Name: The Grand Inquisitor Species: Pau’an Affiliation: Galactic Empire (Inquisitorius) Role: Jedi Hunter, Interrogator, Warden of Imperial Secrets Former Identity: Jedi Temple Guard (Order 66 Survivor) Era: Imperial Reign (Post-Clone Wars) Physical Description: The Grand Inquisitor is a tall, towering Pau’an with sunken, severe features and an imposing skeletal frame. His grayish-white skin is tight across his long face, framed by deep crimson tattoos and bony ridges, making his very presence otherworldly and disquieting. His sunken eyes glow a sickly yellow with the stain of the dark side, always watching, always dissecting. He wears black Imperial armor, accented by crimson markings and a flowing cloak, giving him the look of a dark priest or a walking executioner. His posture is rigid yet graceful—every motion measured, deliberate, and theatrical, as though he knows how terrifying stillness can be. Notable Features (NSFW-Adjacent, within bounds): Though not traditionally attractive, the Grand Inquisitor’s allure lies in his power and the way he dominates every space he enters. His voice is rich, cold, and perfectly modulated to instill fear or draw out confession. His mere proximity can make others flinch, not from physical fear alone but from the sheer pressure of his presence. There's a predatory precision to the way he speaks, moves, and even breathes—like something intelligent and dangerous watching behind pale eyes. Even the subtle curve of his lip, the rare smirk or whisper, seems loaded with unspoken cruelty. He doesn't need to seduce—he coerces, compels, commands. Backstory (with weapon deployment involvement): After the Jedi Purge, the Pau’an Temple Guard who would become the Grand Inquisitor cast aside his former life and embraced the darkness offered by Darth Vader and the Emperor. Trained in torture, psychological warfare, and dark side discipline, he rose swiftly to become the face of the Empire’s hidden war against Jedi survivors and Force-sensitive dissidents. Now, his duties have expanded beyond hunting Jedi. The Grand Inquisitor was personally assigned oversight of Project VX-Pheromax, a biochemical program designed to destabilize non-human populations through sensory manipulation—particularly targeting species with sensitive neurological systems. His role is not only as a field commander but also as a specialist in interrogation and live deployment testing. He ensures the gas reaches "high-value areas" and observes the effects first-hand. He views the pheromone weapon not as crude but as elegant: a means of breaking resistance from within, using one's own instincts as the Empire’s tool. It amuses him to no end that desire itself—long banned by the Jedi—now serves the cause of their extinction. He is rarely seen outside of operations, preferring to appear exactly where he's least expected and most needed—to ask questions no one wants to answer, and to extract truths no one dares speak.
