| 21 | ->''"The Inquisitorius. A project of mine, long planned. Slaves to the light side once, now awake. Hunters, one and all."'' |
| 22 | -->--'''Darth Sidious''' |
| 23 | |
| 24 | A group of former Jedi trained in the Dark Side who are tasked with hunting down surviving Jedi and apprehending or recruiting Force-sensitive individuals. |
| 25 | |
| 26 | Though many were seen as potential replacements for Darth Vader, should he have failed Darth Sidious or died, the Inquisitorius was disbanded sometime before the Battle of Yavin, with Sidious seemingly believing that the group had served its purpose. |
| 27 | ---- |
| 28 | [[folder:In General]] |
| 29 | * TwentyFourHourArmor: None of them seem to have clothes other then their Inquisitorius uniforms, as they are never shown wearing anything else. Even while [[VillainsOutShopping relaxing and having a drink]] at their home base, the most any of them do is remove their face-covering helmets. |
| 30 | * AceCustom: |
| 31 | ** Their lightsabers have all been personally customized by and fitted to the liking of their Inquisitor. This ranges in small changes like size and handle shape, to having extra abilities installed, like the Eighth Brother's razor wheel, or the Tenth Brother's unique dual Shoto blades. |
| 32 | ** Their piloting skills and senior position in the military command structure grant them the privilege of flying the rare TIE Advanced v1, though the Second Sister seems to favor an early version of the TIE Interceptor and the Ninth Sister uses a larger TIE Reaper instead. |
| 33 | * AlwaysABiggerFish: No matter how strong or skilled any of them become, none of them will ever reach a level close to Sith Lords and they [[CurbStompBattle get beaten and/or killed easily]] by them, as shown when Vader and Maul do so. |
| 34 | * AmbiguousSituation: |
| 35 | ** It is currently unknown how many Inquisitors there are, but AllThereInTheManual has stated that there are as many as twelve. |
| 36 | ** In ''[[VideoGame/StarWarsUprising Uprising]]'', the Smuggler can take an optional series of sidequests that will turn them into a Jedi. However, the [=NPCs=] mention the presence of "The Inquisitor" nearby and that the Smuggler will have to fight them soon (though with the game's cancellation, this never happens). It's unknown if this is considered canon to the actual story, as the only reason why these sidequests exist is because of RuleOfCool for players. |
| 37 | ** ''Dark Lord of the Sith'' shows the Inquisitors first introduced in ''[[WesternAnimation/StarWarsRebels Rebels]]'' [[spoiler:looking the same as they did a decade and a half ago]]. Could either be a case of BizarreAlienBiology since none of them are human, or TheAgeless (or they at least age very slowly) through unknown causes. |
| 38 | ** [[invoked]] It was implied in ''Rebels'' and by WordOfGod that the Inquisitors had roots [[spoiler:as [[FallenHero former Jedi]]]], but was vague enough to be interpreted as not applying to all of them. It wasn't clear until ''Dark Lord of the Sith'', where it gets outright confirmed that [[spoiler:yes, ''all'' of the Inquisitors were former Jedi]]. |
| 39 | ** In an interview regarding "Twilight of the Apprentice", Dave Filoni stated that ''all'' of the Inquisitors [[spoiler:are now dead]]. Whether or not he means [[spoiler:all of the Inquisitors present at Malachor or the entire organization]] is unknown. |
| 40 | * AnArmAndALeg: After being introduced to the Inquisitors, [[BadBoss Vader]] removes parts from each of their bodies, such as hands, arms, and eyes, except for the Grand Inquisitor's, in order to teach them loss, just as he had learned it. |
| 41 | * ArcVillain: When an Inquisitor turns up, it's usually as one of these. Overall, they were the main Dark Side users that Order 66 survivors had to contend with in the interim period between ''Revenge of the Sith'' and ''A New Hope''. |
| 42 | * ArtifactName: No matter how their [[YouAreNumberSix numbered naming]] system works, be it a rank based off ability or when they joined, it never changes no matter how many of them are picked off. For example, [[spoiler:despite the Ninth Sister outliving the Second by over five years, she is still identified as the Ninth by the time of her rematch with Cal.]] |
| 43 | * ArtificialLimbs: Many of them had parts of their body dismembered by Vader so that they can learn what loss feels like and subsequently replaced with cybernetic prosthetics. They can also get these prosthetics when they lose body parts in the field, as Ninth Sister got her right leg replaced after Sixth Brother betrayed her and chopped it off and got her right hand replaced when Cal Kestis chopped it off during their duel on Kashyyk. |
| 44 | * AsskickingLeadsToLeadership: [[ImpliedTrope Implicitly]], rank is tied to ability. [[spoiler:After the death of the Grand Inquisitor, the Seventh Sister comments that they've been searching for the Jedi responsible, presumably to take his place by bringing them in.]] |
| 45 | * AwesomeButImpractical: Their double-ended, rotating lightsabers. The circular hilt is a huge target that more than once is destroyed by the Inquisitor's enemy, and being only the length of a single blade hilt removes the leverage that a standard double-ended saber would allow. They also have a single-blade mode where the circle retracts to a simple finger guard on the hilt; in theory this allows them to switch modes depending on the situation, but once they're in double mode they almost never switch back. |
| 46 | * TheBrute: Most, though not all Inquisitors tend to be this. Compared to Vader or even their leader, most Inquisitors tend to be blunt instruments, decently capable of taking on Jedi, especially with the Empire's backing, but totally lacking in finesse or any deeper understanding of the dark side. |
| 47 | * BeingTorturedMakesYouEvil: This is a staple for the franchise, and canonically a method used to turn Jedi to the Dark Side and get them to join the Inquisitorius. Second Sister and Tualon Yaluna were successfully turned, and the attempt was also made on Cere Junda. |
| 48 | * BodyHorror: In ''Dark Lord of the Sith'', Vader makes all of them lose a body part. Ninth Sister lost one of her eyes, for instance. |
| 49 | * CanonImmigrant: The Inquisitiorius originated in ''Franchise/StarWarsLegends'', where they were Force-sensitive Dark Side agents that also served with Imperial Intelligence. ''Rebels'' brings them back into the canon, though alters some aspects of the organization such as adding the Brother/Sister naming convention, giving them spinning saberstaffs and a semi-armored black uniform, and putting greater focus on their status as Jedi hunters. |
| 50 | * ColdBloodedTorture: Confirmed by ''Jedi: Fallen Order'' to be a large contributing factor to their FaceHeelTurn. Second Sister and Ninth Sister admit to still being bitter over it. |
| 51 | * CoolHelmet: Just about every Inquisitor gets their own custom helmet, often with a [[CoolMask mask]]. They appear to be modeled upon Vader's, although in the Inquisitors' cases, they aren't necessary for their survival. |
| 52 | ** The Grand Inquisitor has a unique fighter pilot helmet that he wears when piloting his personal TIE Advanced v1. [[spoiler:And he has a white helmet as the Sentinel.]] |
| 53 | ** The Second Sister has a helmet bearing a strong resemblance to Darth Vader's. |
| 54 | ** The Sixth Brother has a helmet with a blast shield. |
| 55 | ** The Seventh Sister's has a retractable mask. |
| 56 | ** The Eighth Brother's bears some similarities to both Darth Vader's and Kylo Ren's. |
| 57 | ** The Ninth Sister's is a light helmet with three protrusions: one at the top of her head, and the others on the side of her head, at eye level. Additionally, she sports some cool shades. |
| 58 | ** The Thirteenth Sister has a visor that covers her eyes and nose. |
| 59 | ** Marrok has a helmet with a passing resemblance to Eighth Brother, and seemingly takes inspiration from the helmet of a medieval knight. |
| 60 | ** [[AvertedTrope Averted with]] the Third Sister who goes without any headgear, the Fifth Brother, who has a hat similar to a [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Montera montera]] or [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kasa_(hat) kasa]]; the Tenth Brother, who goes without any headgear at all; and Tualon Yaluna, whose headgear only protects his lekku, the sides of his face, and has a breathing mask. |
| 61 | * CoolStarship: They fly TIE Advanced fighters, similar that of Darth Vader. Beforehand, they made use of a variety of other TIE models. |
| 62 | * CurbStompCushion: Although the Fifth Brother and Seventh Sister were easily outmatched by the former Padawan Ahsoka the first time they fought, in the season two finale they were able to give her something resembling a real fight. |
| 63 | * {{Cyborg}}: Many of them had their limbs hacked off and replaced with cybernetic ones by Darth Vader in order to teach them loss. |
| 64 | * DarkActionGirl: All of the female Inquisitors or "Sisters" are naturally this. |
| 65 | * DarkIsEvil: Their black outfits compliment their use of TheDarkSide well. |
| 66 | * DeathByAdaptation: By the time of the Battle of Yavin in the current canon, all known Inquisitors are deceased (with the exception of Marrok) and the organization is disbanded. In ''Legends'', the Inquisitorius still existed by the time of the New Republic and even menaced Luke's New Jedi Order, [[UncertainDoom though they ended up vanishing]] before the [[Literature/NewJediOrder Yuuzhan Vong War]]. |
| 67 | * DeckOfWildCards: As revealed on ''Obi-Wan Kenobi'', the Inquisitorius is not above vying for the title of Grand Inquisitor. Members like the Third Sister and the Fifth Brother each seek the position, each willing to go above each other's heads and report to Vader himself--he even encourages it, though it's mostly to see if they'll actually be worth keeping around. |
| 68 | * {{Determinator}}: Failure is not an option for them. They're extremely persistent in their pursuit of the Jedi, and [[spoiler:Ezra had to accept that nothing short of killing them is going to stop them]]. |
| 69 | * DoomedByCanon: [[WordOfGod Dave Filoni]] states that the Inquisitorius organization would be no more by the time of ''Film/ANewHope'', as Tarkin states in that film that Vader is "all that's left of [the Jedi's] religion," which Filoni believes also includes the Dark Side of the Force (the Emperor's status as a Sith Lord is kept a secret to most of the Empire). |
| 70 | * DoubleWeapon: Inquisitor lightsabers are specially designed so that the user can wield them with a single or double blade, though the Tenth Brother seems to use a pair of smaller single-bladed lightsabers instead. |
| 71 | * DumbMuscle: When compared to higher-skilled Jedi or the likes of Vader. They're not ''stupid'', but intelligence wasn't what the Empire was primarily concerned about, especially since having too intelligent Inquisitors would pose a direct threat to the Emperor, meaning their fighting and Force techniques tend to be very basic and unrefined. |
| 72 | * EqualOpportunityEvil: The notoriously xenophobic Empire employs Inquisitors of various species. To boot, five (nearly half of the canonical Inquisitors revealed) are women. |
| 73 | * EvilPowerVacuum: Downplayed, but technically happens twice: First when the Grand Inquisitor is temporarily incapacitated in ''Obi-Wan Kenobi'', and again after he is KilledOffForReal in ''Rebels''. In both instances, the other Inquisitors seek to claim the position of Grand Inquisitor for themselves, but Darth Vader asserts direct control of the Inquistorious to keep them focused. |
| 74 | * EvilWearsBlack: Inquisitor armor tends to be rather dark in color. |
| 75 | * FaceHeelTurn: |
| 76 | ** Many Inquisitors were once Jedi themselves, having willingly forsaken the Order and the Light Side in exchange for their lives and servitude to the Empire. As revealed in [[Recap/StarWarsRebelsS2E16ShroudOfDarkness "Shroud of Darkness"]], the Grand Inquisitor was one such Jedi. |
| 77 | --->'''Dave Filoni:''' I would imagine that coming out of the prequel era -- fans might not believe this, but I think it’s true -- that there were some Jedi that were so affected by the Clone War that they would try to barter their life for loyalty to the Dark Side. I don’t think it’s out of the question. I think it’s perfectly in play, though we haven’t done that at this point. Mostly because it gets into kind of gray areas and I worry we’d have to be very clear about why and who is doing that. |
| 78 | ** ''Dark Lord of the Sith'' confirms that yes, every Inquisitor we've met thus far was a Jedi who likely turned to the Dark Side of their own free will. |
| 79 | --->'''Grand Inquisitor:''' The Inquisitors are formidable fighters. They are former Jedi.\ |
| 80 | '''Darth Vader:''' [[DamnedByFaintPraise And they fight like it]]. Defensive. Moving to attack only when there is no other choice. The Jedi taught that a battle could be counted a victory even if both parties survive. This error has infected the Inquisitors' tactics. |
| 81 | ** Their {{mooks}}, the Purge Troopers[[note]]essentially Death Trooper/Riot Trooper hybrids[[/note]], were clone troopers from the final production line. |
| 82 | * FallenHero: They were once members of the Jedi Order who fell to the Dark Side out of despair, fear, or selfishness. And some of them had noble intentions before they were completely corrupted, such as the Sentinel (Grand Inquisitor) and [[spoiler:Barriss Offee]]. |
| 83 | * FromNobodyToNightmare: All of them. Before they were the feared Jedi hunters, they were just like the run-of-the-mill Jedi they preyed on before the Empire. |
| 84 | * GoMadFromTheIsolation: In ''Jedi: Fallen Order'', the Ninth Sister mentions that ColdBloodedTorture, isolation, and [[BodyHorror mutilation]] were some of the things they had to endure in becoming an Inquisitor. |
| 85 | * HeroKiller: As seen by the number of preserved corpses in the Fortress Inquisitorius, they've killed many Jedi. Among the list is Coleman Kcaj and Tera Sinube. |
| 86 | * HunterOfHisOwnKind: An organisation of Jedi defectors who hunt down and kill their former compatriots at the Empire's behest. |
| 87 | * InstantFlightJustAddSpinning: [[Recap/StarWarsRebelsS2E19TwilightOfTheApprentice "Twilight of]] [[Recap/StarWarsRebelsS2E20TwilightOfTheApprenticePartII the Apprentice"]] shows that they can fly short distances by using their spinning sabers as helicopter rotors. However, WordOfGod makes clear this is only possible in Dark Side hotspots. |
| 88 | * InSeriesNickname: The Inquisitors are usually referred to as "Red Blades". Maul was even mistaken for an Inquisitor by a Rebel Trooper because of this. |
| 89 | * KnightOfCerebus: The only reason the Inquisitorius exists is to hunt down Jedi who survived [[Film/RevengeOfTheSith Order 66]], and are far more dangerous than macerate Imperial mooks. They're trained by ''Darth Vader himself''. |
| 90 | -->'''Pablo Hidalgo:''' We all took care to make sure our villains have real presence and our heroes just can't walk all over him. This isn't like cartoons I grew up with in the 80s where you’d have the villain lose every week and yet every week we'd have to believe he's some sort of threat. When The Inquisitor shows up, it means something significant and it's a definite challenge for our heroes. |
| 91 | * 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 emphasizes that her fellow Inquisitors do not consider her to be one of them. |
| 92 | * LaserBlade: They all wield red double-bladed lightsabers with circular hilts that allow the blades to spin. Some of them have different variations as seen with the Eighth and Tenth Brother. |
| 93 | * LaterInstallmentWeirdness: Bar the exception of the Grand Inquisitor, most members of the Inquisitorius in the current canon were only known by their numbered designations and rejected their original names on the occasions they were brought up. While they still tend to go by these codenames, later works refer to them by their real names more often. |
| 94 | * LoopholeAbuse: Their existence is an organized way for the Sith to have Dark Side servants and bypass the RuleOfTwo, as they're technically ''not'' Sith, nor are they be trained to the power level of a real Sith. |
| 95 | * MalevolentMaskedMen: Most of them wear masks, and they're all definitely pretty bad individuals. Even the more sympathetic members are still willing to commit atrocities for little reason. |
| 96 | * MindOverMatter: Being former Jedi, all of the Inquisitors are Force-sensitive and are capable of moving objects and people with their minds. |
| 97 | * MutantDraftBoard: Aside from their task of killing fugitive Jedi, the other purpose of the Inquisitorius is to take in young Force users to raise as future Inquisitors (or something else...), and these children are often taken in by force. |
| 98 | * 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''. |
| 99 | * NonUniformUniform: The Inquisitors all wear similar black armor in their own styles. |
| 100 | * NoodleIncident: In ''[[Literature/StarWarsAhsoka Ahsoka]]'', the Grand Inquisitor reports to Vader that they've "found ''another'' Jedi" [[spoiler:after the late Sixth Brother's encounter with Ahsoka]]. ''Ahsoka'' takes place only a year after the fall of the Republic, and the Inquisitors have had very minimal experience with Jedi in this point of the timeline as well. Turns out he may be referring to [[spoiler:Jocasta]], who they had confronted shortly after the rise of the Empire. |
| 101 | * NotBrainwashed: Initially, it was implied that the Inquisitors were at least brainwashed to some extent, but ''Dark Lord of the Sith'' would later reveal that most if not all of them are aware they were former Jedi and knowingly left the Order to join the Dark Side, such as Fifth Brother during the events of ''Jedi Battle Scars''. ''Why'' they fell in the first place, however, is whole other matter that has yet to be answered at the time of this writing -- other than how the Grand Inquisitor was a willing recruit, whereas some others like the Ninth and Second Sisters are {{Tragic Villain}}s who have furiously spoken about how completely and utterly broken they were by the Empire to force them to become what they were, with all manners of torture, mutilation and something terrible being implied to have happened to the Ninth’s friends. |
| 102 | * ObviouslyEvil: As if the fact that they're employed by the ''Galactic Empire'' wasn't clue enough, they're trained in the ways of TheDarkSide, they wield red lightsabers, they [[EvilWearsBlack wear black uniforms and headgear]] (although custom-made ones), and they're accompanied by ominous music. |
| 103 | * OddlySmallOrganization: Excluding the Purge Troopers, there are only thirteen known Inquisitors that form the backbone of the entire Inquisitorius organization. Granted, this is due to the fact that there are so few Jedi left that had survived Order 66 leaving the only untrained Force-Sensitives to actually pose a challenge to them. |
| 104 | * OminousLatinChanting: Their {{Leitmotif}} is composed of this. [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ItpYeadX-vk Fitting, really.]] |
| 105 | * TheOnlyOneAllowedToDefeatYou: The Inquisitorious does ''not'' appreciate when other Imperials or other villains try to root out and kill Jedi out from under them. |
| 106 | ** In ''Rebels'', Fifth Brother calls Konstantine off the pursuit of Phoenix Squadron to deprive Kallus of critically needed air support that could’ve defeated the crew and their new clone allies, all so he can make an impression and later take on the crew himself. |
| 107 | ** The Ninth Sister [[spoiler:kills Senator Sejan]] after surmising he intended to use Cal as a bargaining chip to gain favor with the Emperor, simply accusing him of harboring a traitor. Later, [[spoiler:Vader kills Lank Denvik for hoarding the location of Cere Junda and her Path cell on Jedha after being baited by Bode.]] |
| 108 | ** [[spoiler:Iskat Akaris kills Jakadis for hoarding the captive Jedi in the form of Klefan, Charlin, and a Zeltron to himself and for trying to offer her a job bounty hunting away from her current job.]] |
| 109 | * OvershadowedByAwesome: The Inquisitors are the most feared Jedi Hunters in the galaxy. And they are 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.]]]], 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]], and Thirteenth Sister/Iskat Akaris and Tualon flee for their lives and try to kill him because he didn't like their relationship. For their own sake, no Inquisitor dares to get on Vader's bad side. Finally, as shown in ''Rebels'', none of them could even hold a candle to the only other Sith surviving outside the Empire: Darth Maul. |
| 110 | * PowerLimiter: Not a device, but their training. Vader and the Emperor want them to be strong enough to hunt Jedi, but they're never permitted anywhere near the strength of Vader and the Emperor. According to Filoni, the Grand Inquisitor was a bit weaker than Ventress, which indicates that if he were a bit stronger he could be seen as a potential threat. |
| 111 | * PragmaticVillainy: Along with [[Characters/StarWarsThrawnCharacterSheet Grand Admiral Thrawn]], 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. |
| 112 | * ProperlyParanoid: They may cut the legs out from underneath other Imperials trying to kill Jedi, but considering [[YouHaveOutLivedYourUsefulness what the Empire does to people they no longer need]], it’s justified that they don’t want anyone taking their prey from them. |
| 113 | * RedAndBlackAndEvilAllOver: With their [[EvilWearsBlack black uniforms]] and red lightsabers, the Inquisitorius make it [[ObviouslyEvil obvious to all that they're a less-than-benevolent]] organization. |
| 114 | * ShroudedInMyth: The Inquisitorius is a highly secretive organization, with few knowing of where they actually came from. ''Dark Lord of the Sith'' reveals that '''at least''' ten Inquisitors existed shortly after the Clone Wars ended, suggesting that -- unless Darth Sidious trained them rather quickly -- the Inquisitorius as an organization may have been around for longer than the foundation of the Empire. Some of this could be explained by the fact that [[spoiler:the Grand Inquisitor defected from the Jedi Order and joined their ranks around the time of Order 66]], and it is implied that others followed suit. |
| 115 | * SigilSpam: Most of them feature copious Imperial sigils all across their sets of armor. The Third and Thirteenth Sisters are the only exceptions, while the others have two on either shoulder / forearm, except for the Second Sister and Unknown Brother, who feature several on their capes. |
| 116 | * SmallRoleBigImpact: Despite being TheHeavy for ''Rebels'' as a whole, the Inquisitorius make few real appearances. The creators stated they did this on purpose so they don't feel like 1980's cartoon villains that fail every week. Instead, they rarely appear, because when they do, it's a major challenge to the heroes: they're arc villains, not enemies of the week. The Grand Inquisitor only appears for a little over half of the first season [[spoiler:before biting the dust, but his death drives the plot of the series forward as more Inquisitors are sent after the ''Ghost'' crew. In addition, he inadvertently helps Ezra tap into the Dark Side and makes Kanan completely accept his role as Ezra's master.]] |
| 117 | * SortingAlgorithmOfEvil: Inverted. The Grand Inquisitor who was the leader and strongest of the group was the first to be officially introduced in ''Rebels''. |
| 118 | * SpectacularSpinning: Their lightsabers can spin on an axis. This is [[AwesomeButImpractical less impressive than it sounds]]. While it's great for intimidation of inexperienced Jedi (who form the majority of the galaxy's surviving Jedi as it is), it's not too practical in a battle against a seasoned Jedi. The Grand Inquisitor learns this the hard way when [[spoiler:at the end of the first season of ''Rebels'', Kanan overcomes his fear of him and bests him almost the moment he tries the spinning tactic]]. |
| 119 | * SpinToDeflectStuff: While their lightsabers are spinning, it serves as an effective blaster bolt shield. |
| 120 | * StandardEvilOrganizationSquad: They're an organization with a dedicated purpose, (semi) similar uniforms, and a standardized hierarchy. |
| 121 | * SticksToTheBack: Inquisitors typically carry their sheathed lightsaber hilts on their backs. |
| 122 | * SwissArmyWeapon: Their lightsabers' spinning mechanism can be used to not only intimidate Jedi and other opponents, but also to fly short distances in Dark Side hotspots and easily protect against blaster fire. Their double-edged lightsaber's ability to split into two means that it can also be used for Jar'Kai (DualWielding lightsabers) and a regular single-bladed lightsaber. Unfortunately, most of the Inquisitors are not at a skill level to make use of all of these, which makes it AwesomeButImpractical. |
| 123 | * ThatManIsDead: They all feel this way about their old Jedi identities, and any reminders about the heroes they once were only serve to be [[ShutUpKirk disregarded]] or enrage them. |
| 124 | * TragicVillain: Many of them are people -- either young Padawans or once heroes themselves as Jedi -- who have lost everything, even themselves as the Empire has completely and utterly broken them into its tools. Trilla herself pleads for Cal and Cere to "avenge us" before her own boss murders her. |
| 125 | * TrainingFromHell: All Inquisitors are trained by Vader himself, whose regimen includes mandatory mutilation, physical and emotional torture, isolation and rigorous training. Though some Jedi are also trained by the Grand Inquisitor himself to become Inquisitors, such as Barriss and Iskat. |
| 126 | * ThrowingYourSwordAlwaysWorks: Completely justified, as their lightsabers are spinning discs and they have the Force to control it. |
| 127 | * 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 and Marrok 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. |
| 128 | * UnskilledButStrong: They're naturally very powerful thanks to being Force-sensitives and their double-bladed lightsabers are incredibly deadly weapons. Unfortunately, the majority of them were only Younglings and Padawans before they became Inquisitors, so their skill and training are incomplete, resulting in them only having passable-to-average swordsmanship and having very basic force techniques. |
| 129 | * VillainsOutShopping: At one point in the ''Darth Vader'' comic, they're all seen brooding around in the break room while two of them do a drinking game for every Jedi they've killed. |
| 130 | * WeAreStrugglingTogether: The Inquisitorius is a competitive environment, with each of them being out for themselves first and foremost. While some get along better with others, as a whole, they either snipe at each other or actively compete to capture their prey or rise in status, with such competitions occasionally endangering their overall success. |
| 131 | * WhatHappenedToTheMouse: After the events on Malachor, Vader and the Inquisitors mysteriously stop chasing after Kanan and Ezra. Apparently, the Inquisitorius is still active at this time according to WordOfGod, and early on in Season 3, Kanan and Ezra imply that they haven't seen any Inquisitors go after them since then. If the novel ''Thrawn'' is of any indication, the Emperor let Thrawn take over the Rebel problem, relieving Vader and by extension, the Inquisitorius. |
| 132 | ** 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. |
| 133 | * WouldHurtAChild: As far as the Inquisitorius is concerned, age is no object: as long as you're a target or in the way, your life is expendable. |
| 134 | ** In ''Series/ObiWanKenobi'', a Jedi Youngling is among the corpses in the tomb inside Fortress Inquisitorius. |
| 135 | ** In their first battle, the Grand Inquisitor makes it clear he intends to kill Ezra if the boy doesn't submit. |

