Darth Erebus

"I am the present, the past, and the future. Time is a puppet, and I am the puppeteer."

- Darth Erebus

Darth Erebus, the “Lord of Time”, born Slaadar Nalls on Sevetta in 1030 BBY, was an immensely powerful Polydroxol Dark Lord of the Sith. His unique power to control time granted him virtual invincibility. Cunning and ruthless, the Sith Lord twice waged war against the Republic. He was a master of treachery, gaining power through deception and betrayal. His powers were unmatchable, and he was one of the most successful Dark Lords of all time. At a point in his life, he completely wiped out the Jedi Order, and took the mantle of Sith Ruler of the Galaxy. However, a surviving Jedi Knight managed to turn Erebus to the Light Side, and he thus recreated the Jedi Order with his Time powers.

Early Life
"There’s somethin’ bout’ this here boy…I can’t put mah finger on it exactly, but…I have a feelin’ he’s one day gonna make us proud. Either that, or he’ll make us utterly disgusted. He’s got some sorta’ power, ah tell ya. Let’s just hope he uses it for good."

- Theodore Nalls

Slaadar Nalls, born on Sevetta in the year 1030 BBY to Theodore and Celia Nalls, was a Force-attuned Polydroxol who was the youngest of three boys, the others named Crull, the oldest, and Zorraq. Slaadar’s parents were proud, they knew that one day he would be a powerful Jedi under the watchful eye of the Republic. In 1028 BBY, a Jedi did come to recruit the boy, an unknown Abyssin Jedi Master. Theodore, though, did not recognize the one-eyed creature to be a Jedi, thinking that all Jedi would be valiant and handsome, unlike this Abyssin brute. Theodore shot the Jedi straight through the chest just as he was nearing their house, yelling, “Trespasser!” The master gave a cry of anguish, and then fell to the ground. But as the Polydroxol neared the intruder, he finally identified the Cyclops to be a Jedi. He then realized that the Jedi Order, after noticing the disappearance, would begin to investigate. If they found out that he was a murderer, he would be arrested for sure. So he decided to back into the shadows, and never tell his son about his powers. Although he knew that Slaadar would find out anyway, he wanted to hide it from him as long as possible, thinking that the only thing it would bring the young boy was pain and suffering. Indeed, the Jedi came once again in 1017 BBY; only this time there were four of them, the most notable one being Master Zor Vlahu. However, all they found was a boarded-up shack, deprived of any life, much less any Force-sensitive life. They also found the lifeless corpse of what they assumed was once a Jedi, thoughtlessly decomposing in the back yard. They left disappointed at their failure. The family had, in fact, in fear of being caught by the Jedi, moved to the world Fahul, where they could make a peaceful settlement, hidden from the all-seeing eyes of the Republic. They found the native inhabitants to be friendly, a diplomatic species called Glurs. They remained in secrecy for the rest of their lives, but not Slaadar. He got a career as a Bounty Hunter at the age of sixteen in 1015 BBY, despite his parents’ many protests. He was however, very successful, becoming one of the top five most renowned Bounty Hunters in the galaxy, and was able to support his families’ rapidly declining credits.

The Assassination of Eliana
"I gotta say, the man's a natural."

- Glem Forbaa

Glem Forbaa, a Drach’nam smuggler with a mutual grudge against the Jedi, particularly one named Eliana, had hired Slaadar, hearing interestedly of the Hunter’s accomplishments, to track down the Defel Jedi Knight and kill her. But this was harder than it may seem. Slaadar had to slip unnoticed into the Jedi Temple on Coruscant, which was a challenge in itself, considering the Temples massive amount of guards. Then, there was the prospect of actually locating the Jedi Knight. Next, he would have to kill her, and Jedi weren’t exactly known for being weak fighters. And finally he would have to escape. All in all, it made Slaadar begin to think that he should just quit being a Bounty Hunter. But after a few days of careful thinking, he had devised a plan. Being a Polydroxol, he was able to shapeshift, a tool he would use to sneak past the guards, as he would change his form to make himself look like a Jedi. He would stay in the form, and search the Temple inside out until he found her. And then, when he made sure there were no witnesses, he would shoot her while her back was turned. He would subsequently hightail it to the nearest window, climb out, and run for his Persuer-class enforcement ship, Crossbow.

The plan went exceedingly well, as it resulted in Eliana’s death, but not completely as Slaadar had planned. There had been a witness, a Jedi named Chayka, who had remained in the shadows, suspicious of the Polydroxol’s actions, and had observed the assassination with his own horrified eyes. He reported to the Council immediately, and it was decided that this Bounty Hunter, whoever or whatever he was, had to be destroyed.
