Darth Plagueis

Darth Plagueis (born Hego Damask II) is a major antagonist in the Star Wars universe. He is the titular villain protagonist of novel Darth Plagueis (a novel in the Legends canon), the overarching antagonist of the Skywalker Saga, serving as the unseen overarching, posthumous antagonist of the Skywalker Saga. Called Plagueis the Wise because of his ancient knowledge of dark Force powers, was the Sith Master of Darth Sidious and, indirectly, one of the reasons Anakin Skywalker fell to the dark side of the Force and the terror Palpatine would instill on the Galaxy for the decades to come. 
==Background==
===Biography===
Known for his wisdom and power, Plagueis was an infamous figure among the Sith who nearly discovered the key to true immortality, possessing the ability to influence Midi-chlorians into preserving the lives of those around him and to gain more power. His most notable Apprentice was Sheev Palpatine, who was secretly the Sith Lord Darth Sidious. He once tried to create a dyad in the Force with his apprentice, Palpatine, but never accomplished this. Plagueis's apprentice eventually betrayed him by killing him in his sleep, in accordance of the Rule of Two.
===Legacy===
After his master's death, Palpatine would achieve the Sith's ultimate goal of revenge by the destruction of the Jedi Order and the reconquest of the galaxy, albeit temporarily until the Battle of Endor. Eventually, Palpatine told Anakin Skywalker Plagueis' plans to find the key up saving others from dying in his attempt to corrupt the young man into his Apprentice. Palpatine noted that it was ironic that he had found a way to save others, yet he couldn't save himself.
