Darius (Fallen Jedi)

Darius, later known as Darth Ambrosius, was a human male who survived the Great Jedi Purge and would later become apprentice to Darth Sidious.

Born on Coruscant in 34 BBY, Darius was inducted into the Jedi Order at a young age and was taught by Master Emanel. After Emanel was killed by the First Brother, Darius avenged his master by killing the Inquisitor. However the First Brother cursed Darius before he died with a strange dark side magick that placed Darius in a perpetual state of internal conflict with the dark side and himself.

Darius survived Order 66 and went into exile on the planet Arkroyd. One year after the purge, he was hunted by Kerbros, one of the Emperor's advisors, and two more inquisitors. With the assistance of Naya and Crysto, Darius was able to defeat the Imperial agents and their entire legion of clone troopers.

Eventually Darius was consumed by the curse the First Brother had placed on him and he fell to the dark side. Darth Vader found him and took him on as a secret apprentice. In 1 BBY, Vader and Darius attempted to overthrow the Emperor but Palpatine defeated them. Vader was killed and Darius was forced to wear a biomechanical suit to survive, similar to Vader. Darius became Darth Ambrosius and replaced Vader as Palpatine's apprentice.

The Emperor sent Ambrosius on many missions, including hunting for R2D2 and C3PO, killing Obi Wan Kenobi, and searching for Luke Skywalker after the destruction of the First Death Star. In 3 ABY, Ambrosius found Skywalker during the Battle of Hoth and was able to turn the young Jedi to the dark side. Ambrosius brought him before the Emperor, but Skywalker was able to regain his light-side affinity and killed Ambrosius, before being killed by the Emperor shortly afterwards. Palpatine would later replace Ambrosius with Ezra Bridger, another fallen Jedi.
