Jariad Korsin Jariad Korsin was a male Human High Lord of the planet Kesh ' s Lost Tribe of Sith in the years following the Great Hyperspace War . The son of Sith mineralogical corps members Devore and Seelah Korsin , Korsin was just an infant on board the Sith dreadnaught " Omen " when it crashed on the remote , isolated world of Kesh after a Jedi attack at the height of the Great Hyperspace War . Korsin survived the disaster along with his parents , though soon after the crash Devore died at the hands of his brother , " Omen " captain Yaru Korsin , after an attempted power grab . The survivors soon took dominion over the planet ' s Keshiri natives and established the Lost Tribe of Sith , with Yaru at its head . Although Korsin ' s mother married Yaru in an effort to secure Korsin ' s future , she never lost a burning hatred of the former naval captain for Devore ' s death , and raised Korsin to share that fury . Together , Korsin and his mother plotted for years to wreak their vengeance upon Yaru and install Korsin as the new Grand Lord of the Lost Tribe . In the meantime , Korsin became an extremely prominent figure in Keshiri society , using political flair and savvy to establish himself as a popular choice for future Grand Lordship , and using his superior lightsaber skills to lead the Sith Saber honor detail — which he secretly trained as a strike force in anticipation of his and Seelah ' s uprising . In 4975 BBY , they finally decided it was time to strike . Attacking the now - aged Yaru near the mountain - based Kesh Sith Temple , Korsin and his Sith Sabers gained the upper hand and severely wounded the Grand Lord . However , the timely arrival of Korsin ' s half - sister Nida and her uvak - riding Skyborn Rangers , fighting on Yaru ' s side , turned the tide of the battle , and Korsin eventually died in combat . Biography . Growing up Sith . A Human male , Jariad Korsin was born circa 5000 BBY to Sith mineralogical corps members Devore and Seelah Korsin . That year , at the height of the Great Hyperspace War between the Sith Empire and the Galactic Republic , the infant Korsin accompanied his parents on a Lignan mining mission to the planet Phaegon III ' s largest moon . Korsin and his family went aboard the Sith starship " Omen " , captained by Devore ' s half - brother , Yaru Korsin . However , the " Omen " came under attack by Jedi , causing it to veer off - course as the vessel jumped to hyperspace . As the ship headed to parts unknown , a gravity well tore the " Omen " apart , and the Sith dreadnaught reverted back to realspace toward a mysterious world known as Kesh . Korsin survived the disaster in his mother ' s arms , and as chaos erupted aboard the " Omen " , Devore ordered his wife to take Korsin with her to the escape pods . The escape pods were completely inaccessible , however , and instead , Seelah brought Korsin with her to the bridge , where the ever - volatile Devore was fighting with his brother over the ship ' s controls . After everyone took cover , the " Omen " hurtled into Kesh ' s atmosphere , eventually smashing into a mountain range . Although the ship was destroyed , the infant Korsin , along with his family , survived the crash . Among 355 survivors , the Korsins made their way to a clearing below the crash site , a treacherous journey in which twenty - one perished . Those who remained set up a rudimentary camp , where Korsin spent more time with Devore while his mother focused on treating the injured and sick . Not long after the crash , Devore made an ill - fated attempt to wrest control of the group from Yaru , leading to a lightsaber duel and Devore ' s death . Korsin and his mother were kept unaware about the circumstances of Devore ' s demise , which had occurred away from the camp near the remains of the " Omen " . Through the chance arrival of an indigenous Keshiri woman , Adari Vaal , the Sith were able to escape their entrapment in the mountains , posing as the native gods to gain the allegiance of the Keshiri masses . The Sith were moved into the homes of the Keshiri ruling council , the Neshtovar , and Korsin lived with his mother and Yaru in Neshtovar leader Izri Dazh ' s house . Although the Sith were eager to find a way off the remote planet , they soon found there was none , and Korsin grew up in isolation from the rest of the galaxy . In the coming years , the survivors of the " Omen " crash formed a new Sith organization known as the Lost Tribe of Sith , with Yaru firmly at its head as Grand Lord . Korsin ' s mother married Yaru and bore him a daughter , Nida , in an attempt to secure the future of herself and her son . As a result , Korsin was brought up in relative luxury , first in the capital city of Tahv and later in the Kesh Sith Temple high in the mountains near the " Omen " wreckage . At some point , Seelah came to believe that Yaru had been responsible for Devore ' s death and instilled in Korsin a burning hatred for his stepfather . Together , they plotted to get their revenge on the Grand Lord and place Korsin at the helm of the Lost Tribe . One of their first objectives was to remove the pureblood Sith element from the Lost Tribe , in an effort to instill an all - Human purity in the group . In 4985 BBY , Korsin ' s mother was at the forefront of a conspiracy to frame the few purebloods who still remained in the Tribe for several massacres of Keshiri in the southern towns of the Ragnos Lakes region , actually engineered by Seelah herself . The misdirection was a complete success : Yaru became convinced of the purebloods ' complicity in the deaths and ordered a wholesale purge of the beings from the face of Kesh . The genocide lasted a single night , toward the end of which the pureblood leader , Ravilan Wroth , was captured and held in a public plaza in Tahv . After a short , tense conversation between Seelah and Wroth , Korsin leaped from the shadows , wielding a vibroblade . He then drew his lightsaber and killed Wroth . Plan in motion . As Korsin grew into a man , he gained a reputation as something of a wild child , which he would shed as he came of age and became a popular choice to succeed Yaru as Grand Lord . Around 4975 BBY , now – High Lord Korsin founded the Sith Saber s , a ceremonial honor detail that specialized in lightsaber feats , placing himself as head with Yaru ' s blessing . That year , with all endeavors to find a way off Kesh foiled , the Lost Tribe of Sith decided to commit to staying on Kesh for good . Their intentions were announced in a massive celebration in Tahv ' s Circle Eternal plaza . The ceremony featured a demonstration by the Sith Sabers , led by Korsin . By then , Korsin ' s mother had grown absolutely certain that Yaru was responsible for Devore ' s death twenty - five years prior , and as the celebration drew to a close , Seelah assured Korsin that their time for vengeance was at hand . Over the past several weeks , Korsin had ramped up heavier combat training for his Sabers , whom he meant to serve as his strike force . After the ceremony , Korsin enacted the first part of their plan — misdirection . Korsin would stage a practice duel with his Sith Sabers in front of Yaru , soundly thrashing them , then proclaim that he was taking them to the distant Northern Reaches for training . That would ensure that Yaru , even if he did suspect that Korsin and Seelah were up to something , would not expect them to strike anytime soon . The phase went off without a hitch — Korsin went so far as to sever one of his Sabers ' hands , and soon got his stepfather ' s permission to remove his Sabers to the Northern Reaches . Later on , while Yaru paced the Kesh Sith Temple accompanied by his Houk friend Gloyd and four bodyguards , Korsin gathered his Sabers and ambushed his target . Before Yaru could react , Korsin had him surrounded , outnumbered four - to - one . Seelah soon appeared and joined the standoff , but as the two sides faced each other down , suddenly dozens of uvak beasts rose to the sky . As it happened , a secret Keshiri resistance group headed by Adari Vaal had chosen that moment to carry out their final plan , which involved the theft of the uvak beasts vital to Sith dominion over Kesh . The rise of the uvak provided just enough of a diversion to allow Yaru to break the circle and flee to better ground . A full - scale lightsaber duel was on . Although Yaru battled back valiantly , his force was dwindling , and he began to lose strength . Korsin finally cornered the Grand Lord near a high precipice and released all his anger , furiously slashing at him again and again . However , as Korsin moved in for the kill , his sister Nida suddenly appeared on uvak - back with members of her Skyborn Rangers riding club . Nida and her Rangers were the last trick up Yaru ' s sleeve , and they flew into the fray and turned the tide of the battle . Korsin fought his sister in a desperate attempt to repel their advance , but he himself was wounded . In his last moments , Yaru attempted to throw Korsin over the precipice — although the Grand Lord failed , Nida did it instead , and Korsin fell to his death . With Korsin ' s slaying , Seelah ' s plots were completely foiled . Yaru soon died from his injuries , and Nida Korsin took over the mantle of Grand Lord . Personality and traits . Influenced by his mother from a young age , Jariad Korsin always harbored a burning , homicidal hatred of his stepfather , Yaru Korsin . Korsin was very loyal to his mother , killing at her command as early as his teens . Although once a wild child , Korsin matured somewhat as he entered his twenties and gained a certain political savvy — he carried himself in public with a resolute swagger , making every pause a pose for history . Although he never knew his biological father , Devore , Korsin took after him greatly . Self - absorbed , Korsin was apt to cut corners just as his father was , either doing nothing or overdoing it . Korsin saw himself as the future of the Lost Tribe and was quick to proclaim that destiny to his stepfather as he faced him down near the Kesh Sith Temple , before their fateful battle . Ultimately , it was these traits inherited from his father that doomed Korsin to his demise , as he was thrown to his death from the same precipice where Devore had met his end . Nearly a third of a meter taller than his stepfather Yaru , Korsin had tan skin and jet - black hair . Powers and abilities . Both of Jariad Korsin ' s parents were Force - sensitive , and Korsin inherited that quality from them at birth . Growing up in the Lost Tribe , Korsin was trained in the dark side , and by his teen years he had become adept with both a lightsaber and a vibroblade . By the time he reached his twenties and had become the head of the Sith Sabers , Korsin ' s skill with a lightsaber had improved greatly ; he was able to dispatch multiple armed attackers without exerting much energy . However , his saber skills , as excellent as they were , were not sufficient to prevent his death in 4975 BBY . In that fateful battle , Korsin ' s incompetence as a trainer reared its head , as his Sabers found themselves unprepared for the fight . Korsin was a capable uvak - rider , as the winged beasts provided the primary mode of transportation for the Lost Tribe in his time . Behind the scenes .
