Dramath Dramath was a male Sith Lord of the Old Sith Empire , who ruled over the planet Medriaas in the years before the Great Hyperspace War . Possessing little ambition and content to live a hedonistic life ruling his own fief , Dramath unwittingly gave rise to one of the greatest evils in galactic history when one of his many illegitimate children turned on him and condemned Dramath – and ultimately Medriaas – to oblivion . Biography . Old Sith Wars . According to legends circulating among the Sith at the time of the Old Sith Wars , Lord Dramath had a son , Tenebrae , with one of his subjects , a poor farmer ' s wife . Upon learning of Tenebrae ' s existence , Dramath ordered his mother to drown her newborn but his mistress secretly defied him . Years passed and when Tenebrae ' s stepfather , having figured out the truth of his wife ' s affair with Dramath when Tenebrae manifested Force - sensitivity ( as neither he nor his wife were Force - sensitive ) , attempted to attack his wife , Tenebrae snapped his stepfather ' s neck . The young Sith then tortured his mother before eventually killing her . Dramath utterly ignored Tenebrae until his son was the age of ten , then confronted Tenebrae to decide whether he should execute or enslave the boy . Unfortunately , as Dramath discovered to his horror , Tenebrae had already surpassed him in power . Tenebrae killed Dramath , whereupon Marka Ragnos recognized him as Lord Vitiate of Medriaas , which Vitiate renamed " Nathema " . Some years later , following the Sith ' s defeat in the Great Hyperspace War , Vitiate initiated a dark ritual that consumed all life on the planet , rendering it devoid of the Force , and making Dramath ' s illegitimate son effectively immortal . Vitiate would go on to declare himself the Emperor of a revived Sith Empire , and eventually and secretly developed the Eternal Empire with himself as the Eternal Emperor Valkorion . With none left on Nathema to remember him and all records of the planet purged to keep his dark deeds a secret , nobody suspected that Dramath was not entirely dead . Vitiate had in fact kept his father ' s spirit within in a powerful holocron and tortured him for over a thousand years , keeping the holocron in a secret vault beneath a structure called the Sanitarium , the only habitable structure on Nathema . As the centuries wore on , Dramath , in a twisted sense , became the closest thing Vitiate had to a confidante . Encountering the Outlander . In the year 3630 BBY , Valkorion ' s vault was opened by the Outlander , Lana Beniko and the Anomid scientist Jarak to escape a death fog that Valkorion ' s daughter Vaylin had unleashed whilst attempting to undo the damage Valkorion had done to her mind . The Outlander investigated the holocron and released Dramath , who related his story and connection to Valkorion to the Outlander and Beniko . He told the pair to take the holocron , stating that it would help destroy Valkorion , and asked to be freed from his torment . Although the holocron resisted Beniko ' s best efforts to understand exactly what it actually did , the Outlander was able to use the holocron in the final confrontation with Valkorion , enabling Dramath to have some hand in ending the menace Tenebrae had become . Behind the scenes . Dramath is first mentioned in the 2011 " " novel and later makes his first appearance in the " " expansion . Gameplay alternatives . In Chapter VII : Into The Void of the " Knights of the Eternal Throne " expansion , Lord Dramath appeared when the player and Lana Beniko discovered the holocron . Dramath asked to be released from his torment , but Beniko suggested that they keep Dramath in the holocron in case he had more information on Valkorion . The player can choose to free Dramath and allow him to pass on , earning light side points and disapproval from Lana . Alternatively , the player can choose to keep Dramath bound to the holocron , earning dark side points and Lana ' s approval . The latter option will allow Dramath to verbally spar with Valkorion and act as a temporary companion in Chapter IX : The Eternal Throne . Since no other companions are available during the fight with Vaylin ' s spirit , Dramath ' s presence makes the fight much easier . Dramath will sacrifice himself to weaken Valkorion directly , but the Outlander will gain assistance in the next phase .
