"True power comes not from light or darkness, but from the mastery of both."

- JethLordMaster

Hi! I'm JethLordMaster, a Wookiepedian from California. I'm a major Star Wars fan and I'm well known in my area as the guy who knows the most about Star Wars around. There is very little about Star Wars I don't know about and I'm constantly adding to my EU knowledge! I think everyone agrees with me when I say that the new hardcover books are too expensive and, since I only buy paperbacks, we shouldn't have to wait so long for the softcover editions.

The JethLordMaster is the leader of the secret order of Force-users known as the Bai-Hei Order.

Early Life
Not much is known about the early life of the JethLordMaster. Many pieces of his past, such as his real name, have long since been forgotten. It is known however, that he was born on the planet Earth, located in an entirely different galaxy. Unknown to even himself, he possessed the power to manipulate the dimensional borders and an accidental outburst of this ability caused by near-death experience triggered a wormhole which pulled him into this galaxy, more specifically to Coruscant. Curiously, upon arriving in this galaxy, the midichlorians quickly took root in his body, bestowing him with immense ability of the Force. He witnessed the battle between the Coruscanti natives and the Taung, and as a test of his new powers, caused the eruption that turned the tide of the war.

Era of the Infinite Empire
After the Taungs' defeat, the LordMaster dropped out of history until the beginnings of the Infinite Empire. It is assumed (though not confirmed) that he underwent a long period of self-induced hibernation and meditation to think about his complete lapse of judgement in blatantly influencing history by helping the humans. This long hibernation preserved his body and allowed his abnormally long life. During this time, he learned to move objects, and himself instantaneously to another location with the Force, much like the Aing-Tii monks would learn to do many centuries later, and made contact with the Gree and the Columi, the latter volutarily creating a large host of clones for the LordMaster, making him all but immortal. The LordMaster came up with the Bai-Hei philosophy and vowed that he would devote his life to maintaining balance between light and darkness in the galaxy. He discreetly began gathering Force-sensitive beings from among the slaves of the Rakata, and trained them in the philosophy of the Bai-Hei, which was that one must master the light and dark aspects of the Force to know true power. Unfortunately, the Rakata discovered their existence, and began trying to exterminate such a threat to their power. Many warriors fell in those dark years, but before they could be driven to their extinction, the slaves, rallied by the brave Bai-Hei, rose up against their oppressors and fought back. The Rakatan plague soon destroyed the Infinite Empire and stripped them of the Force. The freed slaves believed that the severely weakened Bai-Hei warriors had gradually transitioned into society.

Xim the Despot Era
In truth, the Bai-Hei Order was far from defeated. The JethLordMaster used this belief to hide the Order from galactic view to prevent another disaster. This led to the rest of the galaxy believing the Order had been destroyed. Many of the slain warriors had already had clones made, and had their returned from death into new bodies.(The Reborn Emperor would use very similar technology to cheat death centuries later.) After secretly using the Star Forge to construct a massive fleet, the JethLordMaster and the remaining warriors established a territory deep in the edges of Wild Space to rebuild. They largely ignored the ongoing war between Xim the Despot and the Hutts seeing it as not needing any intervention.

Old Republic Era
As the Bai-Hei recovered, they watched in interest as the Republic developed. The JethLordMaster saw that the helping the Republic was the best way to keep balance in the galaxy, and didn't intervene in its formation. He also kept an eye on the Jedi, and after the schism, the Sith, who remained hidden to the rest of the galaxy. Seeing a valuable oppurtunity to study other Force-users, the JethLordMaster reincarnated into the body of a child and infiltrated the Jedi and then the Sith. It was during this time that scattered sightings of the Bai-Hei were seen around the galaxy. They became known as the JediSith, which gradually became the Jeth. He was disappointed however, when he found that, besides the lightsaber technology, the Jedi had very little to offer the Bai-Hei. He decided to return later when the Jedi had become stronger. The Sith, however, were much more powerful, and under Sith Lord Marka Ragnos, had developed many devastating powers. The LordMaster knew that under the leadership of Ragnos, the Sith could toss the galaxy out of balance and decided to intervene. He secretly challenged and killed Ragnos and looted the Sith Archives, stealing knowledge of all their powers and alchemy. The LordMaster also ensured that there were two to fight in Ragnos' place, which would further divide the Sith. Naga Sadow and Ludo Kressh would nearly tear the Sith apart with their fighting. The LordMaster also appointed a new Mandalore, who was actually a friend from Earth who was dragged with him through the wormhole. This new Mandalore went by Mandalore the Magnificient and lead the Mandalorians well before being returned to his home dimesion, despite an assassination attempt by HK-47. Upon returning to the Bai-Hei haven, the LordMaster taught the new Sith techniques to the Order and created an army of beasts (e.g. terentataks) to bolster the Jeth ranks. A group of warriors were against using the Sith magic, saying the Order was slipping too far into the dark and left, forming the Fallanassi. The LordMaster was content to let the Sith and the Jedi fight over the next few centuries confident that the Jedi would soon be strong enough to offer him something. He took great interest in the exploits of Revan, but was greatly disappointed when the Jedi were nearly wiped out by Darths Traya, Nihilus and Sion. He arranged for their deaths through the Jedi Exile, then sent her after Revan. Unfortunately, this severely weakened the dark side, threatening to tip the galaxy too far into the light, so the LordMaster strengthened the Sith once again by supporting Darth Bane. Although he lost, Bane would ensure the survival of the Sith in the future by creating the Rule of Two.

Fall of the Republic/Rise of the Empire Era
By this point, the Jedi had gained considerable powers, and the LordMaster decided it was time to infiltrate them again. He was greatly impressed by Yoda, and decided to test his loyalty to the Jedi Order. He created the cult which developed into the belief of the Potentium. While the Council was occupied, the LordMaster copied the Jedi Orders' Archives and disappeared with a wealth of knowledge. When the LordMaster found that the Chosen One had been born, he was puzzled. He had thought that the Bai-Hei Order was keeping the galaxy in perfect balance. He discreetly insured Anakin Skywalker made it to the Jedi by sabotaging the Naboo starship's engines so they would land on Tatooine. He was impressed by Anakin's role and the Battle of Naboo and even more so by his exploits in the Clone Wars. Unfortunately, the LordMaster did not forsee Palpatine's plot, and was too late to prevent Order 66. The Bai-Hei Order could do nothing but watch in horror as the Jedi were slaughtered by their own clone troopers, and the Sith once again threw the galaxy into the darkness. They debated whether they should confront Palpatine and stop the Empire, but ultimately decided that the risk of the galaxy turning against them was too great, and they slid back hiding once again. The Emperor knew of their existence and sent out massive searches for them, hoping to eradicate such a threat to his power. One attempt was the Katana Fleet, the the Bai-Hei weren't so easily surprised, and a team of sabouteurs released the hive virus into the fleet. After the incident the Emperor avoided Wild Space completely, fearing their power. The LordMaster saw the seeds of dissent in the Empire, and helped the Rebel Alliance in it's flegdling days, hoping that it would be able to overthrow the Empire one day.