| 137 | ** The Seventh Sister hunts Ezra and Sabine in her debut appearance, then tortures Ezra and threatens to mutilate him if he doesn't give her information about Ahsoka Tano. Later, she relishes the thought of slowly torturing both Ezra and Sabine to death. |
| 138 | ** When Ezra and Sabine accidentally run into the Fifth Brother, he simply ignites his lightsaber and gives them a SlasherSmile. He also indicates a [[WouldHitAGirl willingness]] to [[SlashedThroat slit Sabine's throat]] with his lightsaber unless Ezra fakes a distress call to lure in Kanan and Ahsoka. |
| 139 | ** The Eighth Brother was definitely going to cut Ezra's fingers off to take the holocron, child or not. |
| 140 | ** Iskat held Eeth Koth's child by the head, and while not as actively malicious as the previous examples, that could hurt the baby. |
| 141 | * YouAreNumberSix: With the exception of the Grand Inquisitor, they're referred to by number. [[Recap/StarWarsRebelsS2E08TheFutureOfTheForce "The Future of the Force"]] indicates it's a ranking system, as the Fifth Brother emphasizes "Seventh" when he insists on leading the search, to the Seventh Sister's annoyance. Supported by implications in [[Recap/StarWarsRebelsS2E20TwilightOfTheApprenticePartII "Twilight of the Apprentice"]], when Seventh and Fifth decide to let Eighth confront the Jedi so to serve as bait. Seventh discusses this right after he leaves and both smirk, suggesting that they look down on him for being lower-ranked. |
| 142 | ** The other exceptions are Third Sister and Marrok, the former of whom 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]]. In the case of the latter, Marrok is always referred to by name, with no look down upon him by his allies. |
| 143 | * YouHaveOutlivedYourUsefulness: Heavily implied to be their ultimate fate, as by the Battle of Yavin they are no more. By the time of the First Order, Palpatine simply reflects they were outdated and irrelevant in ''Secrets of the Sith''. |

| 166 | ->''"I do so admire your persistence. Ready to die?"'' |
| 167 | |
| 168 | A former guardian of the Jedi Temple on Coruscant, the man who would become the Grand Inquisitor questioned his faith in the Jedi Order upon learning of Barriss Offee's justifications for bombing the sanctuary of the Jedi Order. He eventually fell to the Dark Side and willingly joined the Empire to advance their cause. He held the rank of Grand Inquisitor, making him the highest-ranked of the Inquisitors at the time.\ |
| 169 | |
| 170 | The Grand Inquisitor would directly serve under Darth Vader himself on several occasions, but was also tasked with disciplining the others beneath him -- who, like himself, were disaffected Jedi who disavowed their previous ideology. In the years leading up to the Galactic Civil War, this Inquisitor was directly tasked by Darth Vader to hunt down any remaining Jedi after Order 66, which would make him put him in conflict a Rebel Cell formed by a Jedi named Kanan Jarrus and his own Padawan. |
| 171 | ---- |
| 172 | * AliensOfLondon: He's a Pau'an who speaks with a pronounced British accent. |
| 173 | * AndIMustScream: Issue #6 of the 2020 run of the main comics reveals what he meant by "some things are more frightening than death": [[spoiler:As punishment for his failure in ''Rebels'', Vader used a Sith technique to bind his ghost to the Jedi Temple on Tempes to fight any Jedi stragglers trying to find answers there. Vader won't let him free until he redeems himself for his failure, and this being Vader (not to mention that the issue has Luke overcome him), it isn't happening any time soon. The Grand Inquisitor laments that he'll never be free of his punishment.]] |
| 174 | * AmbiguousSituation: With the way Inquisitorial rankings are considered in light of the events of ''Series/ObiWanKenobi'', it's not clear if he was originally the "First Brother" or not. |
| 175 | * ArcVillain: For the first season of ''Rebels''. Although subordinate to Vader and Tarkin, he's the most prominent antagonist to the ''Ghost'' crew, especially Kanan and Ezra, until his death in the finale, "Fire Across the Galaxy". |
| 176 | * AwesomenessByAnalysis: He is able to surmise quite a bit of information about his opponent by simply fighting them, such as how he knew Kanan specialized in Form III of Soresu. It helps that he analyzes any available information about his opponents before any skirmish. |
| 177 | * BadassBoast: The above quote, which is said to Ezra. In fact, most of his dialogue towards his opponents is some form of this. |
| 178 | * BadassCape: Wears one in ''Obi-Wan Kenobi''. Generally averted elsewhere. |
| 179 | * BaldOfEvil: [[JustifiedTrope Justified]]. He can't really help it, since Pau'ans can't grow hair. |
| 180 | * BeCarefulWhatYouWishFor: According to Palpatine, [[spoiler:he fell because as the Sentinel, [[{{Pride}} he was upset that someone of his skill]] still wasn't allowed access to the greater Jedi Archives, and he always wanted to do so because [[{{Greed}} he wants to learn more]]. As an Inquisitor, no one is stopping him from learning more (except for Palpatine), but at the cost of getting badly reprimanded if he fails his new masters.]] |
| 181 | * BenevolentBoss: Unlike other Imperials like Vader and Palpatine, Grand Inquisitor doesn't kill or, at the very least, brutally torture officers, stormtroopers, or other Inquisitors on a whim for failure or incompetence, and is far more polite and complementary towards them. He's even called Vader out for maiming other Inquisitors as he perceives the act as unnecessary. It's subverted when someone else takes command though, as not only is he not the boss anymore but he's also willing to carry out executions on their behalf, as seen when Tarkin has him behead Aresko and Grint for their incompetence. |
| 182 | * BetterToDieThanBeKilled: [[spoiler:In [[Recap/StarWarsRebelsS1E13FireAcrossTheGalaxy "Fire Across the Galaxy"]], he commits suicide rather than incur Vader's wrath.]] Made even worse in the main comics, where it turns out his death was pointless: [[spoiler:Vader turned him into a ghost, indefinitely bound to a trap for Jedi at the Tempes Jedi Temple as punishment for his failure until whenever Vader decides it's been enough.]] |
| 183 | * BlackEyesOfEvil: In ''Rebels'', his sclera are jet black, all but marking him as an antagonist. He has regular white sclera in ''Obi-Wan Kenobi''. |
| 184 | * BoringButPractical: He uses the Inquisitorius's gimmicky rotating lightsaber as just that, a gimmick to be used occasionally to get an advantage in certain situations. Normally, he relies on more standard swordplay to overcome his enemies. |
| 185 | * CoDragons: With Alexsandr Kallus and Minister Tua to Tarkin when he arrives on Lothal, though the Grand Inquisitor is the most dangerous of the three. |
| 186 | * ColdBloodedTorture: He comes close to torturing [[spoiler:Kanan]] to death with Kallus's help while under Tarkin's supervision. |
| 187 | * ColdHam: The Grand Inquisitor never raises his voice beyond a normal speaking tone in both ''Rebels'' and ''Obi-Wan Kenobi'', yet both his actors gleefully chew scenery with extreme gravitas. |
| 188 | * CombatAestheticist: He fights using the elegant but precise lightsaber form Makashi, which was famously the form used by Count Dooku. |
| 189 | * CombatPragmatist: He's a skilled swordsman, but if it serves his purposes he's not beyond just Force-throwing his opponents. |
| 190 | * CurbStompBattle: He was able to maintain the upper hand in his fight with Kanan without taking his opponent too seriously, although both Kanan and Ezra were able to escape. |
| 191 | * CurbstompCushion: When Vader attacks him in the Jedi Archives, he puts up a surprisingly decent fight before Vader stops holding back and disarms him with ease. |
| 192 | * DarkIsEvil: In contrast to Tion Medon, a Pau'an that was a heroic figure in spite of his creepy appearance, the Inquisitor is every bit as evil as he looks. |
| 193 | * DiscOneFinalBoss: [[spoiler:He's the most powerful threat to the crew of the ''Ghost'' in the first season, but he is ultimately killed off as the rebels face larger threats -- including Wilhuff Tarkin and Darth Vader.]] |
| 194 | * DisneyVillainDeath: [[spoiler:He drops himself into a burning reactor. The shot is angled from below, making sure his landing is off-camera.]] |
| 195 | * TheDragon: He's essentially Darth Vader's attack dog, but in the Outer Rim, he answers to Tarkin. He gets the most respect from Tarkin during the final arc of the first season and serves as his most direct enforcer. |
| 196 | * DragonInChief: While Tarkin has positional authority over him, he's a NonActionBigBad who abstains from direct combat while the Grand Inquisitor is treated as the more plot-relevant villain towards Kanan and Ezra. It's notable that the climax of the season's arc focuses on defeating him rather than Tarkin. |
| 197 | * TheDreaded: Made very clear by Ezra's visions of him constantly attacking him and killing Kanan in [[Recap/StarWarsRebelsS1E08PathOfTheJedi "Path of the Jedi"]]. He's also this to Kanan [[spoiler:until the season finale, and once Kanan overcomes his fear, he's submitted to a CurbStompBattle]]. |
| 198 | * DrivenToSuicide: See BetterToDieThanBeKilled. |
| 199 | * DualWielding: He disarms Kanan at one point and wields his lightsaber along with his own. |
| 200 | * EarlyBirdCameo: [[invoked]][[spoiler:WordOfGod was that he appeared in ''The Clone Wars'' masked as a Jedi Temple Guard, and was one of the guards who apprehended Barriss Offee and took her to Ahsoka's trial.]] |
| 201 | * EliteMooks: He has special forces units under his command, including his own squadron of TIE pilots with their own unique uniforms and noticeably improved combat performance over standard TIE pilots. There's the other Inquisitors as well. |
| 202 | * EvenEvilHasStandards: |
| 203 | ** He's pretty confused and angry when Palpatine gets him and Vader to meet by almost killing each other (or rather, [[CurbStompBattle almost killing the Grand Inquisitor]]) without explaining who the other is until Vader is about to finish off the Grand Inquisitor. |
| 204 | ** He protests against Vader [[spoiler:chopping off the arms of the other Inquisitors]], because he sees no point to it. |
| 205 | ** He also is unnerved by the Thirteenth Sister bringing back the heads of her enemies since the blood from them dirties up the mouse droids. |
| 206 | ** Even he's put off by the Third Sister's [[AxCrazy completely psychotic behavior]]. He's also angered by her [[spoiler:kidnapping a ten year old Leia as bait to lure out Obi-Wan]], presumably [[PragmaticVillainy out of concern for the backlash if the Senate gets wind of it]]. |
| 207 | * EveryoneCallsHimBarkeep: Promotional materials, and the official ''Star Wars'' Databank, simply refer to him as "the Inquisitor", even though his position is one that several others have. This is because he's the '''Grand''' Inquisitor. |
| 208 | * 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''.[[note]]For bonus points, both actors who voiced/portrayed the character were in ''[[Film/TheDeathOfStalin The Death of Stalin]]''[[/note]] |
| 209 | * EvilCostumeSwitch: [[spoiler:As the Sentinel, he wore white, pale grey, and gold armor, as opposed to the black and dark gray he wore as the Grand Inquisitor. His red facial tattoos were also an addition that followed his fall to the Dark Side.]] |
| 210 | * EvilGenius: He is highly intelligent and well-versed in information about his opponents, which he is able to utilize in an extremely effective manner. |
| 211 | * EvilSoundsDeep: Alternates between dulcet tones [[PretentiousPronunciation with elongated vowels]], and a fiery menacing baritone. |
| 212 | * ExactWords: Possibly. He tells Kanan that he knows about Depa Billaba's fighting style because "the Temple archives were quite complete." He doesn't actually say he learned it from those archives, however, and TheReveal that [[spoiler:he used to be a Temple Guard]] means that he could have known Billaba personally. |
| 213 | * {{Expy}}: His AwesomenessByAnalysis trait often earns him comparisons with [[Literature/TheThrawnTrilogy Grand Admiral Thrawn]], except as a Sith acolyte. This is notable in that he isn't the only expy of Thrawn in ''Rebels'', as Agent Kallus also shares traits with the Grand Admiral. Thrawn himself would later debut in the third season of ''Rebels''. |
| 214 | * FaceDeathWithDignity: [[spoiler:When he is defeated, he accepts his death calmly and falls to his demise.]] |
| 215 | * FacialMarkings: He has red tattoos on his face. [[spoiler:As the Sentinel, he only has the red marks on his cheeks, like other Pau'ans.]] |
| 216 | * FallenHero: As revealed by [[Recap/StarWarsRebelsS2E16ShroudOfDarkness "Shroud of Darkness"]], [[spoiler:he was a former Jedi Knight, and a Jedi Temple Guard]]. |
| 217 | * FateWorseThanDeath: Well aware of this trope, and it's why [[spoiler:he commits suicide rather than report back to Tarkin and Vader after being defeated by Kanan and causing the destruction of the former's Star Destroyer. In a cruel bit of irony, even death wouldn't prevent Vader from simply bounding the Inquisitor's spirit to a Jedi Temple on Tempes until Vader decides to let him go]]. |
| 218 | -->'''Inquisitor:''' There are some things far more frightening than death. |
| 219 | * FauxAffablyEvil: Is rather polite when dueling with Kanan and Ezra, though it's far from cordial. |
| 220 | -->'''Inquisitor:''' I do so admire your persistence. Ready to die? |
| 221 | * FreudianExcuse: Being a Jedi Temple Guard. Not only were they basically stuck watching the Jedi Temple for most of their lives, they were also denied any sort of individuality, wearing identical masks and uniforms, never referred to by their given names, and given identical lightsabers. Not to mention many Jedi, including Temple librarian Jocasta Nu considered Temple Guards a lower kind of Jedi, and inherently "unworthy" of learning certain things. |
| 222 | * FromNobodyToNightmare: Went from just another nameless Temple Guard to a highly efficient Jedi killer and leader of his organization, responding directly to Vader and Sidious themselves. |
| 223 | * TheHeavy: He's not the BigBad, but still the biggest and most frequent threat to the heroes in Season 1. |
| 224 | * HeroKiller: He's the one who murdered Luminara Unduli. |
| 225 | * HoistByHisOwnPetard: He goads Ezra into tapping into the Dark Side, which Ezra then uses to help himself and Kanan escape. |
| 226 | * IHatePastMe: [[spoiler:While he doesn't seem to remember everything, WistfulAmnesia kicks in when he sees a Jedi Temple Guard uniform, and he bitterly says that he remembers "lies".]] |
| 227 | * ImpaledWithExtremePrejudice: In ''Obi-Wan Kenobi'', the Grand Inquisitor's contempt for Reva and attempt to steal credit for Obi-Wan's capture sees her ignite her lightsaber through his stomach. [[SavedByCanon He survives]], but is left incapacitated. |
| 228 | * InkSuitActor: His appearance in ''Rebels'' looks a bit like his voice actor, Jason Isaacs. |
| 229 | * InTheHood: When he makes his chronological first appearance in the Darth Vader comic, he shows up wearing a cloak while accessing the Jedi Archives. |
| 230 | * JackBauerInterrogationTechnique: Inflicts this on Kanan in the last two episodes of Season 1. |
| 231 | * JediMindTrick: He has a forceful version that causes considerable pain while extracting information, [[spoiler:which he attempted to use on Kanan. Kanan let slip a few vague details, but his will held when the Inquisitor tried to dig for specifics.]] |
| 232 | * JoinOrDie: He's assigned to either corrupt any young Force sensitives he can find or kill them if he can't. |
| 233 | * JustToyingWithThem: He probably could have cut Kanan's head off if he really wanted to in his first duel with him, but he wanted him alive. |
| 234 | * KickThemWhileTheyreDown: In Episode 5 of ''Obi-Wan Kenobi'', [[spoiler:after Darth Vader defeats and seriously wounds the Third Sister after her failed attempt to assassinate him, Vader brings out the Grand Inquisitor, revealed to have survived her attempt to kill him, and both mock Third Sister for thinking they didn't already know who she was, what she was planning, and that they exploited her until they had no further use for her. The Grand Inquisitor further rubs salt in the wound by taking his badge of office from the wounded Reva and sneeringly mocks her dying in the gutter where she belongs in his mind]]. |
| 235 | -->'''Grand Inquisitor''': [[UnwittingPawn Your rage was useful]]. [[YouHaveOutlivedYourUsefulness Now, it is tiresome]]. We will leave you where we found you...[[PoliticallyIncorrectVillain in the gutter, where you belong]]. |
| 236 | * LeanAndMean: As a Pau'an, he's one of the tallest characters in ''Rebels''. [[TheBigGuy Zeb Orrelios]] is only taller than him by a tenth of a meter. Darth Vader is only taller than him by an ''inch'', and that is fully armored. |
| 237 | * LogicalWeakness: Being a Makashi duelist, he lacks physical force in his blows. This makes him more vulnerable to being overpowered by more aggressive duelists as seen during his final fight with Kanan, who decides to fight more offensively instead of defensively like in their past duels and ultimately defeats the Grand Inquisitor. |
| 238 | * LooksLikeOrlok: Bald, bone white skin, with bad yellowish teeth. His Sith eyes certainly help. |
| 239 | * ManOnFire: His spirit after death is perpetually on fire as a hangover of how he died. |
| 240 | * MasterSwordsman: Very knowledgeable regarding lightsaber-wielding, and initially effectively unbeatable in this regard. |
| 241 | * MeanBoss: In ''Obi-Wan Kenobi'', the Grand Inquisitor repeatedly talks down to Reva, calling her the least of the Inquisitors, criticising her reckless behavior ([[JerkassHasAPoint not unjustifiably]]), insults her for coming "from the gutter", and tries to steal the credit for Obi-Wan's capture from her. [[LaserGuidedKarma It gets him non-fatally, but painfully stabbed in the gut]]. |
| 242 | * MeaningfulName: His flagship is the Star Destroyer ''Relentless'', and relentless is what the Inquisitor is. |
| 243 | * MementoMacGuffin: Defied. [[spoiler:When he sees a Jedi Temple Guard uniform on display, he is reminded of something from his past, but he walks away and bitterly says that he only remembers "lies", so he's not too entirely keen on looking back at his life.]] |
| 244 | * MenacingStroll: Something he shares with Vader, though he is capable of running when he needs to. |
| 245 | * MookLieutenant: He holds the position of Grand Inquisitor, making him the highest-ranked of the Inquisitors, which would mean he was the boss of the other inquisitors shown. [[spoiler:After his incapacitation, there's a kind of power vacuum where the other Inquisitors try to usurp his title.]] |
| 246 | * MonochromaticEyes: [[spoiler:As the Sentinel, his eyes are pale grey.]] |
| 247 | * MyDeathIsJustTheBeginning: [[spoiler:Makes it very clear to Kanan that he has no idea what he has unleashed by triumphing over him and the Empire.]] |
| 248 | * MysteriousPast: We don't even know his name, much less how he came to be in service of Vader. [[Recap/StarWarsRebelsS2E16ShroudOfDarkness "Shroud of Darkness"]] clears up a bit of his story, but not much: he was once a Jedi Knight and a temple guardsman, although his fall to the dark side and rise to the position of Grand Inquisitor remain a mystery. WordOfGod says that his disillusionment can be traced back to him witnessing the proceedings of Ahsoka Tano's trial. In the comics, he cites the Jedi's "lies" as why he defected. |
| 249 | * NiceJobBreakingItHero: His backstory of falling because the Jedi refused to let him access the archives in full. As usual, the Order's tendency to suppress everything that might even remotely lead to the Dark Side comes back to bite them in the ass. |
| 250 | * NiceJobFixingItVillain: He essentially causes this in [[Recap/StarWarsRebelsS1E13FireAcrossTheGalaxy "Fire Across the Galaxy"]] by [[DisneyDeath seemingly killing Ezra]], then gloating about it to Kanan's face. |
| 251 | -->'''Kanan:''' That was a mistake.\ |
| 252 | '''Inquisitor:''' ''Why''? Because you have no one left to die for you?\ |
| 253 | ''[Kanan, using the Force, summons his lightsaber to his hand and ignites both of his weapons]''\ |
| 254 | '''Kanan:''' No… ''[[PreAssKickingOneLiner because I have nothing left to fear]]''! |
| 255 | * NoNameGiven: His real name is never mentioned -- [[spoiler:and as a vision that Kanan faces, he is only known as "The Sentinel"]]. |
| 256 | * ObviouslyEvil: While not all Pau'ans are bad, they tend to be unnerving in appearance. The Inquisitor, however, is every bit as evil as he looks. [[spoiler:We find out he was ''turned'', and that he used to be a noble Pau'an Jedi.]] |
| 257 | * OffWithHisHead: On Tarkin's orders, he beheads [[spoiler:Aresko and Grint for their failures]]. |
| 258 | * OnlyKnownByTheirNickname: "The Grand Inquisitor" is all we have. |
| 259 | * PoliticallyIncorrectVillain: In ''Obi-Wan Kenobi'', he is openly scornful of Third Sister because, unlike the rest of the Inquisitors (who are largely fallen Jedi), she came "from the gutter". He derides her ambition, saying nothing she does can "cover the stench" of her origins. Her power grants her a place in the Inquisitorius, but her origins mean she will never be allowed to rise in their ranks. [[spoiler:He also mocks the Third Sister after being mortally wounded by Vader for dying in the gutter where she belongs.]] |
| 260 | -->'''Fifth Brother''': ''[scornfully]'' She thinks she will gain favor by capturing Kenobi.\ |
| 261 | '''Grand Inquisitor''': Whatever power you are craving, it will not change what you are.\ |
| 262 | '''Third Sister''': And what is that?\ |
| 263 | '''Grand Inquisitor''': The ''least'' of us. [[RecruitedFromTheGutter You came to us from the gutter.]] Your ability gave you station, but all the power in the world can't mask the stench beneath. |
| 264 | * ThePowerOfHate: Attributes this to how he survived being stabbed [[spoiler:by the Third Sister]]. |
| 265 | -->'''Grand Inquisitor''': {{Revenge}} does wonders for the will to live, don't you think? |
| 266 | * {{Pride}}: According to Palpatine, [[spoiler:as a Sentinel, he believed he had enough skill to be merited entry into the greater Jedi Archives, which contributed to his fall to the Dark side.]] |
| 267 | * RedAndBlackAndEvilAllOver: The Inquisitor has gray skin with red FacialMarkings, wears [[EvilWearsBlack black armor]], and wields a [[DoubleWeapon double-bladed]] red lightsaber. |
| 268 | * TheRival: He serves as a recurring obstacle for Kanan that he has to overcome in the first season. |
| 269 | * RoyalRapier: When using only one blade, his sword looks like this and his fighting style ([[https://starwars.fandom.com/wiki/Form_II Makashi]], the same one practiced by Count Dooku) resembles fencing. |
| 270 | * ScaryTeeth: As a Pau'an, he has a bunch of needle-sharp teeth. Justified in-universe as Pau'ans are mostly carnivorous. |
| 271 | * SoftSpokenSadist: He has a very smooth, calm voice. |
| 272 | * StarterVillain: He was a credible threat in the beginning, but mostly because of his resources. He's nowhere near as dangerous as Darth Vader, who had similar resources but was also far more skilled and frighteningly intelligent than the Grand Inquisitor. |
| 273 | * StereotypeFlip: Though they look like bad guys, Pau'ans are generally a benevolent and peaceful race of people. Grand Inquisitor, however, is genuinely as malevolent and devious as his appearance would have you believe. |
| 274 | * SupernaturalGoldEyes: Symbolic of his allegiance to the Dark Side of the Force, he has yellow irises. [[spoiler:They used to be grey.]] |
| 275 | * VirtueIsWeakness: The Grand Inquisitor describes a Jedi's compassion as their biggest weakness, as it makes them easy to track for the likes of the Inquisitorius. |
| 276 | -->'''Inquisitor:''' In actuality I would say the Jedi hunt themselves. Do you know the key to hunting Jedi, friend? It is patience. Jedi cannot help what they are. Their compassion leaves a trail. |
| 277 | * WickedCultured: Surprisingly so. Despite his job and general appearance, he speaks with a refined British accent, spends all his free time furthering his own knowledge and even fights with the most "refined" lightsaber form -- Makashi, which bears a heavy resemblance to classic European fencing. |
| 278 | * WouldHurtAChild: One of his primary duties, aside from Jedi hunting is to locate Force-sensitive stormtrooper cadets, and force them into joining the torturous Inquisitor training program instead. Not to mention the whole "trying to kill a 14-year old Ezra Bridger"-thing. |
| 279 | * WorthyOpponent: At the end of the season, he relishes that by this point, Kanan and Ezra will be a fight worthy of his time. However, when Kanan faces him alone with dual lightsabers (and a pistol), the Inquisitor's slow smirk says it all about how he regards Kanan as this trope. Before their final clash, the Inquisitor gives Kanan the Makashi salute (much in the same vein as Count Dooku), a formal challenge of skill. Kanan returns it. |
| 280 | -->'''Inquisitor:''' At last, a fight that ''might'' be worthy of my time! |
| 281 | * WreckedWeapon: [[spoiler:Kanan splits his lightsaber in half. Turns out Vader did it a decade and a half ago too.]] |
| 282 | * YouDontLookLikeYou: His design in ''Obi-Wan Kenobi'' looks very toned down and simplified from his ''Rebels'' design, making him appear more like a pale human instead of a Pau'an. See [[https://www.cercatoridiatlantide.it/wp-content/uploads/2022/03/GrandeInquisitore_copertina.png here]] for comparison. |
| 283 | * YoungerMentorOlderDisciple: He's the only Inquisitor confirmed to be older than Darth Vader, as Vader was in his late 30s while he's in his mid-40s during the first season of ''Rebels''. |
| 284 | * YourSizeMayVary: He's shown to be rather tall in ''Rebels''. In fact, he is canonically listed as 1.98 meters tall, or roughly 6'6", making him nearly as tall as Darth Vader. In ''Obi-Wan Kenobi'', he's portrayed by the 6'1" Rupert Friend, and is several inches shorter than Vader when they're seen standing side-by-side in Part VI. |

