Darth Cern (also known as the Huntsman) was a Sith Marauder who may or may not have been several different people. He would appear at random times, usually in the vicinity of a Jedi academy, and attack anyone who had the misfortune to cross his path. The purpose behind these killings was never fully understood, but among the more accepted theories was the theory that Cern was targeting Jedi profilers, a secretive group who discreetly watched their fellow Jedi for signs of dark side corruption.
