Xanous Skywalker

""Soon enough, you will stop denying the truth of so very many things. And you will understand that I am not a traitor, but a visionary! Fear leads to anger, anger leads to hate, hatred leads to suffering. But what the Jedi failed to teach you, what I have learned, is how to persevere, to pass through suffering, and achieve ultimate power!""

- Xanous "Everything is proceeding as I have foreseen."

- Xanous as Emperor Xanous is a powerful  the political leader of the of the aristocratic house of the Skywalker he was the heir to vast wealth and the noble title of Count. Xanous was taken by the Jedi Order as a child through that he and his family was almost murdered through Galactic Empire As a child, Xanous was discovered by  his uncle Jedi Master Count Dooku of the Jedi Order as having Force potential. brought him to the Order for training.Yoda, a Jedi Councilmember, maintained an interest in the young Skywalker and took him as Padawan  of Dooku sometime before Clone Wars

Early life
Born to James Skywalker and Eve Sendor, Xanous grew up knowing he was destined for greatness. Losing his family at the age of 10 only further drove his determination to achieve his dreams and become the greatest Jedi Knight that ever lived. While his uncle Count Dooku were training him he was quick learner

The ideal Jedi
Kalon Soral quickly became what those on the Jedi Council saw as an ideal student. Charming and intelligent, he rose to the rank of Jedi Knight before any of his other peers save for Revan, who was knighted just a few days earlier. Many believed it was only a matter of time before he became a Master.

Those who knew Soral, however, were not so pleased. Many of his peers such as and  disliked Soral because of his enormous ego and boastful attitude. Even his master, Hazar Bailum, frowned upon his quick ascension to knighthood, seeing him unfit to carry the duties of a Jedi Knight. Bailum was outvoted by the rest of the Council however and it was the word of Grand Master that proved final. As far as anyone was concerned, Soral represented the ideal future of the Jedi Order -- that is, until the Mandalorian Wars broke out.

The Mandalorian Wars
When the Mandalorian Neo-Crusaders began their attacks on the Outer Rim Territories, Soral's fellow Jedi Knight Revan advocated for intervention. When the High Council refused him, Revan started a movement of Jedi that became known as Revanchists.

One by one Soral's contemporaries joined this movement while he stood by and debated over whether to join them. On the one hand, he wanted to bring justice to the Mandalorian invaders, but on the other he didn't want to lose his favor with the Jedi Council. It wasn't until Nova Azulon, a female Jedi whom he was in love with, joined Revan's cause that he did the same.

Throughout the, Soral frequently butted heads with his fellow Revanchists, particularly Surik and Malak, both who held prominent positions among the Jedi Crusaders and served as Revan's lieutenants. More than once Soral tried to earn his place at Revan's side, but was refused because of his aggressive behavior. For most of the war, he was mainly relegated to leading grounds forces alongside.

In 3960 BBY, the Revanchists made their final push against the Mandalorians. Deploying a Republic fleet at, the Jedi and the Mandalorians made their last stand. Soral was placed under the command of General Meetra Surik -- much to both their chagrin -- and he helped coordinate the battle above the planet. In the end, the Mandalorians were defeated with the death of at Revan's hands and Malachor V was fractured by the use of the.

After the battle, Soral returned to Coruscant feeling hollow. Avoiding contact with the Jedi Council, he visited his mother at her apartment, only to find her missing, without leaving a note or any indication to where she had vanished to. Left without a family and a purpose, Soral boded his time until he heard again from Revan, who had since formed a Sith Empire and become Dark Lord of the Sith. Without a second thought, Soral left Coruscant for good and joined his old friend's order.

Marauder and Warlord
Attaining the rank of Sith, Soral went on to fight in the against the Jedi Order he had once been a part of. At some point during the war, he encountered his former master Hazar Bailum on. Bailum attempted to convince his erstwhile apprentice to turn away from the darkness, but Soral refused, telling the old Jedi Master that the Sith was the only life for him. He then fought and swiftly slayed Bailum without any hesitation.

Having wizened from his time with the Revanchists, Soral decided to bide his time rather than attempt at usurping either Darth Revan or his successor Darth Malak at any point during the war, knowing both would prove stronger than him. When Malak fell at the hands of a redeemed Revan, the Sith Empire collapsed and broke into numerous factions on. Soral was quick to claim leadership of one of these factions and became a prominent warlord in the early days of the, ruling alongside his lover Nova Azulon.

Soral's reign proved to be short-lived however. At the height of the civil war, Revan -- now a Jedi once more rather than a Sith -- returned to Korriban with a Jedi strike force and drove the Sith off Korriban. While most of the warlords fled, Soral stood his ground and confronted Revan personally. The former Dark Lord of the Sith gave Soral the chance to surrender. When the warlord rebuffed him, Revan ignited his blade in preparation for a fight. In response, Soral's lover Nova attacked the Prodigal Knight only to be accidentally slayed by him. Angered by this, Soral attacked Revan and the two former friends clashed lightsabers. While nearly equal in skill, Revan proved to be the stronger combatant and swiftly defeated Soral. Revan then gave his old friend the chance again to surrender but Soral refused, imploring the former Sith to kill him. Revan declined to give him the satisfaction of giving into the dark side once again and instead walked away from his fallen friend. Without his army to command, Soral soon left Korriban and headed into exile.

