Seth Iscandar

Lieutenant (formerly Major) Seth Iscandar is an officer of the Imperial Security Bureau. He is a human male with curly red hair and a prominent scar on his cheek.

Background
Based on the information Vesper Syl'tine acquired through the Bothan spynet, Iscandar is a native of Corellia who had a distinguished and decorated 20-year career as a Republic bureaucrat. His most recent position prior to the establishment of the ISB was as an assistant director within the Republic Bureau of Corrections, overseeing about 60 prison facilities in a particular sector of the colonies. Based upon how quickly and readily he has incorporated himself into the new structure of the Empire, he probably had some idea of the changes that were coming and may even have been helping them happen behind the scenes. He is not Force-sensitive.

During the Game
The PCs first heard of Iscandar from Reevo Tetsu, who witnessed Iscandar's shuttle landing at the secret Jedi Temple on Kamparas the day after the purge began to remove documents from the temple archives.

When Rhen's friend Sekar Mirah made contact with her through the Force to ask Rhen to rescue her, she sent a mental image of Iscandar that identified him as one of her captors, and a person she was afraid of.

Through Emor Zhalto, Iscandar sent a message to Nawah Masin in which he claimed to be holding her mother Jaquina Masin hostage. Iscandar told Nawah she would need to use her "particular set of skills" in his service if she wanted her mother to remain alive and well. When Nawah met him on Corellia to learn more, he told her that the Empire wanted to make use of her experience in hunting Dark Jedi to round up potentially Force-sensitive individuals and either capture or kill them (this would be left up to Nawah's personal judgment). Though the Empire would continue to hold on to Jaquina as insurance against Nawah's cooperation, Iscandar hoped that Nawah would eventually see the value in what the Empire was doing, which would make confining Jaquina no longer necessary. He agreed to give Nawah access to an expense account to cover the necessary costs of her work.

Iscandar's first mission for Nawah was investigating Castus, a potentially Force-sensitive Umbaran crime lord on Corellia, to determine whether he could be brought into the Empire's service (or if he should be killed). The PCs helped Nawah to capture Castus alive and planned to deliver him to Iscandar, along with a tracking device they hoped would tell them where to look for Jaquina and Sekar Mirah.

Nomi Amersu, disguised as Nancy the human, encountered Iscandar again after she was captured during the PCs' prison break on L-343. He planned to transfer her to the Citadel (along with Reevo, who he had also apprehended) before Master Quiet interfered. After learning that Sekar Mirah was also at the Citadel, the PCs kidnapped Iscandar to make use of his credentials to gain access to the facility. However, Iscandar anticipated their plot and set a trap for them there. They left him drugged and manacled in a storage crate while the Citadel was sinking into lava on Lola Sayu, then went about their business.

A few months later, the PCs again faced Iscandar on Kashyyyk, where they were delighted to learn he had been demoted to lieutenant in the wake of the disaster at the Citadel. Iscandar used his remaining influence to involve himself in the (re)capture of Rhen and Sekar Mirah. When Lilikai Singan arrived on Kashyyyk and tried to take control of the cloning project spinning up at the Zaltin Corp factory, Iscandar traded Tia Ba to her to retain his control of the frozen Nightsisters. He then transferred them to a dark vergence on the forest floor of Kashyyyk for reasons that are not yet entirely clear. After this plan went haywire, the PCs prevented Iscandar from escaping and took him hostage aboard Rogue Ronto, where they interrogated him about the Empire's designs for the PCs and Zoph and about the intel he had on Lilikai's plans.
