[1] At first, the Emperor appeared in public often and dictated much of the Empire's policies and actions, but over time he began to appear less and less. Marr explained that the new Tenebrae only knew of his past deeds from the memories and impressions of Satele and her students, but had gained none of the wisdom from those experiences. As a child, he was a cruel ruler, massacring hundreds simply to sate his hunger for anguish. 12.20.2018 Commemorate #SWTOR7 with the return of Darth Malgus in Game Update 5.10: Jedi Under Siege, a deadly new chapter in the ongoing battle for the fate of the galaxy. As hostilities resumed, Dark Councillor Darth Baras lured the Emperor to the planet Voss, trapping him in the domain of the dark side entity Sel-Makor until he was rescued by the second Emperor's Wrath. Finally, the Commander reached the center of the mindscape, a recreation of the Jedi Temple on Tython, and encountered Satele within. Affiliation(s) Revan, Scourge, Surik, and T3-M4 infiltrated the Imperial Citadel and fought their way past the Imperial Guard, facing the Emperor himself in his throne room. A splinter of the blade was left in Renge's body after the Emperor ordered the healing of his wounds, and the former Executioner was then cast into the Dark Temple as the ultimate punishment. Over the course of the next four years, Tenebrae's influence and reputation grew as he conquered neighboring villages and raised legions of followers. Many of history's greatest champions, including the Outlander and Revan, and the souls of all those ever wronged by Tenebrae, joined together within Shan's mindscape and destroyed him once and for all. The only things that survived Vitiate's hunger were the Monoliths,[119] a new breed of Sithspawn that Vitiate created using dark side energy itself rather than by manipulating existing creatures. Raving that "a god has no family", and that without him, they were nothing, Valkorion rose to strike at the Outlander, only to be immobilized by Senya and their children. Died [41] When the Emperor learned that the former Dark Councilor Sajar—now the Padawan of Jedi Master Tol Braga—was on the planet Quesh, the Emperor dispatched his Wrath to capture Sajar. The Emperor was seemingly unconcerned when the Hero of Tython managed to foil his plans across the galaxy. [35], Another one of the Emperor's experiments in the Dark Temple led to the creation of the Ravager, a device that consumed its victims' minds and forced them to reveal their greatest secrets as they died. With her serene and considerate manner, Lana Beniko might be mistaken for a Jedi. When the skirmish ended, Valkorion showed disappointment on the Outlander's performance and felt a disturbance in the Force. [73] The Treaty forced the Republic to immediately withdraw all of its military forces from battlefields across the galaxy and redrew the galactic boundaries, effectively granting the Empire control of those parts of the galaxy that lay to the west and north of the Core as well as north of the Corellian Run. [1], While other Sith became feared warriors and conquered new worlds for the glory of the Empire, Vitiate was content to remain on Nathema even when the rest of the Sith Lords went to war against the Republic.

He began a brief skirmish with the Outlander. Once the Empire reclaimed the Sith Academy on Korriban over a thousand years later, the Guard also took on the role of guardians for the Academy. Red (original body)[10]Tan (Emperor's Voice)[14]Pale (Emperor's Voice)[13]Fair (Valkorion)[12] The Emperor was able to summon Sith magic, which enabled him to create physical duplicates of himself while battling the Hero of Tython. Over the next 200 years, the Emperor advanced his plans for a new invasion. Vitiate, at an unknown period, carved an ancient Sith ritual into his original body to act as a last resort in the event his body was harmed, which would immobilize the attacker(s) by putting them into a coma. [50], Thousands of years after the Emperor's death, the Sith Lord Darth Plagueis—himself obsessed with achieving immortality—mused that Emperor Vitiate, as he was known to history, was the only Sith Lord in history who had come close to achieving the secret.[136]. When the dust settled, the two were still standing, but the other ten members of the Council combined their powers to obliterate the two.

