Lyon Olof

Lyon Olof was a Human from who served as a member of the Imperial Inquisitorius.

Biography
In his early life, Lyon Olof worked as an agent within Republic Intelligence during the Clone Wars, a large scale conflict that was fought between the  and the. Following the end of the war and the establishment of the Galactic Empire, Olof was eventually recognized for his Force-sensitivity and was recruited into the Imperial Inquisitorius, an organization that was dedicated to wiping out any vestiges of the Jedi Order.

At some point during his career as an Inquisitor, Olof was assigned to an Imperial prison complex on the backwater Outer Rim planet of Dathomir. Once he arrived at the prison, Olof examined several reports about a number of attempted incursions on the facility by indigenous marauders. Based on various aspects of the reports, such as the descriptions of the methods used by the invaders, Olof was eventually able to come to the conclusion that the marauders were a faction of native Force-sensitive people known as Nightsisters, a splinter group of the Witches of Dathomir. Though Olof possessed only a limited amount of knowledge about the group, the Inquisior regarded the Nightsisters as a very dangerous threat to both the prison and, potentially, the Galactic Empire; therefore, Olof took drastic action and personally assumed control of the entire prison facility.

After a Nightsister encampment was located by Imperial scouts in the wastes of Dathomir, Inquisitor Olof proceeded with a squadron of stormtroopers, hoping to personally and swiftly wipe them out. Confident that his own task force would be sufficient enough to deal with the Nightsister threat, Olof exhibited no qualms about confronting the dark side cult head on. Due to him not being fully aware of their capabilities and numbers, however, Olof underestimated the Nightsisters, who managed to overwhelm most of his task force in a predetermined surprise attack. After being critically injured during a brief skirmish, Olof was forced to retreat from the encampment and was rushed back to the Imperial prison’s medical clinic.

After he had recovered from the numerous injuries he received, Inquisitor Olof immediately sensed that the medical supervisor who had overseen his recovery, Allura Drayneen, was Force-sensitive. Due to this, Olof grew progressively suspicious of her, eventually to the point where the Inquisitor began to connect her to the Nightsisters he had encountered in the wastes of Dathomir. After examining Allura’s personal file, Olof noticed that she had been stationed at the prison not long before the Nightsister raids had initially begun. Based on various factors, Inquisitor Olof eventually came to believe that Allura Drayneen was an agent sent in by the Nightsisters to sabotage the Imperial prison from within. Olof immediately had Allura arrested and arranged to interrogate her personally.

Throughout the interrogation, Olof was able to sense Allura’s growing apprehension under his constant scrutiny. Believing that he had pressurized her sufficiently, Olof eventually accused Allura of being a spy for the Nightsisters, though she denied his accusation. After growing frustrated by her denial, Olof decided to make use of a more potent technique in order to fully confirm Allura’s true identity and motives. Hoping to forcefully obtain the truth from Allura by examining her own memories, Olof used his abilities with the dark side of the Force to pry into her mind. Based on the information he gained from her memories, however, the Inquisitor was eventually able to verify that Allura was not a Nightsister agent.

Though he was disappointed, Olof realized that Allura had the potential to become a member of the Inquisitorius due to her Force-sensitivity. He regarded her as an individual who could be easily moulded into a potentially effective asset of the Galactic Empire. With a desire to achieve something from his efforts by recruiting a prospective new member, Olof attempted to persuade Allura to join the Inquisitorius. By using the information he gained from the interrogation session, Olof swayed Allura into believing that joining the Inquisitorius would have been more rewarding than her life on Dathomir. Ultimately, Olof was successful in his attempt to convince Allura, who accepted his proposal.

Personality and traits
Lyon Olof was known to have taken pleasure in his role as a member of the Imperial Inquisitorius and exhibited much confidence when undertaking assignments that were given to him, sometimes to the point of overconfidence. He was also regarded by some something of a thrill-seeker and sometimes personally sought out and assumed tasks purely for challenge they gave him; due to this, he was sometimes chastised for not taking his role seriously enough. Despite this, Olof also exhibited traits that led some to assume that he was someone who greatly disliked failure, especially when the failure was his own; in which case he would sometimes pursue what would have seemed like a failure to ensure that it turned into something that would gain him credit.

During his time on Dathomir, Olof grew frustrated by the seeming difficulty of the task that he himself had shouldered, despite appearing confident that he was capable of assuming the task to begin with. In particular, hunting down members of the Nightsister cult proved to be far more challenging than he had initially anticipated. After being forced to retreat from a Nightsister encampment following a skirmish that nearly cost him his life, Olof was initially fully convinced of his assertion that the Dathomir Imperial Prison’s medical supervisor, Allura Drayneen, was an emissary of the dark side group. After discovering that his accusation was incorrect, Olof sought to gain something from his efforts by attempting to recruit Drayneen into the Inquisitorius.
