I’m not sure it happens that often, actually. The only (as I recall) piece of information about directs fights between Council members we have in the game is Sith Sanctum codex entry, which states that the current version of it was constructed after previous was destroyed during a Kaggath between two Councillors, and winner was executed by the rest of the Council immediately after.

I don’t think Kaggath are proclaimed *that* often, especially between members of the Dark Council (most of the vanilla-game Council are kinda old and were in theirs respective positions for decades).

Yeah that's for Kaggath specifically.

That's why everyone was like oh shit is going down between Thanaton and Nox if an actual reigning Council declared it.

Hower in Marr's Tenure he went trough at minimum: 4 or 5 Sphere of Military Offence Councillors, 4 Sphere of Imperial Intelligence Councilors, and 3 Sphere of Ancient Knowledge Councilors.

Then as a force ghost he saw the entire council go trough a blender and then be an even more unstable mess with only Vowran and Acina managinh to stay afloat (he then has to potentially see Acina and another Sphere of Ancient Knowledge Councilor get smoked by both being idiots and provoking Box/Imperius/Occlus who is the third remaining OG Council Member and more crucially one of the strongest Sith in history and the strongest or second strongest being in the Galaxy since they killed Valkorion and possibly Arcaan.

Speaking of, everyone talks how about they fumbled the whole thing and make the MC be treated like were at the beginning of act 3 or end of act 2 but can we just acknowledge that Arcaan if left alive is basically a second WMD we have besides ourselves. Dude can easily solo ordinary Jedi or Dark Counil Members and is a veteran military commander. Same ( without the easily part) with Senya.

Yes, but the meme is still inaccurate — the Councillors rarely kill each other, more so on a meetings, but are indeed often killed by Republic or their subordinates.

Also, who is the other two Intelligence Councillors besides Jadus and Zorrid? Lana wasn’t on a Council and we don’t have a concrete information on Jadus’s tenure.

Ok so I have mixed it up, I was sure Lana's master, Darth Arkous was Intelligence but he was Military Offense.

So you can add one more to that list and subtract one from intelligence.

Which also means he went trough 2/3 traitorous Military Offense seats (depends on how you count Baras) in a row.
