Due to Garazeb Orrelios' quick-thinking, the rebels managed to escape the Inquisitors aboard the Phantom. At least two Inquisitors, the Fifth Brother and the Seventh Sister, were assigned to do so and confronted several crew members of the Ghost during a skirmish aboard an abandoned Republic Medical Station. Upon learning of this news, the Emperor ordered Vader to dispatch another Inquisitor to hunt the rebels down. Rather than face his Master's punishment for his failure, the Grand Inquisitor killed himself.ĭuring a skirmish with a the Rebel Fleet, Vader learned that Ahsoka was still alive. After several encounters, The Grand Inquisitor succeeded in capturing Kanan, but was defeated by the latter in a lightsaber duel during a rescue staged by the rebels and Kanan's Padawan, Ezra. When rumors emerged of a Jedi leading a rebel cell on the planet Lothal reached the ears of the Empire, Vader sent The Grand Inquisitor to take care of the problem. Shortly afterwards, The Grand Inquisitor arrived and, unaware of Ahsoka's identity, decided to hunt her himself, but not before informing Darth Vader. Laying a trap for Ahsoka, the Sixth Brother battled her on the moon of Raada, but due to his lack of finesse and Ahsoka's superior skill, he was defeated and killed, with Ahsoka taking his lightsaber crystals before fleeing the system. The supposed Jedi was in fact former Padawan Ahsoka, who had left the Jedi Order before the end of the Clone Wars after being wrongfully accused of treason.

However, he later abandoned this task after receiving word that a Force-sensitive being old enough to have received Jedi training was hiding in the Outer Rim and set out to hunt the individual in question. The Sixth Brother perished over a decade previously as a result of a confrontation with Ahsoka Tano.Ībout one year after the rise of the Empire, an Inquisitor known as the Sixth Brother was active and searching for Force-sensitive children. Both the Fifth Brother and Seventh Sister were killed by Maul on Malachor while the Eighth Brother fell to his death from atop of the Malachor Sith Temple. Vader also sent the Eighth Brother to hunt down the former Sith Lord, Maul. However, after his death, Darth Vader dispatched two new Inquisitors: the Fifth Brother and the Seventh Sister. These Inquisitors were once Jedi themselves: The Sixth Brother was Bil Valen and the The Grand Inquisitor was once a Jedi Temple gaurd. Originally, only one Inquisitor, the leader of the faction, was dispatched to hunt down the Jedi on Lothal. The Inquisitorius was a group of Force-sensitives, individually known as Inquisitors and sometimes called ' Red-blades' or dismissively ' Mystics' by Imperial officers, who were recruited by the Galactic Empire to hunt down the Jedi who survived Order 66 and any other Force-sensitive children. “ The Inquisitor is powerful.” ―Maul to Ezra Bridger
