"Have I become him?"
"No. You have chosen not to."
―Reva and Obi-Wan Kenobi
Reva Sevander was a human female Force-sensitive who served as a member of the Inquisitorius under the title of Third Sister during the early reign of the Galactic Empire and briefly held the position of Grand Inquisitor. Prior to the rise of Emperor Palpatine, Sevander held the rank of Jedi Initiate during her time in the Jedi Order. Ambitious and reckless, the Third Sister quickly rose through the ranks of the Inquisitorius despite being ostracized and distrusted by the other Inquisitors. Though she willingly served the Empire, and harried fugitive Jedi and other Force-sensitives, Sevander was driven by an ulterior motive. Haunted by the trauma from her past, the Third Sister sought to exact revenge on the Dark Lord of the Sith Darth Vader for his slaughter of the Jedi during Order 66, which had taken away the only family she had ever known.
Sevander was only a Jedi youngling at the time of the Great Jedi Purge at the end of the Clone Wars. She and her fellow initiates were in the Jedi Temple on Coruscant at the time it was attacked by the Sith Lord Darth Vader and his 501st Legion. She watched as her friends were slain, and played dead amidst the bodies. Years later, she resurfaced and joined the Inquisitorius of the Galactic Empire, both of which had the Dark Lord counted among its leaders. Because she knew that Vader had been the Jedi Knight Anakin Skywalker before joining the Sith, Sevander, christened as Third Sister, became obsessed with locating his former Jedi Master, the fugitive Obi-Wan Kenobi, as a means of exacting revenge by entering the Dark Lord's good graces and assassinating him whilst he was fixated on Kenobi. To lure her quarry out of hiding, the Third Sister arranged the kidnapping of Princess Leia Organa, the daughter of Senator Bail Organa, who she believed would turn to his old ally for help.
Though she came close to capturing Kenobi when he rescued Organa on Daiyu, the Third Sister was prevented from doing so by the intervention of the Grand Inquisitor, who had enough of her rashness. The Third Sister unexpectedly turned on the Grand Inquisitor and left him for dead, but lost the Jedi Master and the Princess when they fled the planet. Having been notified of his old mentor's resurgence, Vader offered the Third Sister the opportunity to prove herself worthy of assuming the position of Grand Inquisitor at his side if she found the Jedi Master. Kenobi was tracked to Mapuzo, where the Third Sister discovered that he had help from a Jedi-ferrying network known as the Hidden Path. There she took Organa hostage once again to root both Kenobi and his new allies out of hiding. With the Princess in captivity in the Fortress Inquisitorius on Nur, the Third Sister laid another trap for the Jedi Master when he and Path member Tala Durith infiltrated the base to rescue the young girl. The Third Sister planted a tracking device on Organa's droid, L0-LA59, and allowed Kenobi and Durith to escape with Organa so that she could uncover the Path.
Early life
A Force-sensitive human female, Reva Sevander was once a Jedi who lived at the Jedi Temple on Coruscant as a youngling. During her time at the temple, she was trained by Grand Master Yoda.
Order 66
"We thought he was there to help us. I tried to help them, but I couldn't. I was too weak. When he left, I played dead. Hid with the bodies. Felt them go cold. They were the only family I knew… and he slaughtered them." ―The Third Sister remembering Darth Vader's attack on the Jedi Temple In 19 BBY, she and her clan of Jedi Initiates were training under the instruction of Jedi Master Minas Velti. As the Sith Lord Darth Sidious issued Order 66, his apprentice, the former Jedi Knight Anakin Skywalker led the 501st Legion in an assault on the Jedi Temple. Clone troopers entered the room Velti, Sevander, and the other younglings were in and began to fire at Velti, who quickly cut them down and led the younglings away. The group made their way through the temple halls as the Jedi Master protected them from the clones until she was killed by them, leaving her charges to fend for themselves. They ran from the fighting until they came across Skywalker himself. Sevander and the other younglings assumed he was there to help, but became horrified when he started slaughtering them, having not realized he had turned to the dark side of the Force as the newly-christened Darth Vader. Sevander was stabbed but survived and hid under the corpses of the other younglings in the group she was with. After being impaled by the Sith Lord, she later received cybernetic replacements due to the injury.
