Grand Inquisitor

Grand Inquisitor, also known as Master of the Inquisitorius, was a title used by the highest-ranking Inquisitor of the Galactic Empire and leader of the Inquisitorius. The Pau'an male and former Jedi Temple Guard known only as the Grand Inquisitor held the office and was ranked above other operatives, such as the Third Sister, who coveted his position.

The Third Sister was temporarily appointed the position during the attack on Jabiim following the supposed death of the previous Grand Inquisitor, but lost the position upon betraying Dark Lord of the Sith Darth Vader, who revealed that the Grand Inquisitor had in fact survived his injury. Whoever held the rank of Grand Inquisitor answered to Lord Vader, under whose governance they hunted down the Jedi that survived the Great Jedi Purge.
