Kos Narvoln

**Kos Narvoln** was a Kel Dor male who served as a Lord-Inquisitor of the Imperial Inquisition with jurisdiction in Oversector 11 directly after the establishment of the Galactic Empire in 0 DNO. He was granted his rank by Imperator Skywalker immediately after the dissolution of the Jedi Order and creation of the Office of the Imperial Inquisition. Being one of the handful of Jedi to adhere to Skywalker's orders for all surviving Jedi to return to Coruscant in the aftermath of Order 66.

Inducted into the Jedi Order as a youngling, Kos Narvoln spent the first two and a half decades of his life training in the ways of the Force, completing his trials and attaining the title of Jedi Knight, joining the ranks of the Jedi Shadows, just months before the outbreak of the Clone Wars. During the conflict, Narvoln was sent on missions with the goal of locating and seizing Force artifacts, many of which were aligned with the Dark Side of the Force. Although he had yet to succumb, the frequent exposure to these artifacts gradually eroded the new Knight's ability to effectively resist the forbidden knowledge and temptations of power always in arms reach.

Towards the end of the Clone Wars, Narvoln was sent towards the edges of Wild Space to purchase (or if necessary, steal) a Rakatan artifact acquired by a group of spacers. Upon arriving at Bakura he received first the call from Anakin Skywalker to return to the Jedi Temple on Coruscant, followed shortly after by Obi-Wan Kenobi's recalibrated beacon message. Opting to believe Kenobi, Narvoln began preparations to go into hiding until the third signal was broadcast which contained Skywalker revealing the reason for the original beacon was to bring the Jedi in for trial to determine who conspired in the attempted coup against the Republic, now the Galactic Empire.

Spending the next several hours meditating, Narvoln discovered his ability to use the Force had diminished, clouding his mind and preventing him from sensing any outcome. Unable to sense the Force properly in the aftermath of Order 66 he opted to trust in his affinity for law and order instead. Refusing to become a criminal of the new regime, he altered course for Coruscant where he arrived and was detained by 501st troopers, stripped of his equipment and put under heavy guard with the other handful of Jedi who surrendered themselves willingly.

Much to the surprise of Narvoln and the other Jedi, who had begun to fully believe the ordeal to be a trap to eliminate them, newly ordained Imperator Skywalker informed the assembled Jedi that the Jedi Order had been dissolved and the Galactic Republic succeeded by the Galactic Empire. Additionally Skywalker presented the detainees with a choice to join his Imperial Inquisition and, given that they faithfully answered his call, offered them each a high ranking position within the new organization. Always tempted by the allure of power but never wiling to indulge out of fear of breaking the codes of the Jedi Order, Narvoln finally relented and was the first to kneel before the new Imperator of the Galactic Empire, eager to begin a new quest for knowledge once forbidden to him.

After several weeks of retraining under the new Inquisitorial Training Program, memorizing his new duties and regulations, Kos Narvoln was officially inducted into the Office of the Imperial Inquisition as a Lord-Inquisitor. Narvoln continued to learn as much as he can about the Force, both Light and Dark, to enforce the law and bring justice to the enemies of the Galactic Empire.[1]
