"I'm stronger now because of the pain."
―The Second Sister, to Cal Kestis[2]

The Second Sister, formerly known as Trilla Suduri, was a Force-sensitive human female and a member of the Inquisitorius during the early reign of the Galactic Empire. Prior to the rise of Emperor Palpatine, Suduri held the rank of Jedi Padawan during her time in the Jedi Order. Trained in the Jedi arts, she was an expert lightsaber duelist and later became one of the Empire's deadliest Jedi hunters. However, Suduri's strongest asset was her brilliant intellect, being able to anticipate the behavior of her prey.

The Second Sister was once a Jedi who learned the ways of the Force under the Jedi Knight Cere Junda. In the aftermath of the Clone Wars, Suduri and Junda sought to hide from the newly-risen Empire while protecting a group of Jedi younglings. Ultimately, both Master and Padawan were captured and subjected to torture, allowing the dark side of the Force to transform Suduri into the Second Sister. Having forsaken her former identity and the Jedi way, she became a relentless Inquisitor dedicated to destroying the last remnants of the Jedi Order under the command of the Emperor's right-hand, Darth Vader. An ambitious and cruel woman, the Second Sister sadistically toyed with her prey and desired to win the approval of Darth Sidious himself.

In 14 BBY, the Second Sister tracked the Jedi fugitive Cal Kestis to the planet Bracca. Kestis managed to escape from the Inquisitors with the help of Junda, however. As a result, the Second Sister hunted the two Jedi across the galaxy, confronting Kestis on Zeffo and raiding planets she believed that Kestis had been to, such as Kashyyyk and Ontotho, which eventually led her to face Kestis on Bogano. When the Second Sister acquired a holocron containing the list of Force-sensitive younglings, Kestis followed her to the Inquisitorius headquarters on Nur and defeated the Second Sister in a lightsaber duel, giving Junda a chance to make amends with her fallen apprentice. Their reconciliation was cut short by the arrival of Lord Vader, who executed the Second Sister for her failure. Before her death, the Second Sister told Kestis and Junda to avenge them all.

Years after her death, the memory of the Second Sister continued to haunt both Kestis and Junda, playing a significant influence on their actions. Kestis' prior fights with her caused him to dread having to face another Inquisitor while Junda's guilt over the Second Sister's fate influenced her to take big risks such as her attempt to convince the Fifth Brother to leave the Dark Side.

Biography[]

Capture and fall[]

"She was weak. Cracked in an Imperial torture chair. Surrendered the location of her naïve Padawan. They would never have found me… if it wasn't for her. She betrayed me."
―The Second Sister, to Cal Kestis, on Cere Junda[2]

Like other Inquisitors, the Second Sister was once a Jedi until she turned to the dark side.

Before the end of the Clone Wars, Trilla Suduri was taken as a Padawan by Jedi Knight Cere Junda. The pair served alongside clone troopers until the end of the war when the Jedi Order was wiped out by the implementation of Order 66, and escaped along with a group of younglings. Suduri and her master's luck would quickly run out as their hiding place was discovered by an Imperial patrol soon after the start of the Great Jedi Purge. During the Empire's attack, Suduri insisted that she and her master should stick together, but Junda decided to attempt to lead the Imperials away from their position. As her master ran to confront the enemy, Suduri begged her not to leave them. After Junda left, Suduri comforted one of the younglings.[2]

While Junda would succeed in leading the Imperials away, she would eventually be captured. During her imprisonment at the Fortress Inquisitorius on Nur, Junda was subjected to torture by her captors and would eventually reveal the location of Suduri and the younglings. The Padawan would soon be captured and subjected to the same torture as her master at Nur. Gradually, the torture, along with her master's betrayal, wore Suduri down and she succumbed to the dark side, becoming an Inquisitor known as the Second Sister. The Second Sister then approached Junda who was strapped to a machine and surrounded by Imperial Stormtroopers. As her former Master began to recognize her, one of the Troopers then handed the Second Sister her helmet. As she put it on, Junda flew into a rage and ended up using the dark side to unleash a Force wave that pushed the Second Sister to the ground and killed all of the Troopers and everyone else in the room, allowing Junda to make her escape.[2]

Sometime after her induction with the Inquisitorius, the Second Sister crafted a double-bladed lightsaber to serve as her primary weapon. Like all other Inquisitors, the Second Sister was given permission to customize her lightsaber to best fit her own brutal fighting style.[4]

