I looked down on Kaius from my throne and hum thoughtfully to myself. The story and name of Tepes was one shrouded in much mystery, though few had been foolish enough to ever claim to be the person. "No, I'm in a good mood with how well the Imperium is doing, Kaius. Bring them in, but if they make any foolish moves, remove their heads."

“As you command.” I rise and signal the guards to bring in the prisoner. They march in, encircling the robes figure until they stand before the throne. I walk over to the prisoner and roughly pull the cowled down, revealing a distinctly female face, as well as a set of lekku headtails.



I look up at the Empress. I had never met her before, but from what my father had always said, Imperious was a force to be reckoned with. “Empress Imperious.” I bow my head slightly. “I carry the title of Tepes not as a mockery, but as a homage to my family’s legacy. The true Darth Tepes was my grandfather. In truth, my name is Cosen Greshh... and I have come to pledge myself to your Sith Imperium.”
