(I still have my Fanon bio, but I stuck it below this so first you get the stuff that you actually want or need to know.)

The Maverick
"Even for what he is, he is a maverick"

- Unknown

Darth Vatrir is the alter ego of a devoted (maverick) Star Wars fan from Canada. This maverick Canadian Fan is the creater of the site Sith Sanctom;, which (sadly) has yet to become popular. This maverick, due to his great video game experience considers himself a seasoned veteran of every major Galactic conflict except for the Sith Wars. The maverick also enjoys Lord of the Rings, Harry Potter, and Forgotten Realms, as well as Battlestar Galactica.

The maverick Vatrir also has a darker side to his personality. He is incredibly pessimistic, and always looks for the worst in people. This pessimism makes him an accomplished critic, but it also makes him incredibly glum and horrible to be around for long periods.

The maverick has plans to breath life back into the Starwars saga with a remake of the movies. This remake (which will probably end up as a miniseries) will retify all the flaws possible (bad acting, the prequel trilogies over-politicalization, lightsaber goofs, CG goofs in general, Plot inconsistantcies, Jar Jar Binks) and release them in chronological order.
 * Vatrir is pronounced as Va-Trear.
 * Vatrir also believes that resurecting Darth Sidious in Dark Empire was a stroke of brilliance.
 * Vatrir believes black bladed lightsabers exist.
 * Vatrir is slightly biased against Jedi in general because they can't seem to take a hint and disappear. The galaxy doesn't really need them any more yet they still come back for more. Really clever.
 * Vatrir really likes the Gallery of lightsaber hilts Hilts page and thinks who ever made it should be awarded.

Articles Created
This is about articles I created in the first place, not ones that I perfected.
 * Invisible Market (I created this one to get rid of a red link)
 * Gallery of Darth Maul images (I created this one because there wasn't one)
 * Gallery of Asajj Ventress images (see above)

The Maverick's Memerable Quotes and Philosophies
The Maverick has many quotes and philosophies, many of which contradict each other, but that is caused by his indesision. "The Dark Side of the Force is not evil. Its not all about fear, rage, or demonic bloodlust, as most think it is. Its about freedom. The reason it has such a bad reputation is because all the people who use it care only about themselves. They veiw everyone else as little more than cattle. To use the Dark Side safely, you do have to give a damn about yourself, and your own needs and desires, but do care about others."

- The Maverick Vatrir

"Power denied is power wasted, power indulged is power abused."

- The Maverick Vatrir

"While I support monarchies, you need to watch out on whose in charge. If its the right person, you thrive and prosper. If its the wrong person, monarchy becomes tyrany."

- The Maverick Vatrir

"I'm not a sheep, I don't follow the masses. When the leader sheep runs off a cliff and the others follow because they think its cool, I'm just going to sit back and laugh."

- The Maverick Vatrir

"The only paths worth taking are the ones frought with risk, because they offer the highest rewards. Such is the path of the Dark Side. Such is the path of love."

- The Maverick Vatrir

"Cities are a statement of humanity's arrogance and need for superiority. They display our unyielding desire to outdo anything and everything, including nature."

- The Maverick Vatrir

"Hockey is one of those games that is won ten minutes before the end, the rest is just grudge matches and fights."

- The Maverick Vatrir

"If I've got it, you dont'."

- The Maverick Vatrir

"What sort of psycho lightsaber-wielding jedi-killing maniac would have a saberstaff and not know how to use it?"

- The Maverick

My Code
This is my code, one that I created and follow. An effective composite of Jedi and Sith beliefs. I won't be explaining the ulterior meanings I take from it, because its fairly self-explanitory.

Peace is not a lie, it is only temporary.

There must always be conflict, it is unavoidable.

Cherish what you have today, for tomorrow you might not have it.

Form attachments and love, but don't let grief brought on by loss control you.

Do not deny and repress your anger, use it as a fuel, but hide it, its only polite.

Choose your fights, only pick a worthy cause.

Darth Vatrir (Fanon Biography)
"I AM VATRIR!"

- Darth Vatrir

"A sadistic genius who has seen over a century of conflict. Secretive and practically immortal in one way or another..."

