Lord Vaint was a near human who served as Chief of Intelligence in the Grand Sith Alliance, a Moff in the Imperial Remnant, worked for the Dark Jedi Order for a time, and who occasionally allied himself with the Darknights, a large mercenary faction headed by Solo Talon, a Mandalorian warrior of some prestige. Renown for his skill in Makashi, Vaint had a decidedly sadist nature, even among those that dwelt in the darkness, and was apt to torture prisoners, even when it was obvious that the had no information worth hearing. He held himself to a high standard of honor and chivalry, though, and opponents, both Jedi, Sith, and everything in between, often came to respect him during their duel.
