User:Darth Vatrir

Darth Bane was not the only surviver of the ancient Sith wars. There was one other. He fled to the Unknown Regions, claiming several apprentices along the way, and went into exile on an uncharted planet. The planet had a native race of force-sensitives, which he and his apprentices trained in the ways of the Sith. After he and his apprentices interbred with them, he taught his son to become Dark Lord of the Sith. As he was unaware of the survival of Darth Bane, he essentially remade the Sith Empire. This new empire was 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
Vatrir was the Master (leader) of the House Connor. House Connor was famed for some of the greatest Forceusers in the Empire, with some of the most advanced Sith Acadamies in existance.

The Scarring of Zaydar
Vatrir focused on his Force Powers, but this led him to disregard his lightsaber dueling. However, the duel between him and 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 like a ton of bricks. Zaydar, horribly scarred, was left for dead by Vatrir.

Lessons and Plots
Vatrir went into seclusion after the duel to recover and learn from his mistakes. He abandoned Niman as his duelling style and studied into a combination of Soresu and Djem So. His study into the forms caused him to develop a new doctrine; Fast on the defence, slow on the attack. 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 now sizable Sith Empire in his absence.

Abilities and Traits
Vatrir was a master of the Force, unleashing painful barrages of Force Lightning or the destructive power known commonly as Vader's Wrath, although he had never heard of Darth Vader. Mastering Soresu and Djem So, he created a combination of the two. Mixing the defensive velocity of Soresu with the strength and power of Djem So, he created one of the most powerful styles in existance. This style which he sadly has yet to name goes way beyond even Vapaad. Vatrir has also mastered Makashi and Jar'Kai, although he rarely uses those styles. Like Darth Sidious, Vatrir was had a genius-level intellect, and incredible patience. Vatrir also mastered how to use the Force to extend his own life, so despite being over 100 years old, he looks like a 35 year old.

Behind the Scenes
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.
