Seth Iscandar

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.

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. It is unlikely that he is Force-sensitive.

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.
