Detailed appearance. Imagery insufficient.
Subject refused to cooperate with efforts to create a visual analysis, details gathered via observation at a distance.
Subject appears younger than expected for his age. His many geometric tattoos on his face, neck, and hands in the Mirialan tradition indicate extensive skills and accomplishments. Green skin. Dark hair peppered with silver strands, uncertain if these are caused by age or have been present since early years. Yellow eyes. Roughly 2 meters tall. Physical condition uncertain, but covert observation of combat practice indicates high levels of stamina and strength. No defects or deformities discovered.
Report on natural ability with the Force, as well as all known Force Techniques and the skill level.
Subject spoke at length on his "unparalleled prowess" with certain aspects of the Force, but was deemed an unreliable source. Further inquiries were made with Imperial personnel (particularly army officers, Overseers who trained him in the Academy, and other Sith who worked alongside him under Darth Korrus) to piece together an objective assessment.

Report on skills not directly rooted in the Force, including level of skill
List compiled primarily by examination of Imperial records. Subject declared the questions about his non-Force skills to be "not worth [his] time."
Subject displays mastery in the mechanical workings of lightsabers and droids, up to and including experimenting with the creation of new versions of both. Subject also possesses advanced skills in dealing with the mechanical workings of blasters, computers, small vehicles, small starships, and consumer grade technology of all kinds. Some skill regarding mechanics of larger vehicles and starships has been displayed, but true proficiency unlikely. These skills are likely influenced heavily by his innate talents for Mechu-deru.
Subject is noted in other records as being capable of piloting any vehicle he gets his hands on. Piloting skills for various terrestrial vehicles and small starships confirmed, skills with larger starships uncertain but probable.
Subject has displayed advanced skill in the arts of manipulation, particularly when engaging in lying, deception, and intimidation.
Subject possesses advanced skills in first aid techniques and knowledge of humanoid biology. When questioned directly, he noted it as part of his training for the use of Force Healing.
Subject displays proficiency in slicing. Exact extent of skills uncertain, but rarity of use of slicing in lieu of more destructive methods suggests limited abilities.
Subject displays satisfactory proficiency in areas of mandatory training in the Sith Academy: tactics, strategy, statecraft, wilderness survival, enemy territory survival, Sith history, and Sith philosophy.
Subject is fluent in Basic, Mirialan, and Huttese.
Report on known combat experience, training and lightsaber training.
Subject provided a wealth of information on his combat experience and training. Corroboration with records and personnel confirmed most of it.
Subject's training under Darth Korrus was focused primarily on combat. When sent abroad as an Apprentice and Lord, the subject was almost exclusively sent out to fight, including to many of the pitched battles with the Republic in recent years. Training between missions was comprised largely of frequent duels between the Apprentices and Lords who followed Darth Korrus. Subject has proven highly skilled in both solo combat operations and when leading small groups. His skills are less developed in commanding groups numbering in the thousands, but still adequate for wartime implementation. He has displayed intermediate skill in small starship combat, though this is rarely implemented unless absolutely necessary due to his effectiveness on the ground.
Subject's lightsaber training is extensive. He is considered a talented master of the Makashi form, and his talent and training with Djem So are at or near the level of mastery. He has had advanced training in the Ataru and Juyo forms. His training with the Shii-Cho, Soresu, Shien, and Niman forms are at or near the intermediate level. This comprehensive lightsaber training has been augmented with intermediate training in unarmed combat and advanced training in the use of certain Force techniques alongside a lightsaber.
Comments from other Sith indicate that the subject is widely considered a master of lightsaber combat in general. While not a master of all forms, his familiarity with all of them and his unpredictability make him a fearsome opponent. He is known for using purely verbal forms of Dun Möch to destabilize his opponents, fluidly moving between one-handed and two-handed grips, going back and forth between the use of one or two lightsabers at any given time in a fight, and for employing Jar'Kai mixed with Tràkata techniques to quickly dispatch lesser foes who are unprepared to counter such deceptive methods.
Detailed notes on political influence and associates.
Despite continued lack of cooperation in the creation of this report, the broad picture of the subject's influence is easily traced via records of travel and payments made. The primary sources of influence come from strong ties with the Imperial Military and partial or complete ownership of a variety of corporations dealing in various forms of tech and mining operations. His known military associates include most generals of the army, a few admirals of the navy, and a wide assortment of lesser officers. While the army influence has enabled the subject to call on entire regiments at need, his lacking naval influence means it is rare for him to acquire anything more than shuttles or small crafts for personal use without dire need.
The most notable of his corporate interests is a heavy stake in Czerka Corporation, but he is also tied to the majority of all droid and weapon manufacturers in the Empire. The subject owns a wide array of property across Imperial space that has been put to a variety of uses. The subject's monetary wealth is considerable, and his direct connections made to the local governments of dozens of worlds in pursuit of acquisition of corporations and properties are impressive.
The subject is owed favor by many individuals and groups, of which there are a few noteworthy specific inclusions: officials at the Ministry of War and Imperial Diplomatic Service, plus a small handful of Inquisitors working for the Ministry of Intelligence.