- Deceased rival

Darth Bane was not the only surviver of the ancient Sith wars. There was one other. Lord Sinive, sensing the Thought Bomb fled Ruusan before its activation. Knowing that the Sith were about to be defeated, he fled to through Unknown Regions into one of the dwarf galaxies orbiting the primary one, claiming several apprentices along the way, and went into exile on an uncharted planet. This planet, which would eventually be named Sithis Prime, had a native race of force-sensitives, which he and his apprentices trained in the ways of the Sith. Claiming the title Darth, Sinive made himself leader of this race. After Darth Sinive and his apprentices eventually interbred with them, he taught his son to become Dark Lord of the Sith. As Sinive was unaware of the survival of Darth Bane, he essentially remade the Sith Empire, expanding it to control the entire dwarf galaxy. This new empire eventually developed into a feudal meritocratic oligarchy, and enacted the controlled infighting philosopy. In the eyes of a Sith, the perfect balance of conflict and stability, ensuring development and survival. After thousands of years of training and adapting, the Exile Empire created two ultimate Sith Lords; Darth Zaydar and Darth Vatrir, the greatest masters of the dark teachings.

Heritage of Vatrir
"Father, your time is over. Now I am the master"

- Darth Vatrir



Darth Vatrir was the heir to House Connor, and after murdering his corpulent, decadent (morbidly obese) father in 45 BBY, and with the support of House Connor's military, he ascended to leadership.

House Connor, one of the most prominent houses in the Empire, controller of Sithis Prime, the birthplace of the Exile Empire. Also famed for some of the greatest Forceusers in the Empire, with some of the most advanced Sith Acadamies in existance. They also performed some of the greatest, most advanced Sith Alchemy ever, created hordes of obediant monsters and altering metals to make them even stronger. They were also known for the development for some of the most powerful, long lasting synth-crystals.

The Civil War
"Conflict is required to develop, but there is a point when it also threatens your survival. That was what the Civil War did..."

- Darth Vatrir



With the Exile Empire being fuedal, there was always a small conflict going on between houses. But in 19 BBY, the constant on-and-off hostiliy between House Connor and House Corbin escalated to a full scale war. A huge conflict over 20 years long that endangered the existance of the Empire. Several of its member worlds were laid waste and twelve houses destroyed or conquered. Vatrir and Zaydar, the leaders the two opposing factions in the war knew that the war had to stop or at least reach a lull. In 11 ABY, Vatrir challanged Zaydar to single combat, the winner would be declared victor of the war.

The Scarring of Zaydar
"Such an ornate lightsaber, so well crafted. Too bad you never use it."

- Darth Zaydar refering to Darth Vatrir's Lightsaber.

The duel between them took place on Garost IV, in the ruins of one of Vatrir's former estates. Garost IV was one of the only neutral grounds in the entire war. In his previous century of existances, Vatrir focused on his Force Powers, but this led him to disregard lightsaber combat, so he had only a basic understanding of Form VI: Niman. However, the duel between him and Darth Zaydar taught each of them valuble lessons.

Zaydar, unlike Vatrir focused on his dueling skills and disregarded his Force Powers. In the duel, Zaydar's mastery of Juyo initially gave him the upper hand. Disarming Vatrir, he prepared to give the killing blow, but Vatrir unexpectantly unleashed a huge wave of Force Lightning that hit Zaydar with such force and energy that his clothes caught fire. Zaydar had to endure much pain as he burned in his own robes and was seared by more and more Lightning. Horribly scarred and left for dead by Vatrir, he swore vengeance. Thus the Civil War ended, with House Connor as the victor.

Aftermath


"The war brought wealth to many..."

- Slain Rival

The war may have been a devasting conflict, but it also brought about several good things. The Base Delta Zero bombing of the planet Centivus Prime revealed many valuble minerals beneath the surface. As large portions of the surface re-solidified, several mining facilities were constructed on them. Another good thing was that all the weapons research during the war was applied to several other field, allowing technology to advance about ten years ahead of time.

Lessons and Plots
"I now know what my mistakes are and I will learn from them"

- Darth Vatrir

"You have learned quickly, Lord Vatrir"

- Vatrir's Djem So instructor.

