The Inquisitors were former members of the Jedi Order who survived Order 66 and were then turned to the dark side by Emperor Sheev Palptaine to become Jedi hunters. They were used to find and kill survivors of the initial wave of the Great Jedi Purge.

Currently in “Star Wars” canon there are as many as 12 different Inquisitors who have appeared in various media. Here are all the Inquisitors who have been depicted in canonical “Star Wars” media as of July 17, 2020.

“The Inquisitorius. A project of mine, long planned. Slaves to the light side once, now awake. Hunters, one and all.”
“What do they hunt?”
“Why, Jedi, of course.”
Darth Sidious and Darth Vader, from the comic book “Darth Vader: Dark Lord of the Sith 6”

Unidentified Inquisitors

Two unidentified Inquisitors, a red-skinned female and a male Twi’lek, first appear in the comic book “Darth Vader: Dark Lord of the Sith 19” as they join Darth Vader to hunt former Jedi Master Eeth Koth.

In the game “Star Wars: Uprising” there is an Inquisitor who is sent to Anoat to hunt Jedi survivors. It is unclear if this Inquisitor is a different character from the already established Inquisitors.

There is an unidentified female Inquisitor who took a Dathomirian female, Jerserra, as an apprentice, first shown in the 2017 book “Ghosts of Dathomir.” This Inquisitor is definitely a new character as the events depicted in the book don’t match with the other female Inquisitors.

As members of the Inquisitorius, they were former members of the Jedi Order who survived Order 66 and were then turned to the dark side and servants of the Empire. Not much is known about them, as even their Inquisitor titles are unknown, and nothing is known about their previous identities or positions in the Jedi Order.
