Scourge (Sith)

"When you have lived centuries, you see that everything is a pattern that grows out of itself. Sometimes you can no longer see the trees, only the roots. It is the smallest part of the price of immortality."

- Scourge

Scourge was a male Sith pureblood who served the reconstituted Sith Empire as a Sith Lord for over three centuries. Born several decades before the conflict known as the Jedi Civil War between the Galactic Republic and the Sith Empire under Darth Revan, Scourge excelled during his time as a student in the Sith Academy on the Imperial capital of Dromund Kaas,

When Scourge was recalled from the far reaches of the Empire in 3,954 BBY by the Sith Emperor himself to investigate assassination attempts on the Dark Councillor Darth Nyriss, he soon became embroiled in a conspiracy to unseat the Emperor and ended up killing Nyriss' fellow Council member Darth Xedrix. Nyriss took Scourge to the Emperor's homeworld of Nathema, where he learned that the Emperor intended to consume all life in the galaxy, and captured the Jedi Master Revan when the Jedi crashed on the planet.

Over the next four years, Scourge interrogated his captive but soon came to trust the mysterious Jedi Master, and when Revan's ally Meetra Surik arrived on Dromund Kaas intending to rescue him Scourge decided to help her. After Scourge revealed the existence of Nyriss' conspiracy to the Emperor, he and Surik freed Revan amidst the chaos of the Dark Council purge. The three attempted to destroy the Emperor in battle, but Scourge witnessed the coming of another Jedi Knight in a vision and betrayed his allies so that he could survive to aid the Jedi when they appeared. For his actions, the Emperor granted Scourge the gift of immortality and appointed him the Emperor's Wrath, his personal enforcer and executioner.

Early life
"Welcome to Dromund Kaas.''" "''Welcome back. This is not my first time on this world."

- Sechel and Scourge

The Sith pureblood Scourge was born several decades before the Jedi Civil War of 3,959–3,956 BBY, a conflict that pitted the Galactic Republic against the Sith Empire under the control of the Sith Lord Darth Revan. However, Scourge was born in the territory of the reconstituted Empire, which had been in hiding in the Unknown Regions for almost a thousand years. In his youth, Scourge was often threatened with fearsome legends of the Jedi when he was disobedient, leading him to become a strong believer in the idea that the Jedi Order would gladly exterminate the Sith if given the chance again. Found to be Force-sensitive in 3,964 BBY, Scourge was sent to the Empire's capital planet of Dromund Kaas, where he was enrolled in the Sith Academy as a young acolyte. Upon arriving on Dromund Kaas, the young Scourge sensed the power of the dark side that emanated from the Imperial Citadel, the structure that housed the the Imperial government and the Empire's ruling Dark Council, and he swore to himself that he would one day set foot inside the building. At some point, Scourge also fell in love with another individual, though the relationship did not proceed very far.

Scourge spent eight years at the Academy, leaning the ways of the Force, showing a knack for interrogation and torture early on in his time at the Academy. One of the top students, Scourge was praised for both his strength in the Force and his devotion to Sith philosophy, and he drew upon the dark side power within the Citadel to sustain himself during training sessions. By the end of his time at the Academy, Scourge was considered to be a master in the art of interrogation, but his hopes for a posting on the Imperial capital were quashed when he was unexpectedly assigned to the fringes of the Empire in order to quell a series of rebellions there in 3,956 BBY. Scourge suspected that one of his instructors had recommended him for the posting out of jealousy or spite, but he was unable to prove his theory. Despite his posting, however, Scourge was able to craft a powerful reputation by crushing the resistance groups and pursuing their leaders, earning the attention of several influential figures in the Imperial Military.

Political machinations
"I've spent too much time away from Dromund Kaas. I've forgotten the ways of the Sith.''" "''That time away is what earned you this post. It wasn't just your success at quashing the rebels and eliminating their leaders. The Emperor chose you because he knew you had been removed from the politics of Dromund Kaas and the Dark Council; you were untainted by any allegiance to a secret master who might be involved in the conspiracy against me."

