Emperor Palpatine

Emperor Palpatine is one of the main antagonists of Phase two, and the founder of the Illuminati. He is a tyrannical Galactic Emperor, as well as a Sith Lord. After death, he ascended to become the Iris.

## Backstory

Sheev Palpatine was born into a rich family on the planet of Naboo. He already had a strong connection to the Dark Side in his childhood, and eventually ended up becoming the apprentice of Darth Plagueis. Palpatine became a politican, gained more power and ended up betraying and killing Plagueis. He orchestrated an intergalactic war that has spanned for three years, resulting in trillions of lives being lost. At the end of the Clone Wars, he turned Anakin Skywalker into Darth Vader, overthrew the Galactic Republic, and made his own fascist dictatorship known as the Empire. Palpatine is also the founder of the Illuminati, having attempted to take over the Multiverse with them. Eventually, Adrian Veidt betrayed the Illuminati and managed to kill Palpatine. However, the Emperor's soul made a deal with Mephisto, and ascended to become The Iris. He attempted to destroy Earth in his new form, but was stopped by Exetior and his allies. Palpatine's soul is completly destroyed currently, with the Iris itself being blown to pieces.

## Personality

At first, as Senator and then Chancellor, Sheev Palpatine appeared to be a kind, compassionate, friendly, well-meaning public servant who had the best interest for the Galaxy. However, this was nothing more than a public façade that he made up to hide his true nature as the Sith Lord Darth Sidious, He is actually a murderous, power-hungry, sadistic, treacherous, manipulative and arrogant psychopath whose only true goal is to take total control of the galaxy. Cold, dominant and heartless, those who weren't obedient to Sidious were destroyed, often tortured to death as Sidious never held true feelings or attachment towards anyone, not even his apprentices. Despite his arrogance, Sidious is highly intelligent, patient and manipulative, possessing some sense of humor as shown by his laughter. Unlike most of the other Sith Lords, he prefers using mental breaking and the Force over physical strength, and he dislikes fighting with lightsabers, preferring this option only as a last resort or when he clearly had the upper hand.