On at least one occasion, the Second Sister was in the fighting pit in the Inquisitorius Headquarters when the Thirteenth Sister entered to train. The two then sparred against each other, with the Thirteenth Sister noting afterward that the Second Sister seemed to view everyone as prey.[5]

In 14 BBY,[6] the Second Sister was present at the Inquisitorius Headquarters alongside the Grand Inquisitor, Seventh Sister, Fifth Brother, Eighth Brother,[7] Thirteenth Sister, and Tualon Yaluna.[5] She stood beside a table where two of the Inquisitors toasted with dust juice to the death of former Jedi Master Eeth Koth during their recent mission as they began discussing what the Dark Lord of the Sith Darth Vader would do after all the Jedi were dead.[7]

Hunting Cal Kestis[]

First encounter on Bracca[]

"We seek a dangerous fugitive. This is no common anarchist but a devotee of the treasonous Jedi Order. Turn yourself in or everyone present shall face summary execution."
―The Second Sister, to the scrappers[2]
Second Sister hanging out

The Second Sister hunted the surviving members of the Jedi Order, including the former Padawan Cal Kestis.

Sometime later, the Second Sister traveled to the planet Bracca with the Ninth Sister and some Purge Troopers in search of a possible Jedi. Halting a train carrying members of the Scrapper Guild, the passengers were rounded up. The Second Sister then piloted her TIE/IN interceptor, the TIE/IN Interceptor Prototype[8] to land nearby at the same time as the shuttle carrying the Ninth Sister landed. The two emerged from their respective ships and walked over to address the entire Scrapper Guild.[2]

The Second Sister asked whether the entire group of Scrappers was complete, something that was affirmed by one of the Purge Troopers in attendance. She then addressed the Scrapper Guild members, clarifying that they were hunting down a member of the Jedi Order. She reminded them that failure in turning over the 'traitor' would result in a charge of sedition. She then ordered them to hand over the Jedi suspect under the threat of having the entire Guild summarily executed. As Purge Troopers took aim at the scrappers, an Abednedo named Prauf defiantly spoke out, confronting and berating the Empire as a whole for overworking the Scrapper Guild, walking close to the Second Sister and gesturing in her direction accusingly. The Second Sister in response then brought out her lightsaber and summarily executed Prauf on the spot. His friend, Cal Kestis, then reacted by trying to cut her down with his lightsaber, revealing himself as the Jedi. She blocked Kestis' attack with her double-bladed spinning lightsaber and taunted his action as she lifted him with the Force, throwing him over to the Ninth Sister and causing him to be briefly stunned. Kestis then switched on his blade again, prompting the Ninth Sister to drop him off the ledge.[2]

The Jedi survived the fall, landing onto a train. While he fought his way towards the front carriage, Junda arrived aboard the Stinger Mantis to extract him. When the Jedi attempted to board the Mantis, the Second Sister shot at the ship from her TIE/IN interceptor. The Jedi fell onto a platform, and the Second Sister then landed her TIE nearby to confront him. The Second Sister then jumped down to Kestis's location and turned on her blade, forcing Kestis to switch on his saber in turn and assume a particular posture. From his stance, she identified that he had possibly underwent training, going on to taunt Kestis on whether she might have met and killed his master prior. The two then briefly fought, until the Mantis returned, shooting at them and separating the two right as they were struggling with their locked blades. The Jedi limped onto the ship as Junda shot at the charging Second Sister who was deflecting her shots back at her. The Mantis door managed to close just as the Second Sister reached it, with the door suffering a slash from the Second Sister's saber. The Inquisitor then latched onto the cockpit window and used the Force to alter the steering, forcing the Mantis into a spin. Junda, however, took back control of this and the Second Sister was shaken off the window, allowing the Mantis to escape.[2]

Duel on Zeffo[]

"Cal Kestis. How predictable. Oh yes, I know your name… Your past… And most importantly… about Cordova."
―The Second Sister, to Cal Kestis[2]

Since her first encounter with the Jedi, the Second Sister discovered him to be Cal Kestis, the apprentice of Jaro Tapal. She also learned that his intentions were now linked with Junda's old master, Eno Cordova, and his holocron containing the locations of Force-sensitive children. At some point Kestis was investigating ancient ruins on the planet Zeffo, which prompted the Empire to reinstate its excavations there. The Second Sister predicted Kestis would return to find out more, and awaited his arrival near the Tomb of Miktrull.[2]

SecondSisterRevealed

The Second Sister reveals her former identity of Trilla Suduri to Jedi Padawan Cal Kestis.

