**Darth Surect** was a human male Inquisitor during the reign of the Galactic Empire and later a Sith Lord and the apprentice of Dreackil during the New Republic era. Surect was taken by Dreackil as his personal apprentice after the fall of the Empire and played the role of the public Sith Lord. Surect was responsible for infiltrating the New Jedi Order as a disguised Jedi to learn enough about them and then few years later, launched a devastating attack with his inner Academy knowledge. After betraying his master to replace him as the Dark Lord, he took command of his Zith Lords and trained Brruz Vann as an apprentice. His rule came to an end when Vann betrayed him in true Sith fashion during his duel with Cora Kenta and opened fire on the bridge of the Eliminator, killing him in the explosion.

Surect was one of the Emperor's Inquisitors during the Galactic Empire's reign, hunting any remaining Jedi as a dark side adept. Though not really a true Sith, Surect felt that he was talented enough to be comparable to even Darth Vader. As the Empire fell, like all other surviving dark side adepts, Surect went into hiding but his hiding did not last long as he discovered a mysterious dark side master in Lord Dreackil. Though he did not call himself Darth, Dreackil claimed that he was restoring the Sith after Darth Sidious and proposed Surect to take him on as his first true Sith apprentice. Surect accepted the offer excitedly and the two did not take long to start planning out the fall of Skywalker's New Jedi Order.

Surect and Dreackil knew two things: they had to do it discreetly and they had to act quick. Surect adopted a Jedi identity and mastered Force disguising techniques to hide his true intent from Jedi. He found the Jedi Master Zarch and was recruited into the Jedi Academy as a promising Jedi Padawan and was taken under Zarch's apprenticeship. Most did not realize Surect's true purpose and in short time, he had enough information and even managed to gain quite influence among fellow Jedi, yet some such as Pite Tverlo felt suspicious and Luke even had sensed and figured out Surect's dark side origins, he attempted to redeem him. Before Luke got anywhere, Surect was already missing from the Academy and had taken some Jedi with him, including Desann. 3 Jedi Knight's were converted into Dreackil's blind followers during a ritual, they called themselves the Zith Lords.

Only a year later, rumors start spreading in the Outer Rim of the Imperial Remnant still carrying operations, except this time, led by a true Sith rather than the former Imperial admirals or Dark Jedi. Surect by this time had betrayed his master when he attempted to kill him to fulfill the Rule of Two, however Dreackil merely escaped with his followers to an unknown location, though Surect still believed that he managed to kill Dreackil. This gave Surect free leadership over the Empire and Dreackil's former dark side adepts. As the leader, Surect would go on to commence multiple operations to strenghten his empire, including the invasion of Yalara, where large noghri armies were wiped out and Brruz Vann was found and taken as Surect's apprentice.

When Surect had strenghtened his army enough and gained support, he launched a massive invasion on Yavin 4, attacking Luke's Jedi Temple and crippling the Jedi forces. Although many Jedi could escape and would later go on to rebuild the order, this event left major impacts. Luke Skywalker would go to exile on his own wish as he felt he had failed in redeeming Surect, unlike he could with Vader and the New Republic would lose trust in the Jedi's capabilities.
