Galen Marek

Vader's apprentice was a Human male secretly taken as an apprentice by Darth Vader during the Great Jedi Purge. Vader hoped to use him to eventually overthrow Emperor Palpatine.

Though skilled with telekinesis and Force lightning, he was not officially considered a Sith apprentice, owing to the fact that the position was occupied by Vader himself. His existence was considered such a secret that he would make a point of leaving few witnesses to his work, even Imperial ones like stormtroopers.

Vader sent his apprentice to hunt down survivors of Order 66, including Shaak Ti, Kota, and Maris Brood. He was also sent to Felucia at one point.

He fell in love with Juno Eclipse, who flew his transport, Rogue Shadow.

This dark warrior is more likely the predecessor of Tao.
