| '''Shadow Hand''' was the title given to the second-in-command of the Sith King, or [[starwars:Sith'ari|Sith'ari]], of the Old Sith Empire. Later, members of the [[Sith]] Order would use the title as an equivalent to Sith apprentice. [[starwars:Darth Vader|Darth Vader]] trained his own disciples in the hope of pitting them against each other to find a suitable Shadow Hand, and the reborn [[starwars:Palpatine|Darth Sidious]] used the naming for his [[starwars:Operation Shadow Hand|campaign to retake the Galaxy]].

| Typically, the Shadow Hand is granted the full title of [[Sith Lord]] after competition of his training, regardless of whether the Deputy Grand Master ultimately rises to the Iron Throne himself.

Deputy Grand Master (DGM) — The Deputy Grand Master has responsibilities and authority only second to the Grand Master. Operating under the auspices of the Brotherhood’s leader, the Deputy Grand Master often finds himself assisting through a variety of roles in nearly every aspect of the Dark Brotherhood. He assists the Grand Master in establishing policy and hierarchy, providing for the future of the organization. The Deputy Grand Master is important for the oversight of both the Dark Council and Clans alike, adding perspective to that of the Grand Master. Beyond his executive responsibilities to the Grand Master, however, the Deputy Grand Master has been given several important tasks on his own, such as the development and administration of Vendetta events. The Deputy Grand Master is often next in line for the Iron Throne, but his first line of duty is as a friend and advisor to the Grand Master.
The current Deputy Grand Master is Renatus.
