Imperial Agent: Talking down Darth Jadus

[@thefairylovesniper]

I love jadus. Such a polite sith. You just foiled his years of planning and hard work. You piss Him off. And He says "Farewell".

[@caad5258]

Yeah, he's pretty controlled for a Sith.

[@theevildrummingsithlord1492]

​@@caad5258 I think that his way of saying "farewell" implies something more sinister later on. I wonder if Jadus knew much about the Star Cabal.

[@theevildrummingsithlord1492]

@General Grievous It would be insane. Jadus is really dangerous, and I hope we see him return like Malgus.

[@Kassiddy]

@General Grievous that'd be awesome, in a way, Jadus is similar to Marr and Malgus, distancing himself from sith infighting, seeking to unify the Sith, and to quote Vitiate, “the best Sith the Empire has ever produced”. And Lana mentioned at some point that Jadus is a potential suspect behind the War on Iokath. It's a shame Jadus wasn't there when the Empire and Marr needed him the most.

[@CyberController-]

According to Valkorion himself, Jadus is the greatest Sith of all time.

[@Loxias1989]

[@akoskralik3053]

lol. Cipher makes good points though. And Jadus is not stupid. He knows that even he can't hope stand against the full might of the Empire alone. And the Republic's too, of course.

[@willieoelkers5568]

Jadus isn't personally defeated, but his plan is dead in the water without both codes and as the next two acts show leaving you alive puts a wildcard on the table that both directly and indireclty cuts a swathe through Imperial Intelligence, the Republic, and the Star Cabal. It's most advantageous to move back behind the curtain and let the opposing forces tear into one another rather than make a largely empty gesture of spite that just draws more attention to his capabilities.

[@eh-ay-ron]

Wow, I didn't realize this was possible. Completely avoided a 30 min fight sequence and made Jadus look pathetic all in dialogue...

[@Reddotzebra]

30 minutes? This didn't even take 30 minutes before they nerfed him. This fight sequence was basically Interrupt tutorial: Masterclass edition. Especially since you got the ability so bloody late...

[@seb0rn739]

The light side option are often really cool.

[@Aggarius]

A bit different than when I gave him the codes so I could be his right hand

[@SohnvonChristus]

That takes nerves of steel. Standing before a Dark Lord of the Sith who gets so enraged that the whole ship around the agent starts shaking from the Force, red dark side energy visibly surrounds him and his hands are glowing , he's ready to kill the agent any second, and still, the agent doesn't budge. Now that's bravery.

[@cdv3401]

Tsetso Mostrev good writing*

[@AzureSkyCiel]

ironically, no, this is the most realistic thing you can do to 'beast Jadus'. Plot armor is actually surviving a fight with him.

[@123goscrewyourself]

Honestly its your best last ditch, unless cypher is hiding a The Jedi grandmaster and a few knights somewhere that I dont know about. Outside of that cypher doesn't stand a snowball's chance in hell in a straight up fight. Jadus could end her with a gesture, a fact I'm sure she would be aware of.

[@Redvil01]

And foolishness. Just because the game protects you from death, you make choices that no agent would make.

[@PaiSAMSEN]

The funny part is that, most other Sith would kill Cypher on spot with rage, then worry about the fallout later. Darth Jadus was one of the more rational Sith, allowing the whole event to end in both side's best interest.

I hope they bring Jadus back, he's such an awesome antagonist, he'd make a great rival for the Eternal Throne.

[@LordProteus]

I was disappointed to learn he was not on the new Dark Council in the upcoming Jedi Under Siege expansion, though I think Empress Acena would have considered him a threat, since he's all "Darkness and Fear and Hatres!" which isn't in line with her more progressive policies. At least Vowrawn is still around, but it's a shame Mortis died in the finale of the Eternal Empire/Alliance arc.

[@BaeBunni]

Every outcome ends the same he survives there is technically no way to kill him and he is to powerful for other sith. There is a chance for him to come back especially as an enemy the empire and republic would have to fight

[@LordProteus]

He better not get tossed away in passing like so many other characters(like Darth Baras, Ravage and Mortis) did in the Zakuul finale. Jadus has the potential to be a very serious main character/story arc villain. I hope he even rejoins the Dark Council.

[@GalenNight]

Seriously Darth Jadus is such a bad ass. I wish we could see more of him and expansions but it seems bioware has completely forgotten about them.

[@CaptainRed1000]

To be fair, it’d be fairly difficult to reincorporate him into the story at this stage.

So... I was playing a dark side agent. Had a crisis of conscience after entering the codes. I’d killed plenty earlier in the story, but this seemed a bit much even for my agent. Ended up doing the battle. At least capturing a sith of Jadus’s caliber is pretty dang impressive, and the whole thought process of “dang, I started this agent as a patriot. The hell am I doing?” made it feel very true to character. But dang, that’s impressive.

[@theevildrummingsithlord1492]

Hey guys, I have some interesting theories about Darth Jadus and what happened to him after he disappeared. 1. What if Jadus was just one of Vitiate's bodies that was being used to test the competence of the Dark Council? Maybe Vitiate wanted to see if the Dark Council was even worth being kept alive and not being purged, so he created the terrorists and the Eradicators to test them. He was impressed by how the Dark Council (and Imperial Intelligence) reacted to this threat, so he disappeared and let his body die out. However, he still didn't feel that any non Force-sensitive was worthy of his true identity, so he never told the agent. 2. Secondly, Jadus does escape to the Outer Rim, and he's living in exile while making his own cult, which he would use to later conquer the galaxy and bring all his old enemies to their knees. During this same time, Malgus is conducting expeditions around the galaxy, and Malgus hunts down Jadus and kills them. That explains why Jadus never returns, and also adds to why Malgus was always so busy until Ilum. Anyway, whaddya'll think of it?

[@xenon8117]

Vitiate’s plan is to do his ritual on the whole galaxy save for Zakuul so he has no need of testing the Dark Council. In fact Valkorion even says in Chapter 2 as agent that Jadus was the finest sith his empire ever produced. Vitiate is currently stuck on Voss due to Darth Baras’ scheming which Jadus even mentions here about him being distracted. Sadly I don’t link we’re ever seeing Jadus again but since he hasn’t died in any outcome there is always a chance he’ll come back when they want him.

[@theevildrummingsithlord1492]

Perhaps, there is a mission of Hoth if you chose to side with Jadus. Someone who works for Jadus will ask you to help Jadus retrieve the commands given to the Emperor's Honor Guards on the planet.
