As a Human Watcher agent, identified as female, Watcher Nine served Imperial Intelligence within the Sith Empire. She, along with her siblings Watcher Six and Watcher Seven, represented a new breed of Watcher. They were the culmination of an advanced eugenics initiative, resulting in abilities that surpassed even those of Watcher Two and Watcher Five. This advantage, unfortunately, turned into a weakness when the Star Cabal set its sights on Imperial Intelligence. A signal, specifically calibrated to impact eugenically enhanced Watchers, was concealed within a holorecording of a Cabal assembly. Cipher Nine recovered this recording from Belsavis. This signal induced a profound coma in all Watchers present, including Watcher Nine and the Keeper, marking the initial significant setback for the organization.