- Scourge and Darth Nyriss

In 3,954 BBY, Scourge was granted the title of Sith Lord, and he was ordered to return to Dromund Kaas at the personal request of Darth Nyriss, one of the Dark Council's most senior members. Given the assignment of discovering who was behind the recent string of assassination attempts against Nyriss, Scourge arrived in Kaas City and was greeted by Nyriss's aide Sechel&mdash;a Sith pureblood whose paltry strength in the Force earned Scourge's immediate disgust. Brushing aside Sechel's servile attempts to placate him, Scourge ordered the aide to bring him to Darth Nyriss's stronghold, and the two set off through the rain was constantly falling on Dromund Kaas. However, two mercenaries refused to get out of Scourge's way, as was expected of the Subjugate caste within the Empire, and it was only Sechel's hurried attempts to get them to move aside that prevented Scourge from having the two Humans arrested. However, as Sechel drove Scourge to Nyriss's compound in a speeder, the Sith Lord grew confused as to why Nyriss had not sent an entire honor guard to receive him, as his presence would be a public statement that the attempts on her life were being dealt with.

Upon reaching Nyriss's stronghold, Scourge was enraged when her chief of security, a Human named Murtog, refused to allow him entry until he confirmed Scourge's identity. Furious, Scourge gripped Sechel by the throat with the Force and interrogated him as to the reasons behind Murtog's impudence, only to learn that he had been misinformed&mdash;Nyriss had not requested Scourge's presence, the Sith Emperor himself had. Scourge's assignment was viewed as an intrusion by Nyriss and her subordinates. The Sith Lord was considering his new situation when he became aware of an approaching speeder and sensed a threat through the Force. Drawing his lightsaber, Scourge reached out to the newcomers and confirmed his suspicions&mdash;they were coming to kill him&mdash;before he was forced to leap aside in order to avoid blasterfire. Using the Force to augment his speed, Scourge raced across the entrance courtyard of Nyriss's compound in order to avoid the speeder's automated blaster cannon before disabling the weapon with a toss of his lightsaber. Avoiding a falling statue that had been damaged by his attackers, Scourge then charged the downed speeder only to recognize the same two mercenaries from earlier. The Sith leapt to avoid one of the mercenaries's blaster fire and killed the second attacker by slicing him in half, though his attempt to charge the first mercenary saw him struck by several blaster bolts.

Despite this, Scourge fed off of the pain and used it to strike the female mercenary with the Force, sending her flying into one of the courtyard statues. The woman recovered quickly enough to draw an electrorod before Scourge could reach her, and the two began to circle each other as the Sith offered to hire her if she told him who had arranged for the attack. However, the mercenary was suddenly killed by Murtog and several security guards, who had just arrived in the courtyard. Murtog then informed Scourge that Darth Nyriss would now receive him, and the Human led the Sith Lord through Nyriss's stronghold as Scourge ignored the pain from his recent wounds. Ignoring Sechel's running commentary on the artwork present in the building, Scourge began to contemplate the reasoning behind the attempt on his life, and he came to realize any number of parties might be responsible&mdash;a jealous rival, Sechel, Murtog, or any combination of the three. Scourge's musings were ended when the group arrived at Nyriss's chambers, and the Sith was surprised to discover how much of a toll the dark side had taken on the Dark Councilor's physical form.

Nyriss informed Scourge that she was impressed with how he had handled the mercenaries, and the elder Sith dismissed both Murtog and Sechel after Scourge made it clear that Murtog's killing of the female mercenary had been a mistake. Once they were alone, he explained his suspicions as to who had hired the assassins, but Nyriss surprised him by revealing she had arranged the attack as a test for him. The Dark Councilor then informed her new vassal of a lead that he could follow up on in the investigation of who was trying to kill her&mdash;the droid used in the latest attempt had been traced to the Uxiol Droid Manufacturing planet on the planet Hallion. Nyriss wanted Scourge to accompany Sechel to the plant so that Sechel could hack into the facility's computer systems, but the two would not depart for several days. Dismissed from Nyriss's presence, Scourge was escorted to his own room in the compound by Secheol, where he received treatment from a medical droid for his shoulder.

Searchng for answers
"You want me to go check out the plant.''" "''I want Sechel to check out the plant. Once inside, he can slice into their computer network to find out who arranged the purchase. I hired those mercenaries you dispatched to get him past security. That task now falls to you."

