Emperor Malus

"I am the dark side Cade, you have lost, the Jedi are over, it is time for the Sith to rise again and whomever gets in my way will be destroyed."

- Darth Malphas to the defeated Cade Skywalker

The Lord Emperor, his birth name was Alexander Fel and was a Force-sensitive Human male, once a Jedi Master of the New Jedi Order. As time passed he would leave the jedi, and embrace his own dark side. Alex embraced it to such an extent, that he was granted the title Darth Malphas by the Dark Lord Darth Nihl and his former self Alex ceased to be. He destroyed his master and the Sith and crowned himself Dark Lord of the Sith and became Emperor of the new Great Sith Empire. Most even considered him the most powerful Sith in galactic history.

Early-life
Alexander Fel was the child of The Empress Marasiah Fel and imperial Knight Antares Draco, during Second Imperial Civil War his parents fell in love, but Marasiahs father Emperor Roan Fel forbidden the two from marrying each other. After the death of Darth Krayt and his Empire, Cade became aware that Marasiah was pregnant and she tried to hide it from everyone, especially Draco worried how he will react, but Cade informed him telling Marasiah he had a right to know. Draco was overjoyed at going to be a father and told Marasiah that she had nothing to worry about and told her their gonna be great parents. Born on the Empire capital Bastion and child of two strong Force-sensitives, Alex was born with an exceptionally powerful connection to the Force. His ability to wield the Force was far greater than his parents and even Cade Skywalker. The people of the Fel Empire celebrated the birth of the next heir to the throne Prince Alexander and a future champion of the Jedi, Cade amazed with the boys potential and even compared him with his ancestor the legendary Jedi Luke Skywalker. Alex as a baby traveled around with his mother alot because she couldn't bare being apart from her baby and always was under heavy guard by his fathers orders.

Kidnap Plots
When Alex was one years old, the resistance from Darth Krayt's Empire trying to gain back power plotted to kidnap the Empress's son Alex to get revenge for their defeat in the war. The resistance hired a unknown Bounty Hunter to go undercover in Marasiahs palace as security but not for the royal guard as for Draco hand picks the best and most loyal soldiers willing to risk their lives for their son. Draco felt danger through the Force, when the bounty hunter took his opportunity to kidnap the boy and surprised the guards and killed the two of them standing by the childs room, but when he entered he walked into a trap. Setup up by Draco, they tried to capture the assailant, but the bounty hunter wasn't going quietly and opened fire against Draco though the bounty hunter was outmatched and was slain by Draco's lightsaber, but the resistance had a backup plan, they only used the bounty hunter as a diversion. The real assailant was a royal guard protecting the baby, while most of the palace security was distracted with the attack on the other side of the building, the Guard protecting the Alexander snuck out ahead to the transport deck, but Marasiah sensing the deceit alerted security to follow her to the dock, but were too late and her son was gone. Alex was always upset through is captive, he realised that his mother wasn't around and being seperated from her was very hard for him. Rather than stay in hiding like the sith told them to and work from the inside the Federation, but a group called the resistance wanted to regain power as quickly as possible and believing Alex was the key to do just that. The leader of the resistance and a former Moff Konrad Rus, though he was loyal to former emperor roan fel, he believed that Dath Krayt was more worthy. Now that Alex is in his possession, but he heard of Alex's reputation known as a force prodigy, he couldn't understand what the fuss was all about, just seemed like a normal kid to him. Rus informing Alex that he would never see his mother again, cried and tapped into the force, using his mind and attacked the former moff and using his own fears against him and dominated his mind, with people glancing back at konrad acting crazy and dropping to the floor in agony, they stayed away from alex in fear of them being next.

over the next few months, Marasiah and Draco using vast resources to search the far ends of the galaxy for their son, but the search parties came up with dead ends. Marasiah was distraught without her beloved son with her, the resistance used Alex as a bargaining tool and threatened The Empress to sign her power and empire to the resistance, so they can take control of the galaxy once more. Cade however told Marasiah and Draco not to give in to the resistances demands and have to plan to get Alex back without putting the galaxy in danger in the process, but Marasiah was willing to do anything to get her son back. Konrad thought that after they gain power, they should bargain with the sith and believing that the sith will try and take back their empire, they could have Alex in exchange that the resistance stay in power and lead the new goverment.