| 300 | A former Jedi, now a vengeful and deceptive Inquisitor, embittered by the failures of the Jedi Order that she had trusted. She is sent to apprehend Jedi Padawan Cal Kestis after his survival is discovered. |
| 301 | ---- |
| 302 | * AceCustom: Flies a TIE Interceptor prototype instead of the TIE Advanced x1 favored by her mentors. |
| 303 | * AlliterativeName: '''S'''econd '''S'''ister. |
| 304 | * AmbiguouslyBrown: Has kind of a vaguely Middle Eastern appearance, but of course the actual Middle East is far far away. |
| 305 | * AndThatLittleGirlWasMe: [[spoiler:In the Imperial facility, she taunts Cal for trusting Cere, since she was such a failure that she got her naive Padawan killed. She then promptly reveals that she was in fact said Padawan.]] |
| 306 | -->'''Second Sister:''' She was weak. Cracked in an Imperial torture chair and surrendered the location of her naïve Padawan. [[spoiler:They would never have found me if it wasn't for her. She betrayed me!]] |
| 307 | * ArcVillain: For ''Jedi: Fallen Order''. Her arrival on Bracca forces Cal to reveal himself, which kicks off his adventure against the Empire. She remains the most [[TheHeavy persistent antagonist]] throughout the game, and her actions drive the main plot, but she is still reporting to the Grand Inquisitor and Darth Vader. |
| 308 | * BadassCape: She wears a red and black cape with the Empire's symbol printed on the sides. |
| 309 | * BeingTorturedMakesYouEvil: She was a Jedi tortured into Imperial servitude. |
| 310 | * TheBlank: The faceplate of her helmet is nearly featureless. |
| 311 | * BluntYes: This exchange with Prauf. |
| 312 | -->'''Prauf:''' I think it's time someone came forward. I've been working on this heap for a long time; way before the war. We refit and rebuilt ships. Best in the galaxy. Then came the Empire, and engineers became scrappers. The workers? They just started getting worked. But we all know the truth, we're just too afraid to say it: To the Empire, we're all just expendable. |
| 313 | -->'''Second Sister:''' [[PreMortemOneLiner Yes, you are]]. |
| 314 | * BookEnds: She's the [[HopelessBossFight first]] and [[FinalBoss last]] boss Cal fights in ''Fallen Order''. [[spoiler: Unless you count [[HopelessBossFight Vader]].]] |
| 315 | * BreakTheCutie: She used to be a good person until Order 66. The ColdBloodedTorture that she had to endure [[spoiler:as a result of her master giving up the hiding place of her and a group of Jedi younglings]] turned her into the killing machine she is today. |
| 316 | -->'''Cal:''' [[YouMonster You're a monster.]]\ |
| 317 | '''Second Sister:''' I am what [[spoiler:Cere]] made me. |
| 318 | * CoolHelmet: Her entire helmet is angular but also sleek and polished. [[spoiler:Sadly, she does not wear it long after TheReveal.]] |
| 319 | * CreepyMonotone: Due to being TheStoic, but the voice distortion compounds it. |
| 320 | * CreepyShadowedUndereyes: When unmasked, her eyes are creepily sunken. |
| 321 | * DarkAndTroubledPast: [[spoiler:Her master, Cere, hid her and the younglings they were with while she went off to distract the clone troopers during Order 66. She was supposed to come back... except she was caught, and under the torture of Vader himself, she broke and gave away the location of their hiding spot. Trilla was caught and tortured until she fell to the Dark Side and became an Inquisitor. While the fate of the younglings is never [[NothingIsScarier stated]], although she knows she failed to protect them.]] |
| 322 | * DeadpanSnarker: She always has a dry remark to make right before she attempts to kill someone. |
| 323 | -->'''Cal:''' I had a bad feeling I'd see you here.\ |
| 324 | '''Second Sister:''' Oh? How eerily prescient of you. I thought your greatest virtue was your dogged persistence as you stumble from one debacle to the next. |
| 325 | * DespairEventHorizon: She fell not only because she was tortured, but because [[spoiler:it wouldn't have happened if Cere didn't give up the hiding place of her and the younglings, and it's implied that the younglings were killed, meaning she isn't just fallen to the Dark Side in general, but out of RageAgainstTheMentor in particular.]] |
| 326 | * DistaffCounterpart: |
| 327 | ** She's pretty much a female Darth Vader. Dark, shadowy presence, SerialKiller of Jedi, artificially deep voice, [[spoiler:former Jedi who's turned to the Dark Side and fights their old master.]] Notably, however, [[spoiler:she dies just at the cusp of being redeemed [[EvilerThanThou at the hands of Darth Vader himself]], in another one of his many YouHaveFailedMe moments]]. |
| 328 | ** She also bears a number of similarities with Kylo Ren for many of the same reasons listed above. In particular, her turn to the Dark Side [[spoiler:was driven by the belief that her former master had betrayed her]], similar to how Kylo came to turn on Luke. [[spoiler:Though in her case she was actually betrayed by her master, unlike Kylo who assumed Luke betrayed him and didn’t let him explain himself.]] |
| 329 | * DramaticUnmask: [[spoiler:When she reveals herself to be Trilla.]] Notably, she never puts her helmet back on after TheReveal. |
| 330 | * EarlyBirdCameo: |
| 331 | ** She has an unnamed cameo in one panel of ''Darth Vader: Dark Lord of the Sith''. |
| 332 | ** She is mentioned in ''The Dark Side'', [[NoExportForYou which is currently only available in Spanish]]. |
| 333 | * EtTuBrute: [[spoiler:She's bitter over being given up by her master to the Empire.]] |
| 334 | * EvilBrit: Like many Imperials, she has an English accent. |
| 335 | * EvilerThanThou: Ultimately for all her dark deeds and skill in combat, the Second Sister is a mere pawn of the Sith. [[spoiler:Trilla is utterly terrified of Vader, the galaxy's most infamous Jedi hunter, and is casually slain by him when she fails to defeat Cal.]] |
| 336 | * EvilSoundsDeep: Like Vader, she has a voice changer that deepens her voice. It also distorts it, similar to Kylo Ren but even moreso. |
| 337 | * FaceDeathWithDignity: After losing against Cal for the final time and [[spoiler:seeing Vader come up behind her to punish her for failure]], she calmly accepts her fate after telling Cal and Cere to avenge victims like her. |
| 338 | * ForceAndFinesse: Of the duo of Inquisitors pursuing Cal throughout ''Fallen Order'', she is the fast, nimble, and graceful Finesse to the giant, brutish [[BrawnHilda Ninth Sister's]] Force. |
| 339 | * {{Forgiveness}}: [[spoiler:After Cal defeats her on Fortress, Cere apologizes to her for failing her. Trilla just responds that she held so much hate for her, but [[YouHaveFailedMe Vader's arrival]] doesn't give her much time to properly accept or reject Cere's apology, though her last words as she accepts her death are telling Cal to avenge her, putting aside any animosity she had for him and possibly Cere.]] |
| 340 | * FreudianExcuse: One of the many victims of Order 66. |
| 341 | * GeniusBruiser: An expert lightsaber duelist with a preternatural ability to predict the behavior of her prey. |
| 342 | * HalfTheManHeUsedToBe: [[spoiler:[[GoryDiscretionShot While not outright shown]], it is quite strongly implied Darth Vader's killing blow against her resulted in this, given the nature of lightsabers.]] |
| 343 | * HartmanHips: She has a small waist with hips that are as wide as her shoulders. |
| 344 | * TheHeavy: Of ''Jedi: Fallen Order''. While she is the main threat faced, it is abundantly clear to everyone involved that she is just the face of the larger threat of the Empire itself. |
| 345 | * HeelFaceDoorSlam: After her defeat, she seems to seriously consider Cere's offer for redemption, [[spoiler:only for her to be cut down by Darth Vader]]. |
| 346 | * {{Leitmotif}}: Many of her scenes are accompanied with a sinister, high-pitched violin. |
| 347 | * MaamShock: It seems not even Dark Jedi are immune to this, though the Second Sister was more annoyed with not being addressed by her proper rank. |
| 348 | -->'''Commander Atty:''' The planet has been pacified, but for some reason, [[TheRemnant there's one last pocket of resistance in this region]]. Nothing we can't handle, ma'am.\ |
| 349 | '''Second Sister:''' ''[=[=][[ForceChoke Force-chokes]] him]'' You will refer to me as Inquisitor. [[LampshadeHanging And if you could handle it, Commander, I would not be here]]. |
| 350 | * MeaningfulName: [[spoiler:"Trilla" means fall in Swedish.]] |
| 351 | * MiseryBuildsCharacter: Invoked during her final duel with Cal, him having seen how [[BeingTorturedMakesYouEvil she became an Inquisitor]]. |
| 352 | -->'''Cal Kestis''': [[spoiler:Trilla]], [[SeeingThroughAnothersEyes I saw what you went through]]. You've experienced great suffering, but it's not too late to let go.\ |
| 353 | '''Second Sister''': ''Let go''? I'm stronger ''because'' of the pain! |
| 354 | * NiceJobFixingItVillain: Her [[KickTheDog cold-blooded murder of Prauf]] for [[DisproportionateRetribution disparaging the Empire]] ensures the Empire no longer has any leverage to force Cal to surrender and inspires him to join the fight against the Empire in honour of Prauf's [[HeroicSacrifice sacrifice]], with detrimental consequence for both the Empire and the Second Sister personally. |
| 355 | * NormalFishInATinyPond: She is a mere Inquisitor and doesn't even seem strong enough to compete for the title of Grand Inquisitor, but since the enemies she faces are Cal Kestis (a talented but inexperienced Jedi) and Cere Junda ( a Jedi Knight), she poses a great threat to both of them. |
| 356 | * OhCrap: [[spoiler:She begins to have a nervous breakdown upon sensing Darth Vader's presence through the force a moment before his signature breathing can be heard by us, as she knows ''[[YouHaveFailedMe exactly]]'' what it means. She composes herself enough to die with some dignity, however.]] |
| 357 | * PleaseDontLeaveMe: [[spoiler:During Order 66, when Cere goes off to distract the clones while Trilla and the younglings remain hidden, she cries out to her master not to leave them.]] |
| 358 | * TheQuietOne: |
| 359 | ** Compared to the rest of the Inquisitors, she doesn't seem to bother with the pleasantries and goes straight to trying to pursue and apprehend her targets. In her cameo appearance in ''Dark Lord of the Sith'', she doesn't even say anything and leaves a room full of relaxing Inquisitors. |
| 360 | ** Subverted once she reveals her true identity, as she becomes surprisingly chatty in subsequent encounters with Cal, even going so far as to slice Cal's communication one mission just so she can gloat over the radio. |
| 361 | * RageAgainstTheMentor: [[spoiler:The vast majority of her rage is geared ''directly'' at Cere Junda for her actions leading to Trilla's capture and torture in the first place.]] |
| 362 | * RedAndBlackAndEvilAllOver: Her suit is very Vader-esque, but made unique with a red visor and red cape trimmings. |
| 363 | * RedemptionRejection: [[spoiler:Possibly. She definitely looks conflicted when Care apologizes and tries to appeal to her, but her last words to Cere are "I've carried so much hate for you" before Vader kills her.]] |
| 364 | * RelativeButton: She invokes the spirit of this by mocking Cal's late master, Jaro Tapal, and playing on Cal's insecurities that his master would disapprove of his actions. |
| 365 | -->'''Second Sister''': What would Jaro Tapal say?\ |
| 366 | '''Cal Kestis''': ''[furious]'' You have ''no right'' to mention his name!\ |
| 367 | '''Second Sister''': I wonder, what would he think if he could see his Padawan now? Skulking in the shadows with a betrayer, granting her access to a legion of impressionable students...\ |
| 368 | '''Cal Kestis''': No, I won't let anyone touch them.\ |
| 369 | '''Second Sister''': [[NotSoDifferentRemark I thought the same thing once]]. |
| 370 | * SheWhoFightsMonsters: [[spoiler:Taunts Cal by telling him that he can't protect the Force-sensitive kids listed on Cordova's holocron because she couldn't protect the younglings she was with during Order 66]]. |
| 371 | * SinisterSchnoz: Has a hooked nose similar to Kylo Ren. |
| 372 | * TheSmartGuy: She is described as such by WordOfGod. |
| 373 | * SmugSnake: ''Weaponized.'' When fighting Cal, she condescendingly and casually critiques his fighting technique in order to trip him up. It's also clear she doesn't ''need'' to and she's just toying with her prey. |
| 374 | -->'''Second Sister:''' I recognize that stance. Perhaps you've had some training after all. Who was your master, Padawan? Someone I killed, perhaps? What Jedi gave their life so that you might live? |
| 375 | * TheStarscream: [[DownplayedTrope Subtle and easy to miss]], but it's implied that she hopes finding Cordova's holocron will curry enough favor with the Emperor that she can displace the Grand Inquisitor and Darth Vader as leader of the Inquisitorious. |
| 376 | -->'''Cal Kesitis''': You should have killed me on Bracca.\ |
| 377 | '''Second Sister''': A scant mercy. I wagered one meaningless Padawan against a prize that will win me the Emperor's favour. |
| 378 | * TheStoic: Never raises her voice. Until her VillainousBreakdown. |
| 379 | * SuperPersistentPredator: While pursuing Cal, she jumps onto his ship in mid-flight and attempts to bring it down with her Force powers. |
| 380 | * TheyCallMeMisterTibbs: Insists on by addressed by her proper rank, not sir, and definitely not ma'am. |
| 381 | * TheyLookJustLikeEveryoneElse: Unlike the other alien Inquisitors introduced beforehand, Trilla is revealed to be a rather beautiful young woman underneath her helmet. |
| 382 | * TogetherInDeath: [[spoiler:Five years after her death, when Cere is dying from her mortal wound at Vader's hand, her former master says her name, suggesting the two are about to be reunited.]] |
| 383 | * TokenHuman: [[spoiler:As Trilla, she's one of only two known human Inquisitors shown so far.]] |
| 384 | * VillainousBreakdown: In ''Jedi: Fallen Order'', she loses her composure when she is faced with [[spoiler:Cere Junda, her former master, without her own helmet on after losing a duel against Cal]]. |
| 385 | * VillainousBSOD: [[spoiler:Seems on the verge of finally breaking through her conditioning when talking with Cere in Fortress Inquisitorius... [[HeelFaceDoorSlam but Vader makes sure she can't act on it]]]]. |
| 386 | * WakeUpCallBoss: Have you not gotten the hang of parrying yet? Well, Second Sister will make sure that you do. |
| 387 | * WoobieDestroyerOfWorlds: She's a ruthless Inquisitor, but it's hard not to feel bad for her [[spoiler:considering that she was horrifically tortured by the Empire and sold out by her own master.]] |
| 388 | * YankTheDogsChain: [[spoiler:After Cere apologizes to her for leaving her no other choice but to become an Inquisitor, she's given the opportunity to return to the Light Side. Her ability to choose her destiny is promptly [[YouHaveFailedMe stolen away by Vader]].]] |
| 389 | * YouHaveFailedMe: [[spoiler:Darth Vader executes her personally after she is defeated by Cal at Fortress Inquisitorius.]] |

