Zhâtkûs Kressh

"With our combined might, we can crush all who oppose us!"

 was a Male Sith Pureblood Sith alive during the Old Republic Era. A descendant of Ludo Kressh, Zhâtkûs is very conservative and some say borderline obsessed with returning his family name to the glory of the old Sith empire.

Early life
Zhâtkûs is born on Ziost into a wealthy family. He is taught that the “true sith” (Sith Purebloods) are basically wiped out and the Sith Order has been diluted with aliens and those not worthy. He is introduced to the the Sith Pureblood cult, Kirjis iw Soti Kraujas, prior to being sent to Korriban.

Career
When on Korriban, he keeps his parent’s teachings in mind and during the trials he murders “impure” acolytes because they are alien in the tombs of the ancient sith, saying it was accidental or a cave in. This attracts the attention of Lord Zodûr, a Sith Pureblood on Korriban. Zodûr takes Zhâtkûs to be his apprentice, and takes him through the Rites of Initiation of Kirjis iw Soti Kraujas, which are to prove if the Sith Pureblood is worthy of being in the secretive order. After completing the first rite with ease,for the second rite he had to get an ancient artifact of his sith pureblood heritage. He goes to Rhleg and retrieves Ludo Kreesh’s warblade and returns it to his master on Korriban, who is very impressed with his progress so far. Zhâtkûs meets Ve’ora while he is arriving on Korriban and he seduces her and treats her as a play-thing to pass the time. After having a vision of her children being very powerful, he finds out her heritage and realizes that she is related to ancient Sith lords, despite her low standing. He continues to manipulate her till she is pregnant with his child, believing his children were the children he saw in the vision. He then finds out that Ve’ora gives birth to Tolahn, who looks much like his mother, much to Zhâtkûs' disappointment.He constantly belittles Tolahn; which upsets Ve'ora greatly. Ve'ora and Zhâtkûs travel to Dromund Kaas with Tolahn and unknownst to her, He is there to kill a twi'lek overseer and have him replaced with a sith pureblood one, which is the final rite of passage into the Sith Pureblood Order. After successfully killing the twi'lek overseer, he travels to Ziost and is inducted into the cult. His master, now at the rank of Darth, elevates Zhâtkûs to the title of Lord.
