Darth Vader

> I am not your failure, Obi-Wan. You didn’t kill Anakin Skywalker. I did.

> - Darth Vader

**Darth Vader**, formerly **Anakin Skywalker** is a Sith Lord and the Commander-in-Chief of the Imperial Military, acting as the apprentice and right-hand of the Emperor, Darth Sidious. As his master's primary enforcer and a top general, he was appointed to lead the Galactic Empire's efforts in stomping rebellion and eradicating the last of the Jedi. After his duel on Mustafar with his old Jedi mentor Obi-Wan Kenobi, Darth Vader became more machine than man, living inside of a cloaked life support suit.

## Personality

Ruthless, enigmatic, cold, staunch, tenacious, and brutal, Darth Vader is a civilian general who commands a frightening presence that makes virtually anyone, ally or foe, shiver at his approach. The Stormtroopers and a few of the competent or brave Imperial Officers are doggedly loyal to him to the point of "worship" due to his effective, though cruel, command style and his fighting on the front lines. Although he carries out his master's whims without question, Vader yearns to one day occupy Sidious' seat of Emperor.

He views every action he takes as a means to an end and has no sympathy towards those oppressed by the Empire and is utterly merciless towards his enemies. In addition, Darth Vader is infamously intolerant of failure and insurgency, and those who fail or show ineptitude under his command often fear for their lives and rightly so.

Darth Vader is also more than willing to deal with threats himself if necessary as he arrived at Lothal, upon the Darth Sidious' orders, to deal with the rebels and the Jedi leading them. He followed the rebels to their fleet and nearly destroyed them alone rather than sending a fleet, showing that he doesn't let others do what he can do himself.

Once, he was a great Jedi and war hero named Anakin Skywalker. Brave, compassionate, he was a daring warrior and defender of the innocent. He cared deeply his allies and friends and would support them to the very end. That man is lost, buried within a pathetic, wretched shell of life-supporting armor, prosthetic limbs and a dampened spirit that has lost all hope of ever returning to the light, and so has more-or-less made peace with his lot in life. As such, Vader intends to follow the ways of the Sith, specifically the Rule of Two, and so find a worthy apprentice and one day kill Sidious to assume his place as ruler of the galaxy.

A key factor to Vader's evil is his refusal to truly acknowledge his own sins and what his actions wrought upon both him and the galaxy, instead shifting blame onto those he feels betrayed him, because the truth is too painful to accept. It is for this reason he had no desire to restore the bond he once shared with his former apprentice, Ahsoka Tano; she was a living memory of the man he once was, and, in his own twisted way, he was angry at her for leaving him and the Jedi Order, something he perceived later on as a form of betrayal. Thus, he sought to destroy her and wipe his past away completely. He also did not want to have any reminders of his old self as he felt that any reminders of that would weaken him.

However, despite his ruthless atrocities and apparent refusal to truly acknowledge his own sins, Vader secretly carries a deep self-loathing and many regrets, as he was haunted for the rest of his life for failing to save his mother, as well as for causing the death of his wife and apparently his unborn child and as a result of these events, Vader was severely depressed. With nothing else to live for, he turned to the only one who would ever accept him out of a longing for companionship, but also to patiently wait for his chance to usurp his master and make him pay for ruining his life.

## Powers and Abilities

Darth Vader is among the most powerful individuals in the galaxy, and second only to the Emperor within the Empire. Before the Republic fell, Anakin was the most powerful Jedi Knight and in the Jedi Order, the only superiors or equals being Mace Windu, Yoda, and his master, Obi-Wan Kenobi.