Vatrir went into seclusion after the wars end to recover and learn from his mistakes in the duel against Zaydar. He abandoned Niman as his duelling style and recruited some of the greatest blademasters in the Empire to teach him their craft. With their aid, he discovered he was a gifted duelist, studying and mastering Form III: Soresu and Form V: Shien / Djem So, eventually developing a deadly combination of the two. His study into the forms caused him to develop a new doctrine; Fast on the defence, slow on the attack. He also studies and mastered Form II: Makashi and Form X: Jar'Kai, although he rarely used those forms. He rewarded the trainers with death. "I still live..."

- Darth Zaydar

When Vatrir found out that Zaydar was still alive, Zaydar was preaching that it was now time to return to the galaxy at large on a path of conquest. Vatrir became intruiged with Zaydar's plan, but ultimately decided he would leave the conquest to Zaydar and take full control of the Exile Empire in his absence. While Zaydar spent the next century gaining the support of the Empire for his endevour, Vatrir plotted in secret to take full control. Without Zaydar to interupt his plans, the Council would quickly flock to his dark banner.

Challanges
Over the course of the next two years, Vatrir would be challanges by several Sith Lords as well as one thing Vatrir never thought he would see; a Jedi.

Betrayal
"I'm tired of the constant war with House Corbin. We need fresh blood, and Vatrir and his line will just leave us in a deadlock with them forever."

- Darth Sarmue

In 10 BBY, the renegade Sith Lord; Darth Sarmue attempted to usurp control of House Connor. Recruiting some of Vatrir's bodyguards, he prepared to assassinate Vatrir and stage a coup. Allowed in by Vatrir's bodyguards, Sarmue arrogantly marching into Vatrir's estate followed by a small army. Expecting to assassinate Vatrir in his bed, they were surprised to find Vatrir still awake, sitting on his throne as if waiting for them. "To execute a coup, you'll have to do a lot better than that. That pathetic attempt at one was an insult to usurpers everywhere."

- Darth Vatrir

Vatrir revealed that he knew all about the coup, and he let it play out simply because he wanted to see the look of surprise on Sarmue's face. The enraged Darth Sarmue charged Vatrir, but Vatrir effortlessly defeated and killed him without hesitation. The army, surprised by Vatrir's bladework, were hesitant to attack him, even all at once. Vatrir personally executed all his treacherous bodyguards for their actions, adding their identical lightsabers to his collection along with Darth Sarmue's.

Darth Sinitris


"Vatrir and House Connor have ruled for too long, its time for a change."

- Darth Sinitris

During the war, the infamous founding house Shupenia was destroyed, and its fiefdoms claimed or razed.

But in 9 BBY, House Shupenia rose from the ashes of its defeat, eager for revenge. Led by the upstart Darth Sinitris, it made a vie for power. Sinitris challenged Vatrir to single combat, the winner would take control of the others house. Vatrir accepted. "I think I'll let you live, so you can develope your skills so you might actually present a reasonable challange."

- Darth Vatrir

The duel took place on Horla Ompnor, in the cities main square. The fight was long and hard, with both displaying marvelous bladework. But despite Sinitris's mastery of Ataru and Juyo, he fell before Vatrir's Form III and V combination. Held at blade-point, Sinitris was surprised when Vatrir spared him and left him with control of his house. Vatrir explained that he only takes a dead mans possessions. When asked why he didn't kill Sinitris, he said it was because he forgot to give Sinitris his chance to flee, and he wanted to see what Sinitris could turn the new House Shupenia into. However, he still took Sinitris's lightsaber.

Psychotic Enemy
"I have slain Darth Botsir, and Darth Vatrir is next"

- Lord Psykoe's declaration.

The only time Darth Vatrir was EVER genuinly afraid of anything was in 8 BBY when he was marked for death by Lord Psykoe. Psykoe was an infamous killer, aptly named for his unstable mental state. The only Sith Lord other than Darth Zaydar to come even remotely close to killing Vatrir. Using his mastery of Dark Side concealment techniques, Psykoe was able to enter Vatrir's estate and avoid detection. Fortunately for Vatrir, Psykoe's reputation worked against him. "I will not be slain by you!"

