opportunity presents itself, he fought hard enough that Ahsoka would have had to work for a possible victory compared to her battles against the Fifth Brother and Seventh Sister.

* SacrificialLion: [[spoiler:Inverted as he's one of the major villains, but he fatally loses a duel to the titular protagonist at the midpoint of ''Ahsoka'' to establish her skill in lightsaber combat beyond [[MookHorrorShow Elsbeth's rank and file.]]

** Iskat's has a visor that covers her eyes and nose.

* BrokenBird: An apparent once gentle giant jedi, who was broken down by the Empire into a deeply cynical Jedi hunter.

* TechnicianVersusPerformer: The Performers to Vader and Palpatine's Technicians, by design. They've got flashier weaponry, and are quite terrifying for most Jedi and ordinary people to encounter. But skill-wise, all except the Grand Inquisitor really are quite mediocre, relying on that fear to win their battles for them. Vader and Palpatine, on the other hand are fully-fledged Dark Lords of the Sith who don't need any tricks to achieve their goals, certainly outranking every Inquisitor combined in levels of power.

* SilentAntagonist: He's completely quiet, not even grunting when in fights. Subverted by "[[Recap/AhsokaS1E3Chapter3TimeToFly Time to Fly]]", where he's now [[SuddenlyVoiced remarkably talkative...]]

* TheSpeechless: He initially never speaks a word to his allies or enemies, and even in battle we never hear him so much as make an exertion of effort as he fights. He starts talking by the time Ahsoka, Sabine, and Huyang are approaching Morgan Elsbeth and the Eye of Sion, though.

* TerseTalker: If and when he does talk, it tends to be short and to the point.

** Notably has some elements of this to Anakin himself. A prideful and stubbornly determined loose cannon with a dash of recklessness and impulsiveness. One whose performances/getting results saves her from consequences to her recklessness, that's said to have come from the gutter which looms over her and implied to feel greatly betrayed/let down by people she once trusted. Then there’s how a lot of her fury is at loved ones lost. In addition there can be comparison made to her feeling she should be much higher ranked and treated better than she is, to Anakin's similar striving for the rank of Master (and poor reaction to being denied by it).

** The other exception is Third Sister, who is referred to by her name, Reva, suggesting they don't view her as truly one of them due to her lower class birth. In Part V of ''Series/ObiWanKenobi'', we learn that [[spoiler:they despise her and look down on her because they know she survived Order 66 and joined the Inquisitors to get revenge. She truly isn't one of them]].

* SilentAntagonist: He's completely quiet, not even grunting when in fights.

* TheSpeechless: He never speaks a word to his allies or enemies, and even in battle we never hear him so much as make an exertion of effort as he fights.

** The reference book ''The Secrets of the Jedi'' reveals that once the Jedi were officially considered extinct, the Inquisitors disappeared into darkness as well. Which implies [[YouHaveOutlivedYourUsefulness Sidious probably killed them when he saw that they were no longer of use and for not having opponents to challenge their authority]]. [[SubvertedTrope However]], as {{Series/Ahsoka}} shows, there is one Inquisitor, Marrok, who survived the fall of the Empire.

* TokenCompetentMinion: One of the few Inquisitors who can actually fight top-tier lightsaber duelists and ''not'' get curbstomped, as shown by his impressive display of swordsmanship against Ahsoka.

[[quoteright:300:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/inquisitor_marrok.png]]

* SpikesOfVillainy: His armor features two small curved spikes on either shoulder pauldron.

* CoolHelmet: His helmet is intricate and ridged in design, with a passing similarity to his fellow Inquisitor, the Eighth Brother's, own helmet.

* SoleSurvivor: He's the only Inquisitor still alive even after the deaths of Palpatine and Vader.

* GorinAttack: Tires to do this on Darth Vader/Anakin with her knife, but due to even his privates being made of metal after his [[SarcasmMode "leisurely dip" into Mustafarian lava]], [[NoSell it doesn't work]].

* OneSteveLimit: Averted. He shares his name with Embo's pet Anooba.

* TheSpeechless: He never speaks a word to his allies or enemies, and even in battle we never hear him so much as exerts as he fights.

* {{Irony}}: Marrok, whose job as an Inquisitor was to hunt down [[GenocideSurvivor the remaining Jedi]] after the Clone Wars, is working alongside Baylan Skoll, one of said Order 66 survivors, without issue from either men.

An Inquisitor who survived the fall of Galactic Empire who helps 2 survivors of their respective genocides to find Grand Admiral Thrawn, who disappeared into the Unknown Regions with Ezra Bridger after the Battle of Lothal.

