Darth Mortum II

Darth Mortum II, or just Darth Mortum was a Sith Lord of the Del Glorath, and a one time Grand Admiral of the Sith Navy.

Restlessness
Ben Dar'kai, as Darth Mortum II was originally known, was born to his parents on the planet Lao'mun. There he was raised in an age of peace and free love amongst all the Shi'ido. He grew restless over time, however, and travelled far from his home world, searching for something to better himself.

Destiny Awaits
Discovering the Sith world of Del Glorath, Ben began training under the promising Darth Matas. He served under the Emperor, Darth Praxeum and excelled in his training. Finally assuming the rank of Sith Master after his training was complete, Ben travelled to caves in one of the deserts of the planet.

Vision of the Future
There Ben induced hallucinations within himself in a form of Shi'idoan meditation. He received a vision of the far future, where a Sith ruler by the name of Darth Mortum ruled the Galaxy in its dying years. Proud of the Sith and his charisma even in the face of unstoppable doom, Ben assumed the Sith mantle Darth Mortum II, and returned to the capital.

Sith Navy
Darth Mortum II assumed a position in the Sith Navy, and quickly ascended the ranks, proving himself in battle after battle against space pirates and bounty hunters. The Council finally decided that it was right to promote him to the position of Grand Admiral.

Departurse
Serving in the position for seven years, Darth Mortum II was witness to a change in government: Darth Praxeum stepped aside and Darth Matas, Mortum's old Master, became the Emperor. Deciding that perhaps the Sith Navy was not the path for him after several clashes with the Sith General, Mortum left the Empire for a time, training himself to peak physical fitness on Hoth.'

Return
Finally, twelve years later, a much more experienced Darth Mortum II returned to Del Glorath, and returned to his position of Sith Lord.

Shape-Shifter
Due to the Shi'ido's abilities to change their form at will, Darth Mortum II enjoyed confusing people by changing his appearence, even on occasion assuming the form of the Sith Emperor Darth Matas. However, his favoured form was either human or Chiss.

Personality
Darth Mortum II was usually quite lenient in the face of an order disobeyed, and would rather reward his subordinates with success, than punish with failure. Darth Mortum II had little to no sense of humor, however, although streaks of kindness did shine through in relation to certain people.

Behind the Scenes

 * Darth Mortum II is an unusual Sith Mantle for a few reasons. Although he is the first of that name, Ben took the name of Darth Mortum II, in reference to a Darth Mortum in the far future. In reality, this was the users reference to a failed forum called The Last Sith Empire, of which he was the head, with the name Darth Mortum.


 * Mortum's absence from the Empire was a retcon to explain the user's prolonged absence from the site.