- Darth Vatrir

"Yes, you will. You can't kill me, NO ONE can kill me."

- Lord Psykoe

Upon finding out that he was on Psykoe's hit-list, Vatrir was paranoid and on edge, not even able to relax. So when Psykoe walked into his room, Vatrir was awake and expecting him. Not even bothering to taunt Psykoe or attempt to reason with him as Vatrir usually did, the two engaged in a furious Lightsaber duel, with Psykoe using his characteristic personalization of Lus-ma. Vatrir barely won, stabbing Psykoe through the chest just before Psykoe would have decapitated him. Exhausted, Vatrir claimed Psykoe's blue-bladed lightsaber for his collection and was finally able to rest.

However, Psykoe's body disappeared before it could be disposed of, leaving Vatrir to wonder if he is dead.

Dusarrd


"All right, BRING IT ON!"

- Lord Dusarrd

Lord Dusarrd, the power-hungry, cunning Master of House Duncan, a master of Saberstaff Combat, a crazed warlord who went on an unstoppable rampage during the war, instead of taking sides, he ravaged both factions. Hoping to expand his own sizable fiefdom, he challanged Vatrir, despite the fact that it was common knowledge that Vatrir had defeated Lord Psykoe, the most vicious Sith Lord the empire had ever seen.

"Too easy"

- Darth Vatrir using Dun Möch against Dusarrd.

The battle was an unparelled display of ferocity and Lightsaber Combat mastery. Both Vatrir and Dusarrd were hard pressed, trapped in a deadlock, no possibility of surrender or mercy. The battle continued on for hours on end, until Dusarrd took a risk. Using the last of his energy, he leapt over Vatrir, meaning to drive him to the ground, but Vatrir anticipated this and destroyed Dusarrd's Saberstaff while he jumped. Dusarrd knew he couldn't win unarmed against this highly skilled opponent and fled. Vatrir claimed Dusarrd's Saberstaff and added it to his collection.

The Sith Brothers
"You are...magnificent, fighter. But your arrogance will be your undoing."

- Darth Horla

"We are the harbringers of doom. You cannot destroy us."

- Darth Grenidar

Darth Horla and Darth Grenidar, two Sith Lords bound by a bloodlust, decided to challange Vatrir in a two-on-one battle to the death. Vatrir accepted and they met on Sithis Prime in a combat arena. Despite their feroscity and aggressive masteries of Juyo and Djem So, they could not defeat Vatrir. After disarming them, Vatrir slew them both slowly and painfully with Force Lightning. Claiming their weapons for his collection, he casually left the arena, with the smoking, charred corpes of Darth Horla and Darth Grenidar left as a grisly warning of what happened to those who challanged him.

"You said I could not destroy you, I believe I just did."

- Vatrir to the corpes of Horla and Grenidar

Jedi
"What is a Jedi doing this far into the darkness, I wonder. Flee, if you value your life."

- Darth Vatrir

"So you are the one they call Vatrir. Its a shame you were born to the Dark Side, you could have been one of our Order's brightest lights."

- The Jedi

In 8 BBY, one of the Jedi attempting to flee the Purge had a malfunction in her fighters hyperdrive ring that deposited her in the Fuedal Sith Empire. Crash-landing on Sithis Prime, one of the first beings she encountered was Darth Vatrir. Before challenging her, Vatrir demanded to know why a Jedi was in the Sith Empire. Once he learned all he wanted to know, the two engaged in a furious Lightsaber duel. The Jedi was doomed from the start. Although she held her own for most of the duel with her mastery of Ataru, in the end she fell to Vatrir's Djem So and Soresu combo. Losing all her limbs, the Jedi gave Vatrir a vision of what he could have been had he not been born into the Sith. As Vatrir gave the killing blow and added her lightsaber to his collection, he pondered on what he could have been...

Marriage
"You actually make me feel...happy."

