@@stoneyboyd Darth Plagueis, seated in a dimly lit chamber, gazed intently at his apprentice, Darth Sidious, who would soon be known as Emperor Palpatine. They had been discussing the intricacies of the Force, and Plagueis saw an opportunity to share a story that reflected his unique perspective. "Have you ever heard of Darth Tenebrous, the brilliant Sith Lord?" Plagueis began, his voice filled with a mixture of contemplation and intrigue. Sidious nodded, curiosity flickering in his eyes. "I have heard whispers of his name, my Master. But his story remains a mystery to me." Plagueis smiled, pleased with his apprentice's interest. "Darth Tenebrous was a Sith Lord who possessed an unparalleled intellect and saw the Force through the lens of scientific inquiry." He went on to expound upon Tenebrous's viewpoint, explaining how Tenebrous approached the Force as a force of nature that could be analyzed and manipulated through rigorous experimentation. "Tenebrous believed that the Force held the secrets of the universe, waiting to be unlocked through precise understanding and controlled experimentation," Plagueis explained. "He devoted himself to studying its patterns, uncovering its laws, and harnessing its energy to further his own power." Plagueis recounted how Tenebrous meticulously conducted experiments, pushing the boundaries of Sith knowledge. He described Tenebrous's analytical approach, treating the Force as a vast cosmic equation to be solved. "But, as is often the case, even the brightest minds can be blinded by their own ambitions," Plagueis continued, a note of caution in his voice. "Tenebrous's pursuit of knowledge and power ultimately led him down a treacherous path." Plagueis explained how Tenebrous's thirst for power drove him to explore forbidden practices and rituals, seeking to strip the Force from the Jedi and claim it as his own. "In his relentless quest for dominance, Tenebrous delved into dark arts that corrupted his very essence," Plagueis explained, his voice tinged with solemnity. "He believed he could reshape the Force itself to his will, discarding the boundaries of morality and ascending to godlike status." Plagueis continued, describing how Tenebrous's obsession blinded him to the inherent dangers of his experiments. He painted a picture of a Sith Lord consumed by his own ambition, walking a precarious tightrope between control and chaos. "But it was his unquenchable thirst for power that ultimately became his downfall," Plagueis revealed, his voice carrying a hint of satisfaction. "In his pursuit of godhood, Tenebrous unwittingly unleashed forces he could not control." Plagueis described the cataclysmic event that marked Tenebrous's end-a moment of realization and horror that revealed the true nature of the Force. "It was in a moment of cruel irony that Tenebrous's apprentice, recognizing the folly of his master's ambitions, harnessed the very Force Tenebrous sought to manipulate," Plagueis explained, his voice taking on a somber tone. "With a focused act of the dark side, the apprentice used the Force to bring forth a massive boulder, which came crashing down upon Tenebrous, ending his existence." Plagueis allowed a moment of silence to permeate the chamber, honoring the memory of Tenebrous and reflecting on the fragile balance between power and wisdom. "And so, my apprentice," Plagueis concluded, his voice carrying a sense of caution, "the tragedy of Darth Tenebrous serves as a reminder that no matter how brilliant one may be, the Force cannot be fully