Becoming Vorath
Following his disgraceful defeat, Soral decided to wait out the rest of the Sith Civil War's course. From the ashes of the Darth Revan's Empire rose the and with them came the. Soral remained an observer as the Sith Lords tore themselves apart before being summarily defeated by his former compatriot Meetra Surik.

Once the Triumvirate had fell, Soral returned to Malachor V, where he had begun his descent. To his surprise, the planet had been destroyed -- a result of the Mass Shadow Generator being used once again. Disappointed with this discovery, Soral had been about to leave the system when he heard a voice speak in his mind.

The voice belonged to the spirit of a Sith Lord named Darth Trayus, whose spirit had been sealed within the core of the Trayus Academy on Malachor. Now that the planet was destroyed, the ancient Dark Lord of the Sith was now free. Seeing potential in the fallen Jedi, Trayus offered to make Soral his apprentice, to which Soral agreed. Adopting the name "Darth Vorath", the newly-christened Lord of the Sith made for the Unknown Regions, intent on becoming respected once again.

Forced exile
Darth Vorath traveled across the galaxy in search of scattered remnants of Revan's empire, recruiting Dark Jedi and ex-Republic military officers. In time he had gathered a army and was prepared to make his move against the Jedi. However, before he could launch his attack, he was confronted by another Sith, who introduced himself as Lord Vidius. A member of the thought-extinct Sith race, Vidius claimed to belong to another ruled by the mysterious.

The Sith Emperor saw Vorath as a potential obstacle to his plans and sent Vidius to give the novice Dark Lord two options: either join the Sith Emperor and merge forces or be destroyed. Having stood in the shadows of others for so long, Vorath refused to join the Sith Emperor and prepared himself to fight Vidius. Knowing Vorath would be no match for the other Sith, the spirit of Darth Trayus decided to intervene and possessed Vidius, buying Vorath enough time to escape. Leaving his army behind, Vorath retreated to Wild Space.

Coming upon an unidentified desolate world, Vorath settled on the planet and decided to set up his base of operations. While exploring the barren world, he came upon an, a stasis casket used by the Sith. The capsule contained the slumbering body of an ancient Sith Lord and was guarded by a, who attacked Vorath. Defeating the Talortai, Vorath broke into the capsule and killed the comatose Sith within. Seeing him to be the stronger Sith, the Talortai pledged loyalty to Vorath, who decided to make him his acolyte.

Not wishing to risk losing his life to the so-called "true" Sith Empire, Vorath decided to bide his time once more. Using the oubliette to preserve his life, Vorath waited out the rise and fall of numerous Sith Empires, only coming out at irregular intervals to plan and prepare for his eventual rise.

Preparations
Over the next three thousand years, Darth Vorath prepared for his return. Laying low during the reign of the Sith Emperor, he came out of his hiatus at some point during the to scour Sith tombs across the galaxy. When wiped out the, Vorath returned to hibernation, tasking agents he had recruited to monitor the activities of the.

Around 132 BBY, a former Jedi Master by the name of Tolrus Rawn arrived on Vorath's planet and defeated his Talortai guardian. Vorath saw potential in the Twi'lek and took him in as his first Sith apprentice, naming him Darth Scythe. He then tasked Scythe in gathering resources for his order, as well as to oversee the Banite Sith and reawaken him when or if they succeeded.

Over a century later, the lineage of Bane did indeed succeed when took over the Republic and reformed into the Galactic Empire. While this did put a delay to Vorath's plans, he simply saw it as a momentary setback and carried on with his scheme, doing well to lay low so that neither Sidious nor his apprentice noticed them.

A year after the end of the Clone Wars, Vorath managed to get his hands on a sample of Anakin Skywalker's DNA. He used this to create a clone of the Chosen One, planning to use him in case Sidious found out about his operations and sent Vader after him. Together with the Zabrak Darth Ravage, Darth Nemesis would serve as one of Vorath's top enforcers.

In 4 ABY, over twenty years after the Empire's ascension, Darth Sidious and his apprentice were both vanquished at the, leaving a power vacancy in both the Empire and the Sith. Vorath saw this as a massive window of opportunity and made his move.

Manipulating the Empire
In 5 ABY, Vorath launched his plan. On the secret Imperial throne world of Byss, he found a cache of clone bodies created by Palpatine for emergency use. Using Sith alchemy to make sure the soul of Sidious would be unable to possess any of these bodies, Vorath released one of these clones and convinced them that they were in fact the real Palpatine.

