After engaging the small Republic force over Korriban, the Sith and Malgus boarded a shuttle, docked with the Republic's space station orbiting Korriban, and attacked two Jedi defenders&mdash;a Zabrak Master and his Human apprentice.

Biography
"Welcome home."

- Darth Malgus to his Sith Master

A male Pureblood Sith Master and Inquisitor served the Sith Empire during the early years of the Great Galactic War. In 3,681 BBY, the Sith Master and his apprentice Malgus joined the Empire's campaign to retake the planet Korriban, which, for one-thousand years, had been under Republic and Jedi control. The armada of thirty Imperial battlecruisers, with the Sith Master and Malgus, jumped to Korriban space and engaged the small Republic force that defended Korriban.

The Sith Master and Malgus departed the Imperial fleet and boarded a shuttle to dock with the Republic's space station orbiting Korriban. After landing in a hangar on the station, the Sith Master, with Malgus by side, spotted two Jedi&mdash;a Zabrak Jedi Master and his Padawan, Satele Shan&mdash;and confronted them. Using his double-bladed lightsaber, the Sith Master attacked the Jedi Master, while Malgus fought Shan. Nearby the Sith and Jedi Master, Malgus kneed Shan in the midsection of her waist, causing her to loose grip of her own double-bladed lightsaber. To stop the Sith Master's apprentice from killing Shan, the Zabrak Jedi Master threw his lightsaber at Malgus, nearly striking the Sith Master's head. Upon recovery, the Sith Master continued his advances against the Jedi Master, engaging the Zabrak in a swift flurry of swordplay before unleashing a volley of Force lightning at Shan.

After being Force pushed across the hangar by the Jedi Master, the Sith blasted lightning at an escaping smuggler's freighter&mdash;the vessel that the Jedi intended to use as transport off of the station. Shan boarded the departing freighter and left her Master behind to fight the Sith Master and Malgus alone. The Sith Master engaged the Zabrak once again, although with Malgus providing assistance this time. When the Sith unleashed lightning at the Zabrak, the Jedi Master was able to deflect it with his and Shan's lightsaber and reroute it toward Malgus. The Zabrak's two lightsabers also struck the right side of Sith Master's head, which lifted his helmet off his face and left a scar over his right eye. The Sith Master was incapacitated when the Jedi Master activated one of the ends of Shan's double-bladed weapon through his abdomen. With his Master injured, Malgus recovered from the Force lightning, took his Master's fallen double-bladed weapon, and engaged the Jedi Master before killing him. After killing the Jedi Master, Malgus walked over to his dying Master. After the two exchanged words, Malgus executed his Sith Master.

Personality and traits
The aggressive male Pureblood Sith had red skin and yellow eyes. His body was covered in black-colored robes and he wore a mask that covered his face. When the Sith Master did not stop the Jedi Master's apprentice from leaving the station, the Sith Master's apprentice, Malgus, dictated that he failed. Although, the Sith Master believed that it was only the beginning of the Sith's reemergence. Before killing his fallen Sith Master, Malgus welcomed him home, since Korriban was the ancient homeworld of the Sith.

Powers and abilities
As a Sith Master and Inquisitor, the Sith was skilled in the art of lightsaber combat and used a double-bladed lightsaber during his fight with a Zabrak Jedi Master in the Republic's Korriban space station. With his lightsaber, the Sith Master was also able to deflect a missile that was launched from a trooper's missile launcher. However, during their fight, the Sith Master failed to see the Zabrak Jedi's deactivated blade end which was pointed at his midsection. When the Jedi activated it, the lightsaber's blade stabbed the Sith Master.
