Jedi Shadow
From Wookieepedia, the Star Wars wiki.
A Jedi Shadow sneaks aboard a Herald-class shuttle during the Old Republic era
A Jedi Shadow was a Jedi investigator whose duty was to seek out and destroy any sign of the dark side of the Force. If Jedi Guardians were the protectors of the Order, the Shadows were the secret police. Maw was a Jedi Shadow before the Great Jedi Purge, after which he himself was corrupted by the Inquisitor Jerec.
After the Great Sith War, the Jedi Covenant used Consulars for the same purpose as the Shadows, using visions to remain vigilant for any sign of the dark side. However, the Covenant did have its own division of covert Shadows that more closely mirrored the old Jedi Shadows in skills and purpose.