- Vatrir to Lady Blackraven

Marriage was permitted by the Empire, but it usually happened for political reasons. Very rarely did the couple actually 'love' or even like the other. But at a Council meeting, Vatrir met the woman he came the closest to loving. Lady Blackraven, the new Mistress of House Tysande. She returned his feelings, but they both understood that if they had to, they would kill the other without hesitation. In 5 BBY, they married. House Tysande was taken over by Blackraven's younger brother while she moved to Vatrir's estate on Sithis Prime.

Holocron
In 0 BBY, Darth Vatrir decided to find out what has happened to the galaxy at large. Taking his private skiff, he journeyed into the galaxy and discovered the Galactic Empire, ruled by Darth Sidious. Instead of making contact with Sidious and finding out what had happened during the last thousand years since Ruusan, he decided to avoid contact with him, at least for now.



Travelling to Korriban, entered one of the ancient Sith temples. As all the surviving Sith Spirits sensed his presense, they all bowed down to his awesome power. Vatrir then proceeded to loot the temple, taking all the ancient Sith artifacts, weapons, and holocrons, as well as making careful copies of the ancient runic symbols and writings on the wall. As he left, he destroyed the temple with the Force, before enslaving the Sith Spirits into his eternal service.

"How dare you disobey the Rule of Two!"

- Darth Bane

"What is the Rule of Two, explain it to me. Please, I'm interested."

- Darth Vatrir

Once he returned to the Exile Empire, he proceeded to unload and examine all the Sith weapons and artifacts he found. Among the loot, he found a holocron that once belonged to Darth Bane. Unlocking it, he engaged in a lengthy debate with the Holocron guardian/spirit of Bane. Bane chastised him for not adhering to the Rule of the Two, with Vatrir responding that he had never heard of the Rule of the Two, as Lord Sinive had fled Ruusan before Bane brought about the destruction of the Brotherhood of Darkness. He then explained to Bane the history of the Exile Empire, and how it survived. Bane remained resentful.

Seeds of Rebellion
"We are decaying, stagnating. We must change."

- Anonymous Sith Lord

In 2 ABY, the citizens of the Exile Empire realized something. Despite the semi-constant conflict that acted as a culling, their Empire was stagnating. In the last thousand years, nothing had changed, and the current leadership wasn't going to change anything. Vatrir realized this too, and started secretly fostering rebellion. He knew that he might die in the ensueing uprising, but he knew the uprising would work to the betterment of the Sith.

Unfortunately, Vatrir's old rival, Zaydar saw what was happening, saw his opportunity, and like any self-respecting Sith Lord, he started manipulating events to work to his advantage.

Uprising
"It happened so fast, there was no way we could have prepared."

- A Sith survivor

In 3 ABY, the uprising began. All at once, the citizens of the Empire arose in a carefully planned and organized rebellion. They attacked and sacked the fortresses of several nobles. Eight houses were destroyed less than an hour after the uprising. The Empire was in chaos.

Despite Vatrir's preparations for the uprising, such as storing his Sith artifacts, weapons and his prized Lightsaber collection in secret vaults on the moon of Sithis Prime, he was still caught off guard by the speed of it.



His estate was sacked and his armies were left disorganized, unable to mount a proper counter-attack. Lady Blackraven was slain in the chaos, leaving an enraged Vatrir to flee for his life. As he fled, he was attacked by a small force of Sith Assassins sent by Zaydar. Defeating all of them, Vatrir learned that Zaydar and several other nobles had joined the rebellion and Zaydar had ascended to leadership.

Exile
"I must wait, for now..."

- Vatrir, cast down and exiled.

When Vatrir fled, all his treasures remaining in his estate were claimed or destroyed by the Rebellion, including his skiff. Thusly, he couldn't get off Sithis Prime for he was now a wanted man. Fleeing into the wastes of Sithis, he went into hiding and began plotting a return to power.

Splintering and Search
"What battles? There were no battles, only endless raids"

- Darth Signis

In 4 ABY, the Rebellion, which had finally defeated or converted all its enemies, splintered from infighting. Many factions formed, with Sithis Prime the main battleground, although it was happening on other worlds in the what was left of the Empire. The majority of the combat was guerilla warfare in the wilds of the planet.



