Darth Nox Darth Nox , formerly known as Kallig , and also by the callsign Rage , was a powerful Dark Lord of the Sith that served the Sith Empire during the Cold War and Galactic War . The heir of ancient Sith Lord Aloysius Kallig , Nox sought to restore the Kallig bloodline to greatness . Discovered as a slave of the Sith , the future Darth Nox started at the bottom of the ladder when the slave was chosen to be trained as an acolyte at the Academy on Korriban . As the future Darth Nox succeeded in overcoming all of the trials imposed by the academy ' s masters and instructors , the heir of Kallig rose in the hierarchy , embracing the way of the Sith Inquisitor . During their rise to power , the future Nox developed a bitter rivalry with Darth Thanaton , a powerful Dark Lord of the Sith and a member of the Empire ' s Dark Council . The antagonism between the two Sith was brought to an end when the Inquisitor defeated Thanaton on the very floor of the Council chamber , occupying his seat on the Dark Council , as the Dark Councilor heading the Sphere of Ancient Knowledge . Biography . Discovered as a slave , this Force - sensitive being was brought to Korriban for training at a time in which the Sith Order had decided to accept non - Imperials to be trained as Sith Inquisitor s . Upon arrival at the Academy on Korriban , the newly - dubbed Acolyte was assigned to Overseer Harkun , who was instructing other non - Imperial Sith , whom he held in contempt , especially former slaves . The Overseer made no attempt to hide his disdain as he openly discriminated against the Acolyte in favor of another acolyte in the group , a pureblooded Sith named Ffon Althe . After a brief introduction upon the Acolytes ' arrival , Harkun assigned the Acolyte their first quest : to travel into Ajunta Pall ' s tomb and be tested by Lord Spindrall . After killing some K ' lor ' slugs and tomb looters along the way , the Acolyte finally reached Spindrall , who tested the young Acolyte by sending his own six acolytes to attack . The Acolyte defeated them all , passing the test and leaving the tomb thereafter . Successful , the Acolyte returned to Harkun , who was awaiting the former slave in the Sith Academy , but not without first meeting an assistant Overseer called Markan , who introduced the Acolyte to some core Sith tenets . Back in Harkun ' s office , Harkun executed an acolyte , Kory , for her weakness and not living up to her potential before assigning the Acolyte to a quest in the Academy ' s jail , which Lord Zash herself had requested for him . In the jail , Inquisitor Zyn told the Acolyte to interrogate a weak acolyte named Alif ; the Acolyte succeeded , getting the answer from Alif in the process . Harkun then proceeded to assign both the Acolyte and Ffon to different trials of intellect . While Ffon ' s task was less dangerous , as he merely had to translate some ancient texts , the Acolyte ' s task was to travel to Marka Ragnos ' s tomb and recover an ancient holocron . The Acolyte fought through hordes of Tuk ' ata and Shyracks to reach the objective but succeeded nonetheless , retrieving the Holocron through the use of Force lightning . At the same time the Acolyte was gaining renown for the feats performed in the tombs . Upon returning to Harkun , the Overseer was both surprised and displeased that the Acolyte had survived and was quick to send the Acolyte on another difficult task . The Dashade and Final Trials . The Acolyte was sent by Harkun , at Lord Zash ' s request , to recover a text on Tulak Hord ' s tomb as part of Zash ' s research on the ancient Dark Lord ' s artifacts . As before , the Acolyte succeeded in this task , retrieving the archived text . Upon returning to the Academy , the Acolyte was met by Lord Zash herself , who complimented the Acolyte ' s success . She told the young Acolyte she had great hopes and that the Acolyte was likely to become the apprentice she was looking for . The Acolyte then met and delivered the artifact to Harkun in his office . The Overseer refused to believe the Acolyte had met Zash and sent him to the Academy ' s training facility . Upon arriving in the training facility , the Acolyte was met by two of Harkun ' s other students who had been assigned to slay the Acolyte in exchange for their freedom . The Acolyte , however , was too strong and easily defeated the other two . Realizing the assignment had been a trap , the Acolyte returned to Harkun , who then assigned him on their final task . He wanted the Acolyte to retrieve an ancient map from Naga Sadow ' s tomb , which first required releasing a sentient beast called the Dashade . Zash interrupted the conversation and gave the Acolyte the translated text that was previously retrieved from Tulak Hord ' s tomb . This information , which was needed to reach the ancient map , gave the Acolyte a great advantage over Harkun ' s final and favorite remaining student , Ffon . The Acolyte breached the tomb , destroyed the droid guardians protecting it , and released the Dashade , whom the