Fictional Role
Where the Justicar enforces the Covenant, the Fist of the Brotherhood enforces the will of the Grand Master. Trained in secretive techniques and granted access to the best weapons, the Fist is a formidable extension of the Dark Lord of the Sith. Used as an enforcer or as an assassin, the Fist is usually only sent when an example must be made. More often than not, the Fist will be used as an assassin to kill members that are acting outside the Dark Covenant. The remainder of the time they spend training themselves and others to serve on the Royal Guard, the Elite Dark Jedi that are tasked with the protection of the Dark Lord of the Sith, as well as assisting with the training of the Brotherhood's ground forces.
Trivia
- The title of Fist was first used in the Legacy series of Star Wars comics, connoting a more militant version of the 'Hands' that served the Dark Lord of the Sith, Darth Krayt.
