BiographyEdit

Military careerEdit

Republic counterintelligence believed he was once posted inside the Imperial Navy, but that he had lost any military idealism.

Later lifeEdit

The man codenamed "Keeper" was the ultimate spymaster in the Empire. Charged with overseeing the Operations Division of Imperial Intelligence, Keeper approved every infiltration into enemy territory, every execution of an enemy of the state. He was responsible for the actions of his agents. If he failed in the eyes of the Minister of Intelligence or the Sith on the Dark Council, he could have been swiftly replaced. Having held his post for almost a decade, the Keeper was suspected of overseeing Projects "Operation Morning Crest" and "Operation Starbender."

Minister of IntelligenceEdit

After the defeat of Darth Jadus, Keeper was promoted to the position of Minister of Intelligence, thus letting Watcher Two replace him as Keeper.

Personality and traitsEdit

"You were soft, agent. There's no room for inefficiency here—we're not on missions of mercy."

―The Keeper lectures an agent on Imperial principles.^[src]

The "Keeper" was an efficient leader of Imperial Intelligence. He was described as being merciless in his eliminating of the agents that he saw as weak or inefficient. He maintained his power by knowing when to obey orders and when to take initiative. Nonetheless, he disliked overt cruelty and did show concern for the well-being of his agents.

The Keeper never took kindly to "missions of mercy." He did not like seeing his agents taking "unnecessary risks in order to avoid violence." However, this is mostly due to concern about the psychological well-being of agents and wishing to avoid having them traumatized by their work.

Behind the scenesEdit

On the Keeper's biography page on the official website, there are several phrases in Aurebesh. When translated, they read "Watcher, Minder, Fixer, Cipher", "SIS note: higher ambitions?", and "strained Sith relations".^[1]