| 398 | ->'''Appearances:''' ''Series/ObiWanKenobi'' |
| 399 | |
| 400 | ->''"The Jedi are cowards. They failed you, abandoned you. There is no point in protecting them."'' |
| 401 | |
| 402 | An Inquisitor tasked with finding Jedi on Tatooine. She dedicates her time to find Obi-Wan Kenobi, in hopes of gaining favor with Darth Vader. |
| 403 | ---- |
| 404 | * AllForNothing: [[spoiler:She willingly gave into the Dark Side and spent years committing atrocities and allowing her hatred to fester so that she could get close to Vader and kill him. When she finally gets the chance to, Vader reveals that he always knew about her plan and quickly disposes of her, not even considering her a threat.]] |
| 405 | * AmbitionIsEvil: She is ''driven'' to hunt Kenobi. At first it is unclear how personal her hatred for Kenobi is, but at least one strong motive is she's doing it because she wants to curry favor with Vader by bringing him Kenobi. Part V reveals almost all of her actions are indeed to get close to Vader, [[spoiler:so that she can kill him]]. |
| 406 | * AmbiguousSituation: Reva's motivations for her actions in Part VI of ''Obi-Wan Kenobi'' leave a lot to interpretation. [[spoiler:Did she put it together that the boy Owen Lars is raising is Darth Vader's son, and targeting him to get RevengeByProxy, or is she unaware of the connection and targeting him simply to make Obi-Wan Kenobi suffer for his failure to stop Anakin Skywalker's fall to evil?]] Nothing Reva says or does makes this clear, particularly since [[spoiler:she didn't seem to know about Owen's relationship with Luke to begin with, was unaware of any connection between Luke and Anakin, and only seems to know that he's adopted, on top of only targeting Leia because she knew that Obi-Wan and Bail were close friends]]. |
| 407 | * AsskickingLeadsToLeadership: Deconstructed. Reva has made it up the Inquisitors' ladder due to her abilities, but is barely tolerated due to her background as a StreetUrchin and her trigger-happy behavior getting in the way of finding Jedi. [[spoiler:Then it turns out that Vader knew she was planning on using those skills to get close to him and kill him, which gets her a lightsaber through the torso for her troubles.]] |
| 408 | * AxCrazy: [[EvenEvilHasStandards Even the other Inquisitors disapprove of her violence and recklessness]]. While questioning the townspeople of Anchorhead, she cuts off a random woman's hand just to make a point, and threatens to slaughter Owen Lars and his family to try and make a crowd of people surrender some information. |
| 409 | -->'''Third Sister:''' You protect your family. I like that, Owen. It's important... You think you could protect them from me?\ |
| 410 | '''Owen:''' Hm.\ |
| 411 | '''Third Sister: TELL ME WHERE THE JEDI IS OR THIS MAN AND HIS FAMILY DIE!''' |
| 412 | * BatmanGambit: |
| 413 | ** She hires a bunch of spice runners to kidnap Leia in the hopes that Bail Organa will call on Obi-Wan to help his beloved daughter. Having dug through obscure archives to get the information necessary to do so. The plan works, but the criminals underestimate Obi-Wan and Reva's argument with the Grand Inquisitor allows him to escape. |
| 414 | ** Her entire scheme for the series is this--curry favor with Vader, then [[spoiler:get close enough to kill him]], by using Obi-Wan as a distraction, knowing he hates the man with such a passion that he'll drop everything to kill the one responsible for his current condition. [[spoiler:It fails miserably, as Vader knew what she was up to all along.]] |
| 415 | * BeCarefulWhatYouWishFor: She sought to curry favor with Vader as part of her ambitions, clearly hoping to have a close working relationship with him. [[spoiler:All so she could get close enough to kill him, but despite having the perfect opportunity, it’s not enough. Vader easily defeats her and mockingly wonders how she ever thought she could trick him.]] |
| 416 | * BigBadWannabe: Fancies herself a NoNonsenseNemesis for Obi-Wan and other Jedi, aggressively pursuing any target she comes across to the point she orchestrates a kidnapping of Leia just to draw Obi-Wan out of hiding. It becomes clear she's little more than just another cog in the Empire's machine. [[spoiler:[[PlayingWithATrope Played with]] in the sense that she was ''never'' interested in actually serving the Empire, but wanted an opportunity to get close to Darth Vader and kill him for what he did to her and her friends. She also ultimately fails at trying to betray and kill Vader, for whom it takes barely any effort to subdue and severely wound her. It’s also revealed that both Vader and the Grand Inquisitor had been playing her from the beginning and she didn’t succeed in offing and replacing the latter like she thought she did. In the end, the only times she comes off as threatening are when she's up against powerless civilians, dispirited Jedi, or children.]] |
| 417 | * BifurcatedWeapon: Reva's lightsaber can be split into two functional weapons, [[spoiler:though this feature is only used once, and even then, it's ''against'' Reva; after disarming her, Vader splits her lightsaber and [[LetsFightLikeGentlemen gives her half]] so she can [[JustToyingWithThem try]] to fight him blade-to-blade.]] |
| 418 | * BreakTheHaughty: She thought herself to be an excellent manipulator who managed to worm her way up to the position of Grand Inquisitor with only some minor hiccups. [[spoiler:Then she tries to enact her true plan to assassinate Vader and Vader throws it in her face that she was never in control. Vader spends the entire fight toying with her before stabbing her and leaving her for dead, considering her not even threatening enough to finish off.]] |
| 419 | * CrazyPrepared: Despite the sheer unlikelihood of escape from Fortress Inquisitorius, [[spoiler:the Third Sister is cunning enough to implant a tracking device in Leia's personal droid LOLA so she can be tracked after Obi-Wan rescues her. It's literally the only thing that keeps Vader from [[YouHaveFailedMe killing her for letting Obi-Wan escape]]]]. |
| 420 | * CurbStompBattle: On the receiving end of it. [[spoiler:When she tries to kill Vader, he's barely 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.]] |
| 421 | * DarkAndTroubledPast: [[spoiler:She is the sole survivor of the younglings killed by Anakin Skywalker. She faked being dead and hid under the bodies of her friends.]] It's also implied that she spent time afterwards homeless due to the Grand Inquisitor's derogatory comments about her coming from "the gutter". |
| 422 | * {{Determinator}}: She won't stop until she has achieved her goal of [[spoiler:killing Darth Vader and avenging her friends who died during Order 66]]. |
| 423 | * DidntThinkThisThrough: [[spoiler:In her attempt to assassinate Vader, Reva assumed that the Sith Lord would be too distracted by Obi-Wan's escape to notice her, and tried to kill him by igniting her lightsaber and trying to cut him down from behind. Unfortunately for Reva, Vader saw it coming a mile away, having always known of her motives. To her credit, she doesn't give up without a fight, but given Vader's own might (already proven to dwarf Reva's), said fight is very much not in her favor.]] |
| 424 | * DisproportionateRetribution: She usually responds to all slights against her person with violence, and if she doesn't, it's because she's planning to inflict harm ''later''. [[AnArmAndALeg This is best seen by how Reva dismembers a woman]] who claims the Empire doesn't have authority in the Outer Rim Territories. This tendency to immediately resort to violence is one of the reasons why [[PragmaticVillainy the other Inquisitors can't stand her]]. |
| 425 | * TheDogBitesBack: Downplayed; while some of the Grand Inquisitor's criticisms of Reva are spot-on, his insulting her standing and origins is uncalled for, and Reva repays this snobbery by stabbing the Grand Inquisitor in the second episode of ''Obi-Wan Kenobi''. The Grand Inquisitor [[SavedByCanon survives]], but it's a painful reprisal all the same. [[spoiler:She tries to do this to Vader in revenge for his attack on the Jedi temple and killing her friends, but it does not go well at all.]] |
| 426 | * DoomedByCanon: |
| 427 | ** Ultimately {{subverted|Trope}}. [[spoiler:Reva survives through to the end of ''Kenobi'', complete with her going through a HeelFaceTurn at the end. Though whether or not she'll survive from her wounds [[UncertainDoom remains to be seen]].]] |
| 428 | ** Played straight with her plan to [[spoiler:kill Darth Vader. Given how the series is a prequel to the original trilogy where Vader is a major character, her plan was never going to succeed. To make matters worse, Vader knew of her plan all along and was only using her to track down Obi-Wan.]] |
| 429 | * EnemyMine: Advocates using [[HiredGuns bounty hunters]] and criminals to flush Obi-Wan into the open for the Inquisitorius. |
| 430 | -->'''Third Sister''': I want every bounty hunter and lowlife to squeeze him. |
| 431 | * EvenEvilHasStandards: Despite her propensity toward violence, even she is deeply disturbed at the depths of Vader's sheer cruelty as he casually slaughters villagers, including children, in order to draw Obi-Wan out of hiding. [[spoiler:Considering her past and her true goals, and her inability to actually kill Luke despite having him at her mercy, it's likely her earlier threats were empty and meant for intimidation.]] |
| 432 | * EvilVsEvil: [[spoiler:She may have been once a Jedi who wishes to slay Darth Vader, but her desire for revenge and impulsiveness makes her a pretty villainous and ruthless person, far from the Jedi ideas she was once training towards, and she has no qualms with harming innocents to get what she wants.]] |
| 433 | * FatalFlaw: Single-mindedness and impulsiveness. She has a razor focus on a goal which can result in her acting very impulsively as well as disregarding potential consequences of her attempts to achieve it. More often than not her plans ultimately end up being undone by her own rash behavior. She also arrogantly lets herself believe that her status as an Inquisitor means she can do whatever she wants regardless of consequences. [[spoiler:Vader shows her otherwise, and she's left for dead as a result.]] |
| 434 | * FauxAffablyEvil: While talking to Owen, Reva turns on the charm, complimenting him on his desire to protect his family. She then openly threatens to slaughter said family if a crowd of people doesn't speak up on a Jedi's location. |
| 435 | * FromNobodyToNightmare: Came from the "gutter" to being a terrifying force for the Empire. |
| 436 | * TheFriendNobodyLikes: The rest of the Inquisitorius barely tolerates her loose cannon nature, constantly warning her not to punch above her weight and noting she's only made it this far because of her talents. This contempt more stems from her lower class background, as she came "from the gutter", judging from the contemptuous "you can never be rid of the stench from whence you came" comment in Episode 2 of ''Obi-Wan Kenobi.'' Worth noting is that both the Grand Inquisitor and Fifth Brother have each referred to her by her given name (as opposed to every other Inquisitor, who is addressed by either their rank or as simply "Inquisitor"), emphasizing their opinion that she isn't really one of them. |
| 437 | * GeniusBruiser: While her ambition and pride can get in the way, Reva over the course of ''Obi-Wan Kenobi'' pulls off several {{Batman Gambit}}s which have far more success than anyone else over a decade has had against Obi-Wan. She is also able to discretely implement a tracking device on a droid and she has a good at picking up when someone isn't telling her the truth, even if understandably not necessarily the details of the lie. |
| 438 | * HairTriggerTemper: While the Grand Inquisitor is okay with violence and torture "within reason", the Third Sister tends to resort to the very violent stick before offering the reward of a carrot as a first resort. When they find a hidden Jedi, she has to be physically stopped from just cutting him in half on the spot without interrogation. The rest of the Inquisitors spend more time in the first two episodes trying to hold her back than actually doing the job. [[spoiler:The reveal that Reva '''never''' wanted to serve the Empire in the first place and only sees her duties as a means to an end brings the possibility that she wanted to MercyKill the renegade Jedi -- who was certainly doomed, surrounded by Inquisitors -- instead of being taken in for a painful interrogation and execution]]. |
| 439 | * HarmfulToMinors: The root cause of her psychotic personality in the present is the childhood trauma of [[spoiler:watching the newly christened Darth Vader slaughter all of her friends during Order 66, forcing her to hide among their corpses to survive]]. |
| 440 | * TheHeavy: Her drive to find Obi-Wan sets into motion the events of his eponymous series, as most of the Inquisitorious' efforts to hunt Vader's former master result from her ingenuity. |
| 441 | * HeelFaceTurn: [[spoiler:When given the chance to kill Luke, Reva ultimately decides to spare the boy, having come to terms that she'd be no better than the man that ruined her life all those years ago. Obi-Wan's [[YouAreBetterThanYouThinkYouAre words of encouragement]] also get through to her, concluding with her leaving behind her Inquisitor lightsaber and moving on to make her own luck.]] |
| 442 | * HerOwnWorstEnemy: She is actually cunning enough to be a dangerous tracker, employing tactics that the other more straightforward Inquisitors wouldn't consider. Fortunately, her HairTriggerTemper and pride mean that she winds up giving those she's pursuing the openings they need to escape, as her patience flies out the window the moment she's close enough to what she wants. |
| 443 | * HoistByHerOwnPetard: Vader [[spoiler:defeats her by stabbing her in the chest with her own lightsaber at the end of their fight, never bothering to use his own lightsaber because, unlike with Obi-Wan, he doesn't see her as a worthy opponent.]] |
| 444 | * HunterOfHisOwnKind: Implied to be a turncoat Jedi Youngling or Padawan, judging the derisive comments from the Grand Inquisitor concerning the "stench" of her origins; her mockingly shouting "Anakin Skywalker is still alive!" is further proof that she knew who Lord Vader was before his fall from grace due to her having grown up in the Jedi Temple on Coruscant. [[spoiler:Turns out that she was a Youngling who witnessed Anakin slaughtering her friends. She willingly became this trope so that she could get close to Vader and kill him in revenge.]] |
| 445 | * InferioritySuperiorityComplex: Very prideful, but [[spoiler:feeling like she had been left to die as a child and the scorn she has received ever since has clearly had an effect on her]]. |
| 446 | * ItsPersonal: [[spoiler:She hunts Obi-wan because of two reasons. One, it's a quick way to earn Vader's trust and two, he is one of two people she blames for the fall of the Jedi and the death of her friends, with the second person being Vader himself who she also plans on killing.]] |
| 447 | * LaserGuidedKarma: |
| 448 | ** [[spoiler:After she fails to assassinate Vader, he stabs her through the gut in the same position she had stabbed the Grand Inquisitor. Downplayed, since for all her crimes, Reva is ultimately a victim of the Empire and the Grand Inquisitor was far more evil than she is.]] |
| 449 | ** [[spoiler:Almost on the giving end with Vader's son, Luke. As a child, she was hunted down and nearly killed by Anakin Skywalker. Thus, it's tragically poetic that as an adult, she hunted down and nearly killed Luke Skywalker as a child. However, her decision to spare Luke rather than give in to her hatred sparked a greater karma for the galaxy, as Luke would be the one to ultimately redeem Vader back to the Light and bring down the Empire.]] |
| 450 | * LoneWolfBoss: By the end of ''Obi-Wan Kenobi'', [[spoiler:she's overplayed her hand against Darth Vader and outlived her usefulness, costing her the support of the Empire and the Inquisitorus. In her final battle, she's basically a lone renegade madwoman attacking the Lars homestead to spite Obi-Wan.]] |
| 451 | * MisplacedRetribution: Her hatred of Obi-Wan becomes this when her past is revealed: [[spoiler:she blames him for not only failing to come to her and her friends' rescue but as Anakin's master places almost as much blame on him as she does Anakin for the death of the only family she knew. This is despite the fact that Obi-Wan was off-world at the time and didn't know what Anakin had done until well-after the massacre had already happened. That said she had absolutely no way of knowing Obi-Wan’s being off world or extent of ignorance, with her directly asking as an adult where he was when everything happened.]] |
| 452 | * MoralMyopia: She [[spoiler:wants revenge on Darth Vader for killing her fellow Younglings, whom she regarded as her only family]], but she spends much of the series threatening other people's families. [[spoiler:It’s when she fails and gives up on her revenge scheme that she realizes the error of her ways.]] |
| 453 | * MoreDeadlyThanTheMale: Within the context of the ''Obi-Wan Kenobi'' series, she is far more volatile and aggressive than her fellow male Inquistors. She's also the only Inquisitor thus far who is willing to employ the services of those outside of the Empire, meaning her reach is far greater. It's downplayed in that she can be problematic to her own side, as she's entirely willing to undermine their efforts to further her own ambitions. [[spoiler:Then again, Part V confirms that she never considered them her side but rather a means to the end for what she was really trying to gun for.]] |
| 454 | * NiceJobFixingItVillain: Her decision to stab the Grand Inquisitor just as he was about to flush Obi-Wan out of his hiding spot allows Obi-Wan to successfully escape, and it takes a powerful Inquisitor out of commission in the process. [[spoiler:Part V provides new context to this, however, with the reveal that the hunt for Obi-Wan is a crucial part of her actual plan and reason to curry as much favour as possible, which the Grand Inquisitor's credit steal threatened to ruin her chances of if he had succeeded. For her to win she needed him down.]] |
| 455 | * NoRespectGuy: Reva's aggressive tactics and reckless behavior earn her little esteem from her fellow Inquisitors. The Grand Inquisitor, in particular, is dismissive of her, tries to steal the credit for Obi-Wan's potential capture, and tells Reva to her face that he considers her the least of the Inquisitorius. That said it is outright said that she never had any before this, being insulted as having been found in the gutter -- so a lot of the other behavior may well have started from that. |
| 456 | * NormalFishInATinyPond: Being a Force-user in a galaxy nearly devoid of Jedi gives Reva an unbeatable advantage against most opponents, but against other trained Force-sensitives, she noticeably struggles; [[spoiler:she only manages to disable the Grand Inquisitor (who can stop her mid-strike with little difficulty) through a sneak attack, Fifth Brother can telekinetically pin her without much trouble, and Vader is worlds beyond her in terms of power, with their duel being painfully one-sided in the Sith Lord's favor (by contrast, Obi-Wan, despite losing his initial fight with Vader in Part III, did manage to hold his own briefly, and pulled through to defeat Vader when they fought again in Part VI).]] |
| 457 | * NotWorthKilling: [[spoiler:On the receiving end of this trope. Vader and the Grand Inquisitor decide to leave her as they found her--in the gutter--because they knew she was trying to get close to the former and kill him out of revenge for killing her fellow younglings. Not only did they see it coming, they didn't even bother dealing with her until they had a poetic moment to punish her for her treachery. They don't even deliver a killing blow, showing just how little of a threat they consider her.]] |
| 458 | * OlderHeroVsYoungerVillain: The Younger Villain to Obi-Wan's Older Hero as she was only a youngling when Order 66 happened while Obi-Wan was a Jedi Master pushing 40 at the time. |
| 459 | * OutGambitted: [[spoiler:She thought she could outsmart Darth Vader and get close enough to kill him, using Obi-Wan as a distraction to cloud his judgement. She gravely underestimated him, as he not only knew what she was doing from the beginning, he considers her far beneath him to even bother using his own lightsaber against her when she tries her assassination attempt. He just wipes the floor with her and leaves her for dead, not even bothering to finish her off.]] |
| 460 | * PlotParallel: |
| 461 | ** 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). |
| 462 | ** Additionally, she also shares some plot parallels with Cal Kestis, the main protagonist of ''[[VideoGame/StarWarsJediFallenOrder Jedi: Fallen Order]]''. Both characters were survivors of Order 66, with their mentors (and friends) slain before them, both characters are traumatized by the affair and have an inability to move on until they come face to face with their demons, their respective encounters with Darth Vader end in defeat (Cal being lucky that Cere and BD-1 were there to help him escape), and to top it all off, both also wield double-bladed lightsabers that can split apart at will. All the more interesting when her immediate predecessor, Trilla Suduri, was an enemy to Cal. |
| 463 | * ThePowerOfHate: [[spoiler:She was stabbed by Darth Vader at the Jedi Temple, but was able to survive due to this. Hatred and a determination to avenge her family and herself proceeded to then drive her for over a decade. History repeated itself a decade later on Jabiim during her attempted betrayal of Vader, who again stabs her and leaves her for dead and she survives ''that'' as well.]] |
| 464 | * {{Pride}}: Reva is very arrogant, something the Grand Inquisitor strongly implies may be a coping mechanism for a disadvantaged background and considers power and prestige to be what she's "owed". Her desire to capture Obi-Wan for Vader is driven by her belief that doing so will win Vader's esteem and approval, and she's even willing to stab the Grand Inquisitor to make sure she gets all the credit for it. |
| 465 | * PsychopathicWomanchild: What ultimately holds her back from using her actually impressive planning abilities to their fullest potential is the fact that she has the temper and impulse control of a moody teenager, as she quickly grows violent against slights in a way not dissimilar to throwing a tantrum. [[spoiler:The way her confrontation with Vader concludes suggests that she never grew beyond the trauma of watching him slaughter her friends.]] |
| 466 | * RedemptionEarnsLife: [[spoiler:She cannot bring herself to murder Luke and shortly afterwards renounces her Dark Side ways, allowing her to leave the series with her life.]] |
| 467 | * {{Revenge}}: [[spoiler:In the end, this is the core of Reva's ambitions, seeking to kill Vader as retribution for the slaughter of her fellow younglings during Order 66. Unfortunately, in the pursuit of this, she wound up nearly as evil and cruel as the one she sought to destroy, and gets her own lightsaber to the gut for her efforts.]] |
| 468 | * RevengeByProxy: [[spoiler:When she puts together that "the boy" on Tatooine is Vader's son, and that Vader is too powerful to kill, she goes after Luke instead, hoping to get some amount of "justice" for Vader's crimes. She gets to the point where Luke is unconscious on the ground in front of her, but can't bring herself to kill him, realizing that she has become what she hates the most]]. |
| 469 | * SecretKeeper: She's one of the few people who knows that Darth Vader is Anakin Skywalker. The reason why she knows this is revealed in Part V: [[spoiler:She was a Youngling who witnessed Anakin slaughtering the Jedi at the temple and was stabbed in the gut by him]]. |
| 470 | * SecretSecretKeeper: [[spoiler:Implied. When Reva hears of a boy Obi-Wan and Owen are protecting on Tatooine, she travels to Tatooine with the clear intention to kill Luke. While it's possible that she somehow figured out that Luke had a connection to Vader, it's also likely that she did it to spite Obi-Wan, the man who created Vader. She corners an unconscious Luke on Tatooine, her memories of Order 66 come flooding right back, and she starts seeing flashes of Anakin's face and her young self imposed on Luke's. If she realizes that the boy she's after is Vader's son, then it's a secret she's keeping to herself.]] |
| 471 | * SheWhoFightsMonsters: [[spoiler:She joined the Inquisitors so that she could eventually worm her way close to Vader and kill him in revenge for him slaughtering her friends. Unfortunately, in her impatient drive to get into his good graces, she willingly embraced the Dark Side, becoming almost as cruel and violent as the man she was trying to kill. Upon realizing she fell into this trope when trying to kill Luke Skywalker, she breaks down and gives up on the Dark Side, becoming the first on-screen Inquisitor to be redeemed]]. |
| 472 | * SmallNameBigEgo: Reva considers herself worthy of leading the Inquisitorius, pursues legendary Jedi Master Obi-Wan Kenobi, and is willing to pull off such stunts as kidnapping a Senator's child and going over her superior's head to get what she wants. Despite this, however, Reva's fellow Inquisitors don't respect her and have nothing but disdain for her reckless brutality, while Obi-Wan doesn't even know who she is, and Vader only considers her efforts worth anything if it gets him what he wants. [[spoiler:Turns out that she was never interested in a higher position for power's sake. She just wanted to get close to Vader so that she could kill him in revenge for slaughtering her friends. However, her belief that she ''could'' successfully kill Vader still places her in this category, as Vader was a fully trained Jedi Knight before becoming a Sith Lord, while Reva never advanced beyond being a youngling before joining the Inquisitorius.]] |
| 473 | * TheStarscream: Very clearly is eyeing to replace the Grand Inquisitor as part of her ambitions. She already took him out of commission by stabbing him while he was searching for Obi-Wan and is now seeking to curry favor with Darth Vader to ensure the Grand Inquisitor remains beneath her. [[spoiler:Turns out that she was never interested in a higher position for power's sake. She just wanted to get close to Vader so that she could kill him in revenge for slaughtering her friends.]] |
| 474 | * SuspiciouslySimilarSubstitute: |
| 475 | ** To a certain extent, of [[Characters/StarWarsDathomir Asajj Ventress]] -- [[spoiler:both were raised by Jedi until a tragedy when they were very young left them alone. They then became acolytes of the Sith Apprentice with the ultimate aim of becoming something greater (Asajj thought she could become a real Sith, Reva planned to kill Vader), until they realised that they were nothing but tools to be discarded. And finally after being left for dead by the Sith Apprentice, they both found themselves free and with the possibility of redemption]]. |
| 476 | ** She's also one to her late comrade, Trilla, the Second Sister. Both were the TokenHuman amongst the Inquisitors, share a history with [[spoiler:Darth Vader (Trilla being tormented by him, Reva being stabbed by him as a youngling)]], face off against a Jedi who has cut himself off from the Force to survive (Cal for Trilla and Obi-Wan for Reva), are so blinded by revenge that they're willing to go to any lengths to get it, and [[spoiler:both end up being stabbed by Darth Vader (in Reva's case, twice) for failing in the eyes of the Empire (Trilla for nearly undergoing a HeelFaceTurn and Reva because she was trying to kill Vader, which he saw through).]] Where the two diverge is that [[spoiler:Reva gets to live, while Trilla dies begging for the fallen Jedi to be avenged.]] Bonus points for both Cal and Obi-Wan being hunted by Vader during both Inquisitors's respective arcs (though he only goes after the former at the end; the latter for him is [[ItsPersonal much more personal]]). |
| 477 | * TokenHuman: As Reva, she's one of only two known human Inquisitors shown in the canon so far, and is the only human Inquisitor seen in ''Obi-Wan Kenobi''. |
| 478 | * TragicVillain: [[spoiler:As a young child she survived the Order 66 genocide, which massacred who she describes as the only family she knew, by hiding with the bodies of those friends. Betrayed by Anakin Skywalker who they thought was going to help save them. After time living in “the gutter” she joins the Inquisitorous out of hatred for Lord Vader -- plotting and giving in entirely to the dark side/hatred of him and doing heinous acts, including hunting her own people, just to gain a chance to curry enough favour to get a chance of killing him in revenge. And then it’s AllForNothing. The fight barely causes him any trouble at all, with the Sith Lord toying with and mocking her before stabbing her in the gut, leaving her back where she was as just a little girl all those years ago. Something flashbacks seems to indicate is exactly how she feels once again there as well.]] |
| 479 | * UncertainDoom: [[spoiler:She survives the events of the series. However, she was impaled by a lightsaber shortly before her attack on the Lars farm and is visibly struggling to keep pushing forward throughout the final episode, due to not having received proper medical care. That, and the fact that she's nowhere to be seen in stories set after ''Kenobi'' make it ambiguous whether she actually recovered or ended up dying from her wounds on Tatooine.]] |
| 480 | * TheUnfought: Played with; [[spoiler:Obi-Wan never fights Reva directly during his titular series, but Reva does directly contend with her ''real'' target, Darth Vader, as well as Owen and Beru Lars.]] |
| 481 | * UnknownRival: |
| 482 | ** To Obi-Wan. She's made it her life's mission to track him down and kill him, yet by all accounts Obi-Wan has zero clue who she even ''is'' beyond being an Inquisitor. Once Obi-Wan finally takes time to listen to her, he seems to consider her not as an enemy, but a potential ally. |
| 483 | ** Subverted with [[spoiler:Vader. Reva's entire plan to kill Vader relies on her being this, as she plans to work her way up through the Inquisitorius and gain his trust to kill him in revenge for him slaughtering her Youngling friends during Order 66. However, it turns out that Vader knew exactly who she was all along and was just playing her so he could find Obi-Wan. Even so, he clearly doesn't consider her much of a rival, as he spends their entire "duel" toying with her and defeats her without even drawing his lightsaber. And when he defeats her by stabbing her through the gut (which she already survived once before) he doesn't even consider her worth finishing off.]] |
| 484 | * VillainousValour: [[spoiler:Both combatants are {{Tragic Villain}}s, but, to her credit, when her sneak attack on Darth Vader fails, Reva doesn't hesitate to fight him head-on despite being far out of her weight class.]] |
| 485 | * WhatYouAreInTheDark: [[spoiler:She knocks out Luke in the canyons, and prepares to kill him as a proxy revenge against Obi-Wan (and Vader if she knows the truth about Luke). However, her memories of Anakin slaughtering her friends causes her to realize she's becoming Vader herself, and ultimately chooses to bring Luke back home safely to his uncle and aunt.]] |
| 486 | * WouldHurtAChild: She abducts a ten year old Leia to force Obi-Wan Kenobi out of hiding, and when she has the young princess in her clutches, after threats and mind-tricks fail, she’s poised to actually ''torture'' Leia via some sort of horrific rack-like device before Obi-Wan and Tala rescue her. She also threatens to kill a ten year old Luke, along with his aunt and uncle. At the end of Part V [[spoiler:she discovers that Luke is very likely the son of Vader himself and, in Part VI, targets the boy as a part of her revenge scheme against Vader. However, when presented with the opportunity to kill Luke, [[SubvertedTrope she ultimately can't go through with it]]]]. |
| 487 | * YouCantFightFate: She invokes this, insisting Obi-Wan will never truly escape Darth Vader, given the latter's obsession with finding him. Anyone who's watched ''A New Hope'' will know she's right. |
| 488 | -->'''Third Sister''': You can't run, Obi-Wan! You can't escape him! |
| 489 | * YouHaveOutlivedYourUsefulness: [[spoiler:Vader knew all along who Reva was, and allowed her to proceed with her plans to exploit her abilities and draw out Obi-Wan. Once she made her move against him, however, Vader stabbed Reva and left her to die (again). Reva managed to survive the attack, though the spirit of the trope remains intact.]] |

