Biography
"&mdash;And though the enemy brought great numbers to the field of battle, for every number, there is a negative. Their strength became my own. Their minds became my own. All flesh is my flesh. None move, save I will it. This is the rule the Sith were promised, and I have made it real!"

- from the Codex of Karness Muur



The Sith Lord Karness Muur created the Muur Talisman to turn those in close proximity into mindless thralls for him to command. When the Talisman was found not to work on Force-sensitives or certain alien species, Muur further engineered the Rakghoul Plague, an infection which could be spread by those already under his thrall. He also created the Codex of Karness Muur around this time, in which he illustrates the power of his beloved Talisman and its use for the Sith. During his life, he had an enemy, another Sith Lord named Dreypa who created oubliette to capture and neutralize Karness and power of his Talisman.

When Muur died, the Talisman was also able to sustain its creator's spirit, binding it into its' very fabric, thus allowing Muur to continue with his schemes with the Talisman as his tool, centuries after his death.

The First WatchCircle envisioned him during a memorial service for fallen Jedi Raana Tey. In this vision Karness Muur was leading an army of rakghouls, which he kept organized allowing them to use weapons and vessels. He was seen wearing the Talisman on his chest, and had a curved hilt hanging from his belt. In the vision, he was accompanied by a hooded person wielding a red lightsaber. He was seen in another vision by Celeste Morne, after she had pulled Zayne Carrick out of the Muur Talisman's grip. When she asked who he was, he simply answered "the future". Because she was Force-sensitive, Muur's spirit tried to take control over her. He planned to leave the Mandalorian-held planet Jebble and spread his Rakghoul Plague throughout the galaxy using her as a host. Thanks to Zayne Carrick, Celeste realized that she was being corrupted by the Talisman and its' creator's spirit and asked Zayne to end her life. However, Zayne gave her another option, encasing her in stasis in Dreypa's Oubliette; stopping Muur's machinations and delaying his plans until a solution could be found to counteract the power of the talisman.

For four thousand years, Muur was contained with his host within the oubliette. It was soon found by miners. but eventually, when Celeste was woken up from her long stasis, she and Muur learned that four millennia had past and the Sith rule of the galaxy.
