Zor'venrel
- I am the future of the Sith Order, and I intend to reshape it in my image. The Empire and the Sith belong to me.
- —Sith Inquisitor, Star Wars: The Old Republic (2011)
Zor'venrel is my Sith Inquisitor, and it's probably not a coincidence that his name is similar to that of another Twi'lek character of mine. Unlike that character, though...this one isn't very nice.

Personality
Zor'venrel is in some ways the typical Sith. Cruel, malicious, sadistic-all sterling qualities for a rising Sith Lord. But deathly serious he isn't. He has a twisted sense of humor, and treats his allies well-after all, why discard tools that have done their job so well? But he reserves his true darkness for those who take issue with his slave origins. Those people, he either kills or arranges for terrible fates. Strangely, this leads to perhaps his one redeeming trait: those who would mistreat slaves, or look down upon aliens find him an implacable enemy. Note that this hardly means he opposes slavery-in fact, he finds it to be an excellent testing ground to see who is strong. It worked with him, after all.
Zor'venrel has been referred to as "Darth Jerkass" on occasion; even among equals, he does tend to have a smart mouth.
Abilities
Zor'venrel is a Sith Sorcerer, preferring to use the power of the Dark Side of the Force over the use of his lightsaber. His preference is to simply channel lightning into his foes-why dirty his robes with the cretins? He is a fair combatant with a lightsaber, but he far prefers to deal with opposition at range.
Despite his humble origins, Zor'venrel has spent a great deal of time since his uplift on Korriban studying ancient Sith artifacts, and has become a fairly impressive scholar of the Dark Side. While he would not claim to be the leading expert on such things, he's catching up fast.
Equipment
In addition to a Fury-class starship as a mobile headquarters, Zor'venrel utilizes a double-bladed lightsaber. He also may have assorted relics related to the Dark Side of the Force on his person at any given time, some of which may or may not give him an additional edge in a conflict.
Trivia
Zor'venrel's backstory is the story of the Sith Inquisitor in the Star Wars: The Old Republic game, with primarily Dark Side choices made (within the bounds of his personality above).
As of Knights of the Fallen Empire, Zor'venrel embraced wholeheartedly the power offered by Emperor Valkorion, right up until its use nearly fried his body. At that point, he could be considered an enemy of Valkorion. Additionally, as of Shadow of Revan, he began to pursue a romance with Lana Beniko, and his affections have been returned.
