Known only as the Eighth Brother, this adult male was a Force sensitive and a member of the race known as Terrelian Jango Jumpers. He was once associated with the Jedi Order, but cut ties with them to become a Dark Jedi.

The Inquisitorius engaged a Rebel Alliance cell known as The Spectres, which also involved an encounter with the former Sith Lord known as Maul. While attempting to evade pursuit, the Eighth Brother leaped from the top of a Sith Temple, but was unable to bridge the gap between buildings and fell to his death.
