Sorzus Syn

Sorzus Syn was a female Jedi who was exiled from the Jedi Order, following the Hundred-Year Darkness. Sorzus Syn and her fellow Dark Jedi enslaved the native Sith of Korriban, christened themselves the first of the Sith Lords, and instituted a new order that centered around worship and practice of the dark side of the Force.

During her reign, Syn wrote a journal that was later included in the Book of Sith: Secrets from the Dark Side, which was a chronicle of her encounters with Sith Purebloods, explorations in alchemy, and the foundations of the Sith Order. She apparently also was the original author of the Sith Code.

Revenge against the Jedi
"Life itself was in our services"

- Sorzus Syn

Once a former Jedi, she fled from the Jedi Order because the Jedi Council didn't agree with its connection to the Galactic Republic. She exiled herself and joined a group of exiled Jedi to overthrow the Jedi Council during the Hundred-Year Darkness. There, they became Dark Jedi and believed that their skills would stand in their service against the Jedi. Learning the power of sith alchemy, Syn increased her skills of and became one of the top commanders in the Exiles. When she drew her inspiration, she developed a composition of her earlier experiments, the Leviathan, which could break the barricades of the Jedi during a battle on Balmorra. The reluctance of the Jedi, against powerful techniques was a confirmation that the Exiles want and their goal was to wipe out all the Jedi and lead them into extinction. However, Sorzus Syn was one of the survivors of the Battle of Corbos, in which they and their allies were defeated by a number of Jedi Knights.

In the belief that the dark side would be wiped out, the survivors fled from the Jedi for their treason against the Galactic Republic. They embarked on a ship that brought them into the unexplored outer edge of the galaxy.

Exile on Korriban
"I am not a Sith. I do not share their blood."

- Sorzus Syn

During the war, Syn collected rumors and information from refugees without any evidence that the Kingdom of the Sith existed and it would pose a special knowledge of the dark side. Therefore, she and the survivors steered the ship to the unknown, in which they could survive the guidance of power, and made sure that the Jedi or the Republic would not follow them.

After arriving on Korriban, homeworld of the pureblood sith, they landed in the Valley of the Sleeping King. The Exiles were greeted by the species, and regarded them, including Syn, as gods, when they were intrigued by their exceptional abilities. Along with Ajunta Pall, the High General of the Exiles, Syn and the other Dark Jedi were raised to the shadowy hands when Hakagram Graush claimed the throne as king of the ancestral blood heritage Ada itself. In addition to their army, the Dark Jedi were thus the possibility of the untapped wealth of knowledge about the dark side's power.

During the first months after their arrival, the Dark Jedi developed as one of the rulers of the primitive natives, known as "Jen'jidai". Sorzus decided to create her first diary, titled "exile and arrival", and wrote the events after their defeat against the Jedi. In her own view about the arrival of the Dark Jedi and the triumph of the Sith, Syn was hoping for her own everlasting dominion, as it is the only legitimate ruler of the Sith. She had the curiosity to translate the mysteries of the dark side to the greater good for the First Order of the Sith. She took the Sith, their worlds, and the treasures of their culture to understand for the new future.

Exploring the dark side
"Sith alchemists had years to perfect their craft. Your knowledge is now mine."

- Sorzus Syn

Shortly afterwards, the Sith worlds and hyperspace routes were mapped by the Dark Jedi. On the throne of the planet Ziost, the Dark Jedi built their own palaces and formed a Sith Council under the leadership of Ajunta Pall. However, Syn foresaw, that his reign would not last long. In the following years, she presented various experiments that were brought in their goal of creating a special artifact of the Sith Lords. She was fascinated by the Sith amulets she began to learn that many artifacts in the graves were lost on Korriban. Having the Abbatars to use the language they learned from the sith, it was commissioned by Karness Muur to produce a talisman for him. However, Syn suffered the creation of the artifact, and planned to produce several talismans. While she wanted to produce for Muur and Dreypa, the third and most powerful amulet would remain in their possession. They also found out that the Sith's blood was similar to their own, so Syn was able to understand about the manipulation of the dark side.

After the Dark Jedi had settled on Ziost, Syn returned with a group of priests and slaves back to Korriban to open the sealed tombs. In the entrance of the monastery of nasty torture, they lost about two slaves before they could penetrate to the sarcophagus inside the temple. At the end of the seventh day they entered the sanctuary of Sakkra-piano, which had been sealed for nearly 10,000 years, it would no longer open. In addition to the scrolls through Sith alchemy, Syn found the Sith holocron of the former King Nakgru, from whom she learned more about the Sith and the rule of their ancestral King Adas. This discovery prompted them to explore the other worlds of the sith. At the sight of a chained Draethos, she realized that she had more to delve into the star maps, so they could trace the raids of the Sith. They decided to return to the palace on Ziost, express the desire to make a Kriegswyrm against the walls of the Jedi Temple to use. The roles of the Sith Alchemy allowed her to accumulate the knowledge, however, it was not succeeded in eliciting the other holocrons. She and the group decided to expand their search until they found a buried Mongrel with hidden scrolls. She attained that they had to take valuable information for the more complaints to themselves. As an alchemist, she was able to learn the long-lost incantations and magic arts of the Sith and their research on the Sith Code.

Book of the Sith
In her diary, Sorzus took the story about how the Jedi Order found Tython. After a summary of the First Great Schism, she expressed her regret that the Order had learned nothing from the spin-off and started to follow the old ways of the Jedi instead of following the dark side. She explained her view about the the Hundred Years' darkness, the arrival on Korriban, the start of culture, and the tradition of the Sith. She also wrote down the findings on the weapons and artifacts of the Sith, bringing them into the new rule of the Sith. Then, she talked about her findings from the holocron and agreed to the rise of the ancestral King Adas, who led it to make her own research on the conquest of the Sith.

After a chapter on the war beasts, she traveled to the Sith alchemy, and explained her findings to the incantations of Sith magic. Along with her group, they compared the codes of the Jedi and the Sith, explaining the prophecy of Sith'ari.

Legacy
At the end of her life, Sorzus Syn created her own holocron, the introduction of the Rule of Two in the possession of the Sith Lord Darth Bane. he managed to smuggle a copy of the artifact from the Jedi Temple, which served them as a cloaking device and the lifetimes when Mace Windu was in the archives.

A part of her diary, started from the third month of their exile, remained intact after her death and was included in the archive of the Jedi temple where Grand Master Yoda and Jedi Master Mace Windu examined the pages written in which she pointed primarily to the dangers of the dark side. In the wake of the Great Jedi Purge, the book came into the possession of the new Emperor Darth Sidious. According to his statement, these statements were the oldest text that lasted for thousands of years. He noted that all the authors collected were Sorzus Syn, Darth Malgus, Darth Bane, Darth Plagueis, and Mother Talzin. They were believed to be strong in their own dogma and were removed from the path that the sith had. When the book fell into the hands of Grand Master Luke Skywalker, he tried to associate the contributions to their time. He believed that the scriptures were written in the years after 7,000 BBY. The entries of the Jedi that he dated to a time before the Battle of Naboo in 32 BBY, and Sidious' remarks, after he seized power in 19 BBY.
