Paladius Paladius was a Sith Pureblood male and a renegade Sith Lord of the resurgent Sith Empire during the Cold War . He established his own cult on Nar Shaddaa and possessed one of Tulak Hord ' s artifacts . Biography . Initially , Lord Paladius led an undistinguished career as a charismatic , but petty Sith Lord . Because he had been uninterested in conquest or the pursuit of dark secrets of the Force , he left Imperial space for Nar Shaddaa . There he found countless downtrodden people who were easy to manipulate . Greatly benefiting from their zealous devotion , he established his own Cult of the Screaming Blade . When Darth Zash sent her apprentice , Kallig , to Nar Shaddaa , Paladius encountered them . With the help of Rylee Dray and Destris Veran , they managed to infiltrate Paladius ' s rally . Paladius ordered his cultists to attack Kallig , but they were defeated . Afterwards , Paladius contacted Kallig and said he would give Kallig the artifact without any further confrontation . Kallig , along with Dray and Veran , visited Paladius ' s main base . When they arrived , Paladius calmly offered Kallig a drink , but it was quickly revealed that it was all a trap . Paladius had severed Kallig ' s connection to the Force and attacked the young Sith . However , Paladius was overwhelmed and defeated by Kallig . Paladius immediately offered his complete loyalty to Kallig . Veran and Dray protested , but Kallig betrayed them and killed Veran by throwing him off the main platform of the base . Paladius then assured Dray that she would survive , but be punished . Dray attempted to flee , but Paladius killed her with Force lightning . Kallig then left Paladius in charge of the cult in their name . When Moff Pyron contacted the now Lord Kallig , Pyron agreed to side with him against Darth Thanaton if Kallig could deliver him the CN - 12 sensor chip . He told Kallig that his cult on Nar Shaddaa would be able to assist . Kallig met with his cult on Nar Shaddaa , where Paladius welcomed them and assured them they were the future of the Sith . When Kallig asked if he had any CN - 12 chips , Paladius answered that the Veil had bothered them and made them temporarily unavailable . Kallig then traveled to the Veil ' s safehouse , where three men all claimed to be " the Veil . " They wanted Kallig to hand the cult over to them and Kallig would gain many members of the Veil as his servants across the galaxy . Kallig was not fooled , however and killed them all . Kallig returned to Paladius , who greeted him and thanked him . Kallig then told Pyron of his success . Paladius was among those who swore their loyalty to Darth Nox when they ascended to the Dark Council . Powers and Abilities . Paladius was capable of using Force lightning and Force push . It is hinted during his conversation with Kallig that he could also use Force choke . Paladius had a special ability that allowed him to drain the essence of other beings in his immediate vicinity . He also could disrupt their connection to the Force . He relied heavily on this ability . Despite how overweight he was , Paladius still had some skill with a lightsaber , as he was confident enough in his skill that he could beat Kallig , who had had his connection to the Force disrupted . In spite of this , Kallig still defeated Paladius . Behind the scenes . The player can also choose to kill Paladius and hand the cult over to Dray and Veran . If Paladius is spared and the player later agrees to let the Veil takeover the cult , Paladius is shocked and scolds the player for letting their power go to their head . He tells Kallig that they should be taught a lesson , Paladius then attacks the player , but he was defeated for a second time and killed .
