Darth Tenebrous

"Go to your grave knowing that you are last of the old order, the vaunted Rule of Two, and that the new order begins now and will for a thousand years remain in my control." "Then for the last time I call you apprentice and I applaude your skillful use of surprise and misdirection. Perhaps I was wrong to think you had no stomach for it."

- Darth Plagueis and Darth Tenebrous

Darth Tenebrous was a Male Bith Dark Lord of the Sith, possesed of an impressive, calculating intellect that he used to fascilitate his obsession with shaping the future. He was the Sith Master of the Muun Darth Plagueis and observed the Rule of Two. In the style of many Sith Lords throughout history, Tenebrous's name included the Darth title. At some point, Tenebrous and his pupil traveled to Boldemnick. There, Through subterfuge Tenebrous thought beyond his pupil, Plagueis brought his master to the brink of death. After they spoke for some time, with Tenebrous expressing his dissappoint at the revelation that Plagueis's plan to kill his master had endangered the contuation of the Sith by stranding the Muun where he required an enviro-suit to survive, Plagueis broke the Bith's neck. As the unconcious Tenebrous slowly died, Plagueis then utilized the Force to study microscopic changes in Tenebrous's body, observing his neurons cease firing and his midi-chlorians die out one by one.

Behind the scenes
Darth Tenebrous's name was included in a 2006 blog entry by Leland Chee, the keeper of the Holocron continuity database, marking the character's only mention in Star Wars canon. Chee stated that Tenebrous's name may have been derived from the word "tenebrous," a word meaning dark, gloomy, or obscure. In 2008, author James Luceno indicated that if he were able to, he would choose "Darth Tenebrous" as the name of the first Sith to ever use the Darth title. Tenebrous is set to appear in Luceno's 2012 novel, Star Wars: Darth Plagueis as the Master of Darth Plagueis.