His network of Apprentices and subordinate Sith Lords is also noteworthy in regard to influence. Many have flocked to the subject in order to learn from one of the most accomplished warriors of the Empire. Those who have been deemed worthy of such teaching, six Apprentices and two Lords as of the time of writing, have been subjected to intensive training regimens and have developed an almost fanatical loyalty to their master. Others numbering in the dozens have been accepted as Apprentices but not deemed good enough for that same treatment. They have instead been sent out to pursue their own areas of talent with regular reports back to their master, with rewards granted for notable progress made. It is impossible to calculate just how useful these Apprentices are to maintaining the subject's influence, but with thirty-two confirmed Apprentices and four Sith Lords in the field it seems plausible that they can be used to considerable effect as needed.
Detailed notes on known rivals and enemies, outside and within the Empire.
Due in large part to his abrasive temperament, the subject has many rivals and enemies. Countless citizens of the Republic would be pleased to see him dead for his brutal efficiency in waging war against them before the Treaty of Coruscant was signed. The Jedi Order in particular is known to have labeled him a high priority target during the war, and they almost managed to kill him on two occasions. A variety of Sith Lords and Darths who envy his sway with the army and his holdings in the technology sector could be counted as rivals, or perhaps direct enemies if their tensions were to grow more heated. Apprentices and Sith Lords who have been turned away when seeking to make the subject their master, of which there are dozens, likely harbor resentment that may turn into plots for revenge. He also possesses many business rivals, especially other major stakeholders of Czerka Corporation against whom the subject is currently fighting for majority control of the company.
List and description of other known associates, including underlings.
The subject has many underlings, but among them he favors a select few. While these eight are subjected to rigorous training and more harrowing tasks, the rest seem to be left largely to do as they please. It is impossible to ascertain just how much these far-flung underlings view the subject as their true master, or if they see their arrangement simply as a convenience that allows them more latitude than another master might offer, but they are of little consequence either way. The favored eight, however, are noteworthy.
Sith Lord Zisna Alesh: A female Sith Pureblood of roughly 90% purity. She has respectable influence in the spheres of Defense of the Empire and Laws and Justice, and lesser pull within the realm of Imperial Intelligence. She is noted by her peers as being vicious to the point of being considered a danger even to her allies, but her admirable combat skills brought her under the subject's protection when other Sith Lords were apparently plotting an unfortunate accident for her.
Sith Lord Neyo Sypher: A Mirialan male, one of the few survivors from the first group of force-sensitives the subject brought to Korriban after bringing his homeworld under the auspices of the Empire. His influence is concentrated largely in the areas of Military Strategy and Military Offense, with some minor interests in the areas of Expansion and Diplomacy. He appears to be a fanatical follower of the subject. Such loyalty is unusual and worrisome, but thus far it has not conflicted with the needs of the Empire.
Apprentice Tishombra Ferro: A Sith Pureblood woman with about 75% purity of blood. While she is the most recent addition to the subject's group of favored underlings, she appears to have already fallen into line with the gruelling training regimen. During the writing of this report, subject was overheard regaling another Darth with the story of Tishombra Ferro slaying a fellow Apprentice during a training exercise performed with true lightsabers rather than practice blades, and it did seem to be told in a tone of glowing positivity. Her interests and limited influences seem to lie in the realms of Defense of the Empire, the Mysteries, and Sith Philosophy.
Apprentice Shiyqo Seknos: A male Sith Pureblood with an almost immaculately pure lineage. He has some influence in the sphere of Production and Logistics thanks to his family's deep ties to that sector, and more minor sway in the realms of Military Offense and Defense of the Empire. He is a hedonistic creature that has been forcibly made to fit the mold of a ruthless warrior, and it shows in his tendencies for laziness and getting distracted from his studies by simple pleasures.
Apprentice Amogeva Garr: A Miralian female, from a later batch of force-sensitives sent years after the subject finished his work on his homeworld. She has such an abysmal lack of influence in the Empire that it is doubtful she will ever rise above the rank of Apprentice, but her relentless dedication to learning the nuances of lightsaber combat seems to have been plenty to catch the subject's eye. She had been assigned as an Apprentice to a Sith Lord, but reports indicate he gladly gave her up in exchange for a small sum of credits.
Apprentice Hanna Durunen: An Arkanian woman, and by all accounts an absolutely insufferable person to be around. During the creation of this report she insisted on being interviewed so that her information was recorded accurately. The holotape managed to get lost in transit. Her obsessive pursuit of self-improvement by way of genetic modifications and cybernetic enhancements naturally led her to develop ties with elements of the spheres of Biotic Science and Technology.
Apprentice Coriss Scelax: A Sluissi male. His limited political influence lies entirely in the spheres of Technology and Military Offense, both predominantly in areas related to starship manufacture and repear, but that comes as no surprise from a Sluissi. Even a layman observer would understand why the subject pursued this particular Apprentice: his technical skill with a lightsaber is beyond impressive. While he has a habit of falling into rote patterns of the forms, he has the potential to become a master with time, experience, and a teacher willing to break him out of those predictable behaviors.