[58] Fleeing her duties and traveling into Republic space, she began to feed the Republic information, and then locked herself in stasis aboard the medical space station Colony Blue above Lenico, where the Emperor could only sense her dreams. ; 826 people have joined this week. Site Statistics. He used his newfound powers to snap his adoptive father's neck with a thought, and tortured his mother with the Force for months while feeding on her fear and pain. The Force ghost of Meetra Surik enlisted the aid of the Jedi Master Oteg and an elite strike team composed of Republic soldiers and Jedi to free the imprisoned Jedi from the heart of the Maelstrom, and for the first time in centuries the Emperor was freed from Revan's mental manipulations—and no longer hindered by Revan's desire to protect the Republic. [45] The throne took generations to complete, finishing around two centuries after the Jedi Civil War,[52] but for some reason Valkorion kept the Eternal Fleet within the Unknown Regions for the centuries that followed. The Tenebrae form again lashed out to separate the Commander from the others. [118] Ziost's population was evacuated as quickly as the Empire and Republic could manage, but only a fraction were off-world by the time Vitiate made his final call: a wave of dark side energy rolled across the globe, turning all living things to ash and leeching the Force from the world to revitalize him. While the three forms all declared themselves endless, they were confronted first by Meetra Surik, whom Tenebrae mocked for her failure to kill him once before, and then by Scourge, who reminded him that he had saved the Emperor from her the first time, and would not do so again. Dramath offered the holocron as a means of defeating Valkorion once and for all. Vaylin did not strike back against her father, however, instead choosing to bide her time. [25] Those rituals soon also affected Dromund Kaas's atmosphere, causing the skies to be filled with perpetual rain storms and lightning. Multiple host body deaths, 3950[2]–c. However, Revan was freed by Scourge and Surik during the chaos, and the trio prepared to end the threat that the Emperor posed once and for all. This event led to the plague being released and rendering Scourge and Kira comatose for more than a year. However, the newly converted Sith were stronger than he expected, and they broke free of the Emperor's conditioning. The Jedi historian Gnost-Dural deduced centuries later that Ovair had been in fact been targeted by Sadow's spirit because he was a servant of the Sith Emperor, and that the infiltrator had used Gynt to draw out and eliminate Sadow's spirit before the Empire invaded. [2] During her apprenticeship, Kressh was sent to a monastery on Ambria, where the Emperor experimented on her and prepared to make her a vessel for his mind. Surik's spirit survived the death of her body, however, and remained faithfully at her friend's side while the Emperor fed off Revan's strength and knowledge. With her serene and considerate manner, one might mistake Lana Beniko for a Jedi. [1] Revan had already encountered Sith ruins on Korriban and Malachor V before the battle and unknowingly drew the Emperor's attention in the process, and the Emperor reached out to Revan and Malak. [35] However, the Emperor acknowledged their power as a potential threat, and locked one of three Phobis devices—the Phobis Core—away in the depths of the Dark Temple as a way of limiting the six's powers. The Outlander sat upon the throne, becoming immobilized in agony as the power of the throne pulsed through their body; when it was done, the fleet had stopped firing at last. The machinery in the Temple of Sacrifice was destroyed before the ritual was completed,[115] but Revan—still determined to destroy the Emperor at any cost—retreated to the Emperor's sanctuary, hoping to confront the Emperor's spirit. Please update the article to reflect recent events, and remove this template when finished. The colonists' legends spoke of shamans who lived on through their descendants, something that was of interest to the Emperor's plans for his Children. [70] The Imperial capture of the Seswenna sector in 3671 BBY was countered when the Republic won a resounding victory at the First Battle of Bothawui, and the heroic last stand of Jedi Master Belth Allusis and his men at the second battle inspired the Republic to fight back against the seemingly unstoppable Imperial advance. Spurred on by their Lord's command, Lords Darth Malgus and Darth Angral led Imperial forces to a costly victory in the Reconquest of Ord Radama.[59]. As a droid, T7-O1 was the only one of the Jedi's companions who could safely confront the Emperor without falling under the Sith's control, but the Hero and T7-O1 were forced to rescue one of the other members of their crew when the companion was pinned down by Imperial forces. [23] One of the Sithspawn created during the rituals escaped deep underground, becoming known as Akure, the Ghost in the Darkness. After he learned why Kressh had fled the Emperor, Kel returned to the Council and demanded to be elevated to Lordship in exchange for the information. Valkorion appeared before the Outlander, congratulating them for finally becoming ruler of Zakuul and master of the Eternal Throne...before lashing out with his power, trying to force the Outlander to submit to his will. They sought the aid of the Alliance Commander first by testing them on Mek-Sha to ensure that Valkorion was truly dead and no