- Scourge and Darth Nyriss

By the time they arrived at Hallion, Scourge had learned that Sechel's previous persona of a servile aide had been nothing more than a ruse; the man was actually an accomplished former operative of Imperial Intelligence. However, Sechel's mission planning failed to account for the three-meter high security fence that surrounded the Uxiol plant, and the error only served to exacerbate Scourge's growing sense of uneasiness. Despite this, Scourge proceeded with the mission and leapt the fence in a single bound, relying on the Force to lift him the extra centimeters necessary to avoid the electrified metal, and after ensuring he was not being watched Scourge headed for the nearby gate to let Sechel in. Dispatching the single patrol drone guarding the gate, the Sith Lord let Sechel into the compound, and the two broke into the plant itself.

However, Sechel was unable to open the door to the records room, and a frustrated Scourge destroyed the security panel with his lightsaber&mdash;only to trigger a facility-wide alarm that drew the attention of more patrol drones. Scourge charged the first two drones to appear and quickly destroyed them, and then dispatched another probe droid with a toss of his lightsaber before smashing a fourth second into the floor with the Force repeatedly. However, Scourge was then confronted with a three-meter-tall UDM assault droid equipped with two heavy blaster cannons, and the Sith Lord was forced to find cover as it opened fire and charged. Making use of the manufacturing plant's catwalks, Scourge ascended the room and was spared further attacks from the assault drone on account of the droid's limited range of mobility.

Scourge took advantage of that reprieve to dispatch two of the five patrol drones following him by using the Force to make them collide, sending both crashing down into one of the nearby vats of molten metal. The Sith then raced along the catwalk until he was above the assault droid and leaped down onto the top of it, chopping into the armor plating with his lightsaber. Tossed off of the droid, Scourge attacked his opponent on its blind side, cutting deep into the droid with two strikes before it lashed out with one of its legs&mdash;a blow that cracked several of Scourge's ribs and sent him crashing to the ground. However, he recovered quickly enough to get underneath the droid before it resumed firing, and he dealt his opponent two more strikes to its underside that sent the droid toppling to the ground.

Scourge's satisfaction was cut short as a swarm of patrol drones entered the room alongside two more assault droids, but the Sith was prepared to go down fighting when the room suddenly went dark. Using his night goggles, Scourge realized that the entire factory had been shut down, and he contacted Sechel to find out what had happened. The other man reported that he had copied the files they were looking for before shutting down the facility's power grid. However, Sechel warned him that the trivium generators that powered the vats had been destabilized, and the pair raced out of the building just in time to avoid the massive explosion that destroyed the factory just as they passed through the perimeter fence. Injured, but able to walk, Scourge and Sechel limped back to their shuttle and departed Hallion, returning to Darth Nyriss's compound on Dromund Kaas.

Over the next week, Scourge's wounds were healed by daily doses of kolto, but the Sith Lord was angry with himself at how the mission to Hallion had gone awry. Scourge was practicing lightsaber combat in the courtyard when Darth Nyriss's Twi'lek slave came to bring him to Nyriss, and as they walked to Nyriss's chambers, he contemplated whether or not Sechel had tried to kill him in the factory on Hallion&mdash;the fact that Sechel had not contacted Scourge to warn him about the trivium generators, as well as Sechel's assurances that UDM did not possess assault droids, led Scourge to suspect that Nyriss's aide had tried to kill him. During his meeting with Nyriss, Scourge was irritated when the elder Sith had him recite the Sith Code and then reprimanded him on his lack of understanding of the basic Sith tenets. Nyriss continued her lecture by explaining that Scourge had what she described as a "special gift"&mdash;the ability to draw strength from living opponents by gorging himself on their emotions, amplifying his powers beyond the normal levels of a Sith. However, as Nyriss explained, Scourge's ability came with a drawback, as he weakened himself by trying to feed off of the emotions of droids in combat.

Thanking Nyriss for her counsel, Scourge listened as the Dark Councilor discussed Sechel's findings at Bosthirda. Her aide had traced the payment for the custom assassin droid used against her to a Human separatist movement on the planet Bosthirda, which was a long-standing member world of the Empire. The two discussed the possible reasoning behind the attacks on her life, and why the separatists would target her instead of the Human Darth Xedrix, who had served on the Council longer than she had. Nyriss then announced that she would be sending Sechel, Scourge, Murtog, and her soldiers to Bosthirda that night in order to wipe out the separatists and find out more information. Despite his reservations about Sechel, Scourge bowed to Nyriss and departed the room in order to prepare.