I also imagine what would happen if the Huntress aka Darth Cognus was never tasked to eliminate Darth Bane so instead she was recruited by Darth Zannah at some point after she killed her master in the duel: Darth Zannah was sitting inside a shuttle with her apprentice, Darth Cognus, formerly only known as the Huntress, sitting beside her. After discussing about the Rule of Two, Zannah began to tell the story about the founder of Rule of Two to her apprentice. "Well, have you ever heard the story of tragedy of Darth Bane the Great?" Zannah asked to her apprentice. The Iktotchi's eyes filled with curiosity after hearing the name. She answered, "I have heard the rumors about him, but not to the details, my master." Zannah gave a smile, satisfied with her apprentice's lust of knowledge, "Darth Bane was a Sith Lord who once belonged to the Brotherhood of Darkness, a group of Sith founded by a former Jedi Master who turned to the Dark Side, Skere Kaan." She then recalled how Bane lost trust to the Brotherhood of Darkness so he orchestrated the destruction of the Brotherhood and creation of the Rule of Two. "Although the Brotherhood promoted that all its members were equal to prevent the infighting, he believed it to be a flawed organization with Kaan was a fool and coward. So after studying the holocron of the legendary Darth Revan to gain new Knowledge, he tricked the Brotherhood to create a deathly thought bomb to annihilate the Jedi Order once and for all during the last battle. However, it's too late for the Sith to realize that it was a trap before the bomb detonated, vanquishing the entire Brotherhood along with a hundred Jedi and their army in a cave," Zannah explained "Now with Bane as the only Sith Lord left, he instituted the Rule of Two as the only way to prevent infighting among the Sith. He then took a young girl as his sole apprentice and successor." Zannah continued how Bane began to worry that his apprentice was too weak to overthrow him and considered the alternative ways, even if it means broke his own decree. "However, after two decades following the foundation of the Rule of Two, he was consumed by paranoid after considered that his apprentice was too weak to kill him to continue the Sith teaching and knowledge. So he began the research to increase his lifespan by transferring his essence to another body without the knowledge of his apprentice. He even planned to find a replacement apprentice while his own apprentice at the time was alive. In a sense of irony, he broke the decree that was created by himself," Zannah said, her voice was filled with disappointment. Zannah told about a fateful duel between the master and apprentice which brought the end to Darth Bane's reign as the Sith Master and Dark Lord of the Sith. "Eventually, when the apprentice found out about her master's secret plans, she confronted him for duel to prove herself strong and worthy," Zannah revealed, Cognus could feel the anger in her master's voice. "It was the moment when his apprentice unleashed a deadly power that caused him to feel pain unlike anything he had ever known before. After a struggle of wills, it was finally over with Bane was destroyed before he could even transfer his spirit into his apprentice's body" Zannah closed her eyes and allowed a moment of silence for a while in honoring the memory of Darth Bane, the founder of the Rule of Two. "Now do you understand, my apprentice?" Zannah concluded, showing a warning from her voice. "The tragedy of Darth Bane has a moral to follow the decree in any situations even in the time of crisis, no matter what."

To clear things up a bit. The "accident" that happened on the mining moon where Tenebrous died happened because a droid that had been sabotaged deliberately arranged for an explosion of a mineral in the ground that was known to be highly explosive (cortosis ore I believe). The droid was blown up in the explosion it didn't blow up on it's own. That being said Tenebrous's end is a reflection of his own weakness in that he was so focused on trying to live forever via his experiment that he failed to consider that the force would in fact fight back. He refused to accept that the force did in fact have its own will and was more than an energy source. The force did fight back by taking away his vision to a degree so that he would not understand the nature of his own damnation until it was far too late. Edit: Droid not druid and Tenebrous not Tenebous thanks everyone for pointing it out.

[@bigbird2240]

The “subtext” mining company had a personal beef with tenebrous who they knew as Rugess Nome the ship designer and they were the mining survey team that first went to the groto on planet of baldemnic and did the initial survey for nome who hired them to do the initial survey to check the cortosis ore which nome knew about through secret Sith contacts because the Jedi strictly controlled all deposits of cortosis because it’s used against light sabers and it’s ability to resist the force even possibly ( “it’s the ore there’s too much resistance here”) Subtext mining team sabotaged tenebrous by leaving a mining probe droid in the “shaft” which was pre programmed to self destruction when tenebrous was using it by drilling a bore hole into a pocket of a highly combustible variant of methane gas which would create a significant explosion

[@thefrisianviking28]

[@rebeldropper607]

James lucenos novel Darth Plagueis has got to be one of the greatest books in Star wars lore. The probe Droid didn't explode..Subtex mining sabotaged the droid for Revenge on Tenebrous (he had a lot of enemies) to enter a methane pocket witch then exploded. Rugis panicked feeling his own death was going to happen. While the giant shaft that the miners sunk for Tenebrous the explosion ensued which gave Plagueis the chance to bring down a giant stalagtite killing Tenebrous and crushing the star ship. They were only wearing envirosuits to protect them from the heat and gas of the exploratory Cortosis mining hole. Tenebrous and Plagueis had been Master and apprentice for about the length of human beings lifespan at that point. I loved learning about Biths love of science and how they only used calculations for mating and spawning!¡. Great vid man!!!

