The Imperial Inquisitorious

So far, we have seen four Imperial Inquisitors in Star Wars Rebels: The Grand Inquisitor, the Seventh Sister, the Fifth Brother, and an unidentified Inquisitor seen fighting Ahsoka, Kanan and Ezra on Malachor.

So, a few questions:
[list]
[*]Do you think Inquisitors are inherently meant to hunt down and kill low-level Jedi (Knights, Padawans, etc.)? And if so, why?
[*]Is the Grand Inquisitor the most powerful / skilled of them all? And how do you think the Grand Inquisitor is chosen? Experience, intelligence, combat skill...?
[*]Where do you rank each individual Inquisitor so far?
[*]How many Inquisitors are there, and what determines their rank?
[/list]

Discuss below!

I doubt the new guy is>Grand Inquisitor, but I'd say he's likely at least above the Fifth Brother since the Fifth Brother is a derp.

Yes, though in the canon there seems to be less of a discrepancy between strong Jedi and weak Jedi.

[*]Is the Grand Inquisitor the most powerful / skilled of them all? And how do you think the Grand Inquisitor is chosen? Experience, intelligence, combat skill...?

I don't know; I'll probably have a more conclusive answer once we've seen the new Inquisitor in action. I think all of the things you mentioned were involved in his selection.

[*]Where do you rank each individual Inquisitor so far?

They all have their individual strengths. The Fifth Brother is definitely the most powerful physically and in the Force, the Seventh Sister is easily the best tracker and the most cunning of the bunch, and the Grand Inquisitor is the most well rounded with talents in many areas like piloting.

If you're asking me who the better duelist is between Grand and Seventh, then I'd say it's pretty evenly matched. It's pretty much a matter of technical skill and cold intelligence vs unorthodoxy and cunning.

[*]How many Inquisitors are there, and what determines their rank?

There's probably not much more than ten of them. Their "rank" is determined by the order they joined the Inquisitorius.

There's at least 13 of them if there's 1 GI, at least 7 sisters, and at least 5 brothers.

Unless it goes ---> 1st Brother, 2nd Brother, 3rd Sister, 4th Brother, 5th Brother, 6th Sister, 7th Sister, etc.

Who do you guys think each Inquisitor seen so far is comparable to as a combatant in canon and/or Legends?

Eh I still rate Legends Inquisitors as being above them, mostly because they aren't freaking streamlined and were more diverse with their powers than just mere TK.

Yeah Malorum>GI, as much awesomer as GI is

The vast majority of Inquisitors were a bit sub par imo.

Probus tesla and Malorum were very basic in their force powers

Yeah but Malorum did decently against Ferus, which is more impressive than any combative showings I've seen from the Rebels inquizzies

Unfortunately in canon there aren't many esoteric / diverse powers in general to begin with, for really anyone.

True I guess, but it's not as if they couldn't use the Inquisitors to show interesting powers. I mean the diverse powers gotta start somewhere.

I mean I'm not expecting them to like...know anything crazy, but maybe like an interesting quirk or two that separates them from one another.

It would also make the characters have to adapt and approach them in different manners.

Eh Tesla was hurling/deflecting around 5 meter steel beams and chucking Force Lighting and having Force Barrier, Force Speed, wouldn't really say those are basic...at least it being more than just TK.

Although I wasn't singling out any one Inquisitor, was kinda lumping them as a whole.

Do count jerec as an inquisitor btw?

Well considering he was one I would assume so.

He seemed to be more powerful than a basic Inquisitor though, eve by GI standards

Yes, Jerec was a High Inquisitor, iirc. Not the top spot, but one step down, and almost certainly actually stronger than the top rank one.

With a few exceptions- like Jerec- most of them were pretty crap, though.

One of the Emperor's Hands fought three, including a high ranking one, and despite three-on-one beat two of them before being stopped.

The emperor's hands were selected from the best of the Grand Inquisitors though.

And Sheev also says Emperor's Hand>Shadow Guard>Inquisitor

Obviously it makes sense that a hand would be leaps and bounds above an inquisitor.

Yeh Legends inquisitors are far more impressive than the Canon versions.

Jerec was supposedly approaching Vader in power, Brakiss was giving Master Luke an exhausting fight.

Sure there are more but that's off the top of my head.

EDIT: Oh and interrogation, according to the TFA Visual Dictionary they actually developed interrogation devices, and of course we see the GI interrogate Kanan.

So I would say there role is actually pretty similar if not the same as it was in Legends.