When Kestis found her, the Second Sister revealed her knowledge of him and his intentions, asking where Cordova's holocron was. Kestis responded by switching on his saber, an action that the Second sister praised as she switched on her own. The pair engaged in a duel where the Second Sister constantly verbally boasted and emphasized her supposedly superior abilities to Kestis. The duel finally came to an abrupt end when the Second Sister used the Force to lift Kestis and then push his body against a nearby gate emblazoned with the Imperial seal, breaking the gate. Kestis' droid, BD-1, then activated a shield on the other end of the gate that managed to prevent her blade from striking Kestis, separating the two. The Second Sister made a show of testing the gate's strength with her lightsaber before accepting that she could not attack him directly for the moment. The Second Sister commended his learning, comparing him to Junda's last apprentice (herself) while noting that the apprentice had still been superior. After talking more of Junda, her apprentice, and why Junda hadn't told him more about the apprentice's past, she removed her helmet, revealing that she was that apprentice. Kestis wished to resist her manipulation, but the Second Sister coined the possibility of Junda selling him out like she did to her and told him that Junda had used the Dark Side. Continuing to predict Junda's betrayal of him, the Second Sister also brought up Kestis' master, Tapal, and proceeded to anger Kestis, who said he would protect the force sensitives on that list, though Trilla said that she once held that view as well, before calling her helmet to her hand and departing the scene.[2]

As Kestis continued towards the Tomb of Miktrull, he attempted to contact Junda when the Second Sister sliced and rerouted his communications, claiming that she had perfected all of Junda's techniques. She claimed that she had acquired an artifact at the rear of the tomb, and taunted Kestis, speculating about Cordova's intentions with the Zeffonians. As she continued to taunt him, she sent Purge Troopers after Kestis, all of which he defeated. After Kestis raised the tomb from the floor of a chamber and examined it, the Second Sister thanked him for clearing the way, revealing that she had deceived him to find the tomb. Kestis then had BD-1 reverse her slicing of his comms and encrypt it from her influence.[2]

Assault on Kashyyyk[]

"Normally I wouldn't waste my time with the likes of insurgents… but I'm looking for a Jedi Padawan… and I know he's been here… and for that… all of you… will suffer."
―The Second Sister before fatally choking an insurgent.[2]

At some point after hearing of Kestis' recent collaboration with Saw Gerrera's Partisans on Kashyyyk against Imperial forces, the Second Sister traveled to the planet and led reinforcements from the Empire to crush the growing local resistance. Their attack happened concurrently with Kestis' imprisonment at the hands of the Haxion Brood. After the Imperial Refinery was reclaimed, Gerrera retreated, but the Second Sister was able to confront one of his insurgents. She revealed her intent to find Kestis and declared that all of the Partisans would suffer, before suffocating the insurgent.[2]

When Kestis later returned to Kashyyyk, he witnessed the devastation wrought by the Second Sister's counterattack. Kestis also came up against the Ninth Sister, who had stayed on the planet in case Kestis returned. During their fight, Ninth Sister continually insulted both Kestis and the Second Sister, belittling the Second Sister's ability to catch Kestis and her supposed penchant for gathering souvenirs from the people she hunted.[2]

This section of the article assumes 100% game completion of Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order. Any alternate stories may be noted in the "Behind the scenes" section. The events in this section may or may not have been confirmed as canon.

While exploring Kashyyyk sometime after the Second Sister's attack, Kestis came upon a helmet on the landing platform used by the Partisans. Using his psychometry, Kestis heard the Second Sister's confrontation of one of the insurgents as well as the subsequent execution by her hand.[2]

In another instance also after the Second Sister's attack, Kestis came across two troopers conversing with each other. One stated that he had been complimented by a Purge Trooper recently. The second trooper commended him and claimed that the Second Sister had actually tried to compliment the second trooper earlier but that he was too busy fighting at the time. The first trooper then declared that they were true assets to the Empire. The two troopers were later killed by Kestis.[2]