The following year, Grand Admiral discovered the clone Sidious and the "reborn" Palpatine assumed command of Thrawn's Imperial Army, declaring it the Dark Empire. This was all in fact part of a ploy of Vorath's to weed out Palpatine's loyalists so that he could eventually eliminate them and prevent any frivolous uprisings from breaking out. To monitor the Dark Empire's activities, Vorath implemented his ally Atha Prime to influence the clone Emperor and drive him to fulfill Vorath's goals.While the Dark Empire gathered under his watch, Darth Vorath came across a young Jedi, who was apprenticed to, the first of the New Jedi Order. This boy, Toah Jarsan, was the son of Aron Jarsan, a member of the underground cult. Aron had implanted false memories into his son's mind, making Toah think he was the son of Revan. Unbeknownst to Vorath, another Revanite member who had infiltrated his Sith Order had also planted false memories into the Dark Lord, leading the Dark Lord to also believe this and thus develop a vendetta towards Toah Jarsan, still bitter over what Revan had done to him on Korriban three thousand years ago.

Four years after forming the Dark Empire, the clone Palpatine made his move against the New Republic, while Vorath monitored from afar. The reborn Emperor attempted to turn Luke Skywalker to the dark side for Vorath's service but was intervened by the spirits of Skywalker's father and masters. The following year, Palpatine launched an assault on Coruscant. Just as Vorath and Atha Prime had predicted, the more straight-minded Thrawn saw the flaw in this plan and ordered the fleet to retreat. Those who were loyal to Palpatine stayed while those who weren't retreated with Thrawn to Dromund Kaas.

The battle proved to be a failure and the surviving fleet, now only a handful of starships, retreated to Byss. There Vorath confronted the clone Palpatine and executed him, forcing the rest of the Dark Empire to fall back to Bastion. Vorath allowed them to flee, deeming them no longer a threat. In the meantime, he returned to Dromund Kaas, where he would begin building his new empire and prepare for his ascension.

Building an Empire
Over the next fourteen years, Darth Vorath continued making the last few preparations for his attack on the New Republic. On Dromund Kaas, he instated Espaa Valorum, scion of, as puppet leader of his Crimson Empire to oversee operations while he and his Sith dealt with other matters.

As arrogant as he was, Vorath was not foolish enough to forget his own mortality. Knowing that he could possibly by vanquished, he stored his memories and personality onto a Rakatan device known as the and entrusted it to Atha Prime. At the same time, he created a clone of himself to father a child with the Dark Jedi, planning on using the mindspear on the resulting child to create another avatar of himself should his original body be destroyed.

In 24 ABY, Vorath made contact with the. Meeting with on, he convinced the Yuuzhan Vong to postpone their invasion so that he could enact his plan. Simultaneously, he had his Sith infiltrate Anor's ship and retrieve the captive. Upon meeting Hett, he offered the former Jedi to join his order. Hett refused, expressing his desire to form his own and become Dark Lord of the Sith as Darth Krayt. Disappointed with the rejection but not wishing to be rid of Hett just yet, he had the fallen Jedi encased within his oubliette and left him behind on his planet.

Shortly after dealing with Krayt, Vorath traveled to the Outer Rim world of Damosus, where his "son" Varon was. Finding and befriending the young boy, Vorath had Varon kill his brother and uncle before taking him to Dromund Kaas, where he was placed under the tutelage of Roon Altor.

By 25 ABY, Darth Vorath finally had almost everything he needed to execute his plan. All he needed was one last card for him to play: the enchanted Armor of Valtheran. Traveling to, he confronted and slayed the "Immortal God-King" , who then led him to , where the spirit of gave him the armor. After eradicating both Sith spirits, Vorath then returned to Dromund Kaas, where he revealed himself and his Order to the New Republic. With the Empire under his control and the Armor of Valtheran to make him virtually unstoppable, Vorath was at last ready to take his revenge.

Personality and traits
Even as a Jedi,he was covetous of knowledge and haughty in demeanor. his master built in him a deep love of learning, telling him that answers came only to those who sought them most devotedly. This developed into an association of knowledge with power, causing Jerec to pursue knowledge—and power—even more passionately. That passion burned so brightly that it pushed Xanous beyond the bounds of the Jedi Order; after he attained Jedi Mastery, he felt that he had achieved as much knowledge as he could with the Jedi after it he learned a something that's shock him Palpatine was murdered his uncle through Vader he killed a Count Dooku  so he was trying to get more closer to Empire to become one of their senator and in future a Supreme Chancellor and after it a Galactic Emperor

Xanous was ambitious as well, building a cadre of darksiders when he were looking a vengeance on Palpatine

Lightsaber
As a Jedi, Kyle wielded a single-bladed lightsaber that contained a green crystal. This was the Jedi weapon that she used on Galidraan to kill twenty seasoned warriors during the Jedi Order's confrontation with the True Mandalorians. After his fall to the dark side of the Force, Xanous created two identical red bladed lightsabers that contained a lightsaber crystal synthetic crystal. Both sabers were built with a lightsaber curved-hilt second lightsaber was similar to Komari Vosa Lightsaber and first one reflecting his design to famous  Jedi Master's Dooku Lightsaber.
