Darth Zyphus
"I believe that you are one of the best students in this academy, but even so, you are not Sith..."

- Uthar Wynn

Darth Zyphus (zi-fus), also known as Mercer, went from an orphan on Onderon to a fierce Mandalorian scout during the Mandalorian wars. After the first battle of Onderon the young orphan went with the Mandalorian Crusaders and spent 6 years with them when he adopted the name Mercer. He stayed with the Mandalorians untill the end of the war where a Jedi knight found him in a half destroyed base on Dxun. The Jedi sensed that he was force-sensitive and took him to Dantoonie where he was trained to be a jedi. He trained on Dantoonie for 5 years as the Republic won the war. He felt the need to return to his clan on Dxun, he had heard that remaining Jedi followed Revan to Korriban where they all fell to the dark side and thought that they would know where to find his Mandalorian clan. Mercer arrived on Korriban only to be captured and help prisoner in the Sith Academy. Uthar Wynn convinced him to turn to the dark side by telling him how the Jedi had massacred his clan. After hearing this Mercer deicided to stayed on Korriban to train as a sith warrior. Many years past untill he finally completed his training in 3,950 BBY under the teachings of Uthar Wynn. One day a jedi came to Korriban along with other companions looking for a star key and killed all the Sith except Mercer, and a few other survivors. Mercer became Darth Zyphus and swore that he would one day get revenge on the Jedi for destroying the Sith Academy.

He stayed with the Mandalorians as they invaded Onderon and watched as they destroyed their defenses and took control of the planet. During battles he helped his comrads by taking care of the supplies and making small explosives, it seemed to him that the Republic would fall and victory was close at hand. One day he overheard some men talking about the Republic's reinforcements, and how powerful they were. He found out that they were called Jedi, and that they where the Republic's last hope, he thought they where no match for the Mandalorians and thought that they would fall just as easy as the rest had before them. During the 2nd battle of Dxun, Mercer saw the jedi for the first time and all he could do was watch them fight in awe. He snapped out of his daze and ran into a bunker and thought how could the Jedi fight so well. As he stood in the bunker a loud explosion went off and through the yound boy across the room and knocked him out cold. All he saw was darkness and visions of his friends being cut down by the jedi untill he was pulled out of the rubble. As he opened his eyes he saw
