Eighth Brother The Eighth Brother was a Force - sensitive Terrelian Jango Jumper male member of the Inquisitorius who participated in the hunt for the growing rebellion . Biography . Fallen Jedi . The individual who became known as the Eighth Brother originally occupied a position within the Jedi Order . At some point after the Galactic Republic was reorganized into the Galactic Empire , he was inducted into an Imperial agency of Force - sensitive assassins called the Inquisitorius , which was tasked with hunting down and eliminating any Jedi who survived Order 66 . To accomplish this , he and his colleagues were trained by The Grand Inquisitor in their training center in the Works , but soon fell under the command of Darth Vader when Darth Sidious first demonstrated the Inquisitorius to Vader , who continued their training in the ways of the dark side of the Force . The Grand Inquisitor informed Eighth Brother and his colleagues that they had two masters , Eighth Brother in response proclaimed that they only served Sidious , but was soon countered by the Grand Inquisitor who stated that times had changed . Age of the Empire . Hunting Maul . Following the Grand Inquisitor ' s death at the hands of the Jedi Kanan Jarrus and his padawan , Ezra Bridger , the Brother and the other Inquisitors saw " new opportunities " to take his place by hunting down the two Jedi and their crew on their VCX - 100 , called the " Ghost " . However , while the Fifth Brother and Seventh Sister were given the chance to do so when Darth Vader dispatched them on the Emperor ' s orders , the Eighth Brother was given the task of hunting down Maul , the former Sith apprentice , whom he knew only as " the Shadow . " Trouble on Malachor . After eventually tracking Maul to the Sith temple on Malachor , the Brother unexpectedly found Jarrus , Bridger , and Ahsoka Tano . After stalking them for a short time , the Eighth Brother attacked the three rebels but was forced to retreat . After the trio was split up , Tano and Jarrus tracked down and captured the Eighth Brother , who was unable to escape due to Chopper commandeering his TIE Advanced v1 . However , the Eighth Brother managed to send a covert signal , which was answered by the Fifth Brother and Seventh Sister , with all three attacking Tano and Jarrus . However , the tables were turned on them when Bridger arrived with Maul in tow , the pair of them joining Tano and Jarrus and driving the Inquisitors off . Fearing that Maul had claimed a Sith holocron sought by Darth Vader , the Eighth Brother impulsively set out to hunt down the enemy and reclaim it . He attacked Jarrus and Bridger , knocking out the Jedi Knight before turning his attention to the apprentice , only to be driven off by Tano and Maul . Teaming up with the Fifth Brother , he then went after Tano and Jarrus while the Seventh Sister went after Bridger and Maul , only for Maul to arrive and kill the Fifth Brother whilst Jarrus damaged the Eighth Brother ' s lightsaber . Over - matched and outnumbered , the Eighth Brother attempted to flee using his lightsaber ' s spinning blades to slow his descent as he leaped from the temple , only for the weapon to fail and cause him to fall to his death . Personality and traits . Like the other Inquisitors , the Eighth Brother was fiercely dedicated to the service of the Empire and Darth Vader . He was aggressive to the point that he often charged into action while his fellows hung back to allow him to weaken the enemy . He was also ruthless and cruel , demonstrating a willingness to drag out the terror of an enemy before killing them . However , his impulsive streak proved to be his undoing , as he chose to rely on his damaged lightsaber to escape when faced with battling three skilled enemies at once . Powers and abilities . Like all Inquisitors , the Eighth Brother was Force - sensitive and possessed skill in the art of wielding a double - bladed spinning lightsaber . He also possessed the same TIE Fighter design as his fellows . The Eighth Brother typically employed both of his lightsaber ' s blades in battle , and also employed them in order to propel away from enemies when outmatched . Additionally , his lightsaber had the unique ability to convert into a buzz - saw - like weapon that employed the handle while the blades were deactivated . In doing so , this allowed the emitters to be visibly seen . Other equipment the Brother used were a multitude of S - Mine Detonator s he kept on a bandoleer . Within easy reach , the Eighth Brother would throw these small explosives toward his enemies . He also wore a suit of black and gray combat armor which bore the insignia of the Galactic Empire . His fighting style was somewhat similar to the Seventh Sister ' s , given his slim and acrobatic build . However , he appeared to have been no more skilled than his fellow Inquisitors in battle , as illustrated by his losses on Malachor .
