"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. He fled to the Unknown Regions, 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. 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, expanding it to cover the whole sector. 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
"Father, your time is over. Now I am the master"

- Darth Vatrir

In 45 BBY, Vatrir became the Master (leader) of the House Connor, replacing his corpulent father. House Connor was 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.



The Scarring of Zaydar
"Such an ornate lightsaber, so well crafted. Too bad you never use it."

- Darth Zaydar

Vatrir focused on his Force Powers, but this led him to disregard his lightsaber dueling. However, the duel in 11 ABY 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 like a ton of bricks. Zaydar, horribly scarred, was left for dead by Vatrir.

Lessons and Plots
"I now know what my mistakes are and I will learn from them"

- Darth Vatrir

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 Empire in his absence.

Abilities and Traits

 * Vatrir was a master of the Dark Side of the Force, unleashing overwhelmingly painful barrages of Force Lightning and 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 Vaapad. Vatrir has also mastered Makashi and Jar'Kai, although he rarely uses those styles. He owns several lightsabers of differing designs, some his own creation, others the former property of dead rivals.
 * Like Darth Sidious, Vatrir was had a genius-level intellect, and can demonstrate incredible patience. However, he prefers straight-foward methods and wants to get jobs done. So while he is capable of intricate schemes and can wait to see them out, he has little patience for them if there are easier or more effective methods.
 * 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.