Testing limits
Scourge returned to Nyriss' palace and confronted Sechel, demanding answers. Nyriss intervened before Scourge could do any harm. She promised to answer his questions, but warned him not to harm Sechel again. Nyriss asked Scourge if he was loyal to the Emperor or to the Empire. She reveals that the Emperor is mad, plotting to pit the Empire against the Republic. Many know that it would be suicidal, as the Jedi always push the Sith back and would eventually exterminate them. Nyriss and several other members of the Dark Council had been plotting against their Emperor, hoping to bring them down. Xedrix was part of the conspiracy, but had to been eliminated to distract the Emperor.

To gain Scourge's trust in light of these revelations, Nyriss brought Scourge to the Sith Emperor's homeworld, Nathema, and explained his history. There she was able to show Scourge how the planet that had been stripped of all life, and even the Force itself, by a Sith ritual undertaken by the Emperor in the aftermath of the Great Hyperspace War. At first, Scourge insisted that the Emperor was in the right to take what was his, he revised his opinion upon setting foot on Nathema. It was here, experiencing the horror of the Void, that Scourge came to believe his master's assertion that the Emperor was insane.

While leaving Nathema, the pair tracked an unknown vessel arriving in orbit. Not recognizing the ship as the Ebon Hawk, and fearing her duplicity could be exposed to the Emperor prematurely, Nyriss fired her ship's ion cannon on the intruder. The crippled Ebon Hawk crashed on the surface, and Scourge went back down to capture or kill any survivors. There he found only one; Revan, who was taken captive. Nyriss identified Revan as a Jedi and Republic spy. Scourge panicked, assuming that the Jedi know of the Sith's survival and would finish the extermination of their species as what happened during the Great Hyperspace War. Nyriss allayed his fears, stating that Revan and his partner Malak were captured trying to infiltrate the Empire and officially executed.

When Revan regained consciousness, Scourge and Nyriss found that he had no memory of who he was. Scourge tried torturing information out of him to no avail, as that Jedi was strong willed and in the Force. Nyriss theorized that instead of being executed, Revan and Malak were brainwashed by the Emperor into his servants and sent back to the Republic to gather information, indicating that he's closer to invading the Republic. Nyriss decided to study Revan to learn what enabled him to break free of the Emperor's control, thinking that it might help in freeing the Emperor's devote servants: the Imperial Guard, his Voice and his Hands.

Alliance with Revan
Revan could only tell them what he could remember but could not grant answers to Nyriss' questions. After six months, Nyriss lost interest in her Jedi prisoner, though Scourge felt Revan's unique connection to the Force and continued to interrogate the prisoner, intrigued with how he experienced both sides of the Force. Over the next three years, Scourge formed a relationship of sorts with his captive. His trust in Revan, though never absolute, was slowly increased as the captive Jedi doled out small insights into the Force. He also confided in Revan his misgivings about Nyriss, who refuses to take action against the Emperor, instead wasting her energy fighting her rivals. Revan stated that Malak betrayed him and the same thing could happen to Nyriss if she were to take charge of the conspiracy. Scourge could admit to himself that he might be right. In what would turn out to be their final solo interrogation session, Revan attempted to deceive Scourge into believing that help was on its way.

Some time later, Sechel came by Scourge's quarters, informing him that while running his freelance information business, a Human woman came by and produced a perfect holoimage of Scourge, though she had no idea of the connection between him and Sechel, asking to arrange a meeting. Sechel speculated that perhaps this Human may have been the victim of one of Scourge's assassinations and may be seeking revenge. Therefore, Scourge arranged an ambush in a cave outside Kaas City, with Nyriss' chief of security, Murtog. What he didn't expect was that the Human was in fact a Jedi, who had come to Dromund Kaas to rescue Revan. Scourge was amazed how she was able to take down Murtog and his men. She wasn't afraid to kill but took no pleasure in it. Instead of feeding off her emotions, she kept them at arms' reach so the Force could flow through her unhindered.

Rather than attack, Scourge began to believe that Revan spoke truly about help about to arrive. He promised the Jedi that he would help free Revan but she was hesitant to trust him. Scourge then learned that she had been to Nathema in her search for Revan, which he reasoned is a reason to unify against a common enemy, given what the Emperor was capable of.

