and Darth Callidus to fulfill the duties of attending to the members of the Sith Ascendant Order as squires and armorers. They are faceless and their entire physique is covered in long, dark robes with empty hoods. They have no unique appearance traits nor voices, only a faint glow of red-ish eyes comes from below their hoods. Due to their service often bringing them into mortal danger, their existence is measured by their individual service rather than in aging years.

- Personality: The Ascendant Armigerss are silent, possessing neither voice nor physical form below their robes and therefore are not having any unique characteristics. This extends to their personality. They are entirely bound to serve a specific Sith and that service is their personality. There is no self-determination and no aspirations, no ideals or emotions, just service to the Sith. Though they are forming a sort of Force bond with their masters, allowing them to serve efficiently and obey commands without delay. Their telepathic whispers can offer support in dire situations or help to concentrate, but are exclusively done in the tongue of the ancient Sith.

Beyond their role as armigers, they serve as vital conduits in the Sith Ascendant Order's most intricate rituals. Their bodies, forged through Sith Alchemy, are living vessels for the Dark Side, capable of channeling and amplifying its energies with eerie efficiency. During rites of power, they gather in silent circles, their forms flickering like shadows cast by an unseen flame, their collective presence magnifying the potency of the rituals. Though they do not engage in combat, their very existence is a testament to the mastery of their creators, a fusion of alchemical artistry and Dark Side sorcery. To the Sith they serve, they are both tools and symbols - a reminder that even the smallest and most unassuming creations can wield immense power when shaped by the will of the Dark Side.