trace of his power remained in their mind, mainly due to the Emperor being a master deceiver. For the best effect remove the kotor2logo.txi 1.8.1 had if you patched up to version 1.8.2 from 1.8.1. Yet, when Kaas City's power grid was expanded into the tunnels beneath the Temple, devices such as the Ravager that were stored in the Temple had the unintentional effect of driving thousands of slaves mad. With the accompanying ritual, the artifact would allow the Emperor to absorb all life on the moon, and thus it was kept as a failsafe plan in case the Voice was slain. Now fully devoted to ruling the Eternal Empire, Valkorion sanctioned the attacks, but only permitted Thexan to lead the Eternal Fleet. However, the Emperor's emissary was also manipulating Mandalore with the power of the dark side, binding the warrior and convincing him to launch a war against the Republic in order to test its strength. The Emperor decided to imprison Revan, prolonging his life indefinitely through a combination of Sith alchemy and technology, and placing him in a specially constructed prison in the heart of the impossible-to-navigate Maelstrom Nebula. Declaring his intention to retake the galaxy, the Emperor's essence vanished from Yavin 4 without taking a physical form or possessing a body. Moreover, the Guard answered only to the Emperor—the Dark Council had no control over the group's activities, despite the Guard's roles as protectors of the Sith Sanctum. Bakarn became the Emperor's First Son, shielding the other Children from detection while also serving on the Jedi High Council, and the Children were sent out into the galaxy as the ultimate undercover agents. [1], When Revan attempted to charge the distracted Emperor, the Sith unleashed a blast of Force lightning that sent him screaming to the floor, and blasted T3-M4 into shrapnel when the droid attacked with his flamethrower. The Sith Pureblood named Tenebrae was born in 5113 BBY on Medriaas, a planet at the edge of the Sith Worlds. [80] The species was ruled by a group of Mystics whose prophecies were always accurate,[81] and the Emperor desired to have one of them as his Voice. [110] The Emperor's slumber also had the unintended consequences on Vaylin—with the bulk of the Sith entity's power locked away on Yavin 4, Valkorion's mental blocks within Vaylin's mind broke down and her powers reemerged. Alternatively, they can choose to leave their companion to die for dark side points, but the Emperor remains the same in terms of game mechanics either way. The Sith Empire still nearly conquered the Republic, but Revan further influenced Vitiateâdistracted by the births of his three children to the Zakuul Knight Senya Tirallâto sue for peace instead, prompting a decade-long Treaty of Coruscant. [80], A decade after the Treaty of Coruscant,[3] the former apprentice of Jedi Master Orgus Din drew the ire of Darth Angral when the Jedi Knight killed the Sith's son Tarnis on Coruscant. Despite this, he maintained enough of a grasp to attempt to warn against intrusion into the vaults beneath the Sanitarium. The Emperor's essence returned to the care of the Hand and entered a deep slumber[107] on Yavin 4[54] in order to recuperate, as the battle with the Hero had grievously wounded his spirit. Even as a child, the Sith Emperor possessed immense strength in the Force, and his abilities began to manifest themselves at the age of six. [1] As the reach of his consciousness grew ever greater, he became capable of dividing his focus among multiple agents of his will across the galaxy[62][83] while still maintaining complete possession of his current Voice.

At his father's command, Arcann brought the two to Zakuul and before the Eternal Throne, where the foreigners recognized Valkorion as the former Sith Emperor. Taste, touch, smell, color, and even emotion meant nothing to him, as he lacked the capacity to experience any of them. [65] At different points during their training, each of the children spent weeks undergoing various rituals and processes in the depths of the Academy,[62] culminating in an audience with the Emperor himself where they were infused with the Emperor's strength and bound to his mind and will. [111] During that time, the Emperor's Hand was instructed to appoint Darth Acina as the successor to Darth Karrid, the head of the Sphere of Technology, and Acina was ordered by the Hand to oversee the Arcanum—the Emperor's storehouse of powerful Sith artifacts. However, at the same time Revan had been retracing his steps with the help of his ally Canderous Ordo on Rekkiad. He did not care, however, as such mortal concerns were now beneath him. Two of these—"The Phobis Devices" and "Blade of the Sith Executioner"—relate specifically to the Emperor's history. He was the source of many common phrases and utterances in Imperial culture, such as "Glory to the Emperor,"[133] "Long Live the Emperor,"[134] and "It's enough to wake the Emperor. The Dark Council handled the day-to-day running of the Empire, but ultimately answered to the Emperor. A redeemed Revan waged a mental war against the Emperor, delaying his Great Galactic War by three centuries. The attempt to capture him fails, and the Emperor turns the player to the dark side in a cutscene. [1], Examining a datacron belonging to the Emperor's half-brother within Dramath's tomb, Revan and Malak discovered the location of Nathema and traveled to the barren world, where they learned the location of Dromund Kaas itself and witnessed the Emperor's power.

