Keiter

The former apprentice to the Sith Lord Darth Vaul, Keiter is a skilled Sith in her own right and a nemesis of our protagonists. The party encountered her on Horuz, where she was controlling the slave markets of the Pit - but were chased from the planet by her after convincing her to open a Sith holocron for them.

Background

Our protagonists know little of Keiter's background, other than that she was apprentice to Darth Vaul around 1040 BBY when his ship, the Astronomical Vengeance, crashed in the jungles of Ord Trasi. Though the party has no conclusive evidence, they suspect that she murdered her Master - but was unable to acquire the Sith holocron locked in his safe before escaping the crashed ship.

Appearance

Keiter is tall, even for a Pau'an, standing at around 7'2. Though at first glance she appears calm, softly spoken and non-threatening, this is nothing but an impressive visage. Distinctive red tattoos appear almost tear-like pulling down to her cheeks. Keiter does not show her age, doubtless through the subtle influence of her Sith powers. Her robes seamlessly blend Pau'an design - including the characteristic tall neckpiece - with subtle influences of Sith garb.

Characteristics

Keiter is a skilled manipulator and not readily fooled. Having spent the last 40 years working in the Galaxy's underbelly, she is well accustomed to people trying to get an edge over her - and has little patience for it. While perfectly willing to take risks to achieve her goals, Keiter is not one to take insult or betrayal lightly. Though perfectly talented with a lightsaber, Keiter's greatest skill is her ability to manipulate the minds of those around her towards whichever emotion she desires. On Horuz, she used this power to dampen the emotions of the Pit's slave markets, ensuring docility amongst the people kept prisoner there.

Current events

The party first encountered Keiter on Horuz, where they broke her hold over the slave markets of the Pit. Afterwards, Keiter tracked them to Dantooine and then to Korriban, using the intelligence she managed to glean from the Sith holocron - and a tracker which she managed to plant on the Empyreal Enigma. She chased them from Korriban in her ship, but was held back by Krum's savage use of a seismic charge.