With Konrad's plan set in motion, he made contact with sith in hiding and second in command Darth Havok to meet them on Korriban, tellin the dark lord that a he has a valuable asset in his possession but not telling the sith what it was until they meet face to face, but havok warned if they are wasting his time and discovered by the jedi he will kill the konrad. Marasiah agreed and met up with the resistance to sign the treaty to hand her empire to them or so they thought, While she went to sigh the treaty, Cade and the council combined their connection to the Force, through a unique Force power they were able to sense every Force user in the galaxy, every Force wielder had a signature and they finally traced Alex to the Zabrak homeworld Iridonia.

Cade and K'Kruhk took a special strike force to Iridonia and stormed the resistance and rescued Alex, Cade alerted Marasiah that they had her son and she ordered the Empires fleet to attack the resistance ships. The resistance destroyed and with her alex back at her side was a great victory for Federation for wiping out the last of Krayt's empire, but what they didn't know the sith were out there under the rule of the new Dark Lord of the Sith Darth Nihl.

On Naboo
At the age of four, Alex traveled to Naboo with his mother to improve political relations with the empire and allied federal planets. The empress Marasiah and the Queen of naboo Luna Zurik are some of the most respected and important figures in the galactic federation. As the two politicans were discussing business, Alex looked forward to visits to Naboo to see his friend Talina, seeing it as the only time he has fun, surrounded by guards all the time and isolated with no friends round. Talina was his only true friend. Alex knew that Talina wanted to leave the palace and go to the gardens, but felt he would be in so much trouble leaving without his mothers permission, but he liked adventure and alex knowing that his mother wouldn't let him, Talina suggested they sneak out and alex using his mind control to trick the guards into thinking they were off duty and left the palace undetected and headed to the wild jungles to play. Alex was always amazed with the landscape of the planet and especially the beautiful and wild forrests, urged Talina to show him round the forrest and wildlife, but he knew she was scared of the creatures in the trees and assured her that she was safe with him because of his exceptional power with his telepathy and to dominate minds when and if needed. As he and talina walked through the woods, they heard gun fire and ran for cover to wonder which direction it came from, alex noticed a Gungan running for his life and a group of other Gungans giving chase, by their armor they looked like they were soldiers or some kind and and opened fire at the target, alex feeling that the soldiers were being cruel and brutal,decided to intervene and pushed the gungan out of the way of the fire with a Force push, then used his power to control the soldiers minds and crushed their wills and sent them running back where they came from.

Alex came to aid the injured gungan who was wounded in the arm, but it was just a graze, The gungan shocked that the child sent the soldiers packing and thanked him for saving his life, though the gungan seemed edgy and always on alert, he was graceful towards alex and talina, saying that he owes a life debt to alex, but he said it was fine and told him that he was doing what any jedi would do and to protect the innocent from evil. Alex noticed be seemed to be in a hurry and thinking who could blame him with people wanting him dead and said goodbye to the gungan, the gungan telling alex that his life is his and hopes to repay him one day. The gungan said farewell to them both and left, but alex told him he didn't get his name and the gungan shouted to alex that he is known as "Mongo"

Alex and talina returned to the queens palace, the palace was surrounded with security and a group of gungans, they were the same armor as the gungans in the forrest and was surrounding a gungan with black and red robes, alex assumed that was the Boss,the leader of gungan people. Alex and talina managed to sneak back inside, but they were already found out they missing in the first place. Marasiah arguing with alex to never leave without her permission, saying that he is the heir to the throne and can't afford to be so careless and putting himself in danger, but alex had other plans for the future, seeing himself to be a great jedi one day. Alex learned that the gungan leader and his guards were at the palace to inform the Queen of the recent assassination attempt on his life. Alex realising the assassin was mongo, he rushed to to warn talina not to tell of what occured in the jungle, feeling that he is the reason that mongo got away and didn't want anymore blame and guilt on his shoulders.

Jedi training
"Indeed Alex is powerful Cade, the boys skills are extraordinary, i haven't seen such potential in a long time."

- K'Kruhk to Cade Skywalker commenting on Alex's unique potential

Alex under close guard of Marasiah, Alex hasnt joined other Padawans yet at the Jedi temple for he was being trained by his mother because she didnt want him out of her sight, Marasiah is very protective of her son but Alex knew he couldnt learn much from her for she is more of a politician than a Jedi but he had a lot of respect for her skills. Alex eager to learn more about the Force instead of moving around because of his mothers political life. Marasiah let her son go to the Jedi academy on Coruscant though it pained her to do so but she knew he has a greater destiny.