Acolyte then learned was Tulak Hord ' s renowned , ancient assassin named Khem Val . Upon release , the powerful creature immediately attacked the Acolyte but was ultimately defeated . In accordance with Dashade tradition , he pledged loyalty to the one who had bested him , giving the Acolyte a powerful servant and companion . They continued the task , defeating many droids in their path and even an ancient beast called a Terentatek before recovering the ancient map . The Acolyte delivered the ancient map to Harkun , who had been arguing with Ffon about getting the map was impossible . The Overseer was quick to snatch the map out of the Acolyte ' s hands and give it to Ffon just as Lord Zash appeared . Zash , seeing the map now in Ffon ' s hands but knowing it wasn ' t he who recovered it , asked him to tell the truth . Ffon , fearing the consequences of lying to a Sith Lord , told Zash the truth and she killed him with Force lightning , and instructing the Acolyte ( Harkun ' s last surviving charge ) to meet her at her office . The acolyte complied and Lord Zash accepted the young Acolyte as her Sith apprentice , telling the young Sith to meet her next in the Empire ' s capital of Dromund Kaas , where her new apprentice could develop their skills . First , however , she gave the young apprentice her old lightsaber as a gift . Apprenticeship to Zash . While preparing to leave the Academy and travel to the capital , the Apprentice was met by another Sith apprentice , Ortosin , who brought an ultimatum from his master , Darth Skotia , Zash ' s superior . The Apprentice reluctantly refused and a duel ensued , in which the Apprentice killed Ortosin and the two thugs that accompanied him . The Apprentice then departed to the Imperial ' s Navy Headquarters , a massive space station called Vaiken Spacedock . There the Apprentice met Overseer Kryos who helped the new apprentice decide which path to take : the Sith sorcerer or the Sith assassin . Defeating Darth Skotia . On arrival to Dromund Kaas , the Apprentice was received by Darth Skotia himself and his two Trandoshan bodyguards , who threatened the young Apprentice yet again , also telling the young Apprentice to warn Zash that he holds the key . After leaving the spaceport the Apprentice completed several tasks assigned by Imperial officers who were having numerous troubles with slave rebels , deserters and the planet ' s own creatures . The Apprentice then reached Kaas City , the capital , and traveled to the Imperial Citadel where Zash awaited the Apprentice at her office . The Apprentice immediately told her about Skotia ' s warnings and she revealed her plan to have the Apprentice assassinate the cyborg Dark Lord by first exploiting his cybernetics weaknesses . She then told the Apprentice that the first step was to discover what Skotia was hiding and sent the Apprentice on a mission to investigate and extract information from Skotia ' s former slaves who had now rebelled . The Apprentice succeeded and then infiltrated Darth Skotia ' s bunker . There , the Apprentice slew Skotia ' s guard including many Sith and even one Sith Lord , Ogathu , before retrieving a relic that controlled Skotia ' s Trandoshan bodyguards . The Apprentice then returned to the Citadel and gave the relic to Lord Zash . Zash , knowing controlling the Trandoshans wouldn ' t be enough to defeat Skotia , sent the Apprentice on one more mission to retrieve a weapon that could destroy cybernetics noting that Skotia was mostly a cyborg and it would be effective against him . The weapon had been created by a scientist named Dorotsech who was being held captive by the rogue Sith Lord Grathan . The Apprentice infiltrated Grathan ' s base and after killing everyone that stood in the Apprentice ' s path , the young Sith discovered Dorotsech who gave the Apprentice the weapon ' s location . The Apprentice then retrieved the weapon but not without killing Dorotsech first , leaving no witnesses for what had happened in Grathan ' s estate . When the Apprentice returned to Zash she decided her apprentice was ready and finally assigned the young Sith to kill Darth Skotia . The Apprentice met Darth Skotia in his office , knowing that they needed to get close enough to use the anti - cyborg weapon , the Apprentice used the Trandoshan relic to turn Skotia ' s bodyguards on him but Skotia easily killed them stating that they were only for show . Darth Skotia then proceeded to attack the Apprentice but the latter used the Cybernetics weapon on him . The weapon didn ' t kill Skotia but weakened him enough for the Apprentice to engage . The duel ensued and the Apprentice was victorious slaying Darth Skotia ; with his dying breath , Skotia warned the Apprentice that Zash would turn on them too . As the cyborg collapses on the floor , the Apprentice promised to face Zash when the time comes . The Apprentice then went to the cantina , where Lord Zash was contacted by Darth Thanaton who accused her of slaying Skotia . Zash , having a concrete alibi , refused such accusations