Whatever Happened to Zhorrid?

So I know that if the Imperial Agent sides with Darth Jadus at the end of Chapter One, they are sent to kill Zhorrid, Jadus' daughter, one of the more intriguing people in a story where many characters fit that moniker.

She is both ally and antagonist. She is a monster and a victim. She is sympathetic (because of her upbringing by Jadus) and ... well, she is who she is.

And she basically disappears after Chapter One, even though she's nominally still in charge of the Sphere of Imperial Intelligence. She apparently does not object to its dissolution in Chapter Three, even though that would theoretically cripple her own power base. We don't seem to see her with the rest of the Dark Council at the end of Chapter Three of the Sith Warrior and Sith Inquisitior stories.

According to Wookiepedia, she actually ran Sith Intelligence before Marr replaced her with Lana Beniko. I cannot rebuke this, but I have not found anything in the game to support this position.

Elsewhere on Wookiepedia, it claims Zhorrid personally re-organized it after the Star Cabal crisis. Again, I've never seen these events subscribed to her in the actual game. In fact, we get almost nothing about Sith Intelligence between the end of the Imperial Agent story and the end of Shadow of Revan.

I like Wookiepedia, but a lot of it’s stuff is poorly sourced and referenced.

(I have to be honest with you - the idea of Zhorrid personally reorganizing anything is crazy. Her father was a monster but she is bat-shit.)

The simplest explanation for everything is that she was killed by the rest of the Dark Council sometime before the end of the Agent's story. This would be consistent with the Council's attitude towards her, and her inability to build her own power base and respect. Dark Councillors do not generally "like" each other, but they usually tolerate their fellows out of necessity. They don't do that with her.

Eventually - years later - the Sphere of Imperial Intelligence (later the Sphere of Sith Intelligence) will be merged into the Sphere of Galactic Influence in Acina's government. Darth Xarion commands that Sphere, overseeing Sith Intelligence.

But the game never gets into this. As I said, people just stop mentioning her if she even survives chapter one.  

So headcanons ! What happened to her in your stories?

Some spoilers below.

I’m replaying the Imperial Agent story and a part of me is wondering what exactly do the Siths within the Sphere of Imperial Intelligence do all day? The only Siths we see in that storyline really are a bunch of deranged Siths, Jadus (who is also not really an ally of the Empire), and Jadus’ minions.

Imperial Intelligence seemed to be almost self-sufficient. I suppose that’s why they needed to be dismantled because the Sith lost control of the institution after Jadus disappeared and never came back.

But then I remembered in the Sith Warrior storyline, we met Injaye, a Sith who was acting as a spy in the Jedi Order. How cool is that?? Hiding your dark side alliegance, and infiltrating your enemy’s organization (enemies who are force sensitive and should be able to sense you if they’re smart enough too).

Are there Sith Assassins who undergo training as Cipher agents in order to become better assassins? Well, in my headcanon there is now. And these rare Siths who choose to do so now no longer underestimate the force blind individuals.

Lana Beniko, aka Sith Goddess, aka Alliance Fashion Icon! I imagine that’s what she would wear for new Commander’s Emperor inauguration or Alliances party.:D