| 498 | 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. |
| 499 | ---- |
| 500 | * AmazingTechnicolorPopulation: Her species appears to have yellow skin. |
| 501 | * 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 [[spoiler:Barriss Offee]]. |
| 502 | * BearerOfBadNews: She informs the Grand Inquisitor, much to his fury, that the Third Sister [[WeAreStrugglingTogether has gone over his head]] and alerted every bounty hunter on Daiyu to Obi-Wan's presence, making the Inquisitorius' task that much more difficult. |
| 503 | * DeathGlare: Gives a seething one to the Third Sister when they meet on Daiyu, and again when Reva announces she has been given direct command of the hunt for Obi-Wan by Darth Vader. |
| 504 | * DoNotCallMePaul: When [[spoiler:Barriss]] recognizes her and calls her by her initial name, the Fourth Sister coldly replies she doesn't go by that name anymore. |
| 505 | * FacialMarkings: Her forehead is marked with a set of symmetrical brown tattoos. |
| 506 | * FlatCharacter: Out of all the Inquisitors in ''Obi-Wan Kenobi'' she has by far the least amount of characterization, little screen time and speaks only a handful of lines. Even the Fifth Brother, who was a flat character in ''Rebels'', gets more spotlight in this series than her. |
| 507 | * OnlySaneWoman: Following the Grand Inquisitor's incapacitation, rather than lower herself to squabbling for primacy like the Fifth Brother and Third Sister, the Fourth Sister just gets on with the task of hunting down Obi-Wan. Once Obi-Wan is learned to be hiding on Mapuzo, while the Third Sister and Fifth Brother argue over who gets to take the credit by informing Darth Vader, the Fourth Sister issues orders that Mapuzo's Imperial garrison are to lock down the spaceports and ensure no ships get off world. |
| 508 | * SupernaturalGoldEyes: She has the red-rimmed yellow eyes of a Darksider. |
| 509 | * UncertainDoom: Explicitly noted in-universe as having an unknown fate. Rebel agent Lina Graf used the Fourth Sister's armor to impersonate her during a mission to rescue a spy from Vader's castle, possibly resulting in a case of KillAndReplace or DeadPersonImpersonation. |

| 526 | An Inquisitor of unknown species. After the Siege of Lothal, Vader charged him and the Seventh Sister to hunt down the crew of the ''Ghost''. |
| 527 | ---- |
| 528 | * AliensOfLondon: The casting call for the Fifth Brother specifically called for someone who could do a Spanish or European accent, so this choice might mean that his species has Spanish/European influence. In ''Obi-Wan Kenobi'', he speaks with an Asian dialect. |
| 529 | * AlwaysABiggerFish: [[spoiler:He's killed by Maul.]] |
| 530 | * AmbitionIsEvil: He wants to be Grand Inquisitor. Not as obvious as the Seventh's, but it's there. |
| 531 | * AnimalEyes: It's a FreezeFrameBonus, but his eyes have nictitating membranes. Unlike normal membranes, he has two instead of one. |
| 532 | * ArcVillain: Of ''Jedi: Battle Scars''. He hunts down Cal Kestis and the Crew of the ''Stinger Mantis'' through the novel, picking up where Second Sister/[[spoiler:Trilla]] and Ninth Sister failed. |
| 533 | * BlindWeaponmaster: Implied in ''Rebels'', and confirmed by [[invoked]]WordOfGod. Though ''Obi-Wan Kenobi'' implies that the Fifth Brother may not have always been like this, as his eyes are shown to look normal, and he gives little indication that he has trouble seeing. |
| 534 | * BloodKnight: He tries to kill Ezra without even bothering to interrogate him. |
| 535 | * BrainsAndBrawn: The Brawn to the Seventh Sister's Brains. He's willing to kill Ezra right off the bat and has to be told why he's of more use alive. |
| 536 | * BrokenPedestal: A loyal Jedi until some point after the Clone Wars began, when he became disillusioned with the Jedi Order. Their inaction to the sanctioned strip-mine of his homeworld Artemesium by the Senate led him to believe they were simply thugs for the highest bidder [[HidingBehindReligion hiding behind a thin layer of mystic tradition and ceremony.]] |
| 537 | * TheBrute: He's the second largest Inquisitor after the Ninth Sister, and he generally prefers use of brute force over tactical thinking. The Seventh Sister mocks him for his lack of foresight. Physically, he can overpower Zeb, a Lasat who's strong enough to pick up a full-grown Wookiee in a fireman's carry. |
| 538 | * CoDragons: With Kallus and the Seventh Sister to Darth Vader in season 2. |
| 539 | * CoolHelmet: His unique set of triangular headgear, despite a RunningGag in ''Battle Scars'' being how unwieldly his adversaries think it looks on his head, is made of a lightsaber-resistant material and has some practical use in a fight. |
| 540 | * CorporateSamurai: The Fifth Brother's 3-corner helmet vaguely resembles that of a samurai's, and he's a loyal Inquisitor who was trained by Darth Vader. He further begins to resemble this in ''Obi-Wan Kenobi'', due to receiving an Asian actor. |
| 541 | * CuttingTheKnot: |
| 542 | ** Favors the simple, direct approach. While effective, this clashes with the Seventh Sister. His straightforward moves are often sabotaged by her overcomplicated plots, while his bluntness and hammering often ruins her machinations. [[ChronicBackstabbingDisorder Knowing them, this is probably at least partially intentional.]] |
| 543 | ** In ''Dark Lord of the Sith'', he's not happy with the Thirteenth Sister taking extra time to mess with the enemy as opposed to just completing the mission right then and there. It's implied that he ended up twisting this story in his report to Vader to get her in trouble. |
| 544 | * DissonantSerenity: As Vader looms over Iskat and Tualon [[YouHaveFailedMe with lightsaber drawn]], he and the other Inquisitors look on from the other side of the room. While everyone else in the room has a look [[EvenEvilHasStandards of shock or concern]], the Fifth alone stands behind them all with a small, content smile. |
| 545 | * TheDragon: In ''Obi-Wan Kenobi'' and ''Battle Scars'', he's the primary enforcer for the Grand Inquisitor, being the only one with some semblance of loyalty to him. |
| 546 | * DressedToPlunder: Downplayed, but his tricorn-like hat, spanish accent, and basket-hilted Inquisitor lightsaber give him a vaguely "age of sail" aesthetic. |
| 547 | * DumbMuscle: Downplayed. He isn't stupid, per se, but his straightforward "kill the target at the earliest opportunity" approach, while pragmatic and efficient, comes across as short-sighted next to the Seventh Sister's long-term cunning. That being said, he's far more level-headed and eloquent than most examples of the trope and comes across as more reasonable next to the impulsive Third Sister. |
| 548 | * EstablishingCharacterMoment: His introduction in ''Rebels'' has him pull Konstantine away from supporting Kallus during the hunt for the ''Ghost'' crew and the clone veterans, purely so he could make an impression and set himself up to take credit for eventually catching the rebels himself. This deprives Kallus of critically needed air support, foreshadowing that Fifth Brother is too bullheaded to actually be that competent. |
| 549 | * EvenEvilHasStandards: At least standards when it comes to pragmatism, rather than any moral boundaries. The Fifth Brother is deeply annoyed by the Third Sister’s loose cannon tendencies due to how much time it wastes. In ''Rebels'' he was portrayed more as DumbMuscle, but in ''Obi-Wan Kenobi'' he’s downright zen compared to Reva. When Fifth Brother of all people is telling you that you’re too reckless… |
| 550 | * EvilDuo: With the Seventh Sister. |
| 551 | * EvilIsBigger: Towers over every hero he confronts in ''Rebels'', save for [[TheBigGuy Zeb]], who he is instead unique among the antagonists for standing eye to eye with the Lasat. |
| 552 | * FlatCharacter: TheBrute of the Inquisitors who was once a Jedi and is apparently blind, but that's all you'll get out of him. He's given a greater deal of characterization in ''Series/ObiWanKenobi'', which establishes him as a bit more pragmatic, but just as hungry to seize power as Reva. He also receives a single POV chapter in ''Battle Scars''. |
| 553 | * ForceAndFinesse: The Force to the Seventh Sister's Finesse. He uses his lightsaber far less than her, and those times he does use it are for straightforward attacks. He prefers to use the Force to send his opponents flying. |
| 554 | * {{Foreshadowing}}: He is blind and presumably uses the Force to see. [[spoiler:Kanan ends up like this shortly after the Fifth Brother dies.]] |
| 555 | * GoodCopBadCop: Despite his brutish nature, he winds up being the good cop to Reva's bad cop, as she's quick to dismember a random civilian for speaking out against her and nearly murders Owen out of impulsive rage, forcing Fifth Brother to reel her in and leave the people with the promise of rewards for information on the Jedi. |
| 556 | * GrenadeHotPotato: He uses the Force to disarm Sabine's grenades, then throws them back at Zeb and Sabine, rearming them when they get close. |
| 557 | * GuttedLikeAFish: [[spoiler:Maul kills him by slashing him across his stomach with his lightsaber]]. |
| 558 | * HandicappedBadass: He appears to have some sort of cataracts, rendering him physically blind, but he can use the Force to sense others. |
| 559 | * HiddenDepths: Despite his outside arrogance, he holds a great internal respect for the Force for [[DisabilitySuperpower allowing him to see]] in his own way. Unfortunately, he sees his personal appreciation for it as the only "true path" toward enlightenment, which he uses as further justification to hate the Jedi. |
| 560 | * HugeGuyTinyGirl: He is significantly taller and wider than the Seventh Sister. He is perhaps the tallest humanoid adult character in ''Rebels'' while she is the shortest. |
| 561 | * InformedAbility: He's the highest ranking Inquisitor introduced after Season One, implying him to be the most powerful. While he has a lot of brute strength, he's ultimately much less competent than the lower-ranking Seventh Sister, and fares extremely poorly against Ahsoka while his companion put up a small fight. Later media reveals that he IS a high ranking Inquisitor, since he was the Grand Inquisitor's primary enforcer, and that the [[KilledOffForReal official death]] of his master finally gave him a chance to become the new Grand Inquisitor. |
| 562 | * {{Jerkass}}: Downplayed. Unlike the other Inquisitors, he doesn't bother with maintaining [[FauxAffablyEvil the illusion of being polite]], instead opting to be blunt about whatever situation he's in. That being said, he doesn't go out of his way to be repulsive, either. |
| 563 | * JerkassHasAPoint: His complaints are solely to get the Third Sister removed from (temporary) command of the Inquisitorius so he can take her place, but the Fifth Brother raises an accurate point to Vader that [[spoiler:not only did she fail to capture Obi-Wan Kenobi, but the Third Sister taking Leia hostage resulted in colossal damage to Fortress Inquisitorius when Obi-Wan rescued her from captivity]]. |
| 564 | * LargeAndInCharge: He is one of the highest ranking Imperials on the show and he is freaking ''huge'', being almost as tall as Zeb. Admiral Konstantine, who is of at least average height, looks like he is good half meter shorter than him. To put that in perspective, Darth Vader is only taller than the Grand Inquisitor by ''three centimeters'' — and the Grand Inquisitor was a full two meters in height. |
| 565 | * MonochromaticEyes: Unlike most Darksiders, his eyes are a solid pale color. [[invoked]]WordOfGod is that he is blind, so they might be cataracts. Notably, his eyes do not have this color in ''Obi-Wan Kenobi'', implying he wasn't always blind. |
| 566 | * MythologyGag: His design looks like it takes inspiration from the ''Legends'' comic series ''ComicBook/DarkEmpire'', as illustrated by Cam Kennedy. The hulking shape, sharp teeth, overall facial structure, sharp angles throughout, and color scheme resemble his signature style. |
| 567 | * NiceJobFixingItVillain: |
| 568 | ** In [[Recap/StarWarsRebelsS2E02RelicsOfTheOldRepublic "Relics of the Old Republic"]], Kallus and Konstantine had the Rebels in their grasp, until he ordered Konstantine's Star Destroyer to rendezvous with his shuttle for no apparent reason, leaving Kallus without air support, allowing the Rebels to defeat him and escape. This is particularly silly because his shuttle has a hyperdrive, so he could have gone to them with no trouble. |
| 569 | ** In a stunning case of BondVillainStupidity in the next episode, [[Recap/StarWarsRebelsS2E03AlwaysTwoThereAre "Always Two There Are"]], he refuses help from Kallus and Konstantine, going on his own without the backup of the Star Destroyer. Then, when he manages to disable both Sabine and Zeb, he takes Sabine as a hostage but leaves Zeb to two of the Seventh Sister's droids, which results in Zeb escaping and saving Ezra and Sabine. |
| 570 | * NotBrainwashed: While many of the other Inquisitor's required an [[BeingTorturedMakesYouEvil element of torture necessary]] to fully corrupt them into their roles, he revels in having abandoned the Jedi Order on his own terms. |
| 571 | * OhCrap: |
| 572 | ** He briefly shows fear when he recognizes the Sentinel — [[spoiler:that is to say, the Force vision of the Grand Inquisitor back when he was a Jedi]] — at Lothal's Jedi Temple. |
| 573 | ** He and Eighth were doing pretty well against Kanan and Ahsoka in "Twilight of the Apprentice", up until [[spoiler:Maul shows up and practically corners him. And then [[GuttedLikeAFish he dies.]]]] |
| 574 | * PragmaticVillainy: Unlike the Seventh Sister or one of the female Inquisitors, he has little patience for them [[{{Sadist}} toying around with their victims]] and would rather get it over with it. He has a point, since it wastes time and gives their targets an opportunity to flee. On the other hand, he lacks subtlety, which makes things more difficult when they need to be planned ahead and performed more discretely. |
| 575 | * {{Pride}}: His key flaw as a soldier is that he overestimates his own abilities, refusing help from others even when it would benefit him. |
| 576 | * RaceLift: Goes from being Spanish-influenced in ''Rebels'' to having a more Asian appearance in ''Obi-Wan Kenobi'', due to being portrayed by Creator/SungKang in the latter show. |
| 577 | * RedemptionRejection: Cere offers him the same chance of redemption she offered her former padawan when he comes across them on Murkhana. Unfortunately, he fully rejects them as he made the choice to become an Inquisitor and came to consider the Jedi's [[VirtueIsWeakness virtue a weakness]] on his own. |
| 578 | * ScaryTeeth: His teeth look rather shark-like and when he smiles, the effect is unsettling. |
| 579 | * SensorCharacter: He was able to sense Ezra's presence on an abandoned space station some distance away from Kallus's Star Destroyer. Later on, when he was hunting Sabine, he was able to sense her and Zeb hiding behind some crates. |
| 580 | * SlasherSmile: He silently introduces himself to Sabine and Ezra with one as he ignites his lightsaber. |
| 581 | * SmallNameBigEgo: He called Konstantine's Star Destroyer away from an active mission just to tell him that he would deal with the ''Ghost'' crew on his own. He easily could have used lightspeed to reach the Star Destroyer itself, but he had ''them'' go to his presence just for the purposes of making an impression. |
| 582 | * SmugSnake: He's usually smug and condescending, but get an angry Vader in the room with him and he's just as terrified as any rational person would be. He can barely even muster a smirk when Vader manhandles Reva, knowing damn well he could be next. |
| 583 | * TheStarscream: Subverted. He wants the position of Grand Inquisitor too, but he's not openly treacherous about it. |
| 584 | * TeethClenchedTeamwork: He has a low opinion of Kallus and Konstantine. The feeling is mutual. He also considers the Third Sister's violent tactics counterproductive and resents her trying to usurp him in the Inquisitorius's leadership. |
| 585 | * TookALevelInBadass: Severely downplayed, but still somewhat present; in his first encounter with Ahsoka, she defeated him ''effortlessly'' even with the Seventh Sister helping him, but in their second encounter, he manages to put up a better fight against her by himself. |
| 586 | * VillainBall: Calling an active Star Destroyer away from a manhunt just so he could make an impression with his own arrival was an unbelievably stupid military strategy that cost the Empire three [=AT-ATs=] and the opportunity to apprehend or kill several wanted rebels. Then again, he may have done this deliberately as he wanted the credit for capturing the Rebels instead of Kallus. |
| 587 | * WeAreStrugglingTogether: |
| 588 | ** He and the Seventh Sister are not just hunting rebel Force users. They are also competing against one another for a promotion. One suspects that part of the reason he tries to kill Ezra after the Seventh Sister had captured him is so that she wouldn't get the credit. |
| 589 | ** It's implied that he told Vader that Thirteenth Sister let her target go (to [[ForTheEvulz screw with them]] before apprehending them) to her in trouble. This results in her and Tualon Yaluna dying. |
| 590 | ** He also openly clashes and tries to undermine the Third Sister in Vader's eyes over who takes command of the Inquisitorius in the Grand Inquisitor's absence. |
| 591 | * WeHardlyKnewYe: [[spoiler:Gets little characterization during his tenure on the show besides TheBrute.]] However, he has more screentime during ''Series/ObiWanKenobi'' and other media featuring him. |
| 592 | * TheWorfEffect: When he goes up against Ahsoka along with the Seventh Sister in [[Recap/StarWarsRebelsS2E08TheFutureOfTheForce "The Future of the Force"]], Ahsoka is able to send him flying twice with almost no effort. |
| 593 | * WreckedWeapon: |
| 594 | ** During his pursuit of the ''Stinger Mantis'', Cere is able to seize his lightsaber with the Force during their duel, and deconstructs it into several small pieces. |
| 595 | ** [[spoiler:Ahsoka slices his lightsaber out of his hand seconds before Maul kills him.]] |
| 596 | * YouDontLookLikeYou: The Fifth Brother's appearance in ''Obi-Wan Kenobi'' is an even more striking contrast than the Grand Inquisitor's. His voice and facial features now appear to be more Asian than Spanish due to being portrayed by Korean-American Creator/SungKang, and his face color has changed from black/grey to a more greenish hue. Furthermore, his eyes are no longer solid white like they were in ''Rebels''. It's also a case of "You Don't Sound Like You", due to him sporting an Asian accent instead of a Latin one, and his voice is modulated unlike in ''Rebels''. |
| 597 | * YourSizeMayVary: He's quite tall in ''Rebels'', towering over average-sized humanoids, but in ''Obi-Wan Kenobi'', he's relatively normal sized (Sung Kang is 6', which is taller than average, but not significantly so.) |