and was promoted to the Darth title in front of the Apprentice . The Apprentice then returned to Skotia ' s - - now Zash ' s - - former office , where Lords Kirnon and Calaverous were investigating the scene of the murder the Apprentice was asked of how Darth Zash had slain Skotia and the Apprentice replied that she didn ' t because the young Sith had done it themselves though no one believed the Apprentice . The search for Tulak Hord ' s artifacts . Eventually sent to the Dark Temple on Dromund Kaas by Zash , the Sith apprentice discovered ancient roots to a Sith Lord , a one - time friend and greatest enemy of the ancient Dark Lord Tulak Hord , Aloysius Kallig . The ghost of Kallig recognized the Inquisitor to be of his bloodline and the means to restore his family name to greatness . He warned the Inquisitor that the Sith play an endless game of treachery , a game his heir must win . He advises to beware the master and apprentice and never to be taken by surprise . Also while at the temple , the Apprentice found a relic of Tulak Hord captured millennia earlier by Kallig before his death . After learning of the Apprentice ' s ancestry and recovering the artifact , they ventured back to Darth Zash and learned that many other such artifacts were hidden around the galaxy . The Apprentice was then given the task of finding these artifacts on Balmorra , Nar Shaddaa , Tatooine , and Alderaan . Balmorra . Darth Zash instructed the Apprentice to recover an artifact sealed in Vault 305 on Balmorra . The contact on Balmorra was Major Bessiker . He and his assistant revealed that the vault was converted to a toxic waste storage facility and was overrun by colicoids . The Apprentice had to synthesize a colicoid serum which provided immunity to the toxic waste inside Vault 305 . The first step was searching the records of Balmorran scientists who engineered the colicoids to be resistant to the toxic waste and that allowed them to even feed on it . After learning the data that described how to create the serum , Apprentice had to find Iannos Tyrek , who was the only person with expertise to produce it . After Tyrek was brought back to base , Bessiker refused to produce the serum unless the Apprentice first helped him free his son Hiran who was recently captured by the Republic . The Apprentice didn ' t take the extortion lightly but eventually agreed to help him . When storming the prison on Gorinth Plateau , Hiran was found in one of the cells . He was a Sith himself and revealed that he obtained some sort of weapon . The Apprentice wanted the weapon and killed the fellow Sith as a result . Upon returning to the base , Major Bessiker was furious and attacked the Apprentice . The Apprentice was forced to kill the Major and promote his assistant to his position . The assistant ordered Tyrek to produce the serum which was used to give immunity to toxins inside the vault . As a result the Apprentice successfully recovered the artifact . Nar Shaddaa . The third artifact was held by a Sith Lord named Paladius on Nar Shaddaa . Paladius manipulated and exploited the poverty of the Nar Shaddaa population to form a personal cult . The Apprentice first met with Destris Veran and Rylee Dray , former followers of the cult who were promised to be given control of the cult in exchange for their assistance . The Apprentice decided that best way to weaken Paladius was to draw his followers away from him . The first step was to build up the Apprentice ' s reputation by eliminating the notorious The Krayt Gang leaders . The next step was to demonstrate the Apprentice ' s " immense powers " to Paladius ' followers which would sway them away from him . The plan was to produce quakes beneath the ground by an explosion . The detonator was obtained from Gron Mandel . After that , the Apprentice showed up at Meridian Hall where Paladius rallied his followers and was giving them a speech by hologram . During the speech , the Apprentice mocked Paladius and told the gathered followers to witness the Apprentice ' s own miraculous abilities , using the detonator to produce an enormous groundquake . The followers started to worship the Apprentice , despite Paladius ' attempts to convince them that it was a fraud . Shortly afterwards , Paladius contacted the Apprentice and offered the artifact in exchange of leaving him in control of the cult . They met in his headquarters where he tried a double - cross by stripping the Apprentice of the ability to use the Force . Nevertheless he was defeated in lightsaber combat . The Apprentice then recovered the artifact and took over the control of his cult . Kallig ' s Countenance . During the search for the artifacts , Kallig interrupted his descendant . He was suspicious of Zash ' s intentions and wanted the Apprentice to be prepared . Recently , he discovered that his old Sith mask was in the possession of Lord Khreusis . He tasked the Apprentice to recover it . The Apprentice found Lord Khreusis on Korriban and slew him to take the mask as their own . Tatooine . The