Darth Acomo Rish
In a perfect and ordered galaxy, the dean of the Academy would be a proper Sith of human or true Sith blood, and that was the case up until three years ago when the previous dean died of natural, or perhaps not so natural causes. Over the next year there was vicious competition to secure the seat and a surprise to everyone Darth Acomo, at the time Lord Acomo came out on top backed by several members of the Dark Council. The togruta was born a slave and then elevated to Sith when her Force abilities manifested in her youth.
She was trained in a more traditional manner, by a single master and served as his apprentice until he died by her lightsaber. Her master gravely wounded in a duel with a Jedi had shown his weakness and ended his life, after the Jedi was dealt with. She served under the Ministry of War aiding in the expansion of the Empire before arriving on Korriban as a teacher of the martial arts and self defense. She is a renowned lightsaber duelist and tactician. Since taking over the Academy she has shifted resources to better prepare the students for battle.
She is severe and demanding and encourages her instructors to push the students to their limits and beyond. Casualty rates have risen in recent years but the results have also been promising, better trained and more self reliant Sith. Despite her success she is a target as an atypical Sith of high rank and there are many that would see her fall, and fall hard. She is an alpha predator and is always alert of threats to her position, she is also quite powerful personally and within the Sith answering only to the Dark Council. She still teaches on occasion, though she has many duties as she is responsible for the Academy and much of the infrastructure that supports it.
