Darth Malak
[Source] |
A fallen Jedi, Darth Malak was the Sith apprentice and onetime friend of Darth Revan. Following the founding of the Revan's Sith empire, he served as Revan's right hand.
During their invasion of the Old Republic in 4000 BBY, Malak directed a portion of Revan's fleet. Although Malak's strategic ability was less than that of Revan, he compensated by overwhelming brutality and terror tactics. His status as subordinate gradually caused him to rebel, resulting in Revan severing Malak's jaw with his lightsaber.
During the Jedi-led strike on Revan, Malak ordered his vessel to fire upon Revan's flagship, catching both Jedi and the Sith Lord off-guard. Malak, believing Revan to be dead, then assumed control of the Sith armada.
Skills and Abilities
Aside from being physically powerful, Malak was a strong Force-user. His Sith training and past experience fighting the Mandalorians allowed him to defeat most Jedi opponents. Malak later used the Star Forge to drain the energy of captured Jedi, supplementing his own. He was proficient in several Dark Side techniques, including Force lightning.