| 608 | |
| 609 | An Inquisitor of an unknown species who fought Ahsoka Tano a year after the rise of the Empire. |
| 610 | ---- |
| 611 | * TheBrute: Described as such. He is said to swing wildly and is relying more on his strength than skill, so Ahsoka uses her WaifFu skills to its best use. |
| 612 | * ChronicBackstabbingDisorder: [[spoiler:While fleeing from their Inquisitor Troopers after Barr uses Order 66 on them, Sixth Brother slices off Ninth Sister's leg so that she can't run and leaves her for dead at the mercy of their troops.]] |
| 613 | * ColorMotif: He has grey skin and his uniform is mostly grey. The protagonists, who don't know what his title is, call him "the grey creature". |
| 614 | * CoolHelmet: Has a black helmet with a blast shield, somewhat similar to the Eighth Brother's and the Grand Inquisitor's. |
| 615 | * DependingOnTheArtist: The comics can't quite decide how grey his skin is supposed to be, alternating between a flat grey and a muted green-grey, sometimes even going for flat-out green. |
| 616 | * DueToTheDead: [[spoiler:When he dies, it occurs to Ahsoka that he may not be completely at fault in serving the dark side. She covers his face as an act of compassion.]] |
| 617 | * EarlyBirdCameo: The solicitation for Issue #7 cover (the issue after his debut) showed his arm and lightsaber while the rest of his body is conveniently offscreen. |
| 618 | * {{Expy}}: He looks similar to the Fifth Brother, having grey skin and being TheBrute, as well as being of an unknown species. Mostly because of the MythologyGag behind their designs. |
| 619 | * GoodScarsEvilScars: He is described as having some kind of ritual scarring on his face. |
| 620 | * HoistByHisOwnPetard: [[spoiler:Ahsoka messes up the structure of his lightsaber hilt when she reaches out for his kyber crystals, exploding his lightsaber in front of his face.]] |
| 621 | * IcyBlueEyes: Described as having such. |
| 622 | * {{Irony}}: His helmet has a blast shield, which would've protected his face from nearby explosions. It would've been useful if he had kept it on when he fought Ahsoka. |
| 623 | * KickTheDog: His betrayal of the Ninth Sister is especially cruel because, as he even admits, their combined Force push would likely have been more then enough to keep the Purge Troopers away and give them time to escape. He only wished to have further insurance he could get away at her expense. |
| 624 | * MythologyGag: Like the Fifth Brother, he is based off of concept art of a Knight of Ren for ''Film/TheForceAwakens''. |
| 625 | * PetTheDog: He makes a mental note of giving an Imperial officer a commendation in hopes of bettering the communicative relations between Imperials and Inquisitorius. He also factors in making the job easier for his Inquisitorius brothers and sisters. |
| 626 | * TheStoic: Implied. [[EstablishingCharacterMoment The first thing we see him doing]] is meditating while the other Inquisitors spar, and is seen calmly standing when meeting with the Grand Inquisitor, the Emperor, and Darth Vader (in contrast to the Seventh's impatient stature, Ninth's alertness, Fifth's apathy, and Eighth's eagerness). |
| 627 | * TeethClenchedTeamwork: His interactions with the other Inquisitors are sparse, but he seems to hold a specific spot of animosity for the Ninth Sister. He is the subject of her and the Tenth Brother's ribbing, and when the Purge Troopers attack them both, he severs her leg and leaves her for dead, snidely wishing her luck as he flees the building. |
| 628 | * TerseTalker: He's not much of a talker, only speaking if he needs a report from an officer or such. |
| 629 | * UnderestimatingBadassery: He feels he has nothing to fear from Ahsoka because she is just a Jedi Padawan. Fans of ''WesternAnimation/TheCloneWars'' will know that Ahsoka is far more than a Padawan, in fact before leaving the order she was offered a promotion to full Jedi Knight. |
| 630 | * WalkingSpoiler: His numerical rank reveals that there must at least be six Inquisitors ''already within a year of the Empire's establishment''. |
| 631 | * WouldHurtAChild: His first scene has him on Thabeska investigating a report of a Force-sensitive child, having difficulty finding them due to the sheer number of Fardi cousins, and he muses about organizing an "accident" to kill all of them, which he doesn't do solely due to his orders being retrieval. |
| 632 | -->''Sadly, he didn't kill children. He only retrieved them for his masters.'' |
| 633 | * WreckedWeapon: His lightsaber is destroyed when Ahsoka uses the Force to pull on the kyber crystals inside, causing it to explode. |

| 647 | |
| 648 | An Inquisitor, the Seventh Sister utilizes [=ID9=] seeker droids to hunt her prey and gain an advantage in battle. Ambitious for the rank of Grand Inquisitor, she joined the hunt alongside the Fifth Brother for the rebel Jedi without the spoken word of her master, Darth Vader. |
| 649 | ---- |
| 650 | * AlliterativeName: '''S'''eventh '''S'''ister. |
| 651 | * AlwaysABiggerFish: [[spoiler:She is killed by Maul.]] |
| 652 | * AmbitionIsEvil: The reason for her BigBadWannabe behavior is because she wants to be Grand Inquisitor, now that there's a [[EvilPowerVacuum power vacuum]]. |
| 653 | * BigBadWannabe: At first, she seems to be building up as this, being the Inquisitor more focused on than the Fifth or the Eighth and is shown with more skill and brains than either, but this is ultimately for naught because [[spoiler:[[BigBadEnsemble Maul and Vader]], the ''true'' [[BigBad Big Bads]], get the spotlight after the former kills her.]] |
| 654 | * BlackEyesOfCrazy: Much like her predecessor her sclera are jet black during ''Rebels'', all but marking her as an antagonist. However, during both of her appearances in ''Dark Lord of the Sith,'' her sclera are white, indicating that either an unspecified event caused the change suddenly, or that she really just got that much more evil and corrupted over time. In ''Twilight of the Apprentice'', her sclera were white in coloration, and from up close right before her death, they were black. |
| 655 | * BrainsAndBrawn: The Brains to the Fifth Brother's Brawn. She chastises him for trying to kill Ezra without thinking ahead. |
| 656 | * BreakTheHaughty: The Seventh Sister, who has always thought highly of herself and laughed at Ezra's weakness for [[ThouShaltNotKill not killing enemies]], [[spoiler:ends up defeated by Maul and Ezra. Just when she gains a HopeSpot, Maul decides to finish her off himself.]] |
| 657 | * BrutalHonesty: The Seventh Sister usually enjoys her job of hunting Jedi. But in a FreezeFrameBonus in her first appearance, she said that the "Jedi of old" are dead to Ezra as her prisoner. Her expression of saying that didn't appear to look happy when she tilted her head down, her tone even demonstrating this trope. Ezra foolishly counters about her saying that the Jedi are dead. Order 66 did destroy the Republic and kill off a handful of Jedi, but some survived such as her. That was for a brief moment. |
| 658 | -->'''Seventh Sister:''' The Jedi of old are dead.\ |
| 659 | '''Ezra:''' Not all of them! |
| 660 | * CoDragons: With Kallus and the Fifth Brother to Darth Vader in Season 2. |
| 661 | * CollapsibleHelmet: Her mask is retractable, likely using the Force. |
| 662 | * CombatPragmatist: She uses a large group of Mimic Droids in addition to her lightsaber skills. |
| 663 | * ComplexityAddiction: Both a strength and a weakness. While her skills for manipulation makes her very dangerous, it also makes her a poor partner for the Fifth Brother. His blunt straightforwardness keeps her plans from being as effective as they should be, while her penchant for mindgames ruin his attempts to resolve their problems simply. |
| 664 | * DarkActionGirl: It comes with being an Inquisitor. |
| 665 | * DeadpanSnarker: Judging by what we have seen of her so far she is very, ''very'' sarcastic. |
| 666 | -->'''Ezra:''' You're an Inquisitor!\ |
| 667 | '''Seventh Sister:''' Oh ''good'', I don't have to explain it to you. So, you know what comes next? |
| 668 | * DroneDeployer: She uses a lot of Mimic Droids, which electrocute people and are capable of impersonating their voices. |
| 669 | * EvenEvilHasStandards: Despite having a fierce rivalry with Iskat Akaris/Thirteenth Sister, she's genuinely taken aback when Vader tries to kill her. |
| 670 | * EvilDuo: With the Fifth Brother, though they initially did not expect the other to show up. |
| 671 | * {{Expy}}: Visually-speaking, she bears a strong resemblance to [[WesternAnimation/StarWarsTheCloneWars Barriss Offee]] apart from having different tattoos. Given all Inquisitors are former Jedi, and Barriss fell to the Dark Side, she had to be clarified to be a completely separate character. |
| 672 | * FemmeFatalons: She has claws on her gloves. |
| 673 | * FauxAffablyEvil: She gets a kick out of acting polite and caring while mocking and torturing her victims. |
| 674 | * FlatCharacter: A sadistic Inquisitor who was once a Jedi and is more intelligent than the Fifth Brother but other than that, there's nothing much else for her character as of yet. Her databank says that her backstory remains a mystery, indicating that her past is worth knowing. ''Rise of the Red Blade'' reveals some stuff about her, the novel mentioning she once trained under Aayla Secura when she was a Jedi. |
| 675 | * ForceAndFinesse: The Finesse to the Fifth Brother's Force. She focuses more on lightsaber combat, mostly using the Force to overpower or pin an opponent she's already beaten. |
| 676 | * ForceChoke: [[spoiler:By Maul. Ezra was supposed to take her down, but since he couldn't, Maul did it for him.]] |
| 677 | * GoryDiscretionShot: [[spoiler:Her death. We see her scream as Maul's lightsaber flies at her, it cuts to Ezra reacting in shock, and then a shot of her lightsaber falling and what's implied to be only the lower half of her body falling to her knees and collapsing.]] |
| 678 | * GreenSkinnedSpaceBabe: A typical trait for the Mirialan species. |
| 679 | * HalfTheManHeUsedToBe: [[spoiler:Maul bisects her at the torso.]] |
| 680 | * HugeGuyTinyGirl: She isn't really ''tiny'', she is about average height, but considering how the Fifth Brother is so damn big it has this effect. |
| 681 | * JustToyingWithThem: |
| 682 | ** During her fight with Iskat Akaris, the eventual Thirteenth Sister, she has a spar with her, just seeing if she’s worthy of putting up a fight. When Iskat’s power in the Dark Side helps her get an edge, she immediately gets more offensive. |
| 683 | ** In ''Rebels'', her main target is Ahsoka, but she likes playing cat and mouse with Kanan and Ezra. |
| 684 | * MaleMightFemaleFinesse: She fights much more elegantly compared to the Fifth Brother's brutish fighting style in lightsaber combat. |
| 685 | * ManipulativeBastard: She is described as conniving, manipulative, and a master of deception. |
| 686 | * NoSenseOfPersonalSpace: She gets uncomfortably close to anyone she's interrogating, usually in the form of lovingly caressing their face. |
| 687 | * OhCrap: |
| 688 | ** She has an epic one when Ahsoka ''extinguishes'' her lightsaber blades with the Force in [[Recap/StarWarsRebelsS2E08TheFutureOfTheForce "The Future of the Force"]]. |
| 689 | ** When she gets Force-choked by [[spoiler:Maul and is about to be [[HalfTheManHeUsedToBe struck down.]]]] |
| 690 | * OlderThanTheyLook: When we meet her in ''Rebels'', she appears to be in her twenties, like Kanan and Hera. ''Dark Lord of the Sith'' reveals that she looked the same as she did a decade and a half ago, and ''[[Franchise/StarWarsTheHighRepublic The High Republic]]'' franchise would later confirm that Mirialans can live at least twice as long as humans. |
| 691 | * ParrotPetPosition: She usually has a Mimic Droid riding her shoulder. |
| 692 | * PersonalSpaceInvader: Gets ''very'' close to Ezra while interrogating him. |
| 693 | * PsychopathicWomanchild: There's a certain immaturity to her demeanor that only makes her more terrifying. |
| 694 | * {{Sadist}}: While most Imperials are callous bastards drunk on their own power, the Seventh Sister clearly enjoys hurting others and getting attention from it. She plays cruel mind games with Ezra and amuses herself by stirring up trouble or hurting people. |
| 695 | * ScarilyCompetentTracker: Goes hand-in-hand with being a ManipulativeBitch, which makes her much more dangerous than the Grand Inquisitor. She's got probe droids that scour old Republic bases to look out for Rebel activity. |
| 696 | * ShockAndAwe: Her Mimic Droids can electrocute whatever they touch. |
| 697 | * TheSmurfettePrinciple: The only female Inquisitor introduced in ''Rebels.'' |
| 698 | * SpikesOfVillainy: Her lightsaber ring has spiky protrusions, compared to the Grand Inquisitor's more utilitarian design. |
| 699 | * 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''. Despite in being in the perfect position to become an Inquisitor herself, Barriss is confirmed not to be the Seventh Sister and that this possibly for the best as the Seventh Sister doesn't get [[FlatCharacter much character depth or dynamic in the series]], with her being unceremoniously killed off by Maul. |
| 700 | * SupernaturalGoldEyes: She has the typical Dark Side user's yellow irises. |
| 701 | * TattooAsCharacterType: Like all Mirialans. Notably, hers are rather minimalist compared to Mirialan Jedi. |
| 702 | * TheVamp: She's quite beautiful and she knows it, hence why she tries to flirt with Kanan on one occasion. |
| 703 | * VillainTakesAnInterest: She implies in conversation that she would be up to training Ezra herself, should he [[FaceHeelTurn turn]]. Apart from it being an Inquisitor's job to recruit Force-sensitive children, she uses the absence of other prominent Jedi in the galaxy as a justification for this. |
| 704 | * VillainessesWantHeroes: She's somewhat flirtatious with Ezra, although her doing the same with others shows that she's doing it [[MindGameShip just to mess with him]]. She does seem to genuinely find Kanan attractive, when admitting she prefers brains to Kanan's good looks.[[invoked]] |
| 705 | * VoiceOfTheLegion: Even with her voice-altering mask off, there's an unnatural reverb to her voice. It might have to do with being corrupted by the Dark Side or Vader damaged her voice box as her initiation injury into the Inquisitorius, resulting in a cybernetic replacement. |
| 706 | * VoiceChangeling: Her Mimic Droids can copy any voice they've heard, even the droidspeak of other droids. |
| 707 | * WeAreStrugglingTogether: She and the Fifth Brother are actively competing against each other since the Grand Inquisitor's death opened up opportunities for advancement in the Inquisitorius. |
| 708 | * WeHardlyKnewYe: [[spoiler:Dies without much characterization or backstory.]] |
| 709 | * WhyDidYouMakeMeHitYou: While trying to MindRape Ezra, she tells him that '''he''' is making her do this by not telling her what she needs to know. |
| 710 | * TheWorfEffect: |
| 711 | ** When she goes up against Ahsoka in [[Recap/StarWarsRebelsS2E08TheFutureOfTheForce "The Future of the Force"]], she can't land a hit, and Ahsoka goes so far as to deliberately lower her guard so the Seventh Sister has an opening, only to catch her lightsaber mid-swing, deactivate it, then take it from her before Force-pushing her into a pillar hard enough to crack it. |
| 712 | ** She's at least able to hold her own against Ahsoka, even though the more experienced ex-Jedi is clearly the superior fighter. In contrast, she and the other Inquisitors are forced to straight up run away from [[spoiler:Maul, who later kills her effortlessly after Ezra refuses to do it.]] |
| 713 | * YouHaveOutlivedYourUsefulness: Invokes this by indicating she plans to kill Ezra and Sabine once they have served as bait to lure in Ahsoka and Kanan. |

| 739 | * FlatCharacter: He's another Inquisitor who tags along with the Seventh Sister and Fifth Brother, but he has no characteristics beyond being more of a self-preservationist with a reckless streak. |
| 740 | * KnowWhenToFoldEm: Despite his impulsive nature, he knows when to back down from a fight he can't win. For example: |
| 741 | ** He runs from Ahsoka and Jarrus since they outnumber him. |
| 742 | ** After his allies are killed and he is left alone to face two Jedi and a renegade Sith, he has the sense to throw in the towel and book it... unfortunately, his saber was too damaged and he wound up dying anyway. |
| 743 | * LastEpisodeNewCharacter: He first appears in the two-part finale of Season Two. |
| 744 | * NobodyHereButUsStatues: He's seen hiding among the plaster cast corpses of Malachor. |
| 745 | * OlderThanTheyLook: Or, older than they act. He sounds young (especially since his voice actor often voices young men) and is implicitly looked down on for being younger & making bold and brash decisions. One could assume that he's in his twenties. [[spoiler:''Dark Lord of the Sith'' reveals that he's the same age as he was a decade and a half ago before the events of ''Rebels'']], meaning that either Terrelian Jango Jumpers age slowly, his age has been artificially halted, or he's always been a cocky PsychopathicManChild. |
| 746 | * SpikesOfVillainy: On his ''lightsaber''. |
| 747 | * StealthyMook: Ezra, Kanan, and Ahsoka failed to sense his presence on Malachor even though he was actively trailing after them. |
| 748 | * StuffBlowingUp: Uses bombs for attacks from a distance when he still needs his lightsaber. |
| 749 | * ThrowDownTheBomblet: He tosses bombs as a part of his personal arsenal. |
| 750 | * TooDumbToLive: He tries flying away with his broken spinning lightsaber. [[DisneyVillainDeath It ends about as well as you'd expect]]. |
| 751 | * VoiceOfTheLegion: Like the Seventh Sister, there's an odd reverb to his voice. |
| 752 | * WeHardlyKnewYe: Falls to his death in the same episode he's introduced. |
| 753 | * WreckedWeapon: His lightsaber splits into two in mid-flight, thanks to Kanan slashing the ring mechanism just prior. |

