Darth Chratis Darth Chratis was a male Sith Lord of the Sith Empire who served the Imperial mission during the Cold War . Biography . Darth Chratis was preceded by his reputation as a brutal taskmaster to Sith apprentices , and his training methods were looked upon with scorn by members of the Sith Emperor ' s Dark Council . Nevertheless , he was allowed to continue training students , and by 3667 BBY , Chratis had taken a young Human girl named Eldon Ax as his latest protégé . In 3643 BBY , Darth Chratis and his apprentice were granted permission to pursue the Imperial fugitive Lema Xandret , who happened to also be the biological mother of Ax . With half of an Imperial division under his command , Darth Chratis waited above the planet Krant as his apprentice , while on a mission to Hutta , obtained information leading to Xandret ' s redoubt on the hidden world of Sebaddon . When Ax returned with her findings , Darth Chratis led his contingent to Sebaddon with intentions of subjugating the world in the name of the Emperor . Upon their arrival , however , the Sith bore witness to the full scope of Xandret ' s megalomania ; her Fastbreeder combat droids were embroiled in combat with a flotilla of Republic starships under the command of Jedi Grand Master Satele Shan . Chratis ' mission saw him enter into an alliance with Shan , but he was ultimately killed by his apprentice during the subsequent battle for Sebaddon . Personality and traits . Darth Chratis was a man with blood - red eyes that were set in a deeply wrinkled face . His knife - thin lips parted to reveal a nearly transparent tongue and needle - sharp teeth , and a decrepit voice . Chratis had hands with withered talons for nails , and his feet made the sound of crushed leaves when he walked . Darth Chratis was of the contention that his apprentices lived to serve the Emperor through him , and strove to impart that belief to them . Chratis felt that the Jedi were limited in their potential because they refused to embrace the Force in its entirety ; he believed that the teachings of Jedi Masters were inherently flawed because they taught repression of oneself , as opposed to the acceptance and exploitation of one ' s emotions in the pursuit of greater power . To Chratis , strength was only born from conflict , and conflict was a necessity so long as enemies existed . The threat of force was often more than enough to compel others into Chratis ' s service . Powers and abilities . Darth Chratis believed in the virtues of meditation and did so for at least an hour a day . The isolation Chratis experienced while sealed within his meditation sarcophagus forced the Sith Lord to rely solely on his own power for sustenance . Darth Chratis was able to summon devastating blasts of Force lightning , which he used to both destroy numerous hex droids and incapacitate the enraged Shigar Konshi . Lord Chratis supported himself by a long staff with a pointed end . However , when the need arose , Chratis ' staff collapsed to half length and revealed his lightsaber concealed within , being wielded as a long - handled lightsaber . Its elongated hilt afforded the Sith Lord a significant increase in the reach of his blade . Darth Chratis could read minds , communicate telepathically , and use Force lightning . Behind the scenes . Darth Chratis was first introduced in " " , a novel based on the written by author Sean Williams . Among the eight main characters , all of whom represent player classes from " Star Wars : The Old Republic " , Darth Chratis represented the Sith Inquisitor class , an Imperial class that relies mainly on ranged Force powers , rather than physical attack .
