"I…I'm so tired. All these years, I've worked so hard. He promised me…promised me…" "Evil lies. It is what it does." "I…I will be free. Soon. We are so close. So very, very close. And when we are done, I will be free."

Biography
The Coronet City revolution
"Vader lives. And so do you. Tell everyone the Acolytes are coming, doll."
―KizaKiza was bornto a lowborn familyof Pantoran exiles on Corelliawhere she lived in the impoverished districts of Coronet City on the planet. Throughout her life, Kiza harbored rage at her perceived "oppressors": the peace officers who harassed her, the chits-and-debits office that pursued her family's debts, and the highborn Corellians who looked down on her lowborn origins. During her adolescence, Kiza began experiencing Force visions. Following the Battle of Endor, she was recruited by a man—Yupe Tashu, formerly an adviser to the late Galactic Emperor Sheev Palpatine—from the Acolytes of the Beyond, a cult made up of non-Force-sensitive individuals who revered the Sith and the dark side of the Force.Tashu may have implanted Kiza's Force visions using a Sith artifact.As she rose through the ranks, Kiza first tagged walls with the Darth Vader mask sigil and the warning "VADER LIVES." She also stole credits and tithed them to the cause. Kiza also scouted locations for dead-drops for safe meetings.She formed a sister-like bond with fellow acolyte Komat.In the months following the Battle of Endor, Kiza developed romantic feelings for a youth named Remi, who shared her passion for the dark side. Before the Coronet City revolution, the Acolytes assigned Kiza to infiltrate the local Peace and Security station. They devised a false identity that enabled her to pose as a secretary.During the Coronet City revolution, Kiza killed several Corellian peace officers with a blaster. When the detective Erno demanded to know what was happening, she told him she was no longer his doll.Meanwhile, Remi retrieved a lightsaber from the archives beneath the station. Before Erno could subdue Kiza, Remi severed his blaster hand with the lightsaber. Kiza then clubbed Erno over the head and told him that Vader lived. She spared his life so he could warn the others that the Acolytes were coming.Attack on the Devaron outpost
"This is a revolution. This is the revenge of the darkness. This is oblivion."
―KizaPrior to the Battle of Jakku,Kiza, Komat,and their fellow Acolytes regrouped on the Colonies world of Devaron. They participated in an attack against a New Republic outpost in the Karatokai Mountains. This assault formed part of a coordinated series of attacks on New Republic outposts across the galaxy. Tashu led her cell group,who would ultimately reveal himself as the Acolytes' true leader.During that time, Kiza began to doubt whether she was as strong as Remi, who had become obsessed with the lightsaber he had acquired on Corellia.After communing with the spirits of fallen Sith, Tashu gave Kiza the mask of Viceroy Exim Panshard. When Remi expressed jealousy and demanded the mask, Tashu reprimanded him for angering the specters. As punishment, he confiscated Remi's lightsaber and gave it to Kiza. The Acolytes then launched a surprise assault on the New Republic outpost. During the attack, Kiza struck down several New Republic personnel with her lightsaber, including slicing the legs off a fleeing woman.Kiza also permitted the mask's dark side influence to consume her mind and body,with Panshard's voice, still clinging to life, speaking to her.Remi used the chaos to try to reclaim his lightsaber. He managed to knock Kiza down, making her drop her lightsaber. As she struggled with Remi, Kiza found the blade and pressed its unignited form against his temple. She then ignited it through his skull, killing him. After readjusting her mask, Kiza returned to the attack on the New Republic outpost, now completely consumed by the dark side.Komat realized that her friend had changed, and both she and Kiza believed that the corrupted Acolyte had killed Tashu.Serving a long dead Sith
