The Viceroy Exim Panshard mask represented a relic of the ancient Sith tradition, an artifact of considerable age. Constructed from polished meteoritic metal, its surface displayed numerous small, hammered indentations. The eyes were crafted from black glass, while the facial features were notably absent of both mouth and nose; in place of the mouth, a row of dark rivets was present. Yupe Tashu, who served as an adviser to the Galactic Emperor Palpatine and later obtained the artifact, claimed that the mask held the agonized cries of one hundred innocent individuals, victims of the viceroy's cruel enjoyment. Ultimately, Tashu passed the mask into the care of Kiza, a member of the Acolytes of the Beyond.
