QIMIR: The Acolyte
Category: Sith
Detachment: Order of Dromund Kaas
CONTEXT: THE ACOLYTE
Qimir is a deceptively complex character set in the High Republic era from the Disney+ Series- The Acolyte.
Initially appearing as a laid-back, quick-witted helpful “Stranger”, he gradually reveals a far darker and more dangerous side.
Beneath his charm, Qimir is a Force-sensitive figure connected to the Dark Side and guided by none other than Darth Plagueis himself. Operating in secrecy during a time when the Jedi believe the Sith are gone, he possesses a great dual nature—charismatic yet threatening.
His preference for manipulation and patience over open conflict represents a hidden threat: the quiet return of darkness in an era of Jedi arrogance and confidence, proving that the greatest dangers are often the ones no one sees coming.

HELMET
- The surface of the helmet is textured with several linear scratches, cracks, and irregular indentations.
- The helmet is comprised of 6 main parts with the top 4 parts arranged like overlapping plates:
- An upper front dome that covers the forehead and goes to the back of the head, there is a round rivet at the bottom angle of the dome on each side.
- A rear dome that is flushed under the upper front dome.
- A rear plate that is flush under the rear dome that flares outward.
- A front plate covering the nose and cheekbones flushed inside and underneath the front dome, the upper edge has 2 depressions to create openings for the eyes, and there is a round valve on the left cheek.
- A jaw plate that forms the bottom outline of the helmet with a recessed middle chin.
- An upper and lower row of respirators resembling “teeth” between the front and jaw plates which extends beyond the angle of the jaw plate (if viewed from underneath).
- The plates of the helmet use different shades of copper, bronze, and brown, the teeth are painted silver, and the chin painted dark gray.
- Silver welding marks are seen running on both cheeks and extending to the jaw plates, both temples, and along the front dome running upwards and across to the opposite side of the helmet with the left welding mark terminating above the left eye opening.
- There are no reflective visors covering the eye openings (black cloth/mesh as an alternative to prevent the costumer’s eyes from being seen). No balaclava is worn underneath.
GAUNTLET/VAMBRACE
- The surface of the gauntlet is very irregular depicting the Cortosis ore used to create the gauntlet.
- The gauntlet appears to enclose almost the entire left forearm as a single piece (no visible joints).
- It extends from the wrist to just below the elbow on the left forearm.
- The elbow end of the gauntlet looks irregular with a multiple ridges.
- The gauntlet uses different shades of copper, bronze, brown, and gray with metallic silver straps/pieces which are more visible on the outer side of the forearm and top side closer to the thumb.
OVERCLOAK/PONCHO
Made of 2 components: An outer and shorter capelet and a longer inner cape.
CAPELET
- Material is made of leather cowhide faux leather or similar material with a smooth finish and slight sheen.
- Capelet is formed by front and rear panels and open on the sides which shows the pattern of the undershirt (diagonal layers/folds/pleats).
- Front panel/capelet is gathered, draped around the neck and over the shoulders.
- The ends of the front panel are past where the shoulder seam would normally be located, and end about 1.5-2 inches toward the shoulder bone.
- The right end has 2 pleats and is attached to the right shoulder with snaps.
CAPE
- Material is made of the same material used for the capelet but shows the reverse side of the leather giving it a velvety texture with a worn finish (suede may be used as an alternative).
- Cape is longer, also formed by double (2 layers) front and rear panels, and open on the sides like the capelet. It is worn underneath the capelet.
- The length of the cape ends below the knees to mid-shin (this is the ideal length of a poncho).
- Cape has a ruffled appearance when worn.
- Bottom end of the cape is hemmed/lined.
UNDER TUNIC
- Material is mostly made of silk, silk blend or sateen
- Undershirt is based on a standard Gi with pleated detail (pleats folding upward) and closes left over right
- (When looking at the front) The “V” shaped collar around the neckline can be seen under the tabards.
- The sleeves are removed and frayed.
- There are at least 5 larger pleats on the back (running from the center to the side). There is a middle seam present running from top to bottom to keep the pleats in place.
- Pleats from the back of the undershirt are visible between the rear tabards.
- There are at least 5 smaller pleats on the front (running from the outer and lower sides diagonally going up).
TABBARDS
- Material is made of wool , wool blend, raw silk , silk blend or suede/reverse side of leather
- Front tabards are worn left over right, meeting in the middle and covered by the obi.
- The right tabard has 1 outer fold/pleat running down its length and a noticeable inner “fold bump”.
- The left tabard does not have folds.
- Rear tabards are slightly crossed to create more space in between, worn right over left, meeting in the middle and covered by the obi.
- Rear tabards are attached to an “X” joint:
- Comprised of 2 silver/metallic bars with a black midline spine which is likely recessed
- The 2 bars are crossed to form an “X” joint and are not attached in the middle to one another, this allows for flexibility and movement.
- The middle of the bars is slightly curving outwards with the ends most likely being flat so the material does not dig into the costumer’s back.
OBI(SASH)
- Material is made of a relief dot fabric pattern throughout the entirety of the obi in leather, faux leather, or other thick fabric
- Obi is stiff to hold its upright shape
- Obi is approximately 6 inches in height (relevant to the costumer’s height and size.)
- Upper and lower edges of the obi are likely folded inward to appear flatter and have cleaner edge.
- There are no visible clasps.
HAKAMA (PANTS)
- Material is made of cotton, linen, linen blends, silk/wool blends or polyester blends
- Hakama from the front have 6 pleats: 2 narrow pleats (from the middle), followed by 2 wider pleats, then 2 wide pleats spanning from the front to the side (no side vents).
- Hakama from the back have 2 pleats on each side. The outer pleats are immediately next to the side pleats (from the front), followed by the inner pleats. All 4 pleats appear to have similar widths.
- Bottom of the hakama is above the ankles and edges are hemmed around 1.5-2 inches from the bottom.
BOOT GAITERS/COVERS
- Material is suede or faux suede and have no visible buckles or clasps.
- Boot gaiters cover from below the knees to the area before reaching the boot’s outsoles.
- The bottom of the boot gaiters have “slits” separating the bottom part of the different panels.
- The boot gaiters are composed of a wider front panel that covers the forefoot, a slimmer rear panel that spans the area of the Achilles tendon (both of these panels are made of darker black material), and a middle panel with a lighter shade of color (maybe dark charcoal gray or another black material using a different fabric) sandwiched between the front and rear panels.