Turning to the dark
"You came to us from the gutter. Your ability gave you station but all the power in the world can't mask the stench beneath." ―The Grand Inquisitor on the Third Sister Sevander eventually escaped the Jedi Temple and turned to the dark side. Wanting revenge on Vader, currently acting as the commander-in-chief of the Galactic Empire's forces, she willingly joined the regime's Inquisitorius as an Inquisitor, in order to get close to him. Becoming known as the Third Sister, she was tasked with hunting the last of the Jedi Order. The Grand Inquisitor wrote her off as "least of them," recalling that she had come to them from "the gutter" and that her dark side ability was the only reason she was able to remain within the Inquisitorius' ranks. Much like the Third Brother, the specific actions the Third Sister carried out in the name of the Galactic Empire remained a mystery. Reva formulated a plan to kill Vader by bringing in his former mentor, Obi-Wan Kenobi to the Dark Lord of the Sith, seemingly with the goal of winning his approval, only to kill him while he was distracted with Kenobi. This plan led to her becoming fixated on capturing the Jedi Master.
Reva Sevander had brown eyes, dark skin, and black hair, which she wore in a braided ponytail with cornrows on the sides. As the Third Sister, she was highly ambitious. Thus, her mind was set on tracking down Jedi Master Obi-Wan Kenobi, with her fellow Inquisitors assuming she hoped his capture would gain her Darth Vader's favor and therefore improve her station. In reality, she sought only to get close to the Sith Lord to kill him for revenge on his actions against her fellow younglings.
Her aspiration put her at odds with the Grand Inquisitor and Fifth Brother, who both found her to be rash and unbalanced, in addition to looking down upon her as the "least of them." Sevander was aware of Vader's former persona of Anakin Skywalker due to his raid on the Temple. Her desire for revenge blinded her to the hypocrisy of her own actions; she wanted revenge on the Dark Lord for killing the Jedi she saw as her childhood family, only for that quest to lead her down a path where she was willing to kill children and families herself if it meant avenging her own. However, Reva considered her revenge against Vader fair. In order to carry out her revenge, Reva cynically pretended while infiltrating the Inquisitorius to be a loyal servant of Vader and to have patriotic tendencies towards the Galactic Empire.
The Third Sister was skilled with her lightsaber—notably, she was able to effectively block blasts from a T-47 airspeeder with it. The Third Sister was also extremely agile and athletic, which she demonstrated by jumping across the rooftops of Daiyu and evading some of the strikes of her former master after betraying him. Ultimately, her lightsaber skills proved futile when she faced Vader, who was able to effortlessly evade each of her strikes despite Reva being very quick on her feet. The only strike that she landed during her duel against Vader was one that managed to knock the saber the Dark Lord was using out of his hands, though her adversary quickly recovered.
Sevander also displayed the ability to use the Force, being able to lift and throw an explosive at an airspeeder that was trying to escape Fortress Inquisitorius. She was also able to extract information from the minds of individuals and use the Force to collapse an antenna tower while chasing Kenobi. Despite this, the Third Sister was somewhat defenseless against attacks from other Force-users, as she was easily kicked back by the Grand Inquisitor after he blocked her lightsaber strike with the Force, she was also prevented from sitting on a chair by the Fifth Brother, was non-fatally Force choked by the Dark Lord, and was Force-pushed back by Kenobi, being easily overwhelmed on all four occasions.
Before she became a Jedi hunter, she had possession of a droid. However, it was taken away from her, like many of her past belongings and acquaintances. During her time as an Inquisitor, the Third Sister wore black armor with a cape, and wielded a red-bladed Inquisitor lightsaber. The lightsaber's hilt was customized to split in half. After her los...
"Reva is a boss. I mean, really like a full-on athlete. She is on a mission and will conquer that at all costs when given the opportunity."
