Legend

this famous actor showed a strong aptitude for the Force. Brandl had the handsome, chiseled features of a holovid star, although time eventually took its toll. When he was discovered by Emperor Palpatine, Brandl readily accepted his tuelage and became one of Palpatine's Imperial Inquisitors and a Dark Jedi. In this capacity, Brandl killed many Jedi and other individuals at the Emperor's order. A native of Trulalis, he fathered a child - Jaalib - who also was Force-sensitive and followed in his father's acting footsteps. Brandl ran into trouble of Najiba while fleeing his position as Dark Jedi, killing the Twi'leki Arruna when he became angry at her lover, Lathaam. He was trying to get back to Trulalis, but was stuck on Najiba as it passed through the nearby asteroid field. He was transported off the world by Thaddeus Ross, after trying to cut off his own hands with his lightsaber for causing Arruna's death. When he returned to Kovit, he sought out his old teacher, Otias Atori, in an effort to return to the light side. He fled Trulalis with Ross when they were attacked by Menges, and was eventually captured by Captain Grendahl and returned to High Inquisitor Tremayne. He allowed himself to be taken, in order to protect Jaalib. It was believed that Adalric was executed, but he eventually escaped and returned to Trulalis to be with Jaalib. There, he spent five years teaching his son everything he knew about acting. When Fable Astin sought out Jaalib, Adalric felt the deep connection she had to the Force, as well as the inner struggle she felt at the loss of her battle with Vialco. He gave her the opportunity to train with him, however, briefly, so that she would be better able to face Vialco in the future. Adalric was a stern master, though, and was harder on Fable than he had been on himself, hoping that her success would help return him to favor in the Emperor's eyes. As she progressed, Adalric made a short trip to Byss, in hopes of regaining his position. Palpatine agreed, but demanded that Adalric bring a young Jedi for his own uses. Fable fit the bill, and Adalric sent Jaalib to Iscera while summoning Vialco to Trulalis. Adalric tricked Fable into killed Vialco outright, then imprisoned her. Jaalib, having discovered his father's return to the Dark Side, managed to rescue Fable and return her to Deke Holman and the Alliance. Adalric was once again thwarted.
