- Model: Heavily modified C7-A7 Guard Droid
- Appearance: There is little left of Emissary's original body, as with time most parts had to be switched out to keep him functional, which gives him a very skeletal grey, silver and gold frame and many of his systems can be seen openly.

To secure his body from environmental damage, he normally shrouded himself in a simple black cloak.

- Personality: Despite being build as a Droid for combat, and having killed numerous people, Emissary holds a surprisingly high moral compass. He sees himself as an environmentalist, holding a high respect for animals and nature. Many have remarked that he has a cold calm, that sometimes comes us as unnerving to others. He is not much of a talker, preferring to rather stay silent and observe when possible, but when engaged in a conversation he often ends up babbling over everything on his mind without any regard for the actual topic. Another dominate trait is his curiosity, often seeking out new worlds to explore.
- Combat Function:
Most of the time Emissary merely serves as the chief engineer of the Eldricht and does not partake in direct combat. Yet on occasions the Droid is send out to deliver a message, not just with words but with a rifle. He is proficient with most firearms commonly found in the galaxy, as well as with explosives. He prefers to engage his target in long to medium range, where he profits most from the advantages that come from being a droid. This advantages include high precision targeting and area scanning with the number of sensors build into him. In addition he hold a number of weapons build into his body, which can be used to confuse and surprise his opponents should he be forced to meet an enemy in close range. He is a skilled tracker, and often hunts his targets for multiple days without the need to sleep or eat, which allows him to slowly drain them.
Strenghts:
-Tinkering: During his years in the field Emissary's body was under a lot of stress, which lead to him suffering from malfunctions more than once. Due to that he learned to repair himself with anything he could get his hands on, which lead to him gaining a advanced understanding for the creation and alteration of Technology.
-Combat programming: Years of experience combined with several additonal sensors, data pack and software have made Emissary a very adept fighter. High precision, area awareness and split second decisions are some of the many skills that he posses.
Weaknesses:
-High Maintenance: His body is highly experimental and modified, as well as being kept together with a number of makeshift repairs which forces him to keep his body in check constantly to make sure that it remains functional. This also makes him rather vulnerable to EMP and similar methods.
Build in the times of the Cold War, Emissary never saw much of the age that created him. Only turned on once to test his functions, Emissary never saw use until over a millennia later, when scavengers stumbled over the semi functional droid. Brought to Nar Shaddaa the droid was quickly repaired and sold to a low level street gang where his life truly began. At the start the, back then still nameless, droid was used for simple and dreadful labor for the gang, carrying crates and cargo around, make simple repairs and serve his masters. Only when the gangs hideout was under attack the combat programming inside of him reawaken, fighting of the attackers.
Yet his owners never were thankful, seeing him as their property and not as a person. Despite this his memory was never wiped, not because they cared but because they didn't even cared enough to keep him functional. With time they began to deploy him when expecting a fire fight, rather risking the droid than their own lives. For three years he contained his work as their slave, without ever thinking about leaving. Despite his dislike for his work and his owners he was aware that a masterless droid had little place in the galaxy. Then the day came where he was set free. In a conflict with their rivals, his owners were all gunned down over the course of one day, leaving him to roam the galaxy on his own.
Another year passed by, in which he began to explore the galaxy, seeking out the peace and solitude of edges of the known universe, but with time even he felt the need to surrounded himself with others. In a rundown bar far away from the socialized core he found what he searched for, when one of the other guests told him about a city on Malachor V, a city of free Droids called Firewall.
In the year after his arrival in the free cities, he slowly build a reputation as a bounty hunter which one day drew the attention of the Sith Lord that controls the cities. Darth Abyss offered him a position, pay, a home and a title: Emissary. From that day on he became the sith lords personal bounty hunter and Emissary, both for violent and non violent operations.
After Malachor fell into the hands of the Sith Empire, and with it his home, the droid turned to the Sith Lord for help. Searching for a new home, he finally found it on board of Abyss' flagship where he makes sure all systems are running. The main reason for why he decided to stay in the service of the Sith Lord was a spark of friendship with Abyss' A.I. Glory.
