Calphayus Lord Calphayus , also known as the " Prophet of the Masters " , was a powerful Sith Assassin and a member of the Dread Masters . He wielded a cyan bladed saberstaff . Biography . Calphayus was freed with the other Dread Masters by an Imperial who traveled to The Tomb on Belsavis . After demonstrating their powers on a Republic security force , the Dread Masters terrorized the Esh - kha before leaving the planet . After the Sith Emperor ' s supposed death , the Dread Masters broke away from the Empire and decided to take the galaxy for themselves . He planned Asation ' s assault , making his presence clear via mental statements throughout the progression of the Strike teams who came to assist the Gree , though he never appeared on Asation . Calphayus dispatched the three most powerful Commanders of the Dread Host , named Ciphas , Heirad and Kel ' sara . These three Sith sought to stop the strike team , but through their intense battle , they were defeated . Calphayus stated upon Kel ' sara ` s death ; " The Shield is broken , but the sword is drawn . " Calphayus ultimately unleashed the Terror From Beyond after the death of Kephess , but the Terror was defeated and the plans of using Asation as a standing ground failed . Upon their return to Oricon , Calphayus along with the rest of the Dread Masters began to become insane with the loss of Styrak . His visions became stronger and more detailed , but his over confidence led him to believe they were accurate and would in fact occur . Calphayus dueled with the team responsible for the death of Kephess , Styrak , Brontes , Ciphas , Heirad and Kel ' sara . His mastery of time , space and knowledge allowed him to extend his power through the future and past , though his plans were foiled . He was defeated in his inner sanctum and returned to the council room to recuperate . When confronted once more , Calphayus began to emit a deadly field of power , reflecting all damage to the user as he proceeded to drop corrupted fields beneath him , giving his enemies little room to work with . Eventually Calphayus was defeated , but survived the encounter . Broken , alone and free , he escaped the palace , removing the golden crest he and his fellow Dread Masters wore to mask their faces , revealing him to be a withered old man , a testament to how long he had been a Sith and a Dread Master . Calphayus wandered Oricon after the death of his fellow masters , soon arriving at the Republic Strike team camp . There he sought to reason with the team , telling them of his rather human past . He was once married , felt no fear or pain towards his wife or life in general . But once he and his friends , now Dread Masters , studied the Phobis devices , they became linked mentally and physically in a weave of Terror and Madness , distorting and changing him into a living entity of Madness . Calphayus was weak , scared , alone and looking for hope . The strike team decided to show mercy , and let him be cared for and evaluated by the Jedi . Behind the scenes .