After concluding that she and Revan were the keys to killing the Emperor and stopping his self-destructive plan to invade the Republic, Scourge tracked down Sechel and forced him to relinquish the details on the Dark Council conspiracy. He then is forced to kill Sechel as he was a loose end. He then presented the evidence to the Jedi, earning her trust. She introduced herself as Meetra Surik and joined in an alliance of convenience to free Revan. To this end, Scourge sought an audience with the Emperor himself in order to expose his master's treachery with Sechel's evidence, though T3-M4 doctored out Scourge's involvement in the conspiracy, so that he and Surik could use the ensuing chaos as cover to rescue the third member of their party.

Scourge and Surik infiltrated Nyriss' compound posing as master and slave, but their ruse soon proved to be unnecessary as the Imperial Guard descended on the property in force. Amid the chaos and combat, the pair were able to easily make their way to the detention area.

While in the process of freeing Revan, Darth Nyriss descended on the trio. She unleashed her wrath on her traitorous underling, quickly and easily overwhelming both Scourge and Surik. In their moment of defeat, Revan emerged from his cell and rescued them by turning Nyriss' own power back upon her, killing her with ease.

After escaping the compound, Scourge learned that the Emperor's wrath had gone far beyond punishing Nyriss--the entire Dark Council and their servants were in the process of being hunted down, while Dromund Kaas itself was placed under martial law. Revan then theorized that the Emperor may use the massacre as an excuse to invade the Republic. Scourge and his unlikely allies decided to wait the night out in the cave where he had first met Surik, both to avoid the chaos and to take advantage of the tired patrols on the following morning.

The night before their fateful mission, Scourge attempted to meditate on the Force. During Revan's captivity he had learned much, but he wanted to try to expand his understanding of it. There he experienced his first Force vision, foreseeing himself and his two Jedi companions broken and defeated at the feet of the Emperor. This formed the first seed of doubt in his mind.

Scourge and the Jedi set out the following morning and were allowed entry into the Emperor's Citadel without incident. As the catalyst for the Emperor's purge, Scourge had earned himself preferential status at least for the time being. They were not stopped until reaching the doors of the throne room itself. Battle erupted there, because the captain of the Imperial Guard recognized Revan's mask.

During the course of the ensuing battle, Scourge's doubt about the outcome inspired another Force vision, in which he witnessed all the various possible outcomes of the battle. Revan and Surik were triumphant in some, but in others the Emperor prevailed. Scourge was confused and didn't know which favorable outcome was most likely or what he could do to help bring it about. Suddenly, he saw a vision of another Jedi seemingly destroying the Emperor. The desire to defeat his Emperor, even at the cost of his current allies, quickly took shape. Scourge betrayed his Jedi allies, stabbing Surik in the back and killing her instantly. This distracted Revan long enough for the Emperor to unleash a powerful display of Force lightning that incapacitated him.

Wrath of the Emperor
Believing Scourge's betrayal as an act of loyalty, the Emperor made him an immortal attendant known as the "Emperor's Wrath". After acquiring the same immortality as his master, Scourge awaited the arrival of the one who will destroy the Emperor, as foretold by the vision. However, his immortality was not without a price: the ritual caused intense pain to Scourge that would remain with him for years, and eventually he would become numb, unable to feel anything at all.

Approximately three centuries later, Scourge encountered a young Jedi Knight while he was partaking in a mission to execute the former Dark Council member, Sajar, on Quesh. Scourge arrived to find the ray shields blocking his way. While he could have forced his way through, he recognized the Jedi Knight's face and decided to back down and depart instead, revealing that they would meet again. As for Sajar, he concluded that his own weakness would be his undoing.

Scourge then returned to the Emperor's space fortress where he met the Jedi Knight once again. After being fought to a standstill, the Emperor dominated the minds of Tol Braga's strike team who arrived to capture him and redeem him to the light side, including the Knight.

A dark ally
Months went by as the Knight recovered and began training as a Sith and Scourge patiently waited to see if the Knight would break free. As soon as the Knight was freed from the Emperor's thrall by the ghost of Orgus Din, Scourge had already freed the Knight's companions. Though the Knight exhibited hostility towards Scourge, the Sith states that he had foreseen that the Knight would challenge the Emperor and that vision is what drives his current actions. He knelt down and pledged his loyalty to the Knight and to speak with their Jedi Council on Tython. Two of the Knight's companions, Doc and Kira Carsen, naturally didn't trust him, suspecting that he's leading them into a trap. Scourge insisted that he's trying to save the galaxy from annihilation and without his help, their ship will never escape. The Knight, having been told by Din that they would require a "dark ally", chose to accept Scourge's allegiance.

