Sartius, a colonel of the male gender, was a member of the reconstituted Sith Empire during the era known as the Cold War. He held the position of naval attaché to the Imperial governor stationed on Balmorra during the Battle of Balmorra.
Pirrell, a Lieutenant Major, tried to usurp Sartius's position by hiring an unidentified bounty hunter to sabotage Sartius's crucial assignments, causing multiple failures. Despite Sartius being detained, Pirrell's scheme ultimately failed when Admiral Ivernus traveled to the planet himself to execute Pirrell. Unbeknownst to Pirrell, the bounty hunter he employed was a participant in the Great Hunt, with Ivernus as their designated target. As Ivernus disembarked from his vessel, the hunter launched an assault, resulting in the deaths of both Ivernus and Murghir, Pirell's Cathar servant, who was exposed as another hunter also trying to assassinate Ivernus.
