Ratius Pron

Ratius "Validus" Pron, or Darth Validus, was a Lord and councilmen of the Sith Empire of Dol Glorath. Validus was born to Ei Pron and Rantion Pron in the lower levels of Coruscant in 50 ABY. He grew up poor and alone. Then, he joined the Jedi after his parents insisted for a better life. He grew up a normal boy and was destined as a powerful Jedi. He defected to the Sith Dol Glorath Empire at the age of 19. There, he learned the Dark Side and became twice as powerful as he would have with the Jedi.

Validus was skilled in the lightsaber forms of Makashi, Juyo, and Ataru. Makashi and Ataru were his mastered skills and Juyo was his expert form. Validus used many other forms, as any Sith does, but he mostly used the said three. He used a single-bladed purple lightsaber and a double-bladed Sith Tremor sword that was one of the most powerful non-lightsaber weapons in the Galaxy.

Validus is the former Grand Admiral and Grandmaster of the Blades. He was exiled from the Dol Glorath Empire while it was under the rule of Emperor Dracule. He had been charged with false accusations of treason; he was subesquently exiled under unjust terms. Then, he returned and found out that his best friend, Darth Praxeum, has become the Emperor. He founded a new order similar to the Hands of Palpatine's Galactic Empire: The Blades. After several months, he become the new Supreme Commander of the military after Praxeum stepped down and the former Supreme Commander Validus became Emperor.
