Jerec (Inquisitor)

Rumored to have been one of the Emperor's Hands, Jerec was so powerful in the Dark Side that some dared to compare him to Darth Vader. Little of his life is known, though at some time he lost his eyes and wore a blindfold-like mask to cover the empty sockets. Upon learning of the legendary Valley of the Jedi (presumably sometime during the early days of the Empire), Jerec sought out and captured the Jedi Master Qu Rahn--the only full-fleged, living Jedi to know its location. Aboard Jerec's flagship Vengeance, Rahn refused to reveal the Valley's location. The dark lord probed Rahn's mind, and found that there was someone else who knew the secret, a man by the name of Morgan Katarn. Refusing to give Jerec the opportunity to seek out Katarn, Rahn stole the lightsaber of Yun (one of Jerec's Dark Jedi) and engaged all seven Sith aboard. Jerec proved to be more than a match. Jerec used the Force to "subdue" the Jedi Master, then decapitated him. Jerec and his band of fallen Jedi set off in search of, now, the only living person in the entire galaxy who knew where to find the Valley. However, Katarn wouldn't talk either. In his anger, Jerec slew the simple farmer and ordered one of his minions, Maw, to drive Katarn's head on a spike to set an example. Jerec would have to wait about twenty years before getting another chance.

After the fall of the Empire and the rise of the New Republic, a droid named 8t88 supplied Jerec with the location of the Valley's map. After deciphering the map, he immediatley left for Ruusan, the Valley's home. [[Image:Jerec1.JPG|300px||thumb||Jerec draws in power from the [[Valley of the Jedi]]

After absorbing a considerable amount of power from the Valley, Jerec dueled Kyle Katarn. The son of Morgan Katarn, Kyle had tracked Jerec to Ruusan to avenge his father's death. After a long and heated battle, Jerec would be no more. ==
