Darth Barad-Dur was a Sith Lord of the Third Sith Empire. His real name was Zahrin Harmon, brother of the famous Adam Harmon and uncle of the even more famous Oladam Harmon I. He served in both the Galactic Empire and SIth ranks. His last reported activities were the Sith Civil War.

Early Life
Zahrin was born five years before the Clone Wars on the planet of Naboo. During his early years, the Galaxy was torn by war. The boy grew up siding with the Jedi and Republic. He became a ravid worshopper of Anakin Skywalker and Obi-wan Kenobi, who were heroes of Adam and him.

Two Jedi
After Order 66, two jedi knights went into hiding on Naboo. The Queen of Naboo blocked several attempts to search the planet for the two Jedis. During thier stay, they discovered Zahrin to be force sensitive. They took it upon themselve to train him in the ways of the Jedi.

Finally, Darth Vader himself came to force the Queen to submit. Stormtroopers found the Jedi, and mortally wounded them during a training session. They left the dying Jedi to search for more Jedi. As they died, they made Zahrin promise to serve the true rulers of the galaxy, the populace.

Imperial Service
He joined the Galactic Empire's military, and right after the Death Star's destruction he went into action as a member of the Executor's line-officers. His time there was hard, and witnessed six officers strangled to death by Darth Vader. But, not all was bad as he became a close friend of Admiral Piett.

During the Battle of Endor, he was stationed on the the Forest Moon, and escaped capture during the bitter fighting. After he found out about Piett's death, he vowed to kill Luke Skywalker, but never was able to as the Empire shrank. He ended up serving as captain of the ISD Darth Vader stationed at Bastion, fighting pirates and smugglers in the Empire.
