Darth Wredd

"I spent every moment of my apprenticeship locked in a mask to ensure my obedience. I had no identity of my own. It was excruciating."

- Darth Wredd to Jao Assam

Darth Wredd was a male Human Sith apprentice, who served the One Sith during the Second Imperial Civil War. He became independent after killing his master, initiating an insurgency, and taking the title of Sith Lord.

Ambush in the Surd Nebula
"My apprenticeship is done."

- Darth Wredd after killing his master

Along with his master, Wredd ambushed Yalta Val and killed his crew when their ship crash landed on the dark planet of Mala in the Surd Nebula. When Yalta was at their mercy, the apprentice killed his master in order to end his apprenticeship, and his ties to the One Sith. He then imprisoned the Imperial Knight on the planet, and took his armor and identity in order to impersonate him.



The Carreras system
Under the disguise of Yalta Val, Darth Wredd made his way to the Carreras communications array, posing as Yalta Val, and met Biala, the governor of the Carreras system. He then explained to her the ambush and the fact that a Sith presence is hiding in the system. Without calling the Triumvirate for approval, he decided to put an end to the threat all by himself. Presumably, he also managed to kill one of the infiltrated Sith on Ceitia Five by this time. Meanwhile, Wredd contacted his prisoner via a hologram and presented him with the option of either surrendering to the dark side and becoming his ally, or waiting indefinitely as a prisoner of the mask.

Enlisting the help of Biala's security forces, the Sith Lord went to Carreras Major to retrieve Yalta Val's lightsaber. Once he landed on the planet he had an argument with Ania Solo, who refused to give away the weapon, and sent SD against him. Wredd then used telekinesis to grab the lightsaber and sliced the droid. Then he left, leaving only one order to his men: to kill the Solo girl and the Mon Calamari. However, all of them were killed by AG-37, allowing Ania and her associates to escape into space. Once he returned to Biala's palace, Darth Wredd gave the order to the security forces to prevent any departure or arrival into the Carreras system until the array was done. The governor was upset by this act but reluctantly allowed Darth Wredd to do things the way he wanted after he emphasized that he was acting under the authority of the Galactic Triumvirate.

The disappearance of Yalta Val and the subsequent events in the Carreras system led to delays in the installation of the communications array in Carreras. In response, his friend and fellow Imperial Knight]] Jao Assam traveled to the system to investigate. Upon arriving, the Carreras security forces, under Darth Wredd's command, attempted to arrest him but he managed to escape and landed on Carreras Major, a barren desert world. By that stage, the Carreras security forces had caught with Ania's ship but Ania and her associates managed to evade their pursuers and land on Carreras Major. There, Ania's ship was attacked by a giant tentacled monster. During the skirmish, Jao came to the aid of Ania and her associates and they managed to escape the monster. After Val's Imperial communications droid played a holo-recording of Yalta Val fighting Wredd's Sith master, Jao, Ania, and her associates quickly realized that Yalta Val had been replaced by an impostor. They decided to trace back the coordinates where the recording was made and rescue Yalta Val.

Meanwhile, Darth Wredd, still disguised as Yalta Val, supervised the work on the Carreras communications array. While Governor Biala's engineers were still working on the field generators, Wredd was growing impatient with the delays on the communications array. Following a failed attempt to engage the station's primary power systems, an enraged Darth Wredd choked a Shifala engineer, hurting the man's neck. The "false" Yalta Val's erratic behavior disturbed Governor Biala but she was still unwilling to move against the Imperial Knight. Instead, Biala decided to wait until after the operational launch of the Carreras communications array to lodge a formal complaint with the Triumvirate. Meanwhile, Ania's ship was intercepted and captured by a Carreras warship. There, the ship's crew were disarmed and imprisoned in the ships holding cells, pending shipment to the communications array station.

Upon learning of the capture of Ania's associates and Jao Assam, Darth Wredd ordered the Biala's security forces to bring the Imperial Knight to the station and ordered the immediate execuation of Ania and her associates. When Governor Biala objected to executing the prisoners without a trial, Wredd demanded that she put her trust in him. In response, Biala angrily retorted that the Triumvirate had done nothing but create further expense for her people. Using her position, Biala then attempted to retake control of the Carreras communications array project. In retaliation, Wredd Force-choked her and threatened to kill her if she did not cooperate with him.

Later, Darth Wredd met with the captive Jao Assam, who was held within a stasis field. Upon meeting the Sith impostor, Assam demanded to know who he was and what he had done with Master Val. After taunting his captive, Darth Wredd briefly talked about his Sith apprenticeship with his prisoner; describing his late master as a fool and a thug. He admitted that he had kept the real Yalta Val prisoner within his mask with the hope of turning him to the dark side. When Assam retorted that Wredd would not succeed him, Wredd made vague references to Val merely being a puzzle piece in his plan. When Assam asked the Sith why he had chosen to target the Carreras system, Wredd asked his prisoner why the Triumvirate had chosen to install a communications array in that system. He deduced that the Triumvirate was weak and was doomed to fall.

