Triad of Darkness

The Triad of Darkness was the commanding body of the Disciples of Bane during its first years. It contained three Sith lords who attempted to work together to destroy the Republic. It was later overthrown and replaced by Darth Galepius as the single head of the organisation.

History
After Galepius brought together the various Sith factions to form the Disciples of Bane, the movement was senn as very unwieldy and difficult to control. To gain better control, Galepius created the Triad to rectify this. The group was made up of himself, Darth Destru and Darth Abadon, the three most powerful Sith in the Disciples.

Although Destru emerged as the head of the Triad, it was Galepius's work behind the scenes that maintained control. He escalated the conflict between Destru and Abadon in order to allow him to gain more and more power as war against the Republic began.

The Triad eventually fell apart, with Destru attempting to attack the Republic on its own, despite Abadon's insistence that they should wait. Galepius played them off against each other and Destru had Abadon killed before he was betrayed to the Republic by Galepius. Galepius then set himself up as leader of the Disciples.
