Raptus Raptus , regarded as the " Weaver of Nightmares " , was the unofficial leader of the Dread Masters , a powerful group of dark side sorcerers with immense power , capable of inducing fear into an entire army . He and his fellow Dread Masters were imprisoned on Belsavis but later rescued by an Imperial Rescue Team . He wielded a purple bladed lightsaber . Since his escape along side his fellow Dread Masters , Raptus became impatient with the silence of the Emperor . Deciding that their power was being wasted on an Empire with no Emperor , Raptus and his fellow Dread Masters decided to take the galaxy for themselves . The Dread Masters ' first independent strike against the Empire and Republic in unity was on the planet Denova where their influence spread to Warlord Kephess and his forces who started a warzone on the planet , fighting for ' The Masters ' . When Kephess fell , the Dread Masters turned to Asation , a major port world to the Gree Enclave . There the Dread Masters used an Ancient Hypergate to release a deadly creature known as the Terror From Beyond . Like Kephess , who was revived by the Masters , the Terror was destroyed by joint Republic and Imperial efforts . In desperation to bounce back from two losses , the Dread Masters returned their Dread Army to Section X , a place of high security and darkness on Belsavis . There they sought to use the Aurora Cannon , a Rakatan weapon of large mass and power . The cannon was destroyed , and their efforts thwarted . With the Hutt Cartel rearming after the events of Makeb , they took to Darvannis where Dread Master Styrak lay in wait . There Styrak corrupted Darvannis from the shadows , soon attacking the strike teams of the Republic and Empire . Styrak fell , causing Raptus and his fellow Dread Masters to appear as apparitions to take what little power the dying Styrak had to increase their own . Soon the Masters took to Oricon , rebuilding their forces and pooling them into the dark moon . Raptus , being their leader , would ensure that his presence be known across Oricon by both the Republic and the Empire . Upon the arrival of the Dread Executioners and the Republic Strike team , he mentally stated " By Oricon ' s next sun rise , your worlds will burn . " Raptus then sought to use various orbital ships and shuttles to bring terror on planets such as Coruscant , Dromund Kaas and Nar Shaddaa . These plans were foiled . Having their commanders killed and their ships destroyed , Raptus and the other Masters confronted those responsible and stated " For every Dread Guard killed , one of you will die ! " . The Masters delivered region - wide terror to the strike team in retaliation for this attack before leaving those responsible to contemplate on their actions . After the apparent defeat of Bestia , Tyrans and Calphayus , Raptus was the last Dread Master standing in the palace . Being their leader , they had saved the worst for last . Raptus confronted the team , soon pitting them against the trials of their discipline of healing , damage and survival . Raptus ' was soon defeated after his tests were completed , much to his displeasure . Raptus soon retreated to the council chambers , awaiting those who attacked the palace . There along with Bestia , Tyrans and Calphayus , they began their last stand . At the peak of their power , Styrak returned claiming ' We fight as one ! ' , also to be joined by Brontes . The six Dread Masters were whole once more , but it was too late . In their last attempts , they used a powerful Force technique that would began to leech all life around them , only to have this plan fail . Raptus died along with Tyrans and Bestia , leaving Calphayus as the last surviving Dread Master .
