[@Alfhedil] I'm interested in making a member of the Shadow Council - is there anything I should know about them? Specific things I'm curious about is their code, organization (if it's of importance), typical duties, stuff like that. 

Edit: Also, do they have ever make public appearances or lead public/secret 'civilian' lives, or are they entirely seperate?

They actually have no code beyond serving the Emperor and the Empire, as early on it was seen that the Jedi Code interfered a bit with their efforts to keep the peace at times. Some decided that it wasn't the way and left for the Enclaves or the Green Jedi, but a majority remained with the Shadow Council. Think of them as an expanded Inquisitorius from Canon, except with more civil duties that involve going around and interrogating civilians, reprogramming people with the force and all around being pretty much Dark Jedi in all but name. A majority of them that are just acolytes would probably have the ability to have a more civilian life, but pretty much once they become a knight within the order, they spend most their time with their duties for the Shadow Council in the various stations and bases around the Empire.
