Personality: Grahm is extremely studious, often giving up days of sleep in order to gain the information he requires, whether this if through a captured Holocron, a datapad entry, or an prisoner. When retrieving information on anything, he remains dispassionate and scrutinizing, often spending hours pondering the meaning of an single sentence if the information is cryptic or useful enough. To Grahm, he still has a long life ahead of him, and the Empire must always receive the best service possible from him, and if that means that he must spend a night up interrogating a witness, then so be it. He considers his training in the arts of the Teras Kasi to be personal, and he sets specific scheduled times for this training each week that his aides can only interrupt if a list of conditions are met which equate to "Dire Emergency", as he is more concerned with his health then he his with the need to sign a form.
Unique Characteristics: Grahm is unusually fit and well-muscled for a man his age due to his active training in the Teras Kasi arts.

Character Bio: Grahm Lowtide was born on the verdant planet of Naboo to a pair of Teras Kasi Masters who had migrated to the planet from Alderaan in order to teach their craft to both the wealthy and the other wealthy folks who had migrated from Coruscant or somewhere similar for the health benefit. Although they never actually had any need of the skill, their clients always praised the process because it kept them fit and healthy, although very few ever completed the course to it's full completion. However, his parents taught Grahm the skills of the Teras Kasi from the moment he first could walk until he was accepted as an apprentice of the Jedi Knight Saxton Hale at age nine, and even when he was undergoing Jedi training on Coruscant they would send him weekly updates in the fighting style through the Extranet.
His training as a padawan went smoothly, with the exception of a single major incident. Grahm's skill with the force was above average in his class, and he had no problems with learning any of the force skills except for two. When he first started, and for weeks afterward, Grahm couldn't perform a successful Force Push or Force Pull to save his life, which was something his instructors insisted would sometime become the case. So he worked harder, and harder, and eventually he took his strengths and applied them to his weakness in the skill and was successful in applying his extensive knowledge of the Teras Kasi fighting style into the problems he was encountering with his Force Push and Pull powers, and he built something that according to his trainers and master, was an "Unorthodox perversion of our lessons." This was shown during a spar with a fellow Padawan when they were both equipped with sparing sabers, where Grahm ended the fight within a second by using what was discovered later to be called "Force Strike" to bash the child in the head with his Teras Kasi skills from ten feet away. To this day Grahm still has difficulty with Force Push and Pull, although he more then makes up for it with his mastery in the Force Strike, at least in his opinion.
Once the Clone Wars began several years later, Grahm participated and exemplified himself in several fights, including but not limited to the Second Battle of Geonosis, the Defense of Kashyyk, the Conquest of Muunilinst, the Battle of Ryloth, and the Battle of Felucia. Although he was older then the average Jedi in the field by this time, and his skills in combat were admirable, he never advanced within the Jedi Order past the level of Knight. This caused resentment in Grahm, which was noticed by Emperor Palpatine, although this information wasn't acted upon until just before Order 66 was executed. When this did finally occur, Grahm and a half-dozen other Jedi of varying ranks were brought before Palpatine and offered the positions within the Imperial Inquisition as Order 66 was carried out. Grahm knew that it would be suicide to not take the position he was offered as a High Inquisitor under Grand Inquisitor Mann, and shortly thereafter he took the position as Grand Inquisitor when Grand Inquisitor Mann died within ten feet of where Emperor Palpatine died.
