Reva

Reva Sevander, known as the Third Sister, survived the massacre at the Jedi Temple and turned Darth Vader's own Inquisitorius into her means of revenge. She trained as a Jedi initiate under Yoda. During Order 66 she watched Anakin Skywalker cut down her clanmates, whom she thought had come to be saved by him. He stabbed her, and she lived by playing dead among their bodies. Years later she joined the Inquisitors, and she was ruthless and reckless enough to anger both the Grand Inquisitor and the Fifth Brother. Her plan was to deliver Obi-Wan Kenobi to Vader and strike while the Sith Lord was distracted. In 9 BBY she lured Kenobi out of hiding by arranging the kidnapping of young Leia Organa. She stabbed the Grand Inquisitor on Daiyu, captured Leia again on Mapuzo, and tracked the Hidden Path to Jabiim, which earned her the title of Grand Inquisitor. Her attempt on Vader's life there failed badly. He ran her through, stripped her of rank and left her for dead. She then learned about Luke Skywalker from a message meant for Kenobi and went to Tatooine to kill the boy. At the last moment she saw that she was becoming the man she hated. She returned Luke to his family, laid down her lightsaber on Kenobi's advice and walked away into an unknown future.