Apprentice Raevys Lanell: A Vahla woman whose presence among this core group of warrior underlings is somewhat unusual. Where the rest are all greatly skilled in the use of a lightsaber, her talents appear to lie largely in the use of the Force, including the use of her telekinetic abilities to wield up to three lightsabers at once. She has made connections within the realms of Ancient Knowledge and Sith Philosophy, but reports indicate she has declined multiple offers from Sith more deeply ensconced in those spheres to leave the subject and become their underling instead.
Sith Warrior Kutar Zema: A human Sith Warrior who is absolutely massive in stature. Recently all of the Subject's mentions of his favored group of underlings have gone from noting nine members to eight, and it appears Kutar Zema is the odd one out at the moment. The reason for this disfavored status is unclear, especially given the Warrior's accomplishments and the fact that he has been the Subject's Apprentice for much longer than any of the others. The requisite level of investigation to uncover the truth was deemed unnecessary for the completion of this report.
List of known all ownerships, including vessels, non-standard equipment, slaves and locations.
- One IL-5 Ocula Starfighter, named Mazdar's Fury. Taken from the eponymous Mazdar, a mercenary hired by the Republic, after he was ambushed and killed on Taris. Heavily modified over the years, equipment loadout uncertain.
- One HK series assassin droid, believed to be a recovered and refurbished HK-50. While technically capable of combat, the subject has heavily modified it and has allowed it to go without a factory reset for long enough to become unstable and erratic. It performs tasks better suited to a third-degree droid, and the subject has refused multiple offers of free replacement with top of the line third-degree droid models. Will not respond to any model number designation, but does respond to the name 'Rustbucket' per command of its owner.
- Uncertain number of lightsabers, all built entirely by the subject. He is known to carry three at a time: one on either hip and another secreted inside his clothing. Most commonly this includes one curved hilt saber and two standard sabers.
- Exact number of slaves uncertain, but likely in the tens of thousands. They are invariably set to work in his owned factories and mines or on land he possesses.
- Uncertain number of partially or fully owned corporations, predominantly manufacturers of war tech (especially blasters, droids, and starship weaponry) and the mines that supply them.
- Owns many gladiatorial arenas, particularly some large ones on Geonosis, and is known to visit them when time permits.
- Owns a variety of property across the galaxy seemingly purchased as potential locations for new factories to be built. Those deemed unsuitable for such use have been left to be run by locals to extract whatever profit may be found. As such, the subject inadvertently became the owner of a wide assortment of farmland and small businesses over the last decade.
Psychological evaluation of candidate.
The subject is combative and unruly, as noted in other portions of this report. He did not sit down for the mandatory psychological evaluation until directly ordered to do so by a member of the Dark Council. His rebellious nature was successfully suppressed during his training in the Academy and under the watchful eye of Darth Korrus, but since attaining his own Darth status he has become difficult to work with. He is prone to bouts of volatile anger, though they appear to be willful outbursts rather than the subject being ruled by his emotions. Though impossible to confirm within the confines of the psychological evaluation session, the subject is reputed to be more or less pleasant to interact with so long as he does not have reason to see one as a nuisance or obstacle. He has a strongly charismatic presence even while ranting about this evaluator's deficiencies, which makes this hearsay easy to believe.
The subject's adherence to the Sith Code is immaculate and his loyalty to the Empire and its interests is without question. No recommendations made for further evaluation or observation.
List and description of known and suspected flaws. To be put into restricted database.
Pride and arrogance are the subject's primary flaws. He has a history of being easily goaded into fights, and he has a bad habit of underestimating opponents. This often leads to reckless behavior that risks serious injury or death.
The subject's narrow focus on offensive combat uses of the Force may be considered a flaw. While his combat defenses are noteworthy, his defenses regarding mental attacks are likely not strong enough to stand for long against a highly skilled opponent. This likely played a part in the subject's near death in the attack on the Jedi Temple of Coruscant.
A preference for physical force over other means of resolving conflicts causes a variety of troubles for the subject. Many former Apprentices have fled and sought other masters due to being unwilling to submit to the domineering ways of the subject, and there have been instances of needless conflict with other Darths due to this mentality.
The subject displays hedonistic tendencies that may present exploitable weaknesses to his enemies.
Known interests of the candidate.
The subject is relentless in pursuit of practical, technical, and theoretical knowledge regarding lightsaber combat and his areas of specialization in the use of the Force. Most of his waking hours are spent in practice, whether alone or against sparring opponents or by taking part in battles on various planets the Empire is still working to pacify in the wake of the Treaty of Coruscant being signed.
Though not as extensive, his interest in the mechanical workings of various forms of technology is well known. This interest is most often directed toward building or modifying lightsabers and droids. He is known to have workshops dedicated to these pursuits secreted within the grounds of some of his many owned properties, as well as others meant for tinkering with his personal fighter, blasters of all sizes, and other various pieces of tech.
Various hedonistic pursuits, primarily sex and watching blood sports. Occasional use of mind altering substances.
