Zurgharjhen

Zurgharjhen was a male Sith of the New Sith Empire.

Zurgharjhen was initially assigned to the command of Darth Relteus, who made Zurgharjhen a Sith Acolyte and took him to many battles; in at least one of these battles, Zurgharjhen engaged and defeated a Jedi in a lightsaber duel. When Relteus was defeated and killed by the forces of Valin Aresh, under the command of the Dark Vanguard, Zurgharjhen was reassigned to Darth Alecto.

Zurgharjhen chafed at the new assignment, believing Alecto to be an assassin rather than a warrior. His hostility grew over his first few days on Lisal; Alecto demoted all her new Acolytes back to dark side adepts and put them through a series of trials, some of which Zurgharjhen passed easily but others which he did not. On the third day, Zurgharjhen ignored Alecto's instruction to spar safely and injured Megaera in a duel. When Alecto pointed out his latest failure, he lost his temper and snapped at her.

Rather than chastising him at once, Alecto invited him to share his opinions. When he confessed his loathing for her and her methods, she set aside the protection of her Sith Lord anointing and allowed Zurgharjhen to challenge her to a duel. He did, but lost, and submitted to death. Alecto spared his life, only amputating one of his fingers as a reminder of the danger of pridefulness; she felt Zurgharjhen still had potential to serve despite his failings.
