Darth Desecrus, born Lian Novv, was a male Sullustan Dark Lord of the Sith and the apprentice of Darth Gean.

Biography[]

Lian Novv was born on Sullust during the middle centuries of the Great Peace of the Republic. Growing up, Novv had an intense interest in history and dedicated himself to becoming a historian, hoping to recover and preserve records that had been lost during the Republic Dark Age. Eventually, Novv's studies led him to seeking out records on the Sith, something that was discouraged by both the Galactic Republic and the Jedi Order in the wake of the New Sith Wars.

At some point after 533 BBY, Novv traveled to the Stygian Caldera and landed on the planet Thule, where he crossed paths with Darth Gean, the ruling Dark Lord of the Sith. Rather than kill Novv in order to keep the Sith's existence secret, Gean took an interest in the Sullustan when she learned that he was researching Sith artifacts. As access to many such artifacts had been lost due to the efforts of her master Darth Gravid, Gean decided to use Novv as a means to rebuild the collection of Sith knowledge that Gravid had nearly destroyed.

Upon realizing Novv to have potential in the Force, Gean took him on as her apprentice and named him Darth Desecrus.

Behind the scenes[]

Darth Desecrus's name is derived from an obscure character from the Transformers franchise. It is also based on the word "desecrate."