[@enderjammer5035]

Plagueis wasnt like his master, yes he had experiments like Tenebrous, but his experiments were more like tapping into the force and attempting to manipulate the midiclorians to do his bidding. He was still spiritual because he believed that it was the will of the dark side of the force that he found Palpatine, and that it was the dark side that gifted him Darth Venamis. When Sidious talked about his ablility to stop death to Anakin, he lied about the fact that he taught Sidious everything, because Sidious would continue to look to cloning for imortality, when just in the last year before Sidious was elected to become Chancellor, Plagueis could stop his cells from aging. Tenebrous was a Bith inventor, who made machines, starships, and things of that nature. When he started to train Venamis, it was because of his diffferences with Plagueis.

[@LordWyatt]

Was Tenebrous the last Sith Lord to actually Duel his Master for the Title of Dark Lord? His Twilek Master was a known Lightsaber duelist so Tenebrous probably relied on his Force abilities and any other knowledge to aid him (along with a large age gap+younger body). Following this, Tenebrous, Plagueis, Sidious, and even Vader would betray their respective Masters. Of course it seems their power was equal when they made their moves (except Vader who may not have learned all he could from Sidious).

[@rebeldropper607]

That's a great question it's said the Plagueis novel that Tenebrous always loved a good sparring match where his apprentice (Plagueis) was not so enthusiastic about dueling though he was awesome. They name a lot of Bane line Sith Lords in the book Zannah, Cognus, Millennial, Vectivis, Ramage, Gravid, I don't believe Venomis counts. But I never even learned the name of Tenebrous' Twilek masters name..who actually was actually the first to open a rend of dark side power into the Jedi light side force bubble that they actually felt.

Darth Tanabis was a lost cause. His master a mere dud with no reachable goal while he dreamed of more "toying trinkets". Thinking the force is something to harness when it is a powerful energy to be it's Thrall is the end goal of power. Learning all this finally now knowing where the sith order ended in madness and utter sillyness. Starting with Darth Bane.

[@DrVort]

Well the book Darth Plagueis tells the story of Plagueis actually being a side-thought to Tenebrous, an interesting experiment due to his natural abilities to use the Force for controlling life. So, the Darth Plagueis was never actually meant to be next sith lord and never got all the legacy and knowledge Tenebrous had to pass him. That said, several generations earlier, one of the sith lords gone mad trying to combine Light and Dark sides of the Force, burning library that lines back to dath Bane. So, siths actually lost a lot in a period of rule of Bane and Sidious is actually quite lesser sith lord than what Bane envisioned when creating his plan and doesn't represent legacy of the sith, that legacy is dead. By the way, Sidious broke the rule of two multiple times and haven't got to properly teach his apprentice Vader so he can overpower him. So, there is a tragic story of the demise of the Sith, there are no more.

[@dukes1993724]

Can’t there be more Sith Lords in the future now that Palpy is dead dead (hopefully Disney just keeps him dead for good now)? It just takes a very talented force sensitive user who embraces the dark side, no? Or is it sort of like a title and lineage that must be traced back to Bane and the original sith species before him?

[@DrVort]

@@dukes1993724 when we're talking about Disney canon it's just sad, broken and not worth talking about. But my answer would be no, talented force sensitive user wouldn't be mightily powerful sith lord, like Bane for example. My reasoning is, a very talented musician that's living in a tribe with no music theory or instruments around can be awesome in what he play. But he is not going to create something like a symphonic orchestra. You need tradition for that, knowledge gathered among generations, tools. So a new sith lord would be but a tribal musician, with spirits of sith lords on Corriban laughing at his incompetence. For a tradition of Sith sake, it is still possible for someone to continue it. There are lots of holocrons, sith manuscripts and of course pretty talkative sith spirits, so continuation is possible. Just that the tradition is withered over millenia of history, so much knowledge is truly lost.

[@dukes1993724]

@@DrVort Good example there to illustrate your point. Someone would have to go waaay out of their way to study the history and secrets of the Sith now that there isn’t already a Sith Lord to teach and guide them down that path.

Imagine a movie where Darth Tenebrous actually succeeds in finding Anakin the chosen one and goes through all the effort of freeing him from being a slave only to takeover Anakin's body at the end of the movie. That would make such a dark movie if he found Anakin instead of the Jedi. The reason I think he would free Anakin from slavery first would be so he could leave the planet. He might not be able to unleash his full Sith powers while in the body of a child so he may have to wait for Anakin to get a little older before he could fully master the power of the chosen one. So it seems like it would more convenient for Darth Tenebrous if Anakin could move more freely before taking him over.