Upon arriving on Tython, Scourge met with hostility from Jedi Council, particularly Master Jaric Kaedan, who was certain that Scourge had his own self-serving motives. The former Wrath stated that his change of allegiance was to save the galaxy. He explained that centuries ago, he had a vision of the Emperor destroying the galaxy but the Knight would be the one to stop him. Renewed war is merely a diversion to conceal the Emperor's true plan: recreating the dark side ritual he used on Nathema, this time on a galactic scale, that would consume all life in the galaxy until nothing remained but the Emperor himself. But the ritual required billions of simultaneous deaths, centered on Belsavis. Though some Council members were wary of Scourge's intentions, Grand Master Satele Shan, (ironically Revan's descendant,) saw the truth in his words and consented to an alliance. Though officially part of the Jedi Knight's team, Scourge made it clear that he viewed it as an alliance of convenience (though he did try to persuade the Jedi Knight to open up to the Sith way.) After Belsavis was saved by the Knight from Executor Krannus' attempt to bring about the ritual, Scourge concludes that the Emperor would not devote resources to just one world, for he would have a backup plan.

Satele provided intel that a number of high-ranking Sith are gathering on a station called Korriban's Flame. A Jedi Knight named Jomar Chul went to infiltrate the meeting but hasn't been heard from since. Scourge assisted in infiltrating the station, using clearance codes to briefly fool the Imperials that their ship was carrying Grand Moff Resh. But the meeting turned out to be a trap, set by one of the fallen Jedi, Leeha Narezz, to kill the Hero. The Jedi instead managed to break the Emperor's control over her and gained intel that Lord Fulminiss was headed to Voss.

The third planet to save was Corellia, in a state of total war between Republic and Empire, with thousands of civilians dying every hour. Scourge reminded that each death brings the Emperor closer to his goal. After the Hero managed to free Tol Braga of the Emperor's control, he revealed that the Emperor is on Dromund Kaas. Knowing that the Emperor would not give up on his ritual because of these setbacks, Scourge advised haste in stopping him. He also added that Dromund Kaas is the Imperial homeworld, housing legions of Sith and Imperial military, therefore they would have to fight for every centimeter of ground. While the Republic engaged the Empire, the Hero's team slipped planetside to end the Emperor once and for all.

After the Hero seemingly defeating the Emperor, Scourge was awarded the Republic Cross of Glory. Though he could not return to the Sith for betraying the Emperor nor did he desire to become a Jedi, Scourge stated that he would stay until he was certain that the Emperor hadn't left any surprises.

Personality and traits
"I will always be Sith, but that does not mean we can not work together."

- Scourge

Powers and abilities
"You have a special gift. You do not just feed on the raw emotions of your foe; you gorge yourself on them. You feast on their primal fear. It amplifies your hate and anger. It fuels the power of the Force. It transforms you into an instrument of death and destruction."

- Darth Nyriss to Scourge.

Scourge was an expert swordsman. During his time in Darth Nyriss's stronghold, Scourge employed Juyo during a training exercise, and later used both Ataru and Soresu in his duel with Darth Xedrix's apprentices. Scourge could effortlessely switch between lightsaber combat forms while dueling his opponents. Trained as a warrior in a Sith Academy, Scourge learned to channel his emotions for strength. However, Scourge could also draw strength from gorging upon emotions of his opponents. Even before leaving the Sith Academy, Scourge had gained such level of proficiency in lightsaber dueling arts that his instructors also became reluctant to face him.

Scourge boasted an extremely impressive kill record; he slayed hundreds of Jedi and Sith during his lifetime.

Other talents
Scourge was exceptionally skilled in the field of torture and interrogation. He could break even strong-willed captives after some effort. However, even he found Revan as an impossible subject to break while interrogating him inside the stronghold of Nyriss.

Behind the scenes
Lord Scourge first appeared in Star Wars: The Old Republic: Revan, a novel written by Drew Karpyshyn as a tie-in to the video game Star Wars: The Old Republic. The novel presents the backstory for Scourge, who appears as a companion character for the Jedi Knight class in The Old Republic, and explains the motivations of both the Emperor and Scourge.

Scourge is voiced by Joseph Gatt in Star Wars: The Old Republic.
