(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.)

"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 also thinks that there should be a note on why Anakin Skywalkers first lightsaber and Darth Vaders first lightsaber look alike. Compare them. Same design, different size and alloy, but same design.
 * 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.

The Maverick's Memerable Quotes
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

As you can see, most of my favorite pics are very dark and disturbing.

Darth Vatrir
"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 a Feudal government. 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

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 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.

Side Effects


"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 studied and mastered Soresu and 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 Makashi and 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.

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 him. 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

In 9 BBY, a new house arose; House Shupenia. 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. However, he still took Sinitris's lightsaber.

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.

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, highly skilled in all the abilities listed below:
 * Force Lightning. Vatrir mastered this ability early on. He is able to summon such intense lightning that his targets clothing often catches fire.
 * Force Speed and Force Rage. Vatrir mastery of these abilities is such that he cannot be defeated in hand-to-hand combat except by someone equally or more skilled in these abilities.
 * Battle Meditation and Force Insanity. Having mastered these abilities to such a degree that he can affect other Force Sensitives, and drive enemies to their knees in fear.
 * Thought Bomb. In the thousand years since the Battle of Ruusan, the thought bomb technique has been perfected. Now it only requires on 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. Vatrir uses it to such a degree that he has maintained the youthful appearance and vitality of 35 years old despite being over 200+ years old.



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 combat style and hiring several 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 practices Form VII: Juyo/Vaapad, but has yet to master it.

Vatrir has nothing but disdain for Form IV: Ataru, it simply has too many flaws to be useful in a prolonged battle against another Force-Sensitive. Vatrir also dislikes Form I: Shii-Cho, feeling that it is now obselete.

Traits and Personality

 * Vatrir, like Darth Sidious, has a genius level intellect, incredible patience, and a huge amount of skill in the realms of engineering, Sith Alchemy and politics. One of his other, less known skills is an incredible resistance to telepathy. He is even cabable of causing a 'telepathic backlash', where anyone trying to exercise telepathy on him will have their attack backfired.


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


 * Vatrir's only major weakness is the fact that he is a sociopath. 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 and others, completely psychotic). Vatrir is also mildly paranoid and megalomaniacal.


 * Darth Vatrir, being raised in the ruling class of an empire made up almost entirely of Force-Sensitives, he views nonForce-Sensitives as inferior. In fact, he's so prejudiced that he sees them as little more than cattle. But other than this, he (and the rest of the Empire) have no racial or specieist bias what so ever.

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 Kevin, House Atreas, and House Carver.

His house has considerable political standing, being a prominent member of the Council of Masters, the ruling body of the Exile Empire. Vatrir's fiefdom is quite large. He has 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 but at a much lower rate.

Vatrir's Lightsaber Collection
Vatrir has defeated many rival Sith Lords in combat, collecting their lightsabers as trophies. However, he does count his own sabers as part of his collection, because he sees them as treasured feats of engineering. He keeps them in a high security display hall, in Force-augmented display cases mounted on pedistals.

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
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, 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.