When Kestis returned to the Mantis, he explained to the crew that the Second Sister was gone for the moment, but was still actively chasing them. Junda then began to open up about her part in Trilla's fall and her acceptance of how Junda would never be able to make it right before emphasizing that they still had a chance to save the people within the holocron. Kestis then attempted to put Junda's mind at ease, asserting how Junda had gone through the same thing the Inquisitors had yet still refusing to turn to the Dark Side.[2]

Mission to Ontotho[]

Joining the battle[]

"The planet has been pacified, but for some reason there's one last pocket of resistance in this region. Nothing we can't handle, ma'am."
"You will refer to me as Inquisitor. And if you could handle yourself, commander, I wouldn't be here."
―Commander Atty and the Second Sister[9]
AttackOfTheInquisitorius

The Second Sister begins an attack on the insurgents.

The Second Sister traveled to the world of Ontotho after rumors of the presence of a Jedi there arose. She piloted her TIE/IN Interceptor Prototype to a landing in proximity of an ongoing battle between local Imperial forces and a pocket of resistance forces. As she climbed down from her cockpit, several Purge Troopers stood by to await her orders, whereupon she asked if they had located the field commander, which one of the Troopers affirmed. Upon approaching the frontlines of the ongoing battle, she demanded a report of the conflict, yet her identity was questioned by Stormtrooper Commander Atty, to which she told him she was a person who did not ask things twice. Despite Atty insisting that they had the situation under control, the Second Sister merely informed him that she would not be there if he was correct, and addressed the rumors that had brought her there, rumors of an unusual foe.[9]

Atty once again dismissed the idea, saying that a trooper had thought he had seen a lightsaber yet since the trooper had died days ago, the story had taken a mind of its own. The Second Sister did not share Atty's view of the situation, and informed him that she wished to meet their enemy herself, ordering Atty to have his men cease fire, before surging forwards with her Purge Troopers. They were fired upon, prompting the Second Sister to ignite her lightsaber to repel enemy fire, before ordering her Purge Troopers to return fire, spread out, and capture her one of the attackers alive.[9]

The fake Jedi[]

"A blaster? You're no Jedi! Where did you get that lightsaber, woman?"
―The Second Sister[10]
SecondSisterOnOntotho

The Second Sister duels Neralli on Ontotho

The Second Sister soon noticed that the enemy had stopped firing, and when questioned by a Purge Trooper on whether they should pursue, the Inquisitor dismissed the idea, saying that she thinks that their foe would come to them instead. The Second Sister then moved again, noticing an individual wielding a lightsaber.[9] She ordered her troops to secure the area, and declared that the individual was her target, before attacking. The Second Sister then engaged in a lightsaber battle against an apparent Jedi. As they fought, the Second Sister quickly gained the upper hand in the fight, even mocking her adversary by calling her too slow and too soft.[10]

Forcing her opponent back into a corner, the Second Sister told her that the Force had abandoned her, only for her opponent to attack her with a blaster, which was easily deflected off the Second Sister's armor. However, this made the Inquisitor realize that the old woman was no Jedi. The Second Sister then slashed with her lightsaber, and severed the woman's arm, before torturing her, demanding to know where an insurgent like her had gotten a lightsaber. The woman revealed the weapon was taken from a temple, but before the Second Sister could question her prey further, she was interrupted by a Purge Trooper, who reported that the area was secure per their orders, as the Insurgent Cell was smaller than expected. Not getting any further information from the old woman, who declared they would never find the temple, the Second Sister killed her, and ordered that any other insurgents found be brought to her, and that she would find the temple herself.[10]

Investigating the temple[]

"It appears that there are no survivors left, Inquisitor. We found nothing of value."
"No. You didn't look hard enough…"
―A Purge Trooper and the Second Sister[11]

The Second Sister later saw to the attack on a village during her search for the temple. When she arrived at the village, she questioned the Purge Trooper Captain on whether the people of the village were still fighting back. When the Captain confirmed that they were, the Second Sister informed him that that meant that they knew something, and was keeping it from them. When the Captain declared that they had found nothing, the Second Sister merely used the Force to expose a stairway leading underground, stating that they just didn't look hard enough.[11]

SecondSisterExploresTheTemple

The Second Sister begins to explore the Ontotho temple.