next artifact was in hands of pirates who found a refuge on Tatooine . The Apprentice was tasked to find Andronikos Revel who was a leader of the pirate crew before his first mate Sylas Wilkes betrayed him and took his favorite blasters . Seeking revenge , Andronikos helped the apprentice find his old first mate through his former girlfriend Casey Rix , who was also part of the crew . They found out that Wilkes too was betrayed by the crew , who then took the artifact , as well as Andronikos ' blasters , and went into the dune sea . The Apprentice followed them and found logs which indicated that the pirate crew was driven insane by the artifact ' s power . The artifact was recovered from the body of one of the pirates . At that point , Andronikos joined the Apprentice ' s crew . Alderaan . The last artifact was in possession of House Organa on Alderaan . The Apprentice met with Elana Thul who was helping during the mission on Alderaan . By gathering some information , it was revealed that the artifact was secured in Elysium vaults and the key to the vault was in the hands of Jedi Master Nomar Organa . By breaking into House Alde ' s library and searching through old records , the apprentice discovered that he and Rehanna of House Rist were once in love but Nomar cancelled the marriage to become a Jedi . By manipulating Rehanna , the Apprentice managed to lure Normar into coming to Alderaan where he was killed . The key was taken from his body and the artifact was stolen from the Organa ' s in the Elysium . Kallig ' s lightsaber . Kallig contacted his descendant once again . This time he wanted the Apprentice to claim his old lightsaber which was given to Jonas Escalus for keeping . The last descendant of Escalus at that time was Mila Escalus who was working on Nar Shaddaa . The Apprentice tracked her down in one of the casinos . She revealed that he father gambled the lightsaber to a criminal named Gyl Rosen . The Apprentice went to meet with Gyl but he refused to give away the lightsaber . He was then killed and the lightsaber was reclaimed . Zash ' s ritual . After acquiring all of Tulak Hord ' s artifacts , Darth Zash asked the Inquisitor to return to the Dark Temple on Dromund Kaas to begin the ritual . Taking Khem back to the Dark Temple , the Inquisitor discovered that Zash had aged rapidly from increased exposure to the dark side , barely kept at bay by her rituals . Now , she sought to use Hord ' s artifacts to forcibly take her apprentice ' s body . But before she could complete the ritual , Khem interrupted . Though her body died , Zash ' s spirit wound up in Khem ' s body . Furious at her apprentice ' s betrayal , Zash threatened to use Khem to exact her revenge . However , Zash discovered that because of the Dashade ' s bond to his master , she too was bound to serve her own apprentice . Worse , she had to fight Khem for dominance of his body . Shortly afterward , Darth Zash ' s apprentices , including Corrin and Kaal , arrived and noticed the body of their master . Kaal accused the Inquisitor of murdering Zash and attacked . Corrin quickly broke the fight and explained that Zash had a dream that consisted of the Inquisitor killing the master and would lead the Sith to glory . Zash ' s apprentices then dedicated their loyalty to the new Sith Lord and bowed . Force walking . Despite inheriting Zash ' s power base and the title of Sith Lord , the victory was not to last . Darth Thanaton , an emissary to the Dark Council and a staunch traditionalist , sent Lord Kallig into the tomb of Darth Andru , expecting his foe to become the deceased Sith Lord ' s latest victim . Only Aloysius ' s timely intervention prevented that . To gain more power to defeat Thanaton , Aloysius instructed Kallig to go to the tomb of the Sith Lord Ergast to learn the Force walk , a ritual that can bind Force ghost s and draw on their power . After binding both Ergast and Andru ' s spirits , Kallig returned to face Thanaton , but the Dark Lord still proved more powerful and seemingly killed Kallig . Luckily , the two ghosts kept Kallig from dying and Zash ' s other apprentices saved their new Master before Kallig ' s body was disposed of . Taris . Requiring more power before facing Thanaton , Kallig headed to Taris to find another ghost , Kalatosh Zavros . After acquiring the ghost , as well as a new apprentice named Ashara Zavros , Kallig picked up a distress call from Quesh , as Zash ' s apprentices had stolen the key to Thanaton ' s private meditation chamber . Kallig managed to gain the key but failed to save the apprentices . On Zash ' s suggestion , Kallig returned to Korriban to select a new apprentice , to maintain their standing in Sith society . Kallig chose to observe the latest slave group being handled by Harkun . Kallig had high hopes for the Kaleesh , whom Harkun called Xalek . Hoth . Kallig headed to Hoth after Andronikos Revel told Kallig that there were rumors of a ghost on the frozen planet . After arriving on Hoth , Kallig met with Imperial Reclamation Service officer