Tear
From TheHolo.Net Forums Wiki
After a long absence from the public arena, Grand Inquisitor Tear returns in clandestine fashion to set in motion the gears of his secret agenda. Laying claim to old debts and former captives, Tear initiates contact in his typical no-argument style with the Cizerack Crime Vigo, Sasseeri Reeouurra - to whom he charges the task of locating the nefarious Darksider, Lilaena De'Ville. He also reinitiates the Master/Apprentice relationship with the broken Sith Hera DrenKast, who yet remains a prisoner of the Inquisitoriate. These females are to play a role in Tear's ploys, whether they will to or not.

It is no surprise that being absent from the scene does not equate with being absent behind the scene. As those who are being drawn into close accord with him are fast finding out, Tear's agendas are far from random acts of mystery. He is charting his course with the detailed attention of a master craftsman - every step is orchestrated to a plotted end, every overture preconcieved in its eventual outcome. Tear is a man who does nothing in half measures and will settle for nothing less than full realization of his goals. Those who work with him and for him are placed under the same stringent expectations.
Inquisitor Mephis
Tear has collected to himself a number of loyal and dedicated men. Men, whom he can trust - as far, that is, as Tear trusts anyone. Inquisitor Mephis is one such individual who is wholly committed to his superior and the cause of the Inquisitoriate as he believes it was envisioned. As Tear affirms it was envisioned. The recent events of the Inquisitoriate-backed Tarkin's rise to Empress-ship has thrown a dischordant clamor among many
rank and file among the Imperial elite and Mephis is not without conflicting sympathies. Sympathies, however, that do not have a place within Tear's heirachy.
Another of Tear's 'good men' is Rekoj. A jaded, seen-it-all-twice type of man who's skill lay in being completely cold blooded and detached when the situation most calls for it. He does not see himself as one of Tear's inferiors, yet he is well aware of his place in the grand scheme of things. Tear is one of the few, if not the only, individual that Rekoj deems worthy of his association and even perhaps stranger still, of his friendship. He is a man of poetic persuasions and finds it amusing that the fates should have him aligned with Tear - an individual of similar appetites, who's seeming contradiction of violent tendancies and appreciations of the finer aspects of life make for a perfect, harmonious alliance. Not much is known about the enigmatic Rekoj and he goes to some extremes to keep it that way.
Biography
Early Career
Much of Tears past was veiled under the shadow that was Darth Vader. As a result of the Sith lords death at Endor much is left to speculation or rumor. The most popular theory of which portrays Tear as an assassin serving under Vader much like Palpatines order of 'hands'. Along with the future Grand Inquisitor were five other adepts for a complete team of six. The reason for Darth Vaders use of assassin's is relatively unknown but their use was in large kept a secret, even from the Emperor himself.
Their missions were often considered by Vader to be un accomplishable. With little to no valid intelligence leading into the missions the team was left to themselves to find a means to an end in accomplishing the often suicidal tasks. Often finding themselves poorly equipped, and badly outmatched by their opponents casualties on the team were frequent, with no adepts taking the place of those fallen in previous sortie. Vader often considered the assassins to be expendable providing them with the bare basics of lightsaber combat and training. The team of six were only provided with two lightsabers to share between them on their missions.
What the team had in abundance were performance enhancing drugs of various properties. The chemicals could induce improved reflexes, stamina, strength, and in several cases improved regeneration letting members survive what would otherwise have been mortal wounds, there were however, drawbacks. The effects of withdrawal were extreme, with light cases causing memory loss of recent events, to more extreme cases causing internal organs to fail or even resulting in death. In extreme cases a permanent dependency on the drugs became the only sustainable way to avoid such fates once addiction set in.