Arriving at the entrance of the temple, the Second Sister told her troopers that only two of them would accompany her. As they entered, she questioned what the locals had been keeping from them in the temple. She began examining the writing on the walls when one of the Purge Troopers identified a droid in the rubble. The Second Sister reactivated it and it continued a sentence stating that someone had gotten everyone killed. When she asked who it was talking about, it said the Jedi had caused all of it.[12]

One of the Purge troopers informed the Second Sister that the Jedi had been to the temple before. When he asked what had happened at the temple, she replied that it was impossible to say but acknowledged the temple's importance to the locals. The droid that she had questioned began to shut down due to low power. Finding a datapad in its hand, the Second Sister realized that it had belonged to Eno Cordova. Seeing that its last entry was incomplete, she ordered her troopers to prepare to depart for the planet Bogano, emphasizing that Junda and Kestis would not be able to hide from her forever.[13]

Final duels and death[]

"Avenge us."
―The Second Sister's last words to Cal Kestis and Cere Junda[2]
Cal vs Trilla last

The Second Sister was defeated by Kestis in their final confrontation.

After Kestis recovered the key to recovering the holocron, he traveled to Bogano to retrieve it from a vault. While engrossed in the attempt, Kestis experienced a Force Vision that showed him training a group of force sensitive younglings that were eventually pursued and tortured by the Empire. In the vision, Kestis was cornered and threatened by the Second Sister yet again. Kestis thus kneeled and surrendered to her to spare the youngest of the younglings, with the Second Sister verbally gloating at his surrender. By the end of the vision, Kestis had embraced becoming a full Inquisitor, to the horror and sadness of the younglings under his care. Coincidentally, shortly after emerging from the vision, Kestis actually encountered the Second Sister, who confronted Kestis in the vault after he uncovered the holocron. Unlike her previous encounters with Kestis or her previous mission to Ontotho, Trilla noticeably no longer wore her Inquisitor's helmet. In their exchange of words, Kestis told the Second Sister that she made a mistake not killing him on Bracca. She bragged that she had only wagered his life against finding the holocron and winning the favor of the Emperor, the Dark Lord of the Sith Darth Sidious himself. Trilla then emphasized that while they both had their pride, Kestis' pride had cost him the lives of all the innocents whose information was held within the holocron. After she proceeded to taunt him, the two fought each other. During their duel, Kestis was able to push the Second Sister to the ground and take her lightsaber. The lightsaber, though, forced him to view the Second Sister's past right then and there. The Second Sister then taunted him about the saber's long and deadly past as she grabbed the holocron and fled. The memories he viewed of the Second Sister were of the moment Junda left her as a padawan with another youngling to try to distract the Empire as well as her subsequent torture under the Empire and her first meeting with Junda as the newly-appointed Inquisitor. When Kestis finally emerged from her memories, he encountered several Imperial forces on the planet that had either accompanied her or arrived shortly after she did.[2]

The Second Sister took the holocron to Fortress Inquisitorius and at some point procured an identical double-bladed spinning lightsaber to replace the one that Kestis had taken. When Kestis went back to the Stinger Mantis with the Second Sister's saber, he informed her of Trilla's success and the danger it now posed. He also explained what he had seen from Trilla's perspective, apologizing for doubting her. Junda then used Trilla's saber to ceremonially bestow upon Kestis the position of a Jedi Knight. Junda predicted the Second Sister would go back to Nur and she and her crew traveled to Nur to retrieve the holocron. The Stinger Mantis was able to pass the Imperial blockade unnoticed and Kestis and Junda used escape pods to reach the surface, infiltrating the fortress and killing many troops, with Junda using the Second Sister's stolen saber as her primary weapon. As Kestis made it to the interrogation room to take back the holocron, the Second Sister ambushed him, and the pair fought once again. Kestis said that he saw the suffering she had been through, telling her it was not too late to let go of her hate. The Second Sister disputed his insight by claiming the pain made her stronger and taunting him with the holocron.[2]

TrillaDeath

As the two continued to fight, Kestis weaponized the Second Sister's emotional baggage, forcing her to relive her trauma and anger at Cere. Kestis used the advantage to weaken her hate and connection to the Dark Side gradually allowing him the opportunity to gain the upper hand.[14] Eventually, Kestis managed to hit the Second Sister in the shoulder, causing her to drop her lightsaber and fall to her knees in defeat as Kestis forcibly retrieved the holocron from her. Junda then arrived and approached the Second Sister, wishing to redeem her old Padawan, although the Inquisitor insisted that it was too late. Junda didn't believe it was and apologized to her for all of the pain she had caused her. The Second Sister then stood up and told her how much hate she carried against her, with the Second Sister's face now conveying a more neutral expression. Before she could say anything more, she sensed the arrival of her current master, Darth Vader, who then used the Force to hold her. Unable to break free, Suduri told Junda and Kestis to "avenge us" before Vader, who was unforgiving of his subordinate's inability to complete her mission in hunting Kestis and securing the holocron, activated his lightsaber and executed her.[2]