[127] The trail led from there to Iokath, where Vaylin regained control of the Eternal Fleet from SCORPIO's free will;[128] then back to Zakuul, where the Outlander and Theron Shan crashed Vaylin's Grand Festival;[129] and then finally to Nathema, where Valkorion had sent Vaylin to be "properly conditioned". When Dramath confronted him, Tenebrae severed his father's power and imprisoned his spirit for millennia of torment. However, the Emperor interfered with her plans by "suggesting" that she bring in outside assistance in the form of the Sith Lord Scourge. However, the Knight was finally freed from the Emperor's control by the spirit of Orgus Din, and the Hero escaped back to Tython with the help of Scourge. Using Coruscant as a bargaining chip, the Empire forced the Republic to sign the Treaty of Coruscant and end the Great Galactic War. [1] But when the eight thousand Sith who answered Vitiate's call[20] arrived at his palace, he dominated their minds and bound their wills to his, forcing the Sith to participate in the ritual. Tirall spoke out against the change, catching Valkorion's attention; her willingness to speak her mind earned her a permanent posting to Valkorion's elite guard, and the two began a secret affair two years later. When the vessel returned to the Sith fleet,[22] the Emperor led his people to the long-lost world, and upon reaching the surface he addressed the Sith. [53] During the attack on Korriban, Arcann was seriously injured in battle, losing an arm and suffering severe wounds to his face. The duo trapped the, now plagued, Satele Shan and her followers in a transport programmed to travel a random course throughout unsettled sectors of the Outer Rim with a few med-droids to tend to them. The Emperor's essence outlived his host and retreated to Yavin 4 in order to recuperate. He revealed that he intended to hollow out the Outlander as a new vessel for his immortal spirit, just as he had done to the original Valkorion centuries before, and take the Throne back for himself. The Hero managed to catch the attack on the blade of a lightsaber, and the two opponents advanced across the room toward each other as the Emperor continued to blast the Jedi with lightning. Revan went on to destroy the very Empire he had created and defeated Malak aboard the Star Forge, but in the years after the war he began to be plagued by memories of Dromund Kaas. The Hand's leader, Servant One, was the first to be bound to the Emperor, while his constant companion Servant Two gained prophetic powers through a close connection to the Emperor's mind at the expense of his own sanity. [44] After a confrontation with Arcann at the Battle of Asylum, the Outlander's team escaped the Eternal Fleet[125] and journeyed to the remote planet of Odessen, where the Outlander established an Alliance against Arcann's Eternal Empire with support from elements in the Republic and the Sith Empire.[126]. Drawing off their memories and power, the imprint slowly reformed itself into a duplicate of Tenebrae and threatened to use Shan as his new host. [1] The 2012 reference guide Star Wars: The Old Republic Encyclopedia gave further information on the Sith Emperor, revealing that the position of Emperor's Voice and the creation of the Children were results of Revan's attack on the Emperor. Vitiate had never participated in any battles or conquests during his reign, and had a reputation of being a reclusive scholar. [1], Tenebrae's power at the age of thirteen was great enough for Marka Ragnos, the current Dark Lord of the Sith, to acknowledge the teenager's strength and grant him the title of Lord Vitiate. [140] His first true appearance was in The Old Republic, Blood of the Empire Act 1: Shades of the Sith, an issue in the 2010 Star Wars: The Old Republic series of comics that served as backstory for the 2011 massively multiplayer online role-playing game Star Wars: The Old Republic. The man absorbed the life force of the entire world, stripping the Force from the very fabric of reality on Nathema and gaining both unimaginable power and immortality as a result. [67], When the strike team landed aboard the Emperor's fortress, they were forced to fight through the Imperial Guard—as well as Sithspawn known as Harrowers—to reach the Emperor, and the first Jedi to enter the Emperor's throne room were the Hero and Kira Carsen. [98] Through the eyes of another Child named Sophia Farash, the Emperor learned that the Barsen'thor was securing the aid of the Voss species, but Farash's attempt to kill the Jedi Master ended with the Child's death. [72] Not long after the blockade, a resilient Republic struck at Ziost itself, although the Empire eventually defeated the attackers in a battle lasting more than a month. [73] Both the Emperor and the Dark Council were desperate for an end to the brutal war, which as it dragged on was forcing the Empire to strip entire worlds of their resources and peoples to fuel the Imperial war machine. Star Wars: The Old Republic (que tiene lugar casi 4000 años antes de la batalla de Yavin 4 donde Luke Skywalker hizo volar la primera Estrella de la Muerte y se ganó el puesto de Comandante de la Rebelión) dispone de un elenco de personajes determinante para la historia del videojuego. The Commander then encountered Darth Marr, the Dark Councilor who had been killed at the Commander's side on Zakuul by Valkorion years