Darth Ruil

## Darth Ruil / Lord Darzu

Bio: Born Belia Darzu, the force sensitive Darth Ruil was apprenticed to the dark regimes Shadow Master Darth Caecus and after the Galactic Civil war joined her master in serving Darth Falkor and Darth Morla as servants of the Shadowbringer Dreadnaught. The Shi’ido Changling who was already adept at hiding physically by changing to look like others learnt also how to hide herself inside the force or even mask her force persuasion to other force sensitives.

During the mission to Ska Gora with her master, Darth Ruil stole the identity of a Cloddogran woman named Darlash who worked the door at the Flame Tygah Tavern on Shikaakwa. Using the woman’s form Darth Ruil was able to coax The Midnight Runners pilot Redman Reed into joining her in a private room away from Darth Caecus, Captain Cass Gemini and Anmetei M’lo who met in the tavern below.

It was then that Darth Ruil killed Redman Reed and assumed his physical form in a bid to gain control of the Midnight Runner for her true Master Darth Dogmaar in an act of treason to Darth Caecus. Her ultimate goal, to double cross Darth Caecus and also Darth Dogmaar before he could return the long lost God Emporor Dreadwar from the beyond, but not before gaining his secrets of Dark alchemy and control over machines.

After successfully retrieving the Gree super weapon plans from the Rakattan temple on Ska Gora, Darth Ruil betrayed her master Darth Caecus as planned and returned both the Midnight Runner and the plans to Lord Falkor.

Rewarded for her success and ambition Lord Falkor promoted Darth Ruil to Shadow Master and gave her the Midnight Runner as her own to operate under his fleets banner. Little did he know that Ruil was secretly now apprenticed to the secret head of a group of powerful Darth Dreadwar loyalists Lord Dogmarr and planed to bring back the the long lost Emperor Dreadwar in a bid to overthrow the Darkshield and restore the Eternal Sith Empire.

Her ambition is seemed knew no bounds as even this was just a means to an end.. the Shiído planned to use her loyalty to get close enough to the God Emperor to eventually overthrow him too, placing herself at the head of the Sith Order. The Battle of Tython however put an abrupt end to those plans and she found herself aboard the Shadowbringer Dreadnaught during the battle with her ship the Midnight Runner safely docked in the ships hanger.

After traveling back in time along with the Shadowbringer dreadnought and the majority of the Darksider armada, Darth Ruil quickly abandoned Darth Falkors flagship and changed her name back to her birth name. Preferring now to look like a tall human woman with short brown hair. Belia Darzu, as she was now known joined the new Sith Empire in 1252 BBY and sought out the abilities she long desired in order to achieve her ambitious goals, and by 1250 BBY was crowned a Lord of the Sith.

Over the following year's Lord Darzu learned many new abilities including her sought after dark abilities of Flesh Alchemy and Mechu Deru on the planet of Tython where she build a grand fortress and later discovered the Holocron of Darth Ruin.

She later died on Tython in the year 1230 BBY at the hands of the Je'daii and her fortress was placed under permanent quarantine, but not before she created a holocron of her own.

Nearly 160 years later, a young Je'daii Journeyer named Lyra Bathori explored the forbidden fortress remains and discovered a secret laboratory of Dark Lord Darzu. Inside, among the remains of many sadistic and twisted experiments she found a living brain of a centuries old Icarii prisoner inside a jar of clear fluid. Lyra removed the jar as proof of her daring exploration and using her natural talents for engineering to create a droid body for the brain which she later called Bob.