Jao Assam refused to listen to Darth Wredd's remarks and asserted that the Imperial Knights brought peace to the galaxy. Wredd then commented that the Triumvirate's policy of working on construction projects instead of hunting down the Sith made the galaxy more "peaceful" for the Sith. In an attempt to undermine Assam's faith that he was on the right side, he revealed that the One Sith were still out there in the galaxy infiltrating remote systems and consolidating power. When Assam asked Wredd why he was acting differently from the other Sith, Wredd argued that he was following a different path from the One Sith because he believed that there should only be two Sith: a master and an apprentice.

Unknown to Darth Wredd and Assam, their conversation was being monitored via hologram by Governor Biala, who had grown suspicious that Wredd actually a Sith masquerading as an Imperial Knight. With her suspiciouns finally confirmed, Biala freed Assam from his restraints and returned his lightsaber to him. In exchange for releasing Ania and her associates, Biala instructed Assam to get rid of the Sith impostor. After reuniting with Ania and her associates, Assam went to the communication array's hangar bay to confront Darth Wredd, who was still donning Val's Imperial Knight armor, and was about to leave on a shuttle. By that stage, the communications array was drifting towards Val's base on the dark world of Mala. While Assam had planned to silently follow the Sith and discover his base, Ania decided to blow up his ship while he was taking off.

Ania fired her blaster at the shuttle's engine, destroying the starship. However, Darth Wredd leapt out of the burning shuttle and used the Force to hurl Ania against the hangar bay's wall. Jao Assam, backed by Sauk and AG-37, then attacked the Sith with their lightsaber and blasters. However, Darth Wredd used the Force to hurl his opponents away and sliced AG-37 in half. While exchanging lightsaber blows with Assam, Wredd taunted and goaded his opponent to do better. Assam then succeeded in blinding Wredd's right eye with his lightsaber. Despite his injuries, Darth Wredd was still strong enough to use the Force to hurl two pieces of shrapnel through Assam's armor, impaling the younger Knight. Wredd then escaped the station in another shuttle. The seriously wounded Assam was caught up in the subsequent drift generated by the shuttle's departure and floated in the space above Mala.

Personality and traits
Darth Wredd was a tall, well-built man with white hair. While he normally had grey-colored eyes, Wredd's eyes would turn a luminous sulfuric yellow when he was employing his dark side powers. During his Sith apprenticeship to an unidentified Sith, Wredd was forced to wear an uncomfortable helmet which was intended to temper his weakness, teach him hatred, and to ensure his full commitment to the Dark Side. The helmet succeeded in these objectives but fuelled his hatred and ambitions which ultimately drove Wredd to murder his master when the opportunity came.

Due to his harsh Sith apprenticeship, Darth Wredd treated other sentient beings with contempt and disdain. After assuming the Imperial Knight Yalta Val's identity and stealing his armor, Wredd successfully used his position as a representative of the Galactic Federation Triumvirate to bully Biala, the governor of the Carreras system, into giving him control of all her security forces under the pretext of eliminating the One Sith presence in that system. Wredd had a fierce and hot temper which he used to intimidate and threaten other beings. On one occasion, Wredd even strangled a Shifala communications officer following delays with the construction of the Carreras communications array. Most importantly, he was also willing to kill anybody, whether Sith or non-Sith, to achieve his own ambitions of ruling the galaxy. Wredd's plan involved killing the other One Sith sleeper agents who had infiltrated planetary governments across the galaxy.

Powers and abilities
Darth Wredd was able to use telekinesis, and snagged Yalta Val's lightsaber from Ania Solo's grip, and possibly Force stealth, as he was able to sneak up on his master to kill him. Darth Wredd could also use telekinesis to choke his victims, such as when he choked Governor Biala, an unidentified Shifala communications officer, and Solo. Wredd was also a frequent user of Force Throw, which he used to impale Jao Assam, entangle Ania Solo, and during his duel with Yalta Val. Darth Wredd also has a keen Force sense, such as when he sensed the presence of Ania Solo during his galactic broadcast. The Sith Lord also appeared to be proficient in the use of Force-enhanced movements, such as when he jumped out of a ship before it exploded. When using the dark side, the Sith's eyes would glow yellow. Apart from being talented in the Force, Wredd was also adept at lightsaber combat. His skill allowed him to hold his own against Imperial Knight Jao Assam. Wredd was also proficient enough to fight Yalta Val before being disarmed. In addition, the Sith Lord demonstrated a strong tolerance to physical pain, such as when he was still combat-capable even after Assam took one of his eyes.