Being separated from his mother was very hard for him but he was also happy to be at the academy to begin his training. When he started his training many Jedi were willing to train the boy because of his natural skills but the council wanted someone powerful enough to keep the boy in check so Cade Skywalker volunteered to train him. The Jedi were aware that Alex had the ability of mind control so strong he could influence the strong minds and even look into their memories or destroy their minds, but he would never use this power cause even he knew it was too dangerous.

Alex knew he was far more powerful than the other padawans and some Jedi knights but that didn’t make him arrogant for he knew that he still had a lot to learn about the Force, but alex admired Cade above anyone else for his power and skill and for destroying Darth Krayt and the Sith. Padawans feared him but others obsessed with him but he kept to himself but he didn’t understand why, Alex thought they were jealous of his skills or being heir to a great empire. Alex joined up with his best friend fellow Padawan Talina Zurik, but she was a few years old than alex and was another promising student and the daughter of the Queen of Naboo and she could relate to him being brought up in a political enviroment. Talina was amazed with his affinity with the Force.

Alex had a thirst for knowledge he kept very well hidden from others even deceiving his master, but only Talina knew his secret because he believed that other Jedi wouldn't understand. He studied all the archives and the holocrons he was allowed access to, he wanted to study the most important holocrons locked way but the Jedi council denied they existed and Padawans believe it as a rumor, but Alex knew they existed and he could feel them calling to him but didn’t know where to look. Alex obsessed with the most famous Jedi in history wanted to learn what made them incredible Jedi so he wanted to surpass them especially his masters ancestor Luke Skywalker and to become the most powerful Jedi ever and champion of the galaxy, but knew he had a long way to go. Talina understand because she believed that if you are strong in the Force like Alex you should reach your full potential.

Cade was astounded with his progress, Alex at the age of ten, Alex has all but mastered all lightsaber forms and his knowledge of the Force was above most of the Jedi knights, but Cade knew within a few years he would be more powerful then most of the council. Alex cared for Cade like a second father but also was the only Jedi he feared in a way, also Cade cared for him but kept him in order to stop him from the dangers of the dark side. Alex was a formidable opponent in sparring and easily defeated his rivals, even defeated Jedi master Tili Qua. Alex wanted to prove himself against his master, plus everyone wanted to see the Grandmaster versus the Force prodigy.

He became frustrated not breaking down Cades defenses and lost his focus so Skywalker took advantage of this and won the dual, Cade reminded him to stay calm and clear his mind in dangerous situations in future. Talina proud that her best friend lasted for so long against the most powerful Jedi in the order and told Alex he is still very young and developing his skills, Alex smiled back telling her she was right and he knew he can still be very proud of his accomplishments.

Hunting Marasiahs assassins
"I'm so proud of you Alex, you will become a great Jedi, but don’t let your pride blind you."

- Marasiah Fel to her proud son

Now at the age of thirteen Alex was very mature for his age and with assassination attempts on the life of his mother, the Empress of the Fel empire Marahiah Fel, Alex worried for his mothers safety and asked the council to protect her but the Jedi council denied his request, but before the council could finish alex angered by their decision he lashed out at them for not protecting a important figure in the federation. Cade interrupted Alex to stay calm and told him Alex could take a break from his training to be with his mother.

Alex wanted to put his skills to the test but Cade worried that his pride will get the better of him so he didn’t go alone, Cade sent his closest ally and best friend Talina with him feeling she could help him with his mission and to look after him also to stop the attempts on his mothers life and hunt down who is responsible for the attacks.

Alex and Talina traveled to the Fel empire capital Bastion in the Outer Rim, Alex was a exceptional pilot and landed with a royal welcome by the empire for they knew him as Prince Alexander, his reputation grew over the years and his people showed amazing loyalty toward him and his family and he cared for them deeply. Empress Marasiah overjoyed to have her son back and his friend, impressed how much strong he has become in a small amount of time and glad he has a friend to look out for him, but she sensed that Talina was attracted to Alex though Talina maybe wanted to hide it or doesn't even realise it though she couldn't sense alexs feelings because he mastered to block people from reading him.

Alex and Talina accompanyed his mother to the Senate, believing that it would be a great opportunity for any assassin to strike and kill the Empress in public, but as long as he's with her they wouldn't get near their target. Alex was suspicious of everyone and was observing everybody in the senate, but didn't know who to suspect and Talina was worried that Alex was thinking of using his telepathy and assumed right though alex struggling to use it knowing it was dangerous without mastering his ability and if he concentrated to hard he could destroy their minds. Before Alex was about to use his power he sensed a dark presence nearby but Marasiah or Talina couldn't feel it and he didn't understand why, when the congress was over and heading back to his mothers palace the two royal guards were attacked and killed in a instant and Marasiah was attacked by Force lightning, but Talina repelled it with her lightsaber but she was knocked unconscious by a Force push and the assassin charged at the empress but Alex ignited his lightsaber and blocked his attack and fought on.

