Ajunta Pall Ajunta Pall was a male Human Jedi Master and the leader of the Dark Jedi that were exiled from the Jedi Order and the Galactic Republic following the Hundred - Year Darkness . Upon his arrival on Korriban , he became the first Dark Lord of the Sith . He was regarded as the manifestation of " Typhojem , the Left - Handed God " by the Kissai . Long after his death , his spirit was redeemed by the Jedi Knight Revan during the Jedi Civil War . Biography . In life . A Force - sensitive Human , Ajunta Pall was a member of the Jedi Order following the First Great Schism . Undergoing training in the ways of the Force , Pall first attained the rank of Jedi Knight , then attained the rank of Jedi Master and began studying the ways of alchemy . Eventually through his studies , Master Pall discovered the secret of creating and shaping life ; fearful of this power , the Order deemed it an abomination of the Force and sought to erase all practice of it . The Jedi High Council barred the teachings of Pall and his followers , deeming him a pawn of the dark side of the Force . Angered by what they deemed Jedi arrogance , Master Pall and his followers declared war on the Order , beginning a century - long conflict that would be known to history as the Hundred - Year Darkness . Obtaining significant power , the now High General Pall slew more than a dozen Jedi during the final battle of the war on Corbos , but he and his fellow Dark Jedi were defeated nonetheless . Captured by his former comrades in the Jedi Order , Master Pall and his followers were stripped of their ranks and their weapons and exiled from space controlled by the Galactic Republic . Traveling from one planet to the other in search of a habitable world , the Exiles eventually discovered Korriban on the Outer Rim . Venturing out into the wastes of the desert planet , the Exiles were intrigued upon discovering the world was home to a Force - sensitive species known as the Sith who , while relatively primitive when compared to the Dark Jedi , were quite creative in their knowledge of the Force . The Sith , under their King Hakagram Graush , initially resisted the Dark Jedi ' s attempt to obtain their knowledge and subjugate them ; however , Pall managed to recruit the King ' s Shadow Hand to their side , with the result that Graush was betrayed to the Dark Jedi , and Pall personally executed Graush with his own sword . Afterwards , the Sith species , in awe of Pall and his followers ' ships and technology , as well as their skills in manipulating the Force , quickly came to worship the visitors to their planet , hailing them as their gods . Pall and his followers then subjugated the natives and his new Sith subjects revered him as their ' Jen ' ari , ' meaning ' Dark Lord ' . As the first Dark Lord of the Sith , Ajunta Pall founded the first Sith Empire and expanded it onto other worlds . The Sith took over the planet Ziost and created it as their capital and as Pall ' s new home . Pall eventually died after serving the Empire for many decades , but his Empire lived on . His body was returned to Korriban , where it was placed in a massive tomb in what would come to be called the Valley of the Dark Lords . After Death . After his physical death , Ajunta Pall ' s spirit persisted within his tomb , having attached his soul to the physical world through his extensive knowledge of alchemy . Over the centuries , he began to question his actions as a Sith Lord and the downfall the Lords experienced at each other ' s hand . Millennia after his death , during the Jedi Civil War , Jedi Knight Revan entered Ajunta Pall ' s tomb to retrieve the Sith Lord ' s sword so that he could gain prestige from the nearby Sith academy , which he hoped would ultimately lead to his accessing a Star Map containing partial coordinates of the Star Forge . Ajunta Pall appeared as a spirit and told Revan of his actions as a Sith , with disappointment and shame , telling him of how the Jedi weren ' t what drove the Sith to destruction after the Hundred - Year Darkness . Pall explained how the Sith themselves battled each other and led their Order close to death and that he felt nothing but remorse . Revan removed the Dark Lord ' s blade and convinced Pall to turn away from the dark side and return to the light . Letting go of his pain and anguish , Pall returned to the light and became one with the Force , finding peace at last . It is said that Revan gave the sword to Master Uthar Wynn at the academy , obtaining the prestige necessary to reach the Star Map . Before his spirit was finished , Pall hinted at a secret source of Sith power . He was unable to reconcile conflicted images of whether Revan had discovered this source of power , or would soon do so . Behind the scenes .
