**Warning: This infobox has missing parameters: name and unrecognized parameters: title**

**Grand Acolyte**, also known as **High Acolyte**, was a title used by the highest-ranking Sith Acolyte of the United Front and leader of the Acolyte Order. Grand Leader Darth Midous bestowed his Sith apprentice, Darth Arcane, with the title and he was also given authority over the United Front Military, acting as Supreme Commander. As Grand Acolyte, Arcane led Lord Midous' other apprentices and enforced his will during his reign of the Union.

## **Role and powers**

An elevated position within the United Front, the Grand Acolyte was the leader of the Acolyte Order as an agent at the beck and call of the Sith. Like the other Sith Acolytes, the Grand Acolyte was amongst the top agents of Grand Leader Darth Midous, and had the power to commandeer and dispose of Union assets as they saw fit. The Grand Acolyte was also accompanied by Sith troopers and standard dark troopers on his covert missions, which were only approved by Lord Midous himself.

The Grand Acolyte was recognized to be highly-skilled in the dark side of the Force, far above the other Sith Acolytes under his leadership. As a former Jedi Temple Guard, Darth Arcane specialized in understanding his Jedi opponents and out-performed any adversary he faced. This gave him an advantage in lightsaber combat, as he was familiar with Jedi fighting styles. As the Grand Leader's first apprentice, the Grand Acolyte was also granted authority over the United Front Military, acting as the informal Supreme Commander of United Front High Command. The Grand Acolyte also served beside his master in the United Front Council, obtaining access to the political strategies of the United Front.

## **History**

### **Rise of Darth Arcane**

At the end of the Clone Wars, the Sith Lord Darth Midous traveled to Coruscant to confront Galactic Emperor Darth Sidious for betraying his master, Count Dooku. While searching for Sidious, Midous met the Arkanian Jedi Temple Guard Yondo Patton who betrayed his fellow Jedi to survive the wrath of Sidious' new apprentice, Darth Vader. Deciding that Patton could be used to achieve his goals, Midous abandoned his search for Sidious and made Patton his Sith apprentice, prolonging his quest to avenge his master's death. With the christening of Darth Arcane, the two departed to the Outer Rim Territories and prepared to exact their revenge on Sidious and the Galactic Empire.

## **Behind the scenes**

The title of Grand Acolyte was created for Darth Arcane in the upcoming film *Star Wars: Rise of the Rebellion*. After the creation of the Acolyte Order, the title was created soon after and Arcane's character development was updated to fit his rank.
