Darth Valorius (Left) and one of his Acolytes (Right). Valorius' Acolytes know as "The Ghouls" are a group of subservient beings taught in the ways of the Dark side of the force. They are guided by the teachings of the current Sith Emperor himself. The Sith Emperor would train the Acolytes personally from time to time to test their overall knowledge of the dark side of the force. Their skills exceeds that of the Emperor's Royal guards and Inquisitors.
The Ghouls are only dispatched when the Emperor's life is in danger or according to his will. The Ghouls only follow the Emperor's commands and answers only to him. As their subservient nature wills it.
The Ghouls are comprised of 55 members with no hierarchy. They are trained for a span of 15 years until the Emperor sees one ready to become an Acolyte.
They can be in charge of a legion of troopers during an attack or battle. But most of the times they are dispatched by 4's.
A single Acolyte can take down 10 Jedi masters. And can also take down 15 Sith Warrior. Only one record of an Acolyte killing two Sith Lords who were hiding within the outer rim.
The Emperor can be accompanied by 15 to the maximum number of Acolyte there are in a mission or on a war. Currently the Acolytes are hidden on a planet called "Corpuli" located in the Outer Rim. The facility has several imperial guards and Royal guards to protect the facility. There are also workers from the empire that maintain the facility for the Acolytes.