One faction set themselves up in the wastes. Their leader, the part-Zabrak Lady Darth Katan realized that they needed one thing that could help them win this new civil war, Darth Vatrir, the former master of the destroyed House Connor. Seeking him out in the Spike-Rock monument, the most remote, dangerous area of the wastes, they found him.

"We need you."

- Darth Katan

"Why should I help you? Give me a good reason."

- Vatrir

Darth Vatrir, having forseen that he would searched for, had simply waited. After a brief battle with the part-Zabrak, Vatrir was inticed by Darth Katan into allying with their faction. But he did so on one condition, he would take leadership of the Empire if they successfully rebuilt it.

Counterattack


"We are taking back what is ours. What is MINE!"

- Darth Vatrir, returned from exile.

In 5 ABY, the Rebellion faction, now co-commanded by Vatrir and Katan counter-attacked. Using effective guerilla tactics as well as several Sith Alchemic beasts created by Vatrir, they waged a long, brutal hit-and-run struggle against several other factions on Sithis Prime. They reclaimed the looted remains of Vatrir's estate and used it as a headquarters. By 6 ABY they controlled over half the planet.

Eventually, word of them reached Darth Zaydar. Zaydar was livid, knowing that Vatrir was a major threat to his considerable power (Zaydar controlled the largest splinter of the rebellion). Vatrir had to be eliminated.

Sinitris
"I'm alive. Oh, can I have my old lightsaber back, this new one just doesn't feel right."

- Darth Sinitris

"Umm... no."

- Darth Vatrir

In 6 ABY, Darth Vatrir found one of the last people he ever expected to see; Darth Sinitris. Sinitris revealed that during the uprising, his House Shupenia was one of the last to fall. With his armies and estates destroyed, Sinitris decided that he would find revenge, so he went to Sithis Prime to take part in the guerilla wars. Sinitris then agreed to ally with Vatrir as long as he could regain the power he lost.

Old Ememy


"I want Vatrir's head on a platter!"

- Zaydar

In 7 ABY, Vatrir led a violent and vicious counter-attack. Summoning several Force Storms, he proceeded to lay waste to Zaydar's stronghold on the planet. However, the energy taken to fuel the storms caused the Midichlorian Manipulation that had kept Vatrir young for so long to slip. Vatrir withered to the appearance and physic of a 50 year old. Zaydar, seeing his chance entered the battlefield and attacked Vatrir.

Despite Vatrir's diminished physical ability, he was still able to hold his own against Zaydar, but knowing he couldn't do so for much longer, he grudgingly fled. The Force Storms continued to devour Zaydar's stronghold before eventually dissipating.

Near Disaster


"My body is dying. But I prepared for this."

- Vatrir

The Midichlorian Manipulation that Vatrir used to stay young also served another, more important task. It stopped the corruption of the Dark Side from withering and killing him. When he temporarily lasped the Manipulation to summon the energy for the Force Storms, the decay was able to take root.

The decay forced Vatrir to do one thing he hoped never to do, but he had no choice. Already withered to the point where he could barely stand, he returned to his ruined estate and decended into the catacombs beneath. In a high security secret vault in the caverns, he had built a cloning lab. In it were twelve cloning tanks, all holding a 20 year old clone of Vatrir in stasis.

Performing a Spirit transference, he left his dying body and entered one of his clones. Breaking out of the tank, he summoned his lightsaber to him and swore to bring Zaydar and the remnant of House Corbin to destruction.

Second Counter Attack


Shortly after returning in a clone body, Vatrir set about gathering all the allies he could. Mending most of the rebellion that had splintered after the uprising, he quickly merged them all into a massive army and prepared to strike. Zaydar, with his armies still disorganized from Vatrir's earlier assault, would be a relatively weaker foe.

They stormed and destroyed Zaydar's stronghold. However, Zaydar had one surprise kept in store. Jumping out of hyperspace and moving into geocentric orbit above what remained of Zaydar's stronghold, it commenced orbital bombings, using Force-guided warheads to cover Zaydar's retreat.

But Vatrir summoned another Force Storm and destroyed it. Challanging Zaydar, the two engaged in one final battle to the death. Two black shadows battling each other. All that could be seen was the fiery red glow of Vatrir's bloodshine blade and the eerie dark-purple glow of Zaydar's black shadowblade.

