Biography
Born on into the  clans, which had overrun most of  and purged and exterminated the majority of the other, Mercurial was peculiar even at birth — by some measure of either heritage or fate, when she was born, she possessed an innate and profound reciprocity with the. While many had to be taught and incited into the darkness, Mercurial was born with a predilection to profound darkness: so vast, in fact, that she was considered demonic even by the Nightsister elders of her clan. Eventually, the depth of her association with the Dark Side would become wounding — even though she was largely dispassionate, like, she was simply such a fundamental force of darkness that she tore the fabric of the Force presence of Dathomir, and like , would become a supermassive black hole in the Force, a wound in the Force that agonized any Force-sensitive she came in contact with.

Her caustic touch and debilitating presence earned her an immediate taboo, and she was rejected even by her parents, and many of her tribe, who, in her presence, were crucified by the mortal hole she was tearing in the Force.

Her command of the Force, however, required little tutelage — by outpouring the direct opening of the Dark Side she had within her, she was a veritable torrent of Dark Side energies, requiring little refinement, soon rivaling seniors in her clan as her parasitic connection to the Dark Side grew within her, beginning to consume and inflame her. Her sister s had no chance to compete while she was in their cohort: Mercurial earned the title of full Warrior years before her cohort, becoming the youngest to ever graduate from the title of.

A peerless warrior, she was devastating against the, whom the s were eradicating. Tearing through the Force, her very presence was incendiary to the fleeing and hiding Light Side Witches, whose life energies she consumed — much akin to or  before her. Her countenance was terrible to behold, and no Nightsister would stay within her vicinity — the darkness-possessed Mercurial would endlessly stalk Dathomir, consuming its Force energies and feeding on hapless Witches.

Acknowledged as a horrific practicer of the darkness, Mercurial was rightfully feared amongst the other Nightsisters, who feared that she might either consume them, as did, or else render a lesion in the Force so profound that 's biosphere would be eradicated and the planet would be rendered inhabitable.

Soon, a solution came — 's heard of the notorious Mercurial, and indeed, her voracious consumption of the Dark Side was felt across the galaxy by the  on  and even. soon found Mercurial as an extraordinary protégé, perfectly fit — her debilitating lesioning of the Force made her feared even amongst the, but in her, Maladi found that such a profound connection to the darkness, if shaped, could be capable of extraordinary power. She became a peerless assassin of and rogue  — her very presence was wounding to them, and she utterly consumed their life energies, cannibalizing them of their Force powers. She became the most prestigious assassin of, 's executor, traveling through the galaxy and consuming Force users at Maladi's beck and call.

Almost unanimously assured the title of Hand, spurned her for the younger  — while powerful enough to withstand Mercurial's agony-invoking presence, he was tepid about her presence, preferring others, such as  and, whose auras were not caustic and damaging to all the Sith around them.

Darth Mercurial was a Sith leader of Joint Special Operations Task Force 452 — although she largely operated apart from them, Mercurial's steadfast and sure "drinking" of hostile Jedi and Imperial Knights made her the perfect Sith to lead the task force, whose principal mission was to assassinate to senior commanders of 's.

Behind the Scenes
Darth Lilith was not-so-subtly named after Lilith, a female demoness who arises in some modern interpretations of Judaism and Christianity. Believed to have originated in Mesopotamian religions, Lilith was originally described as to "seduce men, harm pregnant women, mothers, and neonates, kill foliage, drink blood, and was a cause of disease, sickness, and death". Later, in the Bible, she is believed to be referred to as the one whose "house sinks down to death, and her course leads to the shades. All who go to her cannot return and find again the paths of life".
