## History

Palpatine was trained by Darth Plagueis. After learning everything he knew, he killed him while he was sleeping and proceeded to take up Darth Maul as an apprentice. Starting out as a senator, he was elected the Supreme Chancellor of the Galactic Republic, and later became the Sith Emperor of the Galactic Empire, after the Jedi's destruction; until he was killed by his redeemed apprentice, Anakin Skywalker/Darth Vader, when he tried to kill the latter's son, Luke. However, he came back to life years later, taking control of the First Order and becoming Kylo Ren's new master.

When Kylo encountered Palpatine on Exegol in 35 ABY, Palpatine promised to give Kylo control of his Sith fleet, the largest starfleet in the history of the galaxy, which he had spent the past several years amassing. He was later revealed to be the grandfather of Rey, and wanted her to give into the dark side and kill him so they could become one and she can rule the Final Order as Empress Palpatine. When a redeemed Ben Solo stopped her from submitting to his wishes, Palpatine used the power of their Force dyad to revitalize himself and regenerate his damaged body before trying to wipe out the Resistance with his Force lightning. With Ben's help, Rey managed to destroy Palpatine for the last time.