Talos Drellik . When the Sith Lord met him , Drellik was searching for a rumored hidden temple in The Bitter End . After encountering a force ghost of Horak - mul , who was using the body of an Ortolan , Kallig was ordered to desecrate the temple Talos Drellik had been looking for , a temple of Naga Sadow . Despite Drellik ' s pleas not to destroy everything in the temple , Kallig destroyed every last artifact . Approvingly , Horak - Mul told Kallig to find him in the Star of Coruscant , which had crashed in the Starship Graveyard . Refusing to sign a pact of blood with Horak - Mul , Kallig was attacked by Kaleesh assassins . However , Kallig proved too strong , and once Kallig had overpowered the Kaleesh , Kallig bound Horak - Mul . Confronting Darth Thanaton . Kallig then returned to Dromund Kaas to face Thanaton in his private meditation chamber . Kallig killed Thanaton ' s apprentice Rolan , but as the Lord turned to face Thanaton , the power of four ghosts suddenly went out of Kallig ' s control . Kallig ' s body started failing and the ghosts threatened to drive the young Sith insane . Locating a Cure . Invading Thanaton ' s private library . After returning to the ship , Zash went on a search to find a cure for her master . She shortly realized that Thanaton made a switch to the journals of Darth Iratus and Darth Vilus as they had suffered similar problems . Kallig then invaded Thanaton ' s Private Library , used Force persuasion on the guard captain , and recovered the real journals . The Sith learned that Iratus went to Belsavis and Vilus to Voss to find a cure , but had failed in their search . As Zash and Ashara began researching the planets , Kallig went to Korriban to check up on Harkun . The overseer put his credits on the Gran acolyte , though Kallig still favored Xalek . Belsavis . On Belsavis , Kallig retraced Iratus ' steps in the attempt to heal the decaying body . There Kallig managed to find an ancient Rakata Mother Machine and , in exchange for Kallig ' s DNA , the Rakata n Warden Gorshaa , helped recreate Kallig ' s body so that he can withstand the physical strain of using the ghosts . A New Ally . Upon returning to the ship , Kallig received a call from Moff Valion Pyron , who offered to ally with the young Sith against Thanaton . He explained that to win other Moffs to Kallig ' s cause , they need to prove that Kallig is more worthy of leading the Empire than Thanaton . His solution was a fleet - killing superweapon , codename Silencer , a project which Thanaton scrapped , claiming that the Force was superior to any new technology . What was left to complete the weapon was a CN - 12 chip , which was constructed on Nar Shaddaa . He suggested that Kallig reach out to the Cult of the Screaming Blade , whose allegiance Kallig won as Zash ' s apprentice , in hopes of obtaining the CN - 12 . Returning to Nar Shaddaa , Kallig learned from the cultists that the CN - 12 was being held by a trio of cyborgs called the Veil and they only wished to speak with the Sith . And so Kallig did meet with the Veil , who attempted to bargain the chip for control of the cult . Instead , Kallig used a mind trick to compel them to join the cult . Kallig returned to their ship to report the success to Pyron , who then informed the Sith that Thanaton has ascended to the Dark Council , his predecessor dying under mysterious circumstances . This pleased Kallig , who knows that finally killing Thanaton will also earn his seat . Pyron added that the Dark Council shouldn ' t know and warned that the other Moffs may not be so eager to oppose a Dark Councilor . Kallig then asked Pyron as to his motives for opposing Thanaton . The Moff stated Sith tradition has held the Empire from crushing the Republic and he believes that Kallig would be far more suited to accomplish this than Thanaton . As Pyron signed off , promising to complete the Silencer , Ashara approached Kallig , reminding her Master that they cannot face Thanaton with the ghosts out of control and suggested they go to Voss . Mysteries of Voss . Though Kallig ' s body was fixed , the young Sith ' s mind was not . Upon docking at the Voss space station , the ghosts began mocking Kallig for thinking that an imaginary ritual could subdue them . Ignoring them , Kallig listened to Zash describing the planet Voss . It was apparently a utopia , ruled by the Voss Mystics , who perceive the Force as a conduit of healing and visions . Healing rituals were rare and often forbidden . But before Zash could explain more , Khem regained control . Kallig then decided to meet with an Imperial emissary , Athelis Kallis in Voss - Ka . Upon boarding the station to get transport to the surface , Kallig was approached by a Voss emissary named Sor - Nak , who said that the Mystic Alor - Wan had foreseen that Kallig would destroy the Voss way of life and demanded that the Sith Lord turn back . Kallig refused to turn back after so much hardship , so Sor - Nak left , saying that Alor - Wan has seen that he will not use force and promises that