Darovit Darovit , also known as Tomcat , was a failed Human Jedi Padawan and failed Sith during the last battles of the New Sith Wars . He was also the cousin of Hardin and the Sith Lord Darth Zannah . Biography . The Jedi scout Torr Snapit discovered Darovit on Somov Rit along with his cousins , Hardin ( known as Bug ) and Zannah ( known as Rain ) . He was allowed to join in the war between the Army of Light and Brotherhood of Darkness by their cousin and guardian , Root . On the way to the Army of Light base on Ruusan , the starship flown by Torr Snapit was brought down in the forest . Snapit allowed the children to cross a rope bridge to safety , then sliced it with his lightsaber . After the Sith and Torr had fallen down the canyon , Darovit climbed down to retrieve Torr ' s lightsaber and found him alive . Although Torr pleaded for him to leave it , Darovit left him dismayed as he took it anyway and rejoined his cousin . The ragged remnants of the Army of Light and the brutal reality of the war failed to fit in with the youth ' s expectations of what being a Jedi would be like . He betrayed the Jedi , murdered General Kiel Charny and joined the Sith as a pupil of Dark Lady Githany . At the end of the Seventh Battle of Ruusan , he turned his back on the dark when he proved unable to kill Hardin . However , no sooner had he made his decision when he became powerless to prevent either his mentor or his cousin from being killed by Lord Kaan ' s thought bomb . He was one of the few survivors of the thought bomb , although he had no idea how he managed it . In reality , it was because his connection to the Force was very weak , especially after Rain left . It was later revealed that the only reason Darovit ever had any power was because of his Force bond with Rain . After the thought bomb , he was drawn to the nexus of trapped souls it had created . There , he encountered Rain ( now using her real name Zannah ) and her Master Darth Bane . Believing Bane to be about to kill them both , Darovit drew his lightsaber against him . Zannah drew on the dark side , exploding the hand Darovit was holding the lightsaber with , to allow Bane to spare his life - her last act of mercy before becoming a true Sith . Later life . Darovit remained on Ruusan , where he was befriended by the Bouncer s , who taught him herbal lore which he used to treat resident humans , who dubbed him " the Healing Hermit . " After years wandering , he finally built a simple hut in the boreal forests in 996 BBY . When Johun Othone was overseeing the creation of the Jedi memorial on Ruusan in 990 BBY , Darovit was enraged and constantly sabotaged the construction . He was later caught by Othone , and the Jedi convinced Darovit to come to Coruscant and let everyone know of the Sith Lords , Bane and Zannah , that he ' d seen . Before he could testify and let his story be known , however , Darovit found Zannah , who was disguised as a Jedi , in the Jedi Archives . Fearing that she ' d be discovered , Zannah took Darovit with her aboard the " Loranda " to Tython . There , Darovit was instructed to hide in the closet inside of Belia Darzu ' s castle , as the Sith Lords engaged in a duel against the pursuing Jedi . Following the aftermath of the duel , Darovit was instructed by Zannah to take the holocron of Belia Darzu and the five lightsabers from the Jedi with him to the " Loranda " . Death . Darovit accompanied Darth Zannah to Ambria , where they confronted Caleb , to heal Darth Bane . When Caleb refused to heal him unless Zannah sent a message to the Jedi , revealing his presence to them , Darovit suggested that Zannah make a deal with him . He thought that Zannah should message the Jedi to let them know of Bane , and that her Master would be arrested , and she could be redeemed . Zannah refused , knowing that Darovit was trying to get her to turn away from the dark side , but Darovit told her it was the only way Caleb would heal Bane , and eventually she agreed . After Caleb healed Bane , Zannah murdered him and used her sorcery to drive Darovit insane . When the Jedi arrived , Zannah had hidden herself and her Master in Caleb ' s hut in a hidden trap door under a blanket . Meanwhile , Darovit , driven mad by illusions , attacked the Jedi with Valenthyne Farfalla ' s lightsaber , and was cut down immediately . Since the Jedi believed he was the Sith Lord that Caleb had spoken of , they investigated no further into the matter , and returned to Coruscant with Caleb ' s remains , never finding Zannah and Bane . Powers and abilities . Darovit was a moderately powerful Force user . After interacting with Darth Bane and his cousin Zannah at the thought bomb site his hand was exploded , but due to his isolation from the galactic society he never was able to get a cybernetic to replace it . Even though he had very little formal training he was still fairly competent . He was able to kill a handful of Jedi soldiers but since a majority of the Army of Light was built up of mostly teenage force sensitives with only a month or so of training , this was not a great display of skill . However , it still showed Darovit was capable in the field of battle . It was made clear , however , that he was no match for the Sith ' ari Darth Bane , and when he fought the Jedi on Ambria , he was cut down quickly , though this was likely due to his mind having just been broken by Zannah . He was stated to be a good hunter and skilled basic weapon and stick combat . Darovit was not a very powerful Force user but he was not useless . He could use the Force to augment his physical ability to the point where he could keep away from a Jedi Knight . He was able to use basic telekinesis when he was young but rarely used it . He was able to cloak himself from people using the Force and had a knowledge of using flora and making the into weapons like acids and trappings . He became a skilled healer whilst living on Ruusan . Behind the scenes . " The New Essential Chronology " , " The Dark Forces Saga " and " The Book of Sith : Secrets from the Dark Side " mistakenly identify Darovit as Zannah ' s brother , when , in fact , the original source " " establishes them as cousins . Initially there was some debate as to whether or not Darovit was Force - sensitive , and whether " Jedi vs . Sith " intended to hint at this or whether it is just the result of over - analytical fans . This debate , however , was ended when " " specifically identified him as Force - sensitive , albeit only slightly . Also , in Rule of Two his name was once misspelled Darovti ( most likely a typo ) . Also during Zannah ' s Force Choking of him in " " it is said that " his hands clawing at his throat " — seeing as he only had one hand at the time , this is a misprint .