Legacy[]

Immediate aftermath[]

Having just executed the Second Sister, Vader was able to capitalize on her death to strike further fear into Kestis and Junda. Junda told Kestis to run as she charged at Vader with the lightsaber Kestis had taken from the Second Sister in Bogano. Vader easily threw her away from him using the Force and strode towards Kestis, advising him that it would be wise to surrender, with Kestis somewhat agreeing. Shortly after, Vader pulled Kestis into a chokehold as he stood right alongside the fallen Second Sister's corpse. Kestis managed to pull a section of the fortress down towards them, forcing Vader to stop the object in midair and throw Kestis out of the room, thus leading to Vader's pursuit of Kestis throughout the station.[2]

When Vader caught up to Kestis in the Tower Transit Passage, Junda managed to intercept Vader and duel him while using the Second Sister's lightsaber. She eventually turned to the Force to try to stop Vader. Vader complimented her ability, stating that she would have made an excellent Inquisitor. As she continued to use it, Vader could sense that she was tapping into the dark side, something he told her as Vader started to stand and fight off her best efforts. Kestis convinced Junda to fight the urge and the two managed to escape from the Fortress after flooding the section.[2]

A tense subject[]

"I am aware what happened with the Second Sister. You will not find the same cracks in me, Jedi. I have chosen to be here."
―The Fifth Brother, to Cal Kestis[14]

Years after her death, the Second Sister was still a subject that was on the minds of the crew of the Stinger Mantis. During an argument where the crew were debating the merits of trusting Chellwinark Frethylrin, a defecting Imperial analyst, Cal Kestis brought up Cere's last-minute willingness to save him from the Second Sister's blade. As Kestis expected, Cere became affected by the mention of her former padawan, casting enough doubt to make her see the validity of aiding the analyst. At another point during the same mission, Kestis remembered how he defeated the Second Sister in big part due to his weaponizing of her emotional baggage, with Kestis certain that his power alone might not have stopped the Second Sister in their final fight. When the Fifth Brother encountered Cal Kestis on Murkhana, Cal attempted to ask him more about his background, but the Fifth Brother curtly replied that he was aware of what had occurred with the Second Sister, emphasizing that Kestis would not find the same weaknesses within him as he did in her. During their subsequent fight, the Fifth Brother eventually gained the upper hand, however Cere Junda intervened, ambushing the Fifth Brother from above. This led them to turn the tide against the Fifth Brother, but at a crucial moment where Cal and Cere would have finally been able to defeat him, Cere blocked Cal's blade, recalling the memory of Trilla and appealing to him to return to the light.[14]

Carved into history[]

In the years following the fall of the Galactic Empire, Jedi Master Luke Skywalker traveled the galaxy to rediscover the history of the Jedi Order that had been suppressed by the Empire.[15] In his search for knowledge, Skywalker became aware of the Second Sister's existence. During his self-imposed exile on Ahch-To, Skywalker wrote a book he titled The Secrets of the Jedi, which chronicled the information he had learned on his travels. The Second Sister was one of several Inquisitors who were depicted in the book as illustrations, alongside information pertaining to the Inquisitorius.[16]

Personality and traits[]

"I am what Cere made me."
―Cal Kestis and the Second Sister[2]
SecondSister-SWTLC

Having teamed up with Inquisitorius, Suduri became the Second Sister, a cruel, ambitious, and powerful Inquisitor.