he will find another means of persuasion . Kallig met with Kallis and her partner , Rul Jophen , at the Imperial embassy . After being advised to avoid upsetting the Voss , Kallig elaborated on their mission to Kallis , who suggested that the Sith Lord seek out the outcast dream - walker cult . Kallig later arrived at the cult ' s enclave and , with the permission of their leader , Asa - Ku , undertook their initiation ritual in order to learn their mind - healing ritual . The ritual caused Kallig to go into the dream world , where the ghosts masqueraded as familiar people in Kallig ' s life , whom the Sith Lord had to fight . Upon returning to the waking world , Asa - Ku told Kallig to go to the Shrine of Healing , providing an insignia that would grant the Sith Lord entry into the cult ' s chambers where the mind - healing ritual could be learned . Upon entering the Shrine , Kallig was addressed by a disembodied voice , another Force ghost , this time a Voss called Mar - Da , who was the first and last dream - walker , who stated that the mind - healing ritual was forbidden . As punishment for the ghost ' s defiance , Kallig bound Mar - Da and forced him to reveal that a dream - rock in the Nightmare Lands could defeat the ghosts bound to Kallig by turning them to flesh and blood , but only a Gormak could use it . Subsequently , Kallig received a holocall from Kallis , announcing that pair of Voss commandos were tearing apart her office . After returning to Voss - Ka and disposing of the interlopers , Kallig then had Kallis consult her research , confirming that the closest the Gormak had to Force - users were dream - walking shamans . Journeying into Gorma - Koss , Kallig used dream - walking to communicate with a sympathetic Gormak named Hadrik , who was tired of the fighting between Voss and Gormak . As the shaman was imprisoned by the Gormak king , Jokull , for speaking out against him , Kallig rescued him in reality . Hadrik agreed to perform the ritual in exchange for passage offworld . They then traveled into the Nightmare Lands and dream - walk , where they find the dream - rock , containing the spirit of a Voss named Dal - Rin . Dal - Rin instructed Hadrik to use the rock on the " ghosts " , whom he referred to nightmares , defeat the ghosts before Kallig uses the rock to heal their own mind . The pair proceeded to use the rock to strip away the ghosts ' disguises and besting them in combat one - by - one . Once all the ghosts are defeated , Kallig used the rock and was healed . Upon returning to the space station , Kallig and Hadrik found Sor - Nak waiting for them , who declares that by taking a Gormak off Voss , his people will reject the Empire . To preserve Imperial interests , Kallig used a mind trick to make Sor - Nak forget Hadrik . The Second Apprentice . Harkun then contacted Kallig that the slave acolytes were in their final trial . Returning to Korriban to await the acolytes during their final trial , Kallig maintained high hopes for Xalek . At first , the Twi ' lek , Seferiss , arrived with a tablet in hand . But then Xalek turned up and killed Seferiss . This blatant disregard for Sith tradition upset Harkun , who decides to pass up Xalek for the next group . However , Kallig decided to make an exception for Xalek and used Force lightning to kill Harkun . Testing the Silencer . Kallig then rendezvoused with Pyron ' s flagship , the " Doombringer " , on which the Silencer was mounted . Arriving on the bridge , Pyron proclaimed to Moffs Dolus and Graham that Kallig is the future of the Empire . Dolus expressed hesitancy to ally with Kallig , fearing that Thanaton will have their heads . Graham , on the other hand , was willing to whittle away the ancient Sith traditions which had yet to win them the war . Kallig promised that Thanaton will be dead soon , but Dolus said he would not be moved until that happens . Pyron ordered Dolus to be silent , as the " Doombringer " jumped into hyperspace and Pyron explained their plan to use the Silencer . They then emerged out of hyperspace as a lone " Harrower " - class dreadnought was fighting off a small Republic fleet , which they would target with their superweapon as a test . He then turned to Kallig , who gave a speech to the Moffs about how the Empire had change if they were to win the war . But as they ready the Silencer to fire , they received a distress call from Darth Achelon of the " Carnage " , requesting immediate aid . Graham identified Achelon as a minion of Thanaton and advised firing the Silencer at him . Dolus warned that purposely firing on an Imperial vessel was as good as treason . Pyron argued that the Republic would destroy the " Carnage " and not using the Silencer will result in their destruction too but deferred command to Kallig . Therefore , Kallig chose to aid Achelon and fired the Silencer after letting him get to safety , saving Achelon ' s ship and destroying the Republic fleet . This showed the Moffs that the Empire was more important to Kallig than his power struggle with