Eighth Brother

 Weight

The mysterious man known as an **Eighth Brother** was Force-Sensitive and a Terrelian Jango Jumper member of the group of Imperial dark warriors called Inquisitorius who participated in the hunt for a growing rebellion movement to overthrow the Empire. Nimble and menacing, Eighth Brother was the deadly Terrelian Jango Jumper Inquisitor. Dispatched by Darth Vader, he was sent to Malachor to attempt to find and capture Maul, and instead found himself face to face with Jedi Ezra Bridger, Kanan Jarrus, and Ahsoka Tano. The Eighth Brother had often used his double-bladed, spinning lightsaber to propel himself through the air, making for a sneak attack and quick escapes. This method proved unwise, however, when he jumped off the edge of the Malachor Sith Temple with his damaged Inquisitor double-bladed Lightsaber blade, and had fallen to his demise.

## Biography

### Inquisitor Training

This individual who would become known as **Eighth Brother** originally occupied an position within the Jedi Order. At some point after the old Galactic Republic was reorganized into the new Galactic Empire, he was inducted into a Imperial agency of Force-Sensitives assassins known as the Inquisitorius, that was tasked with hunting down and eliminating any and all the Jedi who survived Order 66. To accomplish this goal, he and a number of other Inquisitors were trained by an Imperial Grand Inquisitor in the Works, but soon fell under the command of a Sith-Lord Darth Vader when Darth Sidious first demonstrated the Inquisitorius to Vader, who'd continued their training in the ways of the Dark Side. At first, when Grand Inquisitor told the Eighth Brother and his colleagues they now had two masters, Eighth Brother proclaimed that they only served Sidious, but was countered by Grand Inquisitor by stating times changed.

### Hunt for Survivors

#### Tracking a Former Sith

Following the Imperial Grand Inquisitor's death at the hands of the two Jedi Kanan Jarrus and his Padawan learner, Ezra Bridger, this Brother and some 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 Fifth Brother and Seventh Sister were given a chance to do so when the Lord Darth Vader dispatched them on the Emperor's orders, the Eighth Brother was given the task of hunting down Darth Maul, the former Sith apprentice of Darth Sidious, whom he knew only as the "Shadow". After he'd eventually tracked the former Darth Maul to the Sith temple on Malachor, the Brother unexpectedly found the three Jedi Jarrus, Bridger, and Ahsoka Tano. After stalking them for a short amount of time, the Eighth Brother attacked the trio of the rebel Jedi but was forced to retreat. After the trio was split up, Tano and Jarrus tracked down and captured a Eighth Brother Inquisitor, who was unable to escape due to the rebel droid Chopper commandeering his TIE Advanced v1 ship.

However, 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 former Lord 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 a Dark Lord Vader, the Eighth Brother impulsively set out to hunt down the enemy and reclaim it. He attacked Jarrus and Ezra 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 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 old Sith Temple, only for the weapon to fail and cause him to fall to his death.