Trilla Suduri was a tall, slender human female with light-brown skin, blue-green eyes and sleek black hair. During her time as a Padawan, she was kind and compassionate, caring for her master and the younglings under her protection. However, after her master's betrayal and her torture at the hands of the Galactic Empire, her personality became twisted.[2]

As the Second Sister, she was cruel and ambitious, relishing in hunting down all Force-sensitive survivors for the Empire.[17] Furthermore, she was a vindictive and dishonest warrior, driven by a comprehensive hatred for the Jedi Order that had failed her.[18] She was an exceptionally cunning and intelligent individual, regarding Jedi and fellow Inquisitors alike as nothing more than prey.[5] Her sociopathic tendencies allowed her to patiently manipulate almost any adversary into revealing their weakness and fears. She was also known to keep souvenirs that were taken from the individuals she hunted. While she was known to sadistically toy with her opponents, an extension of her manipulative abilities, she was also quite arrogant, bragging to Kestis that there was no technique Cere Junda had at her disposal that she hadn't perfected. However, despite her intimidating posture, she showed an immense fear of her last master, Darth Vader, and was seen visibly trembling when he appeared behind her just before her execution at his hand.[2]

Powers and abilities[]

"There is no technique Cere has that I haven't perfected."
―The Second Sister[2]
SecondSister-SWZ97

The Second Sister was an expert lightsaber duelist and adept with the dark side of the Force. She could use Force Dash to great effect in battle, and also utilized Force drain during her duel with Kestis on Nur,[2] although its greatest weapon was the exceptional ability to predict the behavior of its prey and create countermeasures to defeat its opponents.[17] She was capable of telekinetic techniques such as Force push and Force repulse. She could also slow her fall. She was also proficient at saber throw, being capable of throwing it multiple times in a row and making temporarily orbit around her.[2] The Second Sister's skill in combat was so impressive that Kestis believed that the fact that he defeated her was due in part to the Inquisitor's emotional state at the time, and that perhaps he would have lost if not for that.[14] During her time as Cere Junda's Padawan, Trilla was taught how to slice by her master. The Second Sister demonstrated her slicing proficiency when she managed to easily reroute Cal Kestis' comm signal that had initially been connected to Junda on the Stinger Mantis.[2] She was also a capable pilot and was known to fly a TIE/IN interceptor.[19]

Equipment[]

"Be careful with that thing. It's been through hell."
―The Second Sister to Cal Kestis, regarding her lightsaber[2]
SecondSisterLightsaber2-SWTLC

The Second Sister's double-bladed spinning lightsaber

The Second Sister was equipped with a helmet and wore a personalized version of the standard gray and black Inquisitor attire. She also had a black cape with an Imperial crest in white on the shoulder portions.[7] She was armed with a double-bladed spinning lightsaber. After losing her lightsaber to Cal Kestis after their third encounter, the Second Sister replaced it with an identical one. During her duel on Nur, she used flash grenades and even had the help of probe droids to combat Kestis.[2]

Behind the scenes[]

"So that is the Second Sister Inquisitor so…a new, a new Inquisitor that we have designed and developed and are introducing in this game, and for those with, with eagle eyes, we have actually teased off this character in an image of Darth Vader number 19—if you go back and take a look—written by Charles Soule."
Steve Blane[20]

The Second Sister was created for the 2019 video game Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order.[2] She first appeared in Darth Vader (2017) 19, a comic book written by Charles Soule, penciled by Giuseppe Camuncoli[7] and released on August 8, 2018.[21] She was later identified in the 2018 reference book Star Wars: The Dark Side, written by Tricia Barr.[18] The Second Sister was later identified as Trilla Suduri in Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order. Elizabeth Grullón provided the voice and motion-capture performance for the character.[2] Grullón started performing motion-capture for the role in October 2018.[22]

During gameplay, if the player is forced to repeat the process of fighting Vader in the interrogation room due to having been killed prior, the Second Sister's body may dissappear completely from Vader's side in the reloaded scenario. This is assumed to be simply a gameplay bug.[2]

Initial plans for the Fallen Order game envisioned the Grand Inquisitor to be the one to punish Second Sister's failure by executing her at the end of the game. This role was quickly changed to accommodate Darth Vader instead, as the Grand Inquisitor was seen to occupy too similar of a role to the Second Sister.[23]

In The Art of Star Wars Rebels, the Seventh Sister is mistakenly referred to as the 'Inquisitor Second Sister'.[24]

Since October of 2018 I have been secretly creating this sinister, deadly, ruthless woman to send chills down your spines in JEDI: FALLEN ORDER. This has been the most delightful secret to keep for a year. The emotional, cruel and cunning TRILLA SUDURI. Wow. I cannot express to you all the honor I feel to be a VILLAIN IN THE STAR WARS UNIVERSE!!!" (backup link)
