As a Human Watcher of the male persuasion, Watcher Seven served the Sith Empire's Imperial Intelligence. He belonged to a new breed of Watchers, alongside his brethren Watcher Six and Watcher Nine, a product of an advanced eugenics initiative. This program enhanced their abilities to surpass even those of Watcher Two and Watcher Five. This advantage, ironically, became a weakness when the Star Cabal set its sights on Imperial Intelligence. A concealed signal, specifically designed to impact eugenically-engineered Watchers, was embedded within a holorecording of a Cabal meeting that Cipher Nine recovered from Belsavis. This signal induced a profound coma in all Watchers present at Intelligence Headquarters, including Watcher Seven and the then-Keeper, marking the initial severe setback for the organization.