In the end, Vatrir bested Zaydar, stabbing him through the heart. As Zaydar fell to the ground, dying, he removed his mask and stared at Vatrir one last time with a mocking expression on his face. Summoning the last reserves of his energy, Zaydar spat at Vatrir and promptly expired.

Abandonment
Vatrir, feeling exhausted by the constant struggles in the Empire and no longer interested in power, abandonned the empire. Deciding to leave the Sith under more capable leadership, he gave the reins to Sinitris and departed. No one knows what became of Darth Vatrir, the most powerful Sith Lord ever...

Powers and Abilities
"What do all men with power want?"

- Darth Horla

Darth Vatrir was an absolute master of the Dark Side of the Force, however, he favored all the abilities listed below:
 * Force Lightning. Vatrir mastered this ability early on. He was able to summon such intense lightning that his target's clothing often caught fire. His aptitude in Force Lightning was such that he was easily able to master Force Storm (lightning).
 * Force Speed and Force Rage. Vatrir mastery of these abilities is such that he couldn't be defeated in hand-to-hand combat save by someone with equal or greater skill in these abilities.




 * Battle Meditation and Force Insanity. Having mastered these abilities to such a degree that he was able affect other Force Sensitives, and drive enemies to their knees in fear.
 * Dominate Mind. Vatrir was a masterful practitioner of this technique, even able to take over the mind of a fellow Sith Lord.
 * Force Storm (wormhole). Vatrir was a powerful practitioner of this ability, using it to lay waste to entire planets, as well as transport materials or capture prisoners.
 * Force Destruction
 * Thought Bomb. In the thousand years since the Battle of Ruusan, the thought bomb technique has been perfected. Now it only requires one person to perform and can be selective.
 * Midichlorian Manipulation. While Darth Plagueis may be hailed as the pioneer of this ability, it was already in widespread use in the Exile Empire. Darth Vatrir used it to such a degree that he was able to maintain the youthful appearance and vitality of 35 years old despite being over 200+ years old.
 * Dun Möch. Vatrir made frequent use of this technique, psychologically attacking his opponents, driving them into rages, which he quickly exploited.
 * Flow Walking. Vatrir was a masterful practitioner of the Flow Walking technique. He used it to discover secrets.
 * Spirit transference. Although he hoped never to perform this ability, he was well versed in its use.

Darth Vatrir also practised several Light Side abilities to give himself an edge over other Sith Lords.
 * Force Combustion
 * Force Deflection and Force Absorb.
 * Battlemind.
 * Force Valor.



Vatrir initially had very little skill with the lightsaber, having only a basic understanding of Form VI, focusing on his Force Powers instead. But his duel against Darth Zaydar taught him a good lesson. Abandoning Niman as his main combat style and hiring several renouned/infamous Sith Blademasters to teach him their craft, he quickly learned. He mastered all the forms listed below:
 * Form II: Makashi
 * Form III: Soresu
 * Form V: Shien / Djem So
 * Form X: Niman / Jar'Kia

Vatrir also practiced Form VII: Juyo/Vaapad, but had yet to master it.

Vatrir had nothing but disdain for Form IV: Ataru, feeling it simply had too many flaws to be of use in a prolonged battle against another Force-Sensitive, which he was in nine times out of ten. Vatrir disliked as well Form I: Shii-Cho, feeling that it is obselete. Vatrir was also able to battle with the Saberstaff and has mastered all the style variations of Saberstaff Combat.

Vatrir was a master of Teräs Käsi, often applying moves from it to his lightsaber combat, allowing him to become an incredibly swift, unpredictable, precise and powerful duelist, combat artist, and an infamous Blademaster.

Traits and Personality

 * Vatrir, like Darth Sidious, had a genius level intellect, incredible patience, and a huge amount of skill in the realms of engineering, Lightsaber Combat, Sith Alchemy and politics. One of his other, less known skills was an incredible resistance to telepathy. He was even cabable of causing a 'telepathic backlash', where anyone trying to exercise telepathy on him would have their attack backfired. However, Vatrir was a horrible pilot, due to his severe motion-sickness.


