Mythos

Mythos was a male Sith Lord of the Sith Order of Decreto during the War of Twelve Heirs.

The main instigator of the conflict, Mythos led the territorially dominant House of Mythos.

Early life as a Sith
His origins unknown, Mythos was already a fully-fledged Sith Lord when he was discovered aboard a scuttled troop carrier on the edge of Decreton space. Revived by his finders, Mythos was taken captive and transported to the planet Ni, where he willingly choose to accept a life as a Sith Lord of the Sith Order of Decreto. Mythos quickly rose through the ranks of the Sith Lords, taken up a position on the Sith Council in 3,986 BBY.

In that same year, Mythos was responsible for the connex massacre which catapulted him to the top of the Council and before the eyes of the Dark Lord of the Decreton Empire, Hekas-ni. Meeting with Hekas-ni, Mythos found an immediate dislike from Shalbacca when Mythos discreetly revealed himself coveting the position of Dark Lord. But despite this, Mythos reflected favorably upon the Dark Lord, and was granted the highly respected position of Supreme Commander of the Fleet, a position second only to that of Commander of the Home Fleet.

Supreme Commander of the Fleet
Mythos' career as Supreme Commander was, although uneventful in galactic terms, highly decorated. Mythos successfully conquered no less than twenty-six planets in the name of the Decreton Empire and introduced several revolutionary changes into the military structure, founding StarFleet Command and later influenced the creation of the Imperial Armed Forces.

Using the newly founded StarFleet Command to further his influence, Mythos closely associated himself with Saxa, who served as head of the Imperial Armed Forces; and Corae, who headed up Sith Intelligence. As the years past Mythos' influence amongst the Council grew, but in the year 3,980 BBY, found his influence beginning to wain with the promotion of Shalbacca to the Council.

Shalbacca's imposing figure, raw strength and impressive track record made him a feared opponent, and it was often left to Shalbacca and Mythos to argue the major changes in Sith government. There were many occasions where Mythos believed his authority as Supreme Commander was being undermined by the reluctance of Hekas-ni to act against his former apprentice; and the rising Setal-ni did little to temper Mythos' anger. In 3,966 BBY Shalbacca's own apprentice, Korin joined the Council, and Mythos realized that he was quickly being forced out of the Council. Reluctant to relinquish his power, Mythos began to give more funding to several economic sectors that greatly influenced many of those on the Council, including sectorial defense and advanced exploration. Feeding of these extra resources, Corae slipped into Mythos' pocket while Korin began to question her old Master's bias against Mythos. Within two years Mythos had returned to his former position of power, and was again challenging the rule of Shalbacca. But in the year 3,965 BBY things all changed.

In 3,965 BBY Hekas-ni was pronounced dead, a proclamation Mythos reacted too indifferently until Shalbacca revealed who would be the next Dark Lord – Setal-ni. After hearing this Mythos screamed his objections, but was flatly rebuked by Shalbacca. To Mythos, passing the title of Dark Lord through blood was both illegal and against the rights of the Council members, each of whom would've been entitled the chance to take the throne.

Reluctantly Mythos accepted the decision, and resorted to attempting to manipulate the new Dark Lord, but as the weeks progressed, and a new year dawned, the council broke apart.

War of Twelve Heirs
Following the example set by the Kell, Mythos founded the House of Mythos alongside Corae and the power hungry Korin. Within hours of their leaving the Council, the three Sith Lords fleets had rendezvoused and were prepared to take the throne. Leading the fleet back to the capital, Mythos attacked the capital but was soundly defeated by the defending fleets of Shalbacca, Setal-ni and Konopka; but escaped with most of his fleet intact.

Mythos was still determined to take the throne however, and realized that the early strike could have cost him dearly. Realizing that he could not hope to defeat Konopka or Shalbacca in open battle, Mythos launched an invasion of the House of Set and quickly conquered it despite news of yet another setback in the form of a defeat at Gelaas. Content to bide his time, Mythos decided that the best option would to be call in a debt from his old friend Saxa, and the House of Kell.

Personality and traits
Mythos was known throughout the Empire for his ferocious attitude and contempt for all those beneath him. He held a begrudging respect for Shalbacca and Konopka, whom he saw as worthy of his challenge to the throne, but found that respect torn to shreds when they supported Setal-ni's claim to the throne instead of challenging him.

Mythos also had a widely considered annoying trait of explaining his decisions in every detail, unless it revealed something he wished secret. He also begged constant updates on his quests, not wanting to go for much more than a day without knowing what was happening in the galaxy.