prior. Vitiate also refrained from participating in the crusade upon which the victorious Sadow embarked against the Galactic Republic, instead watching from Nathema as the Sith Empire battled the Republic and their Jedi protectors in the Great Hyperspace War. As they grew, the two boys adored their father and were indifferent to their mother's affections, but Valkorion himself grew increasingly distant as the war against the Republic drew his attention. [61] A further blow to the Imperial war effort came when a much smaller Republic force defeated the Imperial invasion forces at the Battle of Alderaan in 3667 BBY, but the Republic's resurgence was broken with the disastrous naval conflict known as the Battle of Hoth in 3665 BBY. Both Sith and Jedi arrived simultaneously, though Revan did not detect Nyriss' ship at first. Now permanently in the Emperor's thrall, the insane Iven became the most ruthless and devoted of the Emperor's Guard. At the same time, the conspirators against the Emperor began to suspect they were on the verge of being discovered. Tenebrae then tortured his mother for months with the Force before killing her for betraying their family, and began to subjugate the other members of his village with his powers. Three days after the lead researcher presented the team's findings, Vitiate announced the commencement of his ritual. [13] When he touched Scourge with his mind, the mental contact drove the Sith Lord nearly insane despite only lasting less than a second. Take your favorite fandoms with you and never miss a beat. [51] Valkorion used this to his advantage, using the Scions' Force visions to find the location of the dormant fleet. It was not long before Braga and then Carsen succumbed to the Emperor's attack as well, leaving only the Knight to advance slowly against the storm. [59] As the Imperial Army and Imperial Navy conquered planets such as Sluis Van, Imperial troops massacred anyone who would not swear loyalty to their new Emperor, and troopers of the Republic Military were simply killed on sight. [106] The Emperor was further weakened by the loss of his First Son, who was defeated by the Barsen'thor before Bakarn overwhelmed and imprisoned the First Son within his own mind. Tenebrae was born during the Old Sith Empire, under the rule of Marka Ragnos. As his horrified son came to his senses, a seemingly unmoved Valkorion approached him and commanded Arcann to come with him. With a great burst of dark side energy, the Immortal Emperor was gone, seemingly never to return.[8][132]. The plague would spawn an entity that would feed on the victims by connecting their minds and merging into an even stronger entity. To hunt it down, they suggested to the Commander to send droids, as they would not become corrupted by Vitiate's power. Animals avoided him, and his voice seemed to carry power and weight beyond his years. Sel-Makor began to fight the Emperor for control of the Voice, silencing the Emperor and cutting him off from the Hand. [14] He also began to experiment with learning and combining different Force techniques[58] in an effort to extend his reach and sight beyond the capabilities of his Hand alone. Tirall attempted to flee with her children, but they rejected her concerns and scorned her affections, so a broken-hearted Tirall returned to service in the enforcement division of the Knights on the outer fringes of the Empire, never to speak with Valkorion again. [42] Those hosts varied widely, including the bodies of a young Human female and an elderly Sith Pureblood, but they always possessed the same emotionless, cold male voice. However, despite the effectiveness of the plague, anybody who was previously granted a portion of Vitiate's power was rendered immune to the plague's effects due to the past power acting as a vaccine. Brushing off the Hero's claims that he would face justice, the Emperor again attempted and failed to rise to his feet. The Outlander resurfaced in the void of their own mind, wearing the form of Valkorion himself. This article or section is in need of referencing per Wookieepedia's, This article needs appropriate citations. Due to the void in the Force on Nathema, and the unleashing of power as Vaylin broke through the mental cage Valkorion had put her into, his presence in the Outlander's mind appeared to be fading in and out at regular intervals. As a result, an Imperial force attacked the planet while the Emperor's Hand kidnapped a Mystic from the surface. The energy rippled through the Dark Temple and began to collapse the structure, so the Jedi and T7-O1 fled the structure and returned to their ship.[13]. Some were planetary representatives,[67] others members of the Republic Military,[69] and some even became members of the Jedi Order itself. You will be asked if you are sure […] Some followed the child out of fear of his immense power, while others served out of fanatical loyalty. [25] In the early years after the arrival on Dromund Kaas,[26] the Emperor ordered the expansion of the edifice known as the Dark Temple on the outskirts of Kaas City. While the Emperor watched from his throne, Scourge battled the pair in a fierce duel, but the Wrath was ultimately defeated by the two Jedi. Revan was eventually betrayed by his apprentice during a Jedi attempt to capture him, and Malak seized control of their Empire, while Revan's mind was wiped clean by the Jedi Council.