 * Despite all of Vatrir's pent up rage and hate, he still retained some compassion. He was a fair fighter with a sense of honor, never 'cheating' unless necessary, always giving opponents the chance to flee, and giving worthy opponents quick deaths. For a Sith Lord, he had a vague semblance to mercy in his actions, but will kill without hesitation. He was also one of the few Sith who felt anything even remotely close to love, as shown by his feelings to his late wife.


 * Vatrir's only major weakness were his sociopathic disorders. When Darth Sinive and his various apprentices crossbred with the race of Sithis Prime, all the children sired, while incredibly powerful with the Force, had brain chemistry imbalances that made them all Sociopaths (or in the case of Lord Dussard, Lord Psykoe and others, completely psychotic). Vatrir also suffered from mild paranoia and megalomania, but was ultimately a utilitarian and minimalist.


 * Darth Vatrir, being raised in the ruling class of an empire made up almost entirely of Force-Sensitives, he viewed nonForce-Sensitives as inferior. In fact, he was so prejudiced that he saw them as little more than worthless cattle. But other than this, he (and the rest of the Empire) had no racial, gender or specieist bias to speak of.


 * Whilst Vatrir is completely addicted to the Dark Side of the Force and has no hope of renouncing it completely, he was not totally bound to selfishness and powerthirst as most Sith Lords were. He did work for his own gain but his ultimate goal was the perpetuation and betterment of the Sith Order as a whole.

Political Power


Darth Vatrir was the master (leader) of House Connor, one of the Six Founder houses. The Six Founders are House Connor, House Corbin, House Hector, House Shupenia, House Atreas, and House Carver.

His house had considerable political standing, being a prominent member of the Council of Masters, the former ruling body of the Exile Empire. Vatrir's fiefdom was quite large. He had control of Sithis Prime, the birthplace of the Empire, and one of the largest armies in the Empire. He was in a constant on-and-off interhouse war with House Corbin, led by his rival; Zaydar. The interhouse conflict between him and Zaydar eventually sparked off the Civil War. After the war, the conflict continued until the uprising but at a much lower rate.

House Connor had a flourishing industry in Sith Alchemy and Synth-crystal manufacturing, making it one of the wealthiest Houses in the Exile Empire.

Vatrir's Lightsaber Collection
Vatrir has defeated many rival Sith Lords in combat, collecting their lightsabers as trophies. However, he did count his own weapons as part of his collection, seeing them as treasured feats of engineering. Before the Uprising, he kept them in a high security display hall, in Force-augmented display cases mounted on pedistals. Now, the collections last known location was in a vault on Sithis Prime's moon, but when a team was sent to retreive them, they had disappeared along with Vatrir. It can only be guessed that he took his collection with him when he left.

Darth Vatrir also possesses a random number of lightsabers from his treacherous bodyguards, all of which he slew himself.

My Interpretation of the Sith Code
This is my interpretation of the Sith Code, the meanings that I take from it.

Peace is a lie, there is only passion.

Its true, flip on the news and you'll see. Peace is a lie. And its true that there is only passion, many of these wars are started by passions. But I don't agree with the Sith in cutting love out of the passion list, its just as if not more important than all the others.

Through passion, I gain strength.

Its true, you allow your passions to drive you and they allow you to further youself and gain strength, they push you forth to the next accomplishment, bringing you closer to perfection, your desires and ultimately, happiness.

Through strength, I gain power.

Its true, the stronger you get, the more power you get, both mentally and physically, allowing you to push yourself further and control things before they control you.

Through power, I gain victory.

Its true, with power, your chances of victory are substantially increased. Not just victory where you prove your superiority, but victories where you better yourself, such as losing weight if your fat, learning a new skill, etc...

Through victory, my chains are broken.

True, each victory brings you closer to complete freedom, complete control over your life, the only worthwhile goal that does and ever will exist.

The Force shall free me.

The ultimate goal of mine is freedom without responsibility. The ability to do what I want when I want, with no restrictions or consequences what so ever on or for my actions. I believe that should be the ultimate goal of ALL living creatures.