* {{Irony}}: Marrok is working alongside Bylan Skoll, a Jedi survivor of Order 66 and Morgan Elsbeth, a descendant of the Dathomirian Nightsisters who survived Grievous's massacre of her people, to find Grand Admiral Thrawn.

* AmazingTechnicolorPopulation: She's of a red-skinned species, the Pkorian. Combine that with her CreepyLongFingers and sadism, and you have this demon-like woman.

* CreepyLongFingers: Not that she can help it, likely being a characteristic of the Pkorian, though she does the "creepy" part on her own.

* RageAgainstTheMentor: [[spoiler:During the fight between her and Jedi Master Klefan Opus, Iskat berates him for always sticking with the usual Jedi platitudes, obeying the loudest Senators of the Republic instead of the loudest screams of the people, and for holding back her true potential.]]

An Inquisitor who survived the fall of Galactic Empire.

* BraidOfAction: She has her hair tied this way and is a deadly mercenary.

* LaserBlade: They all wield red-bladed lightsabers with circular hilts. Some of them have variations as seen with the Eighth and Tenth Brother.

* DarkActionGirl: As is normal for a Nightsister warrior.

* DoubleWeapon: After killing her master, she took the Inquisitor's red double-bladed spinning [[LaserBlade lightsaber]] for herself.

* KnownOnlyByTheirNickname: Thus far, most Inquisitor have been referred to [[YouAreNumberSix only by their titles]], or even simply as [[EveryoneCallsHimBarkeep "The Inquisitor"]] (which makes sense for the leader, because he's not just an Inquisitor, he's the ''Grand'' Inquisitor). [[spoiler:Sixth Brother, Ninth Sister, and Tenth Brother are the exceptions to this rule in canon thus far, with Ferren Barr having revealed their names in order to turn their clones against them. ''Fallen Order'' also gives us the identity of Second Sister, as well as her backstory.]] The Third Sister is often referred to by name, Reva, which emphasises that her fellow Inquisitors do not consider her to be one of them.

* CallingTheMentorOut: [[spoiler:During the fight between her and Jedi Master Klefan Opus, Iskat berates him for always sticking with the usual Jedi platitudes, obeying the loudest Senators of the Republic instead of the loudest screams of the people, and for holding back her true potential.]]

* EvilBrit: He is one of the few alien characters in ''Star Wars'' to have a British accent; undoubtedly because he's a relatively high ranking member of the Empire. Also, he's ObviouslyEvil, and voiced by Jason Isaacs in ''Rebels'', and played by the equally British Rupert Friend in ''Obi-Wan Kenobi''.

!!Darth Vader

* CurbStompBattle: On the receiving end of it. [[spoiler:When she tries to kill Vader, he's barley even phased as she angrily charges at him. As he considers her beneath his notice, he only snaps her saber in half and uses it to break her defensive line in less than a minute, stab her, and reveal that he knew what she was up to from the beginning.]]

** The Ninth Sister [[spoiler:kills Senator Sejan]] after surmising he intended to use Cal as a bargaining chip to gain favor with the Emperor. Later, [[spoiler:Vader kills Lank Denvik for hoarding the location of Cere Junda and her Path cell on Jedha after being baited by Bode.]]
* OvershadowedByAwesome: The Inquisitors are the most feared Jedi Hunters in the galaxy--and absolutely next-to-nothing in terms of power or ruthlessness compared to their boss, Darth Vader, who can make even the most hardened of their members quake in fear. [[spoiler:The Grand Inquisitor is DrivenToSuicide because he knows [[YouHaveFailedMe what the price of failure in Vader's eyes is.]]]], and Reva, for all her ambition, learns firsthand that [[spoiler:Vader saw right through her little scheme and decimates her without even bothering to ignite his own lightsaber.]] For their own sake, no Inquisitor dares to get on Vader's bad side.

* PragmaticVillainy: The Inquisitors are (thus far) the main exception to the Empire's FantasticRacism. The Empire espouses racism against nonhumans. It's noted that Agent Kallus looks upon them with disdain (for other reasons, not because of their species), yet all Inquisitors to this point have been aliens ([[spoiler:with the exception of Second and Third Sisters)]]. This is likely because they are individuals who possess exceptional skill and are capable of using the Force. They even have the authority to commandeer other Imperial forces, if need be.

* RedAndBlackAndEvilAllOver: With their [[EvilWearsBlack black uniforms]] and red lightsabers, the Inquisitorius makes it [[ObviouslyEvil obvious to all that they're a less-than-benevolent]] organization.