Thanaton . Impressed , Dolus and Graham agreed to an alliance with Kallig . In turn , Kallig instructed Pyron to see that their new allies receive a Silencer for their capital ships . Final Confrontation . Thanaton soon called for a Kaggath on Corellia , an opportunity for one another to silence their foe once and for all . Thanaton put many resources to shutting down Kallig ' s base of operations and fought the lower - level Sith Lord as much as the Republic defenders . Kallig still managed to get ahead using knowledge and power to avert disaster . Thanaton finally challenged Kallig to a duel on Corellia , but when it became apparent that he would lose , Thanaton fled to Korriban to plead to the Dark Council for the former slave ' s execution . Unfortunately for Thanaton , the Sith Lord interrupted his speech before he could convince anyone . Curious to see why Thanaton was unable to destroy Kallig himself , the Dark Council allowed the two to duel again in front of them . After one last struggle , Kallig proved the stronger Sith and unleashed the power of the Force ghosts to overcome Thanaton ' s Lightning Storm and bring Thanaton to his knees with the power of the Force . Beaten , Thanaton crawled to his fellow Dark Councilors , seeking their aid , but Darth Mortis reached out with the Force and snapped Thanaton ' s neck , killing him instantly for breaking the rules of the Kaggath . With Thanaton ' s seat on the Council now open , Mortis offered his position to the young Sith . Darth Ravage protested , stating that Kallig , as merely a Lord , could not sit on the Dark Council , but Darth Marr silenced his protests , stating that Kallig had earned the right . In light of the reputation earned as a dark side master , Marr bestowed Lord Kallig with the title of Darth Nox , head of the Sphere of Ancient Knowledge , one of the twelve power - bases of the Sith Empire . Afterwards , the newly christened Darth Nox returned to Dromund Kaas to enforce dominion upon those formerly of the Sphere under Darth Thanaton and gain their allegiance . As soon as they were all dismissed , the ghosts pleaded to be freed , but Nox chose to keep them under bondage . . Quest for Immortality . Eventually , as the war went on and new threats arose , Nox traveled to Rishi . The threat of the Revanites had drawn both Nox ' s attention to the planet and ire upon the Revanites . However , in the midst of ruining the Revanites ' efforts , Nox was contacted by Moff Pyron . Pyron had been with searching for Revanite infiltrators within Nox ' s power base and was giving the Dark Lord an update on the search . Along with this , Pyron reported several situations that Nox needed to choose , including the status of the Silencer weapon and the recruitment of the Alzarian s . Lastly , Pyron realized Nox was on Rishi , and told the Dark Lord of their servant , Lord Veijel , who had been seeking an audiance . Nox and their companion , Talos Drellik , met with Veijel , who had been sent to Rishi thirty years ago by Darth Arctis and tasked with finding the secret of immortality . Veijel told Nox that he had built arrays that were supposed to communicate with others in the Rishi dwarf galaxy and that the arrays had received messages from other beings , supposedly Sith , Rakata , and Gree ancients . Veijel inquired that the arrays and beings were waiting for Nox due to their messages relating to the Dark Lord ' s past . Per Veijel ' s request , Nox set out and examined each of the arrays . At each machine , the phrase , " The Dark Lord ' s lifespan increases by one solar cycle " was repeated . When Nox reported this to Veijel he became enthusiastic . Veijel told how Thanaton and Arctis believed the Rishi Maze held the secret to immortality but he himself doubted . The Sith Lord asked for fleets and scientists and forces so that he could explore the dwarf Galaxy and find the secret to immortality . Drellik reminded Nox that the search for immortality was never successful , emphasizing Zash ' s failed plan . Drellik also told Nox that the Dark Lord ' s resources should be used to help the Empire rather than this quest . However , despite Talos ' warning , Nox granted Veijel ' s request in pursuit of everlasting glory and immortality . After the battle with Revan , Darth Marr stated that Nox was the only Dark Council member that he could trust , putting Nox among the elite of the Dark Council . The Eternal Empire Conquest . Around 3632 BBY , when the Eternal Empire conquered the galaxy , Darth Nox was still considered missing . In their absence , the crew was dismantled and separated , going off on their own . Talos Drellik returned to the Reclamation Service and was sent to investigate an ancient power on Yavin IV . Xalek was promoted to Sith Lord , but when his father ' s burial site on Ilum was disturbed by Republic miners , he vowed revenge , because now his father would never attain godhood . Ashara was condemned by the Jedi and couldn ' t trust the Sith , so she spent the years travelling the galaxy to aid others . When Darth Nox went missing , Andronikos spent his time searching for Nox by raiding ships , and at some point was almost killed by Vaylin during her time as Empress . Personality and traits . Manipulative , cunning and ambitious , Darth Nox used treachery to break both allies and enemies . An example of Nox ' s manipulation mastery was when Nox successfully manipulated Ashara Zavros into opening a Sith holocron that began her transition into a Dark Jedi , her abandonment of the Jedi Order and her choice to become Nox ' s follower . Nox delved deep into experimenting with long forbidden powers and didn ' t hesitate to develop dangerous yet scientifically advanced weapons of mass destruction in order to increase influence and seize authority . This shows that Nox wasn ' t afraid to defy tradition , believing that the Sith Empire had to change methods and tactics to achieve victory , which made Nox a dangerous and hated enemy not only to traditionalists like Darth Thanaton but also to the Jedi and the Republic . Darth Nox took great pleasure in the feeling of subterfuge during their political maneuverings , the very suffering of others and would often torture weak minions , prisoners and opponents for simple amusement . The Sith Lord electrocuted those who were defiant , and also killed a member of Nox ' s converted Cult of the Screaming Blade for just approaching the Sith Lord . Darth Nox also did not take kindly when being talked down to because of their history as a former slave or their quick rise to power , yet this same history and power did impress some like Darth Decimus , the feared Dread Masters and even the spirit of Revan . Even though Darth Nox was corrupted , the Sith Lord also showed respect to some individuals and cultures such as Nox ' s apprentice Xivhkalrainik and the Kaleesh . When Xivhkalrainik told Nox of his culture , Nox showed interest in it and asked questions about the culture . As such , Darth Nox cared little about one ' s standing in terms of one ' s species , valuing and respecting those who were useful and loyal to the young Sith Lord and to the Empire , a trait that was rare in the Sith Empire and was shared by Darth Nox ' s ally , Darth Marr . Despite Darth Nox ' s amoral nature and ambition to achieve power , Darth Marr and others note that while the young Sith ' s methods are unorthodox , they serve the Empire ' s interests , not just Nox ' s . As stated by Darth Marr , they " serve the Empire in their own way " and has done far more than any other member of the Dark Council would have done in Nox ' s time on the Council . Powers and abilities . Darth Nox was able to channel the Force and adapt it in ways that suited a variety of needs , including subduing , stunning or killing of foes . Nox was also an astonishingly proficient user of Force lightning . The young Sith was a proficient lightsaber duelist , utilizing either a standard lightsaber or a double - bladed lightsaber in combat . Proof of Darth Nox ' s power was demonstrated when Khem Val , the former servant of Tulak Hord , became one of Nox ' s companions despite many powerful Dark Lords avoiding Khem Val while imprisoned in stasis due to the Dashade ' s Force immunity and record for killing and devouring even some of the most powerful Force - sensitives . The immediate aspiration for the young , powerful Sith apprentice and eventually Sith Lord was ascension to the Dark Council . Nox ' s strength in the dark side was enough to completely overpower a Dark Council member of Darth Thanaton ' s caliber . During their duel with Thanaton , Nox demonstrated the ability to use Force deflection to fend off Force lightning , such as when Nox effortlessly swatted aside Thanaton ' s lightning attacks . Telekinesis was among the young Sith ' s talents , such as when Nox threw Thanaton clear across the Dark Council chamber . Nox ' s telekinesis was also able to halt Darth Thanaton ' s lightsaber strike and force the experienced Dark Lord to his knees . Darth Nox was immensely proficient in the " innate gift " of Sith Sorcery , particularly the long forgotten Force walk ritual to draw strength from multiple Sith spirits in order to explosively augment their power in the dark side . Their tremendously increased powers through the use of Force Walk was enough to overpower a Sith Lord as strong as Darth Thanaton . As explained by Aloysius Kallig , Nox has a rare " pull among ghosts " , enabling them to sense Nox ' s presence from a distance and invoke long hidden emotions . Nox was also a proficient user of the Force Storm , using it in combat against a variety of enemies and attackers . The young Sith was also capable of using Force drain and used it to drain opponents while invigorating the young Sith and allies . Much like The Emperor ' s Wrath , Darth Nox was extraordinarily strong willed as the young Sith was able to resist the spirits ' attempts to drive the Sith Lord mad , the fear - inducing powers of the Dread Masters , and even the dominating abilities of the Sith Emperor himself .
