Cytharat Cytharat was a pureblood Sith male Sith Lord of the Sith Empire during the Galactic War . Biography . Cytharat was brought out of the Sith Academy by Darth Malgus , who would later betray the Empire ; despite his association with Malgus , Cytharat remained with the real Empire , and continued to serve to atone for his master ' s treachery . During the Empire ' s campaign against the Hutt Cartel on the planet Makeb in 3639 BBY , Cytharat served as tactical advisor to the support team sent by Dark Council member Darth Marr to secure the planet ' s supply of the rare substance isotope - 5 . He arrived at the orbital docking ring of Gravity Hook Seven along with support team leader Katha Niar and Captain Hanthor after the gravity hook was captured by the ground team . When the Hutts ' stored supply of isotope - 5 was discovered in a fortress codenamed " Stronghold One " , the ground team moved in to capture the vault with Cytharat leading troops in support to ensure the InterStellar Regulators did not send in reinforcements . However , the vault was found to be empty , the isotope installed in an army of war droids by order of Archon Szajin . Outnumbered and outgunned , the ground team was forced to pull out ; looking for possible solutions , New Thinking Division scientist Nadrin Tro sent Cytharat and his team schematics for the stronghold ' s heat shields ; Cytharat and the ground team would work in unison to disable it and flood the vault with magma , but at the cost of Cytharat and his men . The ground team ultimately went with Nadrin ' s plan , and Cytharat accepted his fate as a matter of duty . With his men killed and surrounded by isotope - 5 war droids , Cytharat lowered the heat shield and filled the security center with magma , taking the war droids with him . Personality and traits . Cytharat professed unwavering loyalty to the Empire in general and to his superiors . Despite having been Malgus ' protégé , he did not approve of his treachery . In addition to his reliability , Lord Cytharat was also a skilled tactician , and he would always keep his cool , even in crisis situations or when badly wounded . In regards to romance and sexuality , Cytharat was attracted to people of his own sex . Because of his Sith blood , Cytharat had decidedly non - Human features , such as glowing yellow eyes , crimson skin , pointy cheekbones and a set of tendrils hanging down from his chin and temples . His hands , however , had five fingers , while those of the then - extinct pure Sith had only three . Cytharat had raven black hair , which he kept cropped and slicked back , and he wore a piece of golden jewelry on the bridge of his nose . Behind the scenes . Cytharat first appeared in " , " a digital expansion released in 2012 for the video game " . " Cytharat ' s fate is determined on the player ' s conversation choices ; the article implies that the dark side option is canon . The alternative light side option is to order Cytharat to rendezvous with the player at the security station ; he and his men will be wounded , but they will survive and be sent back to Dromund Kaas for recovery . After the Archon is defeated in the mission " Revenge of the Archon " , Captain Hanthor will mention to Darth Marr in the debriefing that Cytharat is nearly recovered and will return from Dromund Kaas soon . Cytharat can only be romanced by male player characters , and when " Rise of the Hutt Cartel " was released , he became the first male same - sex romance ( or rather , flirtation ) option in series . Flirtations with Cytharat will only culminate in a kiss if the light side option is taken and Cytharat lives .