Alex realizing his opponent was trained in the dark arts changed his fighting style and favored Djem So form and the assassin was being pushed back and losing the fight chose to use brutal force and shocked Alex with lightning but hurt him at first and suddenly he felt no pain at all and absorbing the lightning making him only stronger. The assassin shocked at what was happening and using his anger to double his attack but Alex sent it back at him and knocked him out. Marasiah ordering security to take the prisoner back to the palace so they can interrogate him and find out who hired him or who he works for.

Curious to know where he studied the dark teachings and who he worked for, Alex knew what he had to do but Marasiah warned him not to use his mind powers. Alex thinking it was the only way focused to look in his memories but his power was to great to control and destroyed his mind and and stripped him of his power and but got a glimpse of a male Iktotchi with pure red skin with dark features giving the assassin orders to kill the Empress of the Fel Empire in the senate then everything went blank, Alex frustrated for not controlling his power.

Now believing that the Sith are still out there in the galaxy, but not knowing where or how many are there are made them a grave threat to the Jedi and the Galactic Federation. Alex alerted the jedi council of the recent events and warned that the sith might still exist somewhere in the galaxy. The council did not think the sith still exist believing that Cade destroyed Darth Krayt and the sith and told alex that the assassin was merely a hired bounty hunter and nothing more, but alex frustrated that not taking his word seriously only fueled his anger towards the council for being arrogant, which he despised and believing that what should seperate the jedi from the sith.

More power
At the age of fifteen, Alex still annoyed with the Jedi for not using their resources to hunt down the Sith and felt he was ready to take the trials, to become a jedi knight, but Cade still knowing that he still had a lot to learn about patience and don't let his pride get the better of him. Cade told alex that what he has learned for for such a young padawan was remarkable and amazed how much time he has spent to study all of the jedi archives and holocrons. Alex believing that his master is holding him back and believes that cade is afraid that he is finally stepping out of his shadow, but in reality cade was worried that his apprentice was hiding his emotions from people and his anger will get the better of him in future.

Hearing stories of the Kaiburr crystal and that it can increase your powers by a thousand times over, Alex thought if he could somehow added that power to himself, he could become the youngest Grandmaster in jedi history, believing that he is already more powerful than most of the council and with the crystals power, he could finally prove to his master that he is ready to move up the ranks and even surpass him. Alex told Talina of what he was planning and even though she was worried that he is becoming obsessed with power, she would never betray his trust and knowing that she was the only one he confined in and that made her feel special, so he went to the jedi archives and looking at some old blue prints from the days of Luke Skywalker's order, he found that their was a hidden room right behind the where the holocrons are kept.

Alex entered the secret chamber and trying to locate the crystal, but not only did he find the crystal, but also found the legendary Great Holocron that was believed to be missing. he could feel the crystals powers, but he didn't understand why the crystals power was weak, believing that he wasted his time, but wise to keep the kaiburr crystal and to study how to unlock its true power. Alex turned to the holocron and understood it contained immense knowledge and history, but didn't want to tell the council of his discovery and couldn't pass up the chance of gaining such knowledge. Alex used the force to connect his mind and the holocron and drained it into himself and was overwhelmed with its unique properties and force powers he never learned before. With his new found knowledge, he understood that to unlock the crytals true potential, he had to take it too the Temple of Pomojema on the planet Mimban. By chance Alex and Cade traveled to Mimban to keep the peace between the two dominant tribes of Mimbanites and Coways, in order to stop the conflict growing to other nearby planets. While Cade was discussing the peace treaty between the tribes, Alex wondered the jungles to locate the temple, but was attacked by a Wandrella, but Alex unconcerned with the giant worm and brought it under his control. He climbed the creature to use it it heights to locate the temple quicker, the temple was just ahead of them. He could feel the power of the crystal growing stronger, the nearer to the temple he got, but he got to the entrance he was approached by Mimbanites, but they alex didn't feel threatened by them. Alex could not understand their language, he was able to use a Force technique to rip it from their minds, while also driving Basic into their skulls in turn through a unique Force power. Alex now knew they were priests and they waited one day for the return of their precious crystal.