| 760 | !!!'''Species:''' Dowutin |
| 761 | !!!'''Homeworld:''' Duwut |
| 762 | |
| 763 | ->'''Voiced by:''' Creator/MistyLee |
| 764 | ->'''Appearances:''' ''[[Literature/StarWarsInquisitorRiseOfTheRedBlade Inquisitor: Rise of the Red Blade]]'' | ''[[ComicBook/DarthVaderDarkLordOfTheSith Dark Lord of the Sith]]'' | ''[[VideoGame/StarWarsJediFallenOrder Jedi: Fallen Order]]'' | ''[[VideoGame/StarWarsJediSurvivor Jedi: Survivor]]'' |
| 765 | |
| 766 | ->''"Me, though? I'm the sensitive type. I was always good at reading emotions, and now that I'm touching the dark side, I'm even better."'' |
| 767 | |
| 768 | An Inquisitor that assisted Vader early on in his hunt for surviving Force-sensitives. |
| 769 | ---- |
| 770 | * AlasPoorVillain: [[spoiler:In the end, her complete mental subjugation to the Inquisitorius proves too great for her to move past, and Cal is forced to [[MercyKill put her down]] after a reminder of her former identity drives her to a borderline feral rage. Despite everything she put him through, Cal is noticeably shaken up when he finishes her off.]] |
| 771 | * ArcVillain: The main villain of the Kashyyyk arc of ''Jedi: Fallen Order''. |
| 772 | * AffablyEvil: She's casual, even around ''[[BadBoss Vader]]'', even when he makes it clear that his patience is waning regarding it. The Thirteenth Sister/Iskat Akaris views her as one of the few Inquisitors she can practice dueling against safely because of her more affable nature. However, this doesn't apply to her targets. |
| 773 | * AnArmAndALeg: After Barr turns their Purge Troopers against them using Order 66, Sixth Brother cuts off Ninth Sister's leg and leaves her for dead as he flees so that they go after her instead. However, she apparently survived the incident as indicated by her appearance in ''Jedi: Fallen Order'', where she is sporting a robotic leg. [[spoiler:Cal cuts off her hand in their final duel, but it doesn't do much to slow her down, forcing Cal to shove her off the tree top.]] |
| 774 | -->'''Ninth Sister''': Being an Inquisitor taught me that no set-back is too great. When you've already lost yourself... ''A limb's easy.'' |
| 775 | * AndYourLittleDogToo: Threatens to kill Cere and Greez while dueling with Cal. |
| 776 | -->'''Ninth Sister''': Who should I kill first, the human or the Lateron?! |
| 777 | * BackForTheDead: [[spoiler:She survives her DisneyVillainDeath fall on Kashyyk in ''Fallen Order'', returning to serve as the first boss in ''Jedi Survivor'', where Cal puts her down for good.]] |
| 778 | * BeingTorturedMakesYouEvil: In ''Fallen Order,'' she eventually goes on an increasingly furious rant while fighting Cal Kestis about how the torture that goes into making an Inquisitor -- how the Empire will rip him to pieces and stitch the broken pieces together until there's nothing of him left, clearly projecting her own past to him. |
| 779 | -->'''Ninth Sister:''' It'd be fun to bring you in. Watch you crack like the rest of us! Angers you. Just wait 'til the Isolation. ''Torture.'' '''Mutilation.''' '''''[[AndYourLittleDogToo And your friends...]]'''''\ |
| 780 | '''Cal:''' I won't let you touch them!\ |
| 781 | '''Ninth Sister:''' '''''YOU CAN'T STOP THE EMPIRE!'''''\ |
| 782 | '''Cal:''' [[ShutUpHannibal I can stop YOU!]] |
| 783 | * BetrayalByInaction: When the [[BadassFamily Cha family]] come to kill Vader with an EMP, Ninth leaves Vader to his fate by pretending to have her comm link be too fried to hear his demand for assistance. This leaves her with just enough deniability to spare her his wrath when he survives and returns for her. |
| 784 | * BondVillainStupidity: At the start of ''Fallen Order'' when Cal is first uncovered on Bracca, he is thrown by the Second Sister into the Ninth's grip. With Cal defenseless and being held by the scruff of the neck, she ''could'' kill him in any manner of efficient ways, but instead opts to turn around and toss him off a cliff. He survives thanks to a passing train and goes on to defeat her in their next confrontation much later. |
| 785 | * BrawnHilda: She is as massive and brutish as a typical [[ProudWarriorRaceGuy Dowutin]], and compared to other Inquisitors, especially the Second Sister who she hunts Cal alongside, she relies more on her natural strength in place of acrobatics or agility. |
| 786 | * BrokenBird: An apparent once gentle giant and heroic Jedi, who was broken down by the Empire into a deeply cynical Jedi hunter. |
| 787 | * TheBrute: The largest known Inquisitor, even bigger than the Fifth Brother. [[AwesomeButImpractical This is lampshaded as a problem later]], as she cannot perform acrobatics like the smaller Inquisitors, but she's definitely the toughest of them. |
| 788 | * CombatClairvoyance: [[spoiler:How she utilizes her ability to read people in combat, come ''Survivor''. She looks into Cal's mind to see how he plans to attack and then [[SuperReflexes quickly dodges his strikes]]. This comes with the downside of [[AwesomeButImpractical needing her to stop attacking to focus]] her mind and loses its reliability when Cal begins DualWielding.]] |
| 789 | * {{Determinator}}: [[spoiler:A dark example. Even after losing her eye, leg, and hand, the Ninth Sister keeps on fighting. After all, limbs are easily replaced when you've lost everything else, including yourself.]] |
| 790 | * TheDeadHaveNames: The achievement for defeating her is literally named "Her name was Masana Tide" (which is the only time it is stated in game). This is combined with her having spent the whole fight bragging about how much stronger she believes 'losing' herself made her & the knowing way she's spent the game telling Cal Inquisitors always 'break' their quarry 'in the end'. |
| 791 | * DeathByIrony: Apparently so. During the opening of ''Fallen Order'', she attempts to kill Cal Kestis by [[spoiler:throwing him over a cliff. At the end of their fight on Kashyyyk, he puts her down -- at least for the time being until ''Jedi Survivor'' -- by doing exactly that]]. |
| 792 | * DisneyVillainDeath: [[spoiler:Cal seemingly kills the Ninth Sister by using the Force to shove her off the Origin Tree, but even the in-game database points out that you NeverFoundTheBody until ''Jedi Survivor'', which [[SarcasmMode happily]] confirms her survival... [[BackForTheDead though not for long.]]]] |
| 793 | * DoNotCallMePaul: Non-verbal example. When Cal addresses her by her true name during their rematch in ''Suvivor'', it clearly gets under the Ninth Sister's skin, as it dredges up all the negative feelings she has toward herself. |
| 794 | * TheEmpath: She claims that her power in the Force mainly revolves around sensing others' emotions. She only demonstrates this by reading Vader's desire to fight and kill Jedi, [[CaptainObvious which anyone with a modicum of sensibility would feel anyway]], but she did also sense his [[DeathSeeker desire to die]]. |
| 795 | ** [[spoiler:She later uses this ability offensively during her duel against Cal Kestis in ''Jedi: Survivor'', playing mind games by calling him out on his guilt and even anticipating his attacks by going into a PstandardPsychicPstance.]] |
| 796 | * EvenEvilHasStandards: Looks into Vader's mind, and decides [[HorrifyingTheHorror he's a monster who deserves to die.]] While she never makes the mistake of trying to take him out herself, she doesn't hesitate to leave him at the mercy of others when the opportunity arises. |
| 797 | * EvilIsBigger: No smaller or skinnier then is typical of a Dowutin, whose average height is 8-9 feet tall, and the physical contrast between herself and Cal is made abundantly clear throughout their confrontations. |
| 798 | * EyeScream: She suffered her first in what would be several "lessons in loss" for her specifically when her left eye was slashed out by Vader [[TrainingFromHell while he trained her and the other Inquisitors.]] |
| 799 | * FantasticRacism: Openly looks down on Cal for being a "Bracca scrap rat" and throws out insults over it in her [[BossBanter taunts during her boss fight]]. [[spoiler:She even brings it back up during her taunts in ''Survivor'']]. Given the planet is run by the Scrapper's Guild, who were once [[TheQuisling Separatist sympathizers]], she may hold old grudges over the people for supporting the faction she fought against in the Clone Wars. |
| 800 | -->'''Ninth:''' Once a rat, ''always'' a rat! |
| 801 | * ForceAndFinesse: The brutish, physically imposing, and [[LargeHam thunderous]] Force to the Second Sister's nimble, calculating, and [[ColdHam reserved]] Finesse who make up the duo of Inquisitors pursuing Cal throughout ''Fallen Order''. |
| 802 | * GentleGiant: She claims she ''was'' one before she had her FaceHeelTurn. |
| 803 | * GlorySeeker: [[spoiler:She notes Cal's development into an infamous figure as the most well-known surviving Jedi among both the Inquisitorius and general public in the five years following their first encounter. During their duel on Coruscant, she comments with a sadistic glee that killing him will make her a legend.]] |
| 804 | * GroundPunch: One of her attacks is to kneel down and punch the ground several times, sending out a wave of dangerous ash kicking up in all directions with each impact. Cal must either jump over the rings of smoke, or back off to the edges of the arena until she is finished. |
| 805 | * HandicappedBadass: A dangerous, skilled and downright ''unstoppable'' combatant even after losing an eye and later, one of her legs. [[spoiler:When she returns in ''Survivor'', she is still a threat to the much more [[TookALevelInBadass skilled]] Cal despite also losing her dominant hand last time they fought.]] |
| 806 | * HeroKiller: [[spoiler:By the time Cal leaves Coruscant, she is responsible for the death of the entire crew he assembled between games. She directly kills the Klatooinian twins, while Gabs is killed by gunship fire she orders on Cal, and even after her death, Bravo is shot down by Imperial troops while he, Cal, and [[SixthRanger new guy Bode]] make their getaway.]] |
| 807 | * HornedHumanoid: Like every other Dowutin, she has two horns on her chin. |
| 808 | * HornsOfVillainy: She has two horns on her chin and is a vicious and relentless Inquisitor. |
| 809 | * ImmaturityInsult: During her [[ShutUpKirk shutdown]] of Ferren Barr and his attempt to remind them of their old ways, she reveals they know all about his past as well. She mocks him as a "Little baby," for only being an overly ambitious Padawan with no one left to ever make him anything more. |
| 810 | * IronicName: In Xitsongu, "masana" means sunrise. Considering she's a FallenHero from the EndOfAnEra, a [[FaceHeelTurn sun]]''[[StartOfDarkness set]]'' (which is also associated with twilight) would better fit her. |
| 811 | * ItsPersonal: [[spoiler:Following her defeat in ''Fallen Order'' she harbors a personal grudge against Cal that lasts years after Kashyyyk. When they finally meet again on Coruscant in ''Survivor'', she relishes in finally making good on her threat to [[AndYourLittleDogToo kill his friends]] and face him again.]] |
| 812 | * KickTheDog: Before her duel with Cal on Kashyyyk, she tries to kill the [[LastOfTheirKind extremely rare]] Shyyyo bird from her gunship. This action also sets the peak of the Origin Tree, a landmark important for the nature-loving Wookie's [[RiteOfPassage coming of age rituals]], ablaze. |
| 813 | * LiteralDisarming: [[spoiler:In their final fight in ''Fallen Order'', Cal Kestis cuts her sword hand off. It doesn't slow the Ninth Sister too much as she continues to fight with her left, and Cal has to resort to Force-pushing her off a tall drop to beat her.]] |
| 814 | * MadeOfIron: She is ridiculously hardy, which seems to be owed to her Dowutin parentage. Other then shrugging off the loss of limbs with relative ease, at the end of their duel, Cal slashes her across the back with his lightsaber and she is only momentarily stunned by the strike. [[spoiler:In ''Survivor'', being slashed across the chest staggers her, but doesn't stop her from going back on the offensive until being killed in a [[OffWithHisHead far more finite manner.]]]] |
| 815 | * MindOverMatter: Displays an affection for the use of telekinesis in combat. In her boss battle, she [[YouWillNotEvadeMe drags Cal toward her with the Force]] if he stays out of her range for too long. [[spoiler:In ''Survivor'', she [[ImpaledWithExtremePrejudice skewers Senator Sejan through the chest]] with her lightsaber and then pulls him through the air to her hand by the saber.]] |
| 816 | * NeverFoundTheBody: [[spoiler:We never see what became of her after Cal shoves her off the Origin Tree. He's confident it's the last he'll see of the Ninth Sister, but she's been [[NotQuiteDead left for dead]] before, and even the in-game database entry questions whether she's ''really'' dead...]] |
| 817 | ** [[spoiler:Sure enough, she returns for ''Jedi Survivor'' as the [[BackForTheDead first boss, with Cal finally putting her down for good]].]] |
| 818 | * OffscreenMomentOfAwesome: |
| 819 | ** After her leg is cut off, she successfully fights off the remaining half-dozen Purge Troopers the Sixth Brother left her to the mercy of and escapes Mon Cala off-panel. |
| 820 | ** [[spoiler:Following her defeat in ''Fallen Order'', she survives a fall from the tallest tree on Kashyyyk, and proceeds to escape the [[EverythingTryingToKillYou Shadowlands]] alone, one-handed, and completely offscreen.]] |
| 821 | * OffWithHisHead: [[spoiler:How Cal finishes his fight with her in ''Jedi Survivor''. She isn't coming back for round three]]. |
| 822 | * RemovingTheRival: [[spoiler:Her killing of Senator Sejan is a mix of this and OffingTheAnnoyance. She correctly deduces he was going behind the Inquisitor's backs and took Cal himself to undercut them, and disposes of him under the pretense of "harboring a traitor" to prevent the Jedi killers from being redundant in the eyes of the Emperor. (Sejan [[BullyingADragon running his mouth]] didn't make it any harder).]] |
| 823 | * SadClown: Compared to the other Inquisitors (and most dark siders in general), she is very jovial and sarcastic -- which at first sells how little she cares about the people she's hurt. But under duress, she reveals the truth of all Inquisitors: she was tortured and broken to become the way she has, and she hates herself for it. |
| 824 | * SinisterShades: All of her helmets come with a connected pair of thick, red-tinted transparisteel covers over both eyes. They may serve the practical purpose of enhancing her vision in some way, considering Dowutins are genetically predisposed to poor eyesight, on top of her being [[EyeScream one eye short]]. |
| 825 | * StarterVillain: Of ''Survivor'', to showcase how much stronger and more confident in himself Cal has become since their first duel on Kashyyyk. |
| 826 | * TeethClenchedTeamwork: For unknown reasons, her affability does not extend to the Sixth Brother. She gladly makes a crack about his scent along with the Tenth Brother, and when push comes to shove on Mon Cala, Sixth doesn't hesitate to sever her leg and leave her for dead. |
| 827 | * TerminatorImpersonator: While not a robotic being, she fits some of the trope's perks such as an ImplacableMan who survives various limb disarming while replacing them with cybernetics, survives near death experiences, relentlessly hunts down Jedi, and will not stop ever until the Empire rules the entire galaxy. |
| 828 | * TheyJustDontGetIt: She claims that her Force specialty is that she's a people-person. After talking to Vader, she remarks to herself that he doesn't even know himself; that he wants to fight because [[DeathSeeker he wants to die]]. |
| 829 | * TrashTalk: Ninth Sister is scathing during her [[spoiler:fight with Cal]]. |
| 830 | -->'''Ninth Sister''': What's this? A Bracca scrap rat playing Jedi? I told the Grand Inquisitor you wouldn't be stupid enough to show your face here again, especially after we wiped out that feeble resistance. Love it when I'm wrong. |
| 831 | * TurnTheOtherCheek: She doesn't hold it against Vader for cutting out her eye, but it seems to be more that she's accepted that she can't do anything about it than not caring at all. When Vader gets caught in an ambush and calls for her to bring him a lightsaber (having lost his own), she pretends she never received the message. |
| 832 | * UncertainDoom: She likes to dance with this trope. When the Purge Troopers turned on her and Sixth Brother in ''The Burning Seas'', the latter severed her leg and left her for dead. She managed to survive and came back with a prosthetic leg to hunt for Cal in ''Fallen Order''. [[spoiler:She seemingly meets her demise once again when Cal shoves her off the Origin Tree, [[NeverFoundTheBody but we're never shown what happened to her]] and the in-game database questions whether she's really dead. ''Jedi Survivor'' reveals that, yes, she did survive, and she comes back for another round against Cal. This time, [[OffWithHisHead she isn't so lucky]].]] |
| 833 | * UnderestimatingBadassery: Repeatedly dismisses Cal as "trash" to the point she begins their duel with [[WillfullyWeak only one of her lightsaber's dual blades]] active. To her credit, [[TurnsRed she course corrects when he starts to land blows on her]], but it's clear from her taunts she never sees him as a worthy opponent even as he gets the better of her. |
| 834 | * VillainForgotToLevelGrind: [[spoiler:Downplayed in ''Jedi Survivor'', as Ninth Sister ''did'' take the time to train and has new powers to use against Cal. Unfortunately for her, Cal has trained even more than she has, and defeats her [[OffWithHisHead permanently]] in their rematch]]. |
| 835 | * VillainousBreakdown: Goes into a furious rant at Cal Kestis about how his efforts to fight the Empire are futile after [[spoiler:being dismembered]], leaving her open [[spoiler:to Cal pushing her off the edge]]. She has another one in ''Jedi Survivor'' when Cal calls her by her real name and reminds her of her time as a Jedi Knight. She can only pace in silent anger and confusion at this, not even offering her usual threats, before she finally attacks and leaves herself open to let him land the final blow. |

| 846 | |
| 847 | ->''"I feel an unease in the Force. All of our teachings and our beliefs are being tested. I find myself unsure of the steps in front of me."'' |
| 848 | |
| 849 | A Miraluka Jedi Knight. In place of his species' lack of physical sight, his intuition and insight have made him valuable to the Jedi Order to the point he was acknowledged as such by Mace Windu and the Jedi Council. Because of his skill, Master Windu recruited him on a reconnaissance mission to Hissrich. |
| 850 | |
| 851 | However, the events of that mission caused Proset to lose faith in the Jedi and Republic, falling to the Dark Side. He was eventually recruited as an Inquisitor by Darth Sidious and alongside the Sixth Brother and Ninth Sister, accompanied Vader in subjugating the early rebellion on Mon Cala. |
| 852 | ---- |
| 853 | * AmbiguousSituation: It is currently unknown why he was absent from Vader's first introduction to the Inquisitorius. |
| 854 | * BlindWeaponmaster: Like other well-known Miraluka characters before him, he qualifies as this. Despite his lack of eyes, his enhanced senses and strong Force aptitude allow him to fight with as much skill as any Jedi Master. |
| 855 | * CanonImmigrant: He was the first known Miraluka to be introduced into canon. |
| 856 | * ConspiracyTheorist: He ultimately came to the conclusion that the Jedi Council was profiteering off of the Clone War, and encouraging the ensuing desolation for their own benefit -- which, while the Jedi did go adrift in other ways thanks to the war, never even ''approached'' being true. Ultimately, this belief enrages him so much that he tries to kill Mace and happily joins the Inquisitors years later to hunt down Jedi survivors of the Purge. |
| 857 | * DeadpanSnarker: Has a dry quip every now and then. This trend continues as an Inquisitor, as seen with the exchange upon arrival to Mon Cala in ''The Burning Seas''. |
| 858 | -->'''Tenth Brother:''' [[CaptainObvious Smells like fish.]]\ |
| 859 | '''Ninth Sister:''' That's just Sixth Brother.\ |
| 860 | '''Tenth Brother:''' ''More'' like fish, then.\ |
| 861 | '''Sixth Brother:''' [[TheStoic Hilarious.]] |
| 862 | * DualWielding: Unusually for an Inquisitor, he has ''two'' lightsabers, which appear to be single-bladed shotos. Whether this is a result of his Inquisitor lightsaber being cleaved in half (which has happened in ''Series/ObiWanKenobi'' and the LooseCanon ''[[WesternAnimation/LegoStarWarsTheFreemakerAdventures The Freemaker Adventures]]''), he's an exception[[note]](It should be noted Inquisitors in ''Legends'' used normal lightsabers)[[/note]], or something else is currently unknown. |
| 863 | * EyelessFace: Being a Miraluka, Prosset doesn't have either eyes or eye sockets. |
| 864 | * FaceFramedInShadow: Since Miraluka (at least according to ''Legends'') don't have eye sockets, they usually wear something over where it would be so that other people don't get disturbed by it or that part of their body isn't really important to show. Prosset's hood is shorter than what we've seen so far from previous Miraluka, so whenever art shows where his eyes would be, they're scribbled in shadow. |
| 865 | * FaceHeelTurn: Frustrated with the Jedi Order's inability to protect others and maintain peace as a result of taking up military titles in the Clone Wars, he blames the Jedi Council for this and fights Mace. Though he voiced the intent to leave the Jedi Order to follow his own path, Mace apprehends him and sends him to the Council to be processed. The Council would've sentenced him to ''death'' had Mace not vouched for him to work probation in the Archives instead. Somewhere along the way, it leads to him joining the Inquisitors. |
| 866 | * FantasticRacism: Shows a disdain for the Clones even as a Jedi, seeing them as an expendable force who are good only for following ingrained orders. His last words are to [[{{Hypocrite}} disparage them for doing exactly that]], to his detriment. |
| 867 | * FiveSecondForeshadowing: In ''Dark Lord of the Sith'' Issue #16, it gets mentioned that he has no eyes (in case you couldn't tell from the artstyle) and that he has excellent hearing to make up for it. It gets indirectly confirmed at the end of the issue that he is a Miraluka when Ferren Barr identifies him as Prosset Dibs. |
| 868 | * {{Foreshadowing}}: While arguing with Mace about whether or not the Council is corrupt, Mace dismisses his claims as "bold accusations" and "grand inquisitions". |
| 869 | * HistoryRepeats: Later in the Clone Wars, Barriss would have similar views to Dibs and would lash out against the Jedi Order as well, though in a more carefully planned way. |
| 870 | * KarmicDeath: He turned to the Dark Side over disillusionment with the Jedi Order for their increasing militarization and self-interest. By the time he is an Inquisitor (who serve a significant role in [[BecameTheirOwnAntithesis enforcing a militarized fascist government]]), he is killed by the last remaining troops of the soldiers the Jedi led into battle after Ferren Barr (who he tried to hunt) makes them execute Order 66. |
| 871 | * MultipleGunshotDeath: The Purge Troopers gun him down when Ferren Barr activates their inhibitor chips and makes them execute Order 66. |
| 872 | * NiceJobBreakingItHero: Mace turning in Prosset Dibs to the Jedi Council instead of letting him pursue his own path ultimately leads to Prosset becoming the Tenth Brother. In fairness, there's no telling if he still would've been troublesome if he had been let go anyways. |
| 873 | * NonStandardCharacterDesign: His outfit is more robe-like than what we've seen from Inquisitors so far, not to mention that he dual-wields. |
| 874 | * PungeonMaster: He is particularly fond of eye-related puns that poke fun of his lack of sight. |
| 875 | * ReverseGrip: As an Inquisitor, this is how he holds his two lightsabers. |
| 876 | * StarterVillain: He is the first Fallen Jedi to be fought during the Clone Wars, but [[Recap/StarWarsTheCloneWarsUmbaraArc certainly not]] [[Recap/StarWarsTheCloneWarsAhsokaTheFugitiveArc the last]]... |
| 877 | * StarterVillainStays: As the Tenth Brother, after the end of the Clone Wars. |
| 878 | * WeHardlyKnewYe: He is killed in the issue right after Barr reveals that he is Prosset Dibs. |

| 896 | * AllOfTheOtherReindeer: A training accident that left Tika crippled and led to her leaving the Jedi Order caused the rest of Iskat's cohort, with the exception of Tualon, to shun her out of fear and dislike. Iskat's enhanced hearing allowed her to overhear their whispers about her and other comments putting her down. |
| 897 | * AmazingTechnicolorPopulation: She's of the Pkorian, a red-skinned species. Combine that with her CreepyLongFingers and sadism, and you have this demon-like woman. |
| 898 | * AscendedExtra: From a completely unidentified Inquisitor who was introduced and killed off in the span of two issues, to the protagonist of ''Rise of the Red Blade'', which delved into her mindset and past, as well as revealing her real name and Inquisitor title. |
| 899 | * BeenThereShapedHistory: Iskat is the reason why the Seventh Sister uses the [=ID9=] Seeker Droids throughout the events of ''Rebels'', since she used the Force to pull down a swarm of spiderbats during their duel. [[spoiler:She's also the reason why the Inquisitorius is moved from the Inquisitorius Headquarters on Coruscant to Fortress Inquisitorius on Nur, since her and Tualon's death at Vader's hands caused some collateral damage and killed a Gran senator that was vital to Palpatine's plans during the chase to kill them.]] |
| 900 | * BoyishShortHair: When she becomes an Inquisitor after fighting in the Clone Wars, Vader cuts her long hair off and burns her scalp with his lightsaber, forcing Iskat to keep it short. |
| 901 | * CombatPragmatist: She uses the Force to send down a bunch of spider bats on the Seventh Sister during their duel. This inspires the Seventh Sister to have [=ID9=] Seeker Droids as her support lackeys during Jedi hunting. |
| 902 | * CreepyLongFingers: Not that she can help it, being a characteristic of the Pkorian, though she does the "creepy" part on her own. |
| 903 | * FaceDeathWithDignity: She is composed in her final moments along with Tualon after they fail to kill Vader, only apologizing that the friendship they maintained led them to their deaths. |
| 904 | * GroinAttack: 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]]. |
| 905 | * HiddenDepths: When Vader lashes out at them for her betrayal, she and Tualon decide after that they'd rather try to kill him and get their freedom instead of going back to resolve the matter, since they'd probably be killed or [[FateWorseThanDeath worse.]] |
| 906 | * ImpaledWithExtremePrejudice: She is run through with Tualon's lightsaber blade at the [[MutualKill same moment as him.]] |
| 907 | * IronicEcho: [[spoiler:After killing Klefan Opus on Firrhana, she gives the same lecture he gave her when Sember Vey was killed during the First Battle of Geonosis.]] |
| 908 | -->'''Iskat Akaris:''' Rejoice, for he is now one with the Force. |
| 909 | * ItGetsEasier: Due to killing some Geonisians, as well as the Clone Wars taking their toll on the Jedi, Iskat slowly yearns for killing enemies by the pound, which is not Jedi behavior, since their teachings urge Jedi in training to preserve life, not take it. It's chillingly demonstrated during her first days as an Inquisitor when she murders Heezo. |
| 910 | * KickTheMoralityPet: [[spoiler:She kills Heezo, one of Palpatine’s spies and a former washed out Jedi Padawan now droid mechanic of the nearly dead Jedi Order who she felt comfortable talking to back when she was a Jedi, feeling darkly comfortable doing so, since she doesn’t want the other Inquisitors such as the Fifth Brother and Seventh Sister to know secrets of her past.]] |
| 911 | * MirrorCharacter: With Anakin Skywalker. Both are Jedi Padawans that reacted harshly to other Jedi Padawans mentioning difficulties with their emotions under their breath, committed a mass killing of desert species after they murdered someone close to them (Tusken Raiders after they killed Shimi who was Anakin's mother, Geonosians for Fovorn, as well as her master Sember Vey), thrust into the Clone Wars and knighted after the First Battle of Geonosis, while struggling to keep their emotions in check during the Clone Wars, which causes them to fall to the Dark Side. In addition, both even have the honor of talking to Chancellor Palpatine/Darth Sidious and have a snarky protocol droid sidekick, though while Anakin/Vader created C-3PO as a child, Iskat was given 6-RA-7 by the Inquisitorius. |
| 912 | * MutualKill: Vader uses the Force to make Iskat and Tualon impale each other with their lightsabers. |
| 913 | * PunishedForSympathy: She has no idea ''why'' Vader suddenly decides to slice her head off, not knowing the Fifth Brother has denounced her for being willing to let the child escape. |
| 914 | * 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 they represent, and for holding back her true potential.]] |
| 915 | * ReassignedToAntarctica: Despite the success of the mission on Thule, Jedi Masters Adi Galla and Yoda keep her grounded on the Jedi Temple by having her teach the Younglings the Jedi Code, mediation lessons and the such for 2 years since blowing up that droid factory on Thule killed civilians underneath it. [[NiceJobBreakingItHero Unfortunately for them just like with the other Inquisitors mentioned on here, this would only fuel Iskat's rage and hatred towards the Jedi, since she wanted answers about her homeworld and mother]]. |
| 916 | * RiddleForTheAges: Did she intend to let the child go and only acted to cover herself, or was she doing a KickTheDog by giving the mother false hope before seizing it back again? Did she fail in her duty, or was she just the victim of Vader's twisted desire to kill ''anyone'' now he'd run out of genuine Jedi to kill? [[spoiler:''Rise of the Red Blade'' has Iskat believing that Vader had sensed the love between her and Tualon and sought to destroy them for it.]] |
| 917 | * {{Sadist}}: When Eeth Koth's wife Mira asks her "woman to woman" to let her and her baby go, the Thirteenth Sister gives them a HopeSpot by letting them get to the ship. As the ship takes off, [[KickTheDog she uses the Force to steal the baby at the last second, causing great grief and distress to the mother]]. When asked why she did this by her fellow Inquisitors, she cites that this incident will forever scar the woman from ever trusting another woman or ''anyone'' ever again. |
| 918 | -->''"I took her baby, and I took her soul."'' |
| 919 | * SpareBodyParts: She has two hearts, a fact that saves her a couple times from what could have been fatal injuries had she only a single heart where a human's was. |
| 920 | * SupernaturalSensitivity: When she was a Jedi Padawan, she could hear even the silentest whispers from her fellow Padawans and feel death during the First Battle of Geonosis. During the time of the Empire, she detects Eeth Koth's child by her influence on the Force. |
| 921 | * VillainProtagonist: She is the main protagonist of the book ''Inquisitor: Rise of the Red Blade'', which shows her descent from a volatile, but still well-meaning Jedi to a remorseless Inquisitor. |
| 922 | * VillainousFriendship: With Tualon. Apparently, they've set up a hobby to drink a local alcoholic beverage for each time they've killed a Jedi there. Turns out that [[ChronicBackstabbingDisorder for once in this organization]], they do [[MinionShipping genuinely care about each other]], as they defend each other from Vader's assault (as he wants to punish her for her treachery) and flee together. ''Inquisitor: Rise of the Red Blade'' reveals this friendship was around since they were Jedi. |
| 923 | * WhyDontYouJustShootHim: Assuming Vader wasn't [[WoundedGazelleGambit just pretending]], their only hope would have been if she had killed him ''immediately'' when Vader is injured by a falling statue. Instead she pauses to give a brief TheReasonYouSuckSpeech. |
| 924 | * WouldHurtAChild: Even before she became an Inquisitor, she accidentally crippled Tika during her Jedi training. During the mission to kill Eeth Koth, she doesn't care about the well-being of Eeth Koth's newborn daughter, and at one point, she carries her by ''her head'' between her CreepyLongFingers. Somewhat subverted in that she was going to originally return the child to her mother Mira, showing at least mild caring about the child, and only took it back to save her own skin when she was seen. |

