Darth Plagueis

Darth Plagueis was a Sith Lord who trained Darth Sideous to use the Dark Side of the Force. According to his apprentice, his power was so great that he could create life and keep other people from dying. Unfortunately, he could not keep himself from dying when his apprentice murdered him in his sleep.

There is a hypothesis among some Warsies that Darth Plagueis foresaw his own death and used his power to "create life" to cause the conception of Anakin Skywalker, who would eventually avenge his murder.
