Palpatine

Sheev Palpatine, also known as Darth Sidious or simply as the Emperor, is the main antagonist of the Skywalker Saga of the Star Wars franchise.
Starting out as the Senator of Naboo, Palpatine was elected the Supreme Chancellor of the Galactic Republic, and later became the Sith Emperor of the Galactic Empire, after ordering the genocide of the Jedi Order. He was eventually killed by his redeemed former apprentice, Anakin Skywalker/Darth Vader, when he tried to kill his son, Luke Skywalker. However, he came back to life years later, taking control of the First Order from the shadows and corrupting Ben Solo/Kylo Ren's mind through Snoke. But when he tried to attack and stop the Resistance and the citizens' fleet from destroying the Sith Eternal's fleet (the Final Order) with his Force lightning, he was finally killed by his granddaughter, Rey Skywalker, the daughter of one of his clones that was his "son."
