#### Origins

Originally known as Al'va Kir, Darth Malotre's early origins have been long forgotten by him, and the databanks of the Former Galactic Empire. What is known is he was formerly an Imperial Inquisitor, and later Shadow Guard serving Emperor Palpatine at some point during the reign of The Empire. He was noted as being particularly reckless and untamed during his time as an Inquisitor, and eventually his actions drew the eye of Emperor Palpatine, who appointed him to the position of Shadow Guard due to The Emperor feeling his talent was wasted as an Inquisitor. As a Shadow guard he faced multiple force sensitive opponents, some of which were jedi. He found great pleasure in this work, liking the competition he faced, and enjoying the status of being feared by those who he hunted down in the name of The Emperor.

At some point during his time as a shadow guard, Al'va Kir would face off against an unknown darksider who bested the shadow guard, even with Kir having the element of surprise. The darksider was a practitioner of Sith Alchemy, and out of respect for Kir's strength, left him with some knowledge of The Subject. This event sparked a curiosity of the wider reaches of The Dark Side of the Force. With this new hunger for knowledge, Kir would abandon The Empire after Palpatine's death sometime later, and go into hiding. He went into exile in an ancient temple of The Sith, where he would gorge himself on the history of former Dark Siders.

##### The Ritual

After spending an unknown amount of time at the temple, Kir would find an ancient stone tablet inscribed with a ritual that could grant him immense power. Now obsessed with the idea of becoming entrenched in more Sith Knowledge, Kir followed the steps to undergo this ritual. Nearing the end of The Ritual, something went awry, and whether it be from a failing on Al'va Kirs end, degradation of the rituals instruction, or the ritual being a trap from the beginning is unknown. But kir was assailed by the Sith Magic, it warped the skin of his shoulders, chest and hands into an extremely durable, organic Durasteel strength material. His face was transformed into pure energy, and he quickly placed an old Sith helmet made of Sarrassian Iron over his head. This seemed to stop whatever transformation he was undergoing.

#### Powers and Abilities

Darth Malotre had a large arsenal of Force Powers at his disposal, he was known to wield Force Barrier commonly. He also could use Force Combustion, Tutaminis, and Force Fear. Malotre was infamous for his mastery over the "Drain Life" Ability, which was potentially his most devastating power. He used it to drain the life energy of life forms once a month, which he needed to do to maintain his own physical presence in the galaxy. Pyromancy, control over fire was another of Darth Malotre's ablilties, which he gained after defeating Lord of the Eternal Flame Girand in the temple of Naga Sadow on Korriban in his quest for the Star Maps.

Darth Malotre was also a practitioner of "Force Walk", which he learned from the Mind Walkers on the "Sinkhole Station" in The Maw Cluster. He used this ability to convene with Darth Malak in the Lake of Apparitions, where Malak questioned him on his motives on finding the Star Maps. Malotre convinced Malak to tell him the location of the starmap, and Malotre returned to the realm of the living shortly afterward. Malotre also used Mind Walking to enter The Beyond Shadows in order the challenge the Chasm of Trial, the final hurdle to gain access to the Font of Power and Pool of Wisdom. Malotre tried four times to reach the Font, but was unsuccessful each time.

#### Expedition to Kessel
