Igeorhym

"*Our demands are the total eradication of the Jedi Order and its Republic lapdogs. Only then can the Empire ensure a lasting peace. Surrender and perhaps you will live to see it. Resist and... well, I'll leave that to your imagination. It won't be pleasant.*"
— Darth Igeorhym
**Darth Igeorhym** was a Sith Lord and dark side adept active during the New Galactic War. Sadistic, zealous, and irrevocably sardonic, Igeorhym - born **Cordelia Zinn** - came of age during the cold war between the Republic and Empire, raised on the Imperial banner world of Ziost before "enrolling" in the Sith Academy on Korriban when she came of age. Being of a wealthy and influential Imperial noble family with a pureblooded ancestry, Cordelia's attunement with the Force became obvious as early as six years old, when she nearly snapped one of the family slaves' neck. Thereafter, she was all but confined within the halls of the local Akademia Imperatus, where she received preparatory education in the ways of the Sith before being taken to Korriban at the age of 13.

With her remarkable guile and martial skill, Cordelia excelled above her fellow acolytes at the Sith Academy, and after several grueling years was released into apprenticeship under the enigmatic **Darth Benthamic,** a powerful sorcerer whose progressive ideals put him at odds with many contemporary Sith Lords. He strongly believed that only swift reform could keep the Empire from collapsing at the hands of the Republic, necessitating greater tolerance towards aliens and the non-Force sensitive. When Darth Malgus seceded and formed the New Sith Empire under these ideals, Cordelia and her master aligned with him, hoping that his violent revolt would shock the imperials into reformation. When the gambit failed, Benthamic was captured and imprisoned within Dromund Kaas, leaving Cordelia to fend for herself as a fugitive traitor from the Empire.

After the ensuing Ziost crisis which saw her homeworld face total annihilation at the hands of the disgraced former Emperor, Zinn emerged from exile and rescued her master, allowing the two rogue Sith to go into hiding until the catastrophic invasion of Zakuul. Benthamic ultimately faced his death in the conflict, resolutely fighting for the Sith Empire to the bitter end; when the incursions ended, he, his apprentice, and many other Sith who formerly sided with Malgus were pardoned and their titles restored, a gesture by the new Empress Acina intended to signify a new direction for the badly beaten Sith Empire. To replace her former master's office, Zinn was elevated to the rank of Sith Lord by the reformed Dark Council, allowing her to take the name **Igeorhym** and begin planning her own course to her destiny.

Shortly thereafter, the Zakuul threat was permanently neutralized, allowing the Republic and Empire to reignite their eternal struggle in the form of the New Galactic War. Lord Igeorhym served the powerful Darth Krovos in the early stages of the new war, steadily increasing her renown within the sphere of Military Command due to her uncompromising brutality and commitment to building a truly meritocratic Sith Empire, free from the infighting and zealotry that caused their forebears to nearly destroy themselves. For her valiance in the battle for the Jedi stronghold on Ossus, wherein the Empire scored a resounding victory over the Republic that would grant them the upper hand in the early stages of the war, Igeorhym was granted the title of Darth, making her one of the youngest Sith to attain the coveted status of Dark Lord in recent memory. Thereafter, she began to build her own power base within the Empire, allying with such influential imperial loyalists as Finn Hamm and Shiba Misago in a bid to secure a legacy which would eclipse even the likes of her former master. She would lead her minions to battle in the ensuing struggles for Dantooine and Onderon, eventually joining the ranks of the new **Hand of the Empire**, an elite military order which directly served Empress Acina as her personal executioners. Thus the ascendant Darth Igeorhym would serve the Empress with all her power, remaining dedicated to making the dream of a reborn Sith Empire a reality.