How the Sith were always weak and fighting each other so the rule of 2 was made to concentrate the dark side in only two sith at a time. One to hold the power and one to crave it. The master taught the apprentice until the apprentice killed the master and became the master and took an apprentice of his own and for that reason each Sith Lord was more powerful than the last until eventually the most powerful Sith Lord of all time would fulfill the grand plan and destroy the jedi … but nope some dude decided to make a character that drained the force out of entire planets that was around way way way before Luke obi-wan Vader and sidious.

[@theoldhermit2601]

@@CKpremium1992 I agree, at least with Revan, I think the balancing light and dark sounds like bad fanfiction, BUT him becoming a war hero and preparing for the sith empire was very interesting and believable. Stuff like Nihilus, Vitiate or Dark Empire Sidious draining planets is just boring because it makes most things in Star Wars seem insignificant by comparison. What's the point in armies and war if 2 or 3 people can just wipe out civilizations from across the galaxy within seconds??? Star Wars is supposed to be somewhat relatable to the real world, stuff like Nihilus feels like it's trying to be anime or something lol

[@johnhuddleston8647]

What I tend to do is read about Star Wars Sith characters that I know of......and have actually seen characters of. I do agree with you to a certain extent. There is a book called the Book of Sith. I have it, I've read it and it actually makes sense of a lot of things that once eluded me. It also makes a good read that could be construed as Shakespearean mythos about the Sith that does follow logically. And I do find the Sith very interesting. Other side characters, and ones that you never see on any Star Wars are all nothing but subjects to other's "interpretations" that tend not to follow logically.........and that's exactly why I don't follow them!!! So it is interesting, you just got to know where to look and try not to be overly imaginative. Hope this helps.

Darth Tenebrous and Plagueis were going to use the whole droid and the Geonosias ? budget to go through their master plan.

[@wabc2336]

There is a great resemblance between Darth Tenebrous and Darth Vader's suit. 8:27 Maybe Tenebrous did partly possess Anakin? Or Sidious dedicated the suit to Tenebrous.

[@dildobaggins2759]

How interesting that Tenebris manipulated Plagues mother and father into an affair...

[@ssunfish]

As I heard it, he slowly advanced Plagieus biological father to the very top of galactic banking for this and had already had his biological mom fully indoctrinated as a sith. She was a secondary spouse of some sort as the father was partnered already. Plagieus mother raised him very much to be mean, hateful and heartless using psychology while hiding all her activities to this end. Darth Tenebrous had a lot of influence on her and I would love to know more of how. Revealing Tenebrous as a character

It was a female Twilek, who was Tenebrous Master, as it was Darth Gaen, who had the ability to jump to new bodies ESSENCE TRANSFER THe Virus, was not for the Jedi, but for Tenebrous Female Master, whom was on Hunter's Moon, at the Party, providing females Gardulla The Hutt inquired about... They introduced Castration via the both not having genitals normally and Darth Gaen needed to show her strengths. Plagueis was an extra Sith... Tenebrous could not stop or beat his master who opened the force when she faced Darth Gravid allowing the Jedi to feel the darkside Tenebrous and Plagueis knew if Sith Sorcery and Alchemy but could not do it, But Darth Gaen could and it's why Tenebrous was so into science.... Tenebrous did not find Plagueis but had him Bred. He was hidden from Darth Gaen as Tenebrous acvountant

[@jdndodnfblnssiquhfnqoo2747]

Tenebrous master was darth remage, a male sith, one does not know exactly if he was darth geans disciple or not since many sith are unknown to the rule of two. And darth remage did not open a gate to power, he only opened a tiny crack in the power bubble of the light side so far that the dark side was again noticeable for the jedi for almost 800 years. In the book darth plagueis by james luceno we learn that the jedi, so plagueis suspects, have unintentionally created a huge power bubble, similar to what the yinchorris could do, and this macjt bubble has pushed the darkness out of the galaxy or at least suppressed it. And now to the part of darth gravid. He just got mad because he learned light side abilities and knowledge. After he got mad he decided to destroy all sith artefacts he owned the secure the sith for the future. His apprentice darth gean stopped him doing that what nearly cost her life. She lost half her shoulder her arm and half of one of her breasts and one of her lekkus. Only because of the dark side she was able to survive. If you want ro give knowledge pls just do a little redearche before you say something wrong or mix imformations.
