Palpatine

Emperor Palpatine, also known as Darth Sidious, was the last Chancellor of the Galactic Republic and the first Emperor of the Galactic Empire. He was a Dark Lord of the Sith who followed the Rule of Two and was considered by many to be the most powerful Sith Lord who ever existed.
==Backstory==
Palpatine was able to establish his Empire by concocting a complex master plan, which involved starting the Clone Wars, a galaxy-wide conflict that cost billions of sentient lives. Palpatine himself headed both the Galactic Republic and, secretly, the Confederacy of Independent Systems, which allowed him to prolong the conflict in order to gain more executive powers from the Senate. He would seduce a young Darth Vader to the Dark Side, the spark that set his plans in motion to take control of the Galaxy.
When his power as Chancellor had reached its dictorial peak, Palpatine abolished the Republic and replaced it with the first Galactic Empire with himself as leader. With the Imperialization of the galaxy, the newly appointed Emperor Palpatine effectively had total control over its people, and was able to create one of the most powerful military forces the galaxy had ever seen. For nineteen years, Palpatine's rule would go relatively unopposed, until disgruntled former Imperial senators founded the Alliance to Restore the Republic. This act would spark the Galactic Civil War, that would ravage the Galaxy, with battles fought between the two sides in various systems.
Palpatine would pioneer the creation of several superweapons, including the First and Second Death Star, Tarkin Superweapon, the Suncrusher and more at the Maw Installation. He would also promote xenophobia in the Empire, surpressing non-humans Galaxy-wide, forcing many into slavery. Most worlds afflicted by the Empire were too scared to stand up against Palpatine, fearful of incurring the wrath of the Imperial army.
Upon discovery of his apprentice's son, Palpatine would turn his attention to the capture of young Rebel Luke Skywalker, seeking to turn the Jedi to the dark side to give him an even more powerful apprentice. Palpatine allowed Vader to hunt down Skywalker in an attempt to capture him, all attempts have failed, though several have been close to being successful.
Palpatine makes his home on Coruscant, in the Imperial City, where he can oversee the operations of the Empire with his close personal associates alongside him.
