Darth Caldoth was a Force-sensitive Duros male Sith Lord.[1] At one point, Darth Caldoth wrote a book titled The Bestiary of Darth Caldoth, which mentioned various Sith warbeasts such as the Gundark.[2] According to legend, Caldoth eventually gained a Sith apprentice, the Twi'lek Ry Nymbis, and they were considered the two most powerful individuals in the galaxy at one point. Caldoth killed his own apprentice with a Sith ritual that turned the person's body into stone when he felt Nymbis was going to betray him. With the ritual, Nymbis was trapped in an eternal nightmare.[1]
Behind the scenes
Edit
- "There’s another little Easter Egg in Dooku: Jedi Lost, too. I talked to Cavan about the ancient Sith Lord I'd created for the story 'Gaze of Stone'—Darth Caldoth—and Cavan kindly put a reference to him and his work into his audio script. So there's a fair bit of cross-pollination going on there!"
- ―George Mann
Darth Caldoth was first mentioned in the 2019 canon audiobook Dooku: Jedi Lost, written by Cavan Scott.[2] The official spelling of his name was revealed in "Gaze of Stone," a story from Myths & Fables, a middle-grade novel by George Mann that was released on August 6, 2019.[1]