| 937 | An Inquisitor that, alongside the Fifth Brother and Iskat, accompanied Vader in confronting Eeth Koth and abducting his newborn. |
| 938 | ---- |
| 939 | * AlienHair: Being a Twi'lek, he has lekku (head-tails) in place of hair. |
| 940 | * AmazingTechnicolorPopulation: Interestingly, he's the only black-skinned Twi'lek we've ever seen in ''Star Wars''. |
| 941 | * AscendedExtra: From a completely unidentified Inquisitor who was introduced and killed off in the span of two issues, to the {{Deuteragonist}} of ''Rise of the Red Blade'', which named him and showed his past as a Jedi. |
| 942 | * BadLiar: During the mission to recruit Ginntho on Olgothon 3, he claims to the deep voice that they were looking for fuel, causing the voice, later revealed to be [[spoiler:Ginntho herself]] to try and shoot down their ship with weapons aimed at them. It takes Iskat, of all people, to tell the truth of why they were coming to Olgothon 3 for [[spoiler:Ginntho to stand down and allow them passage.]] |
| 943 | * BrainwashedAndCrazy: He was amongst the Jedi who were captured and tortured into becoming an Inquisitor over the course of months, with the promise of revenge against Iskat for leaving him to die in Order 66 helping to finally break him. |
| 944 | * FaceDeathWithDignity: He is composed and holds himself accountable for his crimes as an Inquisitor in his final moments, even joking about the implausibility they would have died peacefully in their occupation. |
| 945 | * HiddenDepths: |
| 946 | ** While Vader attacks Iskat for her treachery, Tualon blocks Vader's attempted strike at the Thirteenth Sister. Later, she says that she was surprised and touched that he would do that for her. |
| 947 | ** When Vader lashes out at Iskat for her betrayal, and Tualon defends her, also making himself a traitor, they decide after that they'd rather try to kill him and get their freedom instead of going back to resolve the matter, since they'd probably be killed or [[FateWorseThanDeath worse.]] |
| 948 | * IDieFree: His last words before Vader telekinetically forces him and Iskat to perform a MutualKill. |
| 949 | -->"And at least now we'll be [[KilledMidSentence fr--]]" |
| 950 | * ImpaledWithExtremePrejudice: He is run through with Iskat's lightsaber blade at the [[MutualKill same moment as her.]] |
| 951 | * JerkWithAHeartOfGold: He may lash out at the person that Iskat was becoming and her recklessness, but cares for her deep down, even having to steal the credit of Iskat successfully recruiting [[spoiler:Ginntho to the Republic]] so she wouldn't be reprimanded by the Jedi. Even when Order 66 goes down and Captain Spider and his men shoot Sunghi while aiming their blasters at him and Iskat, he urges Iskat to not join the Dark Side, though Iskat refuses and leaves him at the mercy of 2 of Spider's men, causing him to be captured while he was fighting them off. |
| 952 | * LoveIsAWeakness: He instinctively blocks Vader's lightsaber when he tries to execute Iskat. Vader immediately identifies the reason. |
| 953 | -->'''Vader:''' I sensed a connection between the two of you. An attachment. A '''weakness''' you believe is a '''strength'''. |
| 954 | * MutualKill: Vader uses the Force to make them lightsaber each other. |
| 955 | * ScaryTeeth: He has sharp teeth that resemble that of the Grand Inquisitor's. |
| 956 | * TemptingFate: He was saying that Vader will never run out of people to kill right before Vader turns up and tries to strike down Iskat right in front of him. |
| 957 | * VillainousFriendship: With Iskat, the Thirteenth Sister. Apparently, they've set up a hobby to drink a local alcoholic beverage for each time they've killed a Jedi there. Turns out that [[ChronicBackstabbingDisorder for once in this organization]], they do [[MinionShipping genuinely care about each other]], as they defend each other from Vader's attacks (as he wants to execute Iskat for her "betrayal", and now Tualon for defending her) and flee together. ''Inquisitor: Rise of the Red Blade'' reveals they've been friends ever since they were Jedi. |
| 958 | * YouAreInCommandNow: During the mission on Thule, he takes Josk Nivar's place as General of the company of Clones, since Nivar was poisoned by the birds that attacked him after he struck his climbing spike on a slug. Tualon retains this position for the rest of the war until Order 66 goes live. |

| 970 | A member of the Nardithi Nightsisters, a sect of the Nightsisters, who was trained by an Inquisitor as an apprentice. She desires power at the cost of others. |
| 971 | ---- |
| 972 | * AmbitionIsEvil: She wants power and more of it. Unsurprising, given the ambitions of other Inquisitors, such as the Third Sister and the Fifth Brother. |
| 973 | * AxCrazy: Good Lord, yes! She's more insane than the other Inquisitors we've seen throughout the franchise. |
| 974 | * BastardUnderstudy: She eventually killed her Inquisitor master and took her lightsaber. |
| 975 | * BraidsOfAction: She has her hair tied this way and is a deadly mercenary. |
| 976 | * CoolMask: She is shown wearing a face-concealing mask in a character art for ''Ghosts of Dathomir''. |

| 989 | ->'''Played by:''' Paul Darnell (on-set actor) |
| 990 | ->'''Appearances:''' ''[[WesternAnimation/StarWarsTalesOfTheEmpire Tales of the Empire]]'' | ''Series/{{Ahsoka}}'' |
| 991 | |
| 992 | An Inquisitor who survived the fall of the Galactic Empire and has allied with an Imperial Remnant intent on reinstating Grand Admiral Thrawn. |
| 993 | ---- |
| 994 | * AmbiguousGender: As of this writing, it's currently unclear what Marrok's gender is. Although he is played by a male actor and uses male pronouns, it could be possible that he is female behind the armor and uses a voice modifier to protect his real identity. |
| 995 | * AmbiguousSituation: [[spoiler:As he dies, a torrent of green Nightsister magick pours out of his lightsaber wound and his limbs shrivel up before he finally collapses. Whether this means Morgan simply empowered him for his service to her, a la [[Characters/StarWarsDathomir Savage Oppress]], or if he was completely brought BackFromTheDead is unknown.]] |
| 996 | * AmbiguouslyHuman: While his figure leans heavily on the humanoid side, his species is unconfirmed and his armor obscures all of his features, leaving potential for him to be any number of RubberForeheadAliens. |
| 997 | * ArmorIsUseless: Despite his former occupation revolving around hunting down the lightsaber-wielding Jedi, his plated armor is not forged of a lightsaber resistant material. [[spoiler:When Ahsoka lands a strike on his chest, it cuts clean through the armor and deep enough into him to mortally wound.]] |
| 998 | * BadassCape: A long and flowing [[BlackCloak black]] fencer's cape is draped over his right side until he [[TheCoatsAreOff dramatically discards]] it before engaging Ahsoka on Corellia. He fails to recover it in his ensuing escape and acts without it afterward. |
| 999 | * BlackKnight: He wears an intimidating set of black armor, and serves Elsbeth and the Fallen Jedi mercenaries without question or complaint. He also proves to be one of the most skilled of the Inquisitors, managing to be the first to walk away from an even duel with Ahsoka without suffering a CurbStompBattle. |
| 1000 | * BoringButPractical: Just like the Grand Inquisitor, he has enough skill in actual dueling to forgo reliance on his lightsaber's various tricks. [[spoiler:Tellingly, when he finally falls back on using its spinning in battle, he is struck down in a SingleStrokeBattle.]] |
| 1001 | * CombatPragmatist: He uses an HK-87 assassin droid as a partner in his first duel with Ahsoka, though he's still good enough without the droid to hold his own. He also tries to cheap shot Ahsoka InTheBack with his [[BoomerangComeback returning weapon]] after [[KnowWhenToFoldEm he books it from the fight to escape with Shin]]. |
| 1002 | * CoolHelmet: His helmet is intricate and ridged in design, with a passing similarity to his fellow Inquisitor, the Eighth Brother's, own helmet. It also closely resembles a futuristic version of a [[https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/16_century_medieval_maximilien_helmet.jpg "Maximillian"-style German helmet]]. |
| 1003 | * CoolStarship: He uses a custom ''[=RP82=] Fiend'' starfighter in space battle, a model designed for speed, optimal movement, and high firepower. To contrast the predominantly [[RedIsViolent red]] color scheme of Shin's own ''Fiend'', his is instead a [[BrightIsNotGood bright gold and yellow]]. |
| 1004 | * CruelAndUnusualDeath: [[spoiler:As he dies from a lightsaber slash across the chest, (already not the cleanest way to go out) he spontaneously bursts out green magick from the wound. Judging by the uncharacteristic [[DeathCryEcho agonized screech]] and how he begins to involuntarily spasm from this, his final moments are less than pleasant.]] |
| 1005 | * DeathOrGloryAttack: At the end of his second duel with Ahsoka, after being unable to gain the upper hand in their battle, he revs up his Lightsaber's [[SpectacularSpinning spinning blade feature]] for the first time in actual combat and moves to strike her down in a SingleStrokeBattle. [[spoiler:Ahsoka handily dodges and strikes him down with the opening he provided in the attempt.]] |
| 1006 | * EvilSoundsDeep: Just like some of the other Inquisitors, he has a deep voice when wearing his helmet. |
| 1007 | * FlatCharacter: [[spoiler:While he has suggested depth with his being the [[LastOfTheirKind last Inquisitor]] and potential Nightsister connections, he shows no independent characteristics prior to his death.]] |
| 1008 | * {{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 apparent issue from either man. |
| 1009 | * KnowWhenToFoldEm: Once he gets an indicator Shin Hati is on the way to pick him up on Corellia, he doesn't try to prolong his duel with Ahsoka. He instead keeps her occupied with a final attack to put distance between them and flees the docks to make his escape on Hati's shuttle. |
| 1010 | * MysteriousPast: Even more so then the other Inquisitors, as his time with the Jedi Order, his induction into and work for the Inquisitorius, and the circumstances around his survival into the era of the New Republic are all unrevealed. |
| 1011 | * NotSoStoic: His outward displays of emotion are few and far between, both from his subdued demeanor and expression concealing helmet. That said, even he is visibly intrigued by the sudden appearance of a pod of Purgill, and takes a moment in the middle of a high speed dogfight to gawk at one. |
| 1012 | * OneSteveLimit: Averted. He shares his name with [[Characters/StarWarsBountyHuntersAndMercenariesRepublicEra Embo]]'s pet Anooba. |
| 1013 | * PsychoForHire: Whatever his motivations may be, he defected from the Empire and his work with the Inquisitors and made use of his skillset and Dark Side abilities to take up work as a mercenary. |
| 1014 | * TheQuietOne: Most of his scenes show him silently observing the conversations of his allies and following their orders without speaking up himself, despite his capacity to do so. When he does speak, he keeps what he says [[TerseTalker reserved to the bare minimum]] necessary to get his point across. |
| 1015 | * RedAndBlackAndEvilAllOver: An amoral mercenary who antagonizes Ahsoka and company and once hunted [[GenocideSurvivor Genocide Survivors]], still clad in an all-black set of armor. The only additions to his color palette (other then brown marks of rust) come from the small red buttons across his helmet, breastplate, and gauntlets, along with his red lightsaber. |
| 1016 | * ReligiousAndMythologicalThemeNaming: His name "Marrok" is taken from a knight of [[Myth/ArthurianLegend Court of King Arthur]], who was notably turned into a WolfMan. This fits the theme of Creator/DaveFiloni's personal love of wolfs and his habit of fitting them into his works, as well as establishing a general knight motif along with his medieval inspired armor. |
| 1017 | * 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.]]]] |
| 1018 | * ScarredEquipment: The pieces of his set of armor have visible rusting and wear to them. This is justified as it has been in use by a former Imperial agent and mercenary for the better part of two decades throughout a violent galactic war. |
| 1019 | * SilentAntagonist: He's completely quiet throughout the early episodes of ''Ahsoka'', not even grunting when in fights. Downplayed by "[[Recap/AhsokaS1E3Chapter3TimeToFly Time to Fly]]", where he's now [[SuddenlyVoiced speaking regularly]], though he still keeps mostly quiet. |
| 1020 | * SoleSurvivor: He's the only Inquisitor still known to be alive even after the deaths of Palpatine and Vader. |
| 1021 | * SpikesOfVillainy: His armor features two small curved spikes on either shoulder pauldron. His lightsaber also includes four dull spikes on its circular hilt, a design that only a few of his former colleagues in the Inquisitorius share. |
| 1022 | * StillWearingTheOldColors: He still wears his Inquisitorius armor and wields one of their trademark spinning lightsabers despite the organization, and the Empire they fought for, both being long defunct. This seems to be simple pragmatism, as quality armor and a weapon as unique and dangerous as a lightsaber are useful for his mercenary lifestyle, and he no longer follows out his "Kill all Force users" task. |
| 1023 | * TerseTalker: On the occasions he does actually speak, what he says tends to be short and to the point. |
| 1024 | * TokenCompetentMinion: Downplayed. Although he puts up a good fight against Ahsoka at first, [[spoiler: when she gets serious, she ends up killing him with relative ease]]. That being said, the fact he was able to fight Ahsoka as well as he did at first puts him a level above every other Inquisitor she's fought. Ahsoka easily defeated the Fifth Brother and Seventh Sister as a team, and killed the first Inquisitor she encountered by using his own weapon against him. Even Shin, who has formal training under a fallen Jedi, [[spoiler:isn't skilled enough to force Ahsoka to draw her sabers]]. |
| 1025 | * WeHardlyKnewYe: [[spoiler:He gets killed halfway through ''Ahsoka'', so not much more of him is revealed.]] |

| 1036 | ->''"It looks like I shall be rewarded... Ahsoka Tano!"'' |
| 1037 | |
| 1038 | A male Inquisitor of unknown species whom Ahsoka encounters in the early years of the Galactic Empire. |
| 1039 | ---- |
| 1040 | * AmbiguousSituation: His role of an Inquisitor that Ahsoka fights in the early years of the Empire's reign, sparking her reunion with Bail Organa, brings to mind the Sixth Brother from her eponymous novel. It was believed that he was a heavily-redesigned version of the character in the lead-up to the series' release, and while the show doesn't cover the rest of the novel's plot, the ''Ahsoka'' book ''has'' been retconned before, lending credence to the idea that this is still true. However, given that he's merely credited as an unnumbered Inquisitor, it's entirely possible he's a separate character, and that two just so happened to be felled in near-identical situations ([[https://twitter.com/ek_johnston/status/1568673474046226432?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw this is an interpretation the novel's writer supports]]). |
| 1041 | * AnimalMotif: His mask has a distinctive beak-like protrusion where his mouth should be, suggestive of a crow or a raven. Fitting, as Inquisitors are often described as hunters, or birds-of-prey. |
| 1042 | * BadassCape: He wears a cloak with the Empire's logo emblazoned in it. |
| 1043 | * BloodKnight: Rather than wait for Ahsoka to return, he gives away his presence by immediately burning down a village and slaughters its inhabitants because he did not find the Jedi he was looking for...despite specifically being told by the informer that the Jedi in question would be returning shortly. |
| 1044 | * CoolMask: He wears a mask that looks like a mix of a giant bird's skull and a bubonic plague doctor's mask. |
| 1045 | * CurbStompBattle: His fight with Ahsoka is laughably short as the former Jedi easily dodges his swings, disarms him of his lightsaber, then beheads him with his own weapon. |
| 1046 | * DisproportionateRetribution: Burns down a village and murders dozens of innocent people, simply because he thinks the tipster wasted his time with a fake Jedi sighting. |
| 1047 | * EvilSoundsDeep: Clancy Brown's already naturally deep voice is further enhanced by his mask's reverb effect, giving the character a [[WesternAnimation/TheBatman Mr. Freeze]]-esque tone. |
| 1048 | * FakeUltimateMook: Despite looking intimidating, Ahsoka kills him in seconds as if he were a simple stormtrooper. |
| 1049 | * FinalBoss: He's the final antagonist of Ahsoka's story arc in ''Tales of the Jedi''. |
| 1050 | * ForegoneConclusion: His attempt to kill Ahsoka was obviously not going to succeed as shown by Ahsoka's later appearances and his lack thereof. |
| 1051 | * HoistByHisOwnPetard: Ahsoka murders him with his own lightsaber after disarming him of it. |
| 1052 | * KickTheDog: He massacres the entire farming village just because he thought the tipster was lying about Ahsoka hiding there, and attempts to murder said tipster as a "reward" for his loyalty once it's confirmed he told the truth. |
| 1053 | * NormalFishInATinyPond: He is not as powerful as most dark side force-users, yet he is still powerful enough to cause destruction to a small village and kill most of its population. |
| 1054 | * OffWithHisHead: How Ahsoka takes him out, and with his own lightsaber no less. |
| 1055 | * PaperTiger: Despite having one of the most intimidating Inquisitor designs and looking like he'll be a dangerous threat, Ahsoka disarms him and relieves him of his head in less than ten seconds. |
| 1056 | * RedEyesTakeWarning: He has a pair of glowing red eyes, though it's unclear if they are part of his mask, or his natural eyes peeking out. |
| 1057 | * SmugSnake: He's awfully confident that he'll easily kill an unarmed Ahsoka and be rewarded for hunting such a high-value target. [[CurbStompBattle Ahsoka quickly proves him wrong.]] |
| 1058 | * SwordDrag: He likes to drag his lightsaber along the ground, with all the conflagration that entails. The surviving villagers are terrified by it, but Ahsoka just sees a cheap scare tactic. |
| 1059 | * UnderestimatingBadassery: Even though he knows who Ahsoka is, and who her teacher was, he assumes that she'll be an easy kill simply because she doesn't have a lightsaber. He pays for that mistake with his life. |
| 1060 | * WeHardlyKnewYe: His few minutes of screentime is all we get of him before he's abruptly killed. |

| 1074 | An elite group of Stormtroopers assigned to help the Imperial Inquisitorius hunt down any remaining Jedi. Like many Stormtrooper legions, they were originally comprised of veteran Clone Troopers, but were eventually replaced with human conscripts. Despite this, their forces still wore Phase II Clone paratrooper armor long after the introduction of Imperial Stormtrooper armor; though the armor of the Purge Troopers is colored [[RedAndBlackAndEvilAllOver black and red]] to fit their affiliation with the Sith and the Inquisitorius. |
| 1075 | ---- |
| 1076 | * AdaptationalWimp: When they finally see combat in Chapter Five of ''Series/ObiWanKenobi'', they go down almost absurdly fast compared to their mini-boss status in ''VideoGame/StarWarsJediFallenOrder''. Granted that they’re fighting a former Jedi Master and member of the Jedi Council instead of a former Padawan, but still it’s rather jarring to see a [[PowerIncontinence broken man who cut himself off from the Force]] cut one down when even in the endgame Cal Kestis had a hard time with them. |
| 1077 | * BaldOfEvil: The few who are seen unmasked tend to have shaved heads. |
| 1078 | * BloodKnight: The Purge Troopers encountered in ''Jedi: Fallen Order'' come across as brainwashed psychopaths, frequently demanding that Cal fight harder and chastising his weakness should they land a hit. |
| 1079 | * CombatSadomasochist: Some Purge Troopers in ''Jedi: Fallen Order'' transcend their Blood Knight status to this. They ''giggle'' when you parry their attacks, yell things like "More, give me more!" and "Woo! Hit me, baby!" when you damage them, and ''laugh'' slightly when they are killed. |
| 1080 | * DidntThinkThisThrough: Much like their clone predecessors, all of the original Purge Troopers have inhibitor chips in their brains. Since all the Inquisitors are former Jedi, this backfires on them when Ferren Barr activates Order 66 mid-battle via a Jedi Mind Trick, causing the troopers to turn on their masters. Subsequent Purge Troopers would be drawn from normal human recruits to prevent a similar incident from occurring in the future. |
| 1081 | * EliteMooks: Distinguished by their jet black armor, the Purge Troopers are a cut above the average Stormtrooper, being capable of engaging Jedi in melee and/or ranged combat with a variety of weapons. In ''Fallen Order'', they're among Cal's tougher opponents. |
| 1082 | * EvilWearsBlack: Unlike the white armor worn by their fellow clones, the armor of the Purge Troopers are black with red details. |
| 1083 | * FacialMarkings: All of them have a red tattoo on the right side of their faces. |
| 1084 | * LastOfHisKind: They were originally comprised of the last batch of Jango Fett clones to be produced. Ferren Barr used this against them by activating Order 66 on them, causing them to betray the ex-Jedi of the Inquisition. As such, they were phased out in favor of human conscripts like the rest of clones. Despite this, they continue wearing clone armor, at least until the introduction of Phase II Purge Trooper armor. |
| 1085 | * MookLieutenant: Purge Trooper Commanders are Purge Troopers that command squads of them, in addition to Purge Troopers commanding other Stormtroopers themselves. |
| 1086 | * OneSteveLimit: In canon, the title "Purge Troopers" also refers to [[VideoGame/StarWarsUprising a group of elite Stormtroopers]] who worked in the Anoat sector following the Emperor's death. |
| 1087 | * PraetorianGuard: For the Inquisitorious. They're usually seen accompanying an Inquisitor on their hunts. On the rare occasion, they even fill the role for Darth Vader. |
| 1088 | * SchrodingersCanon: The ''[[Franchise/StarWarsLegends Legends]]'' continuity also featured Purge Troopers, although those were hulking battle droids with only a faint visual resemblance. |
| 1089 | * StillWearingTheOldColors: An interesting example in ''Fallen Order'', where their helmets and armor are identical to that used by airborne Clone Troopers, despite the Purge Troopers no longer being clones themselves. By ''Obi-Wan Kenobi'', they have their own helmet design, but still retain modified Clone Trooper armor. |
| 1090 | * SuspiciouslySimilarSubstitute: They share more than a few similarities with the Empire's Death Troopers, being black-armored elite Stormtroopers who serve as a special forces unit. |
| 1091 | * TrojanPrisoner: One of the Purge Troopers under Thirteenth Sister/Iskat Akaris's command, Sixty-Seven, is disguised as a Jedi in order to gain access to Jakadis's lair so she can kill whatever Jedi were held there. |

| 1102 | * ShockAndAwe: They have electro shock pods to hurt their victims and incapacitate droids. |
