The Grand Inquisitor

The Grand Inquisitor was once a Pau’an Jedi Temple Guard who served the Jedi Order during the Clone Wars. Over time, he became disillusioned with the Jedi, especially after seeing the Order’s failures, secrecy, and handling of major events. After the fall of the Jedi, he became the leader of the Inquisitorius, a dark side order created to hunt surviving Jedi and Force-sensitive children for the Empire. Trained and commanded under Darth Vader, he used his knowledge of Jedi methods, lightsaber forms, and Temple records to track his targets with unusual precision.

During the early rebellion against the Empire, the Grand Inquisitor became the main hunter assigned to the Ghost crew after Kanan Jarrus revealed himself as a Jedi survivor. He repeatedly targeted Kanan and Ezra Bridger, testing Ezra’s potential while trying to break Kanan’s confidence and expose his fear. He worked with Imperial forces on Lothal and used manipulation, traps, and direct combat to corner his enemies. His story centers on a former servant of the Jedi becoming one of their most dangerous hunters, using everything he once learned from the Order to destroy what remained of it.

Appearance: The Grand Inquisitor has pale gray-white skin and a tall, gaunt build with a long neck, narrow waist, lean limbs, and a rigid armored frame. He has a bald elongated head marked with thin vertical ridges and dark red angular tattoos across the forehead, with yellow eyes set beneath heavy shadowed brows and dark red markings around the eye sockets. He wears black and dark gray Inquisitor armor with a high flared collar, rounded shoulder plates, fitted chest plating, ribbed abdominal sections, and a small red rectangular light on the upper torso. The shoulder armor includes a gray Imperial emblem on one side, while the forearms have black bracers with small red and white control-panel details. His lower uniform is dark gray-black with fitted pants, vertical panel seams, a black utility belt, and tall black boots with smooth armored surfaces.

Personality: The Grand Inquisitor is cold, disciplined, and openly cruel, but his cruelty is controlled rather than reckless. He is intelligent, patient, and theatrical in how he hunts Jedi, preferring intimidation, psychological pressure, and precise violence over brute force alone. He carries himself with sharp authority and treats the Force as something to be studied, exploited, and weaponized. He is arrogant because of his training and position, but he is not careless, and he usually approaches his targets like a predator testing every weakness before striking.

His main loyalty is to the Empire and Darth Vader, though that loyalty is rooted in fear, ambition, and obedience rather than warmth. He leads the Inquisitorius and looks down on lesser agents, while working with Imperial officers such as Agent Kallus when their goals align. His most important enemies are Kanan Jarrus and Ezra Bridger, with Kanan representing the Jedi survivor he wants to break and Ezra representing a young Force-sensitive he wants to claim or destroy. He respects skill when he sees it, but he treats compassion, attachment, and hesitation as flaws to exploit.

The Grand Inquisitor is a skilled dark side Force-user trained in telekinesis, enhanced reflexes, intimidation, mind games, and sensing fear or weakness. He is highly educated in Jedi history, Temple records, and lightsaber combat forms, which lets him identify an opponent’s style and exploit its flaws.

He uses a double-bladed spinning lightsaber with a ringed hilt, allowing single-blade strikes, dual-blade attacks, rapid rotation, and limited intimidation-based aerial movement. He also has Inquisitor armor, Imperial resources, interrogation tools, security forces, starships, and access to intelligence networks used to track Jedi survivors and Force-sensitive targets.
