Grand Inquisitor

Few figures in the Star Wars corner of Marvel Comics carry quite the menacing gravitas of the Grand Inquisitor, who made their debut in Charles Soule and Giuseppe Camuncoli's Darth Vader #7 in 2018 — stepping onto the page fully formed as a dark presence in the Modern Age of comics. Operating in the same shadowed corridors as Darth Vader, Anakin Skywalker, and fellow Inquisitors like the Fifth Brother, Seventh Sister, and Reva Sevander, this character inhabits one of Star Wars' most chillingly compelling corners of canon. With appearances spread across Darth Vader, Star Wars: Obi-Wan Kenobi, and Star Wars: Inquisitors, the Grand Inquisitor is a figure whose reach across multiple series speaks to their importance in Marvel's galaxy far, far away. Ten catalog appearances and counting — compact in number, but every one of them essential reading for fans who want the full, dark picture.
