Sith Inquisitor

Sith Inquisitor was a Sith who generally focused their energies and skills towards dark side philosophy rather than battle. They were usually trained on Sith academies such as the one on Korriban. They used Force Lightning regularly with great skill.

Overview
Due to the nature of the Sith, an Inquisitor's survival depended on their natural cunning and manipulation. The Inquisitors experimented with forbidden powers to not only survive, but to excel and seize authority. Regardless of potential, few acolytes succeeded in facing the trials to become Sith Inquisitors. Only the most determined acolytes attained such an achievement. Inquisitors were skilled at exploiting both their enemies and their allies to further their own personal agendas.

Sith Inquisitors were able to drain life from their opponents and use Force Lightning, but were also skilled with the lightsaber.

They were known for their ability to spread fear and terrorize their opponents simply with their presence.

Millennia later, during the New Sith Wars the title was used by Lord Kopecz, a member of the Brotherhood of Darkness. By 137 ABY, the One Sith revived the title once again.

Behind the scenes
The Sith Inquisitor will be a playable class in Star Wars: The Old Republic. It will be the second Force user class aligned with the Sith Empire along with the Sith Warrior. The class will focus on ranged Force powers such as Force lightning. The characters of Emperor Palpatine and Darth Maul are cited as inspirations for this class.
