Darth Ruin

Darth Ruin is a major posthumous antagonist appearing in the Star Wars Legends. Originally an Umbaran Jedi Master known as Phanius, Ruin served on the Jedi High Council during the days of the Old Republic. As he grew older and his skill with yielding the force grew, Phanius grew a tremendous appetite for knowledge. This desire and craving for knowledge, eventually caused him to embrace the philosophy of solipsism, leading to his condemnation by the the rest of the council. Angered over the order’s refusal to support his newfound ideology, Phanius turned to the dark side of the force and joined the the ranks of the Sith. Now known as Darth Ruin, the former Jedi Master would rally the renmnts if the Sith order under his rule, establishing his own Sith empire that nearly destroyed the republic. However, as his powers with the dark side grew so did his ego, causing him to be hated by his disciples. Tired of his oppressive rule, his servants eventually rose against him and assassinated him, leading to the fragmentation of his empire.
