Darth Intris was a male human NPC Sith Lord in the Star Wars: Old Republic campaign.

## Biographical Information

### Place of Death

Hephestos

Darth Intris was a Dark Lord of the Sith and the primary force behind the Sith-Republic War. He was able to secretly build up his forces and invade the Old Republic with a series of lightning fast attacks, all while keeping his true identity a secret. He was eventually slain on the deep core planet Hephestos by the Heroes of the Sith-Republic War, while searching for a Dark Side artifact that would have made him nearly unstoppable.

## Background

The man better known as Darth Intris was born Zell Millor on the planet Scipio. His parents were working class folks who lived in one of the worse neighborhoods on the planet. One night his parents were murdered as bystanders of a gang war. Zell was spared, as his mother covered him with her body as it was riddled with blaster shots.

Zell grew up in an orphanage and was sent on his own when he was of age. He showed a strength and ambition in trying to establish himself, but was largely unsuccessful in spite of this. Then he and his latent talent in the Force came to the attention of a Sith Lord who called himself Darth Hark, who took him as his learner. Hark easily preyed upon Zell’s pain of having lost his parents to a galaxy too weak to keep chaotic tragedy from happening to a young boy.

## As a Sith Lord

Zell learned all he could from his master, who was the initial architect of the war plans to conquer the Republic. Zell took to the mission with gusto, mostly because it was his belief that only a galaxy ruled by an iron fisted empire could instill the kind of order the galaxy needs to prevent the kind of chaos that allowed his parents to be slain. To achieve the rank of Dark Lord, however, he slew his master, claiming the title and the man's plans of invasion for himself.

Intris was aware of the fact that in order to instill the kind of order he craved, he must needed more chaos in the form of war, but felt that this was only because the Republic would not submit themselves to true order.

Darth Intris was determined to bringing order to the Galaxy, and nearly all his actions in his life were ends to those means. However, one of the things he learned from Hark, who was very much a master of brute force, was that subtlety and stealth made one far less of a target and therefore able to achieve ones goals much faster. However, he knew that brute force and an figurehead would be needed to achive his goals, and so he mentored Darth Quellik the Dark Side.

While Darth Quellik was more skilled with brute force, Darth Intris was far more about trickery, and much preferred to capture Jedi and turn them rather than simply execute them.

## Civilian Life

Though a Sith, Zell Millor also pursued a career as a business tycoon as a cover for his power and travel. As such, he swiftly rose through the ranks to become the CEO of GalaxCorps Industries, a position which he used to keep taps on the goings on in the Republic that he would exploit in his role as Darth Intris.

## Sith-Republic War

Through is proxy, Darth Quellik, Darth Intris conducted the Sith-Republic War that nearly brought the Old Republic to it's knees. At the height of the war, Intris's forces had conquered dozens of worlds, including the Republic capital of Coruscant. Intris himself remained largely hidden, most in the Republic believing that Quellik was the actual head of the Sith forces.
In between conducting his the war and maintaining his cover as Zell Millor, Intris also quested for the fabled Circlet of Velton Saar, an ancient Dark Side artifact that would grant him nearly limitless power.

## Death

Near the height of the Sith-Republic War, Darth Intris finally manged to locate the Circlet of Velton Sarr on the deep core planet of Hephestos. Traveling there immediately he found the ancient tomb that held the artifact. He was moments from claiming it when the Heroes of the Sith-Republic War arrived, aware of his plan, and engaged him in combat.
Unwilling to be deterred when so close to ultimate victory, Intris engaged them with the full force of his Dark Side powers, specifically Force Lightning, which he was an unparalleled master of. Unfortunately for him, the lightning detonated the many explosives that Jedi Master Loring Zeff had brought to the battle. The resulting explosion slew Intris, Zeff and Jedi Knight Shiha Mandel, who had all been engaged in lightsaber combat. The explosion aslo mortally wounded Padawan Luna Doth, who barely survived.

## Beyond Death

Somehow the spirits of Darth Intris, Loring Zeff and Shiha Mandel survived their death, but were trapped in the temple where they'd died, suspended in time. Thousands of years later a xenoarchaeological expedition led by Dr. Henrietya Antilles in cooperation with the First Order Security Bureau traveled to Hephestos, now known as KBF-8736c.
There the expedition came upon a trio of strange crystals. Radly Belko touched one of them, releasing Intris, Zeff and Mandel as Force Spirits, who were unaware of any time passing and seemed to continue their duel.

All three spirits seemed to detect the Force Talisman worn by Rixx Corren, as well as the man's Force Powers, and urged them to allow them to bond with the amulet. Intris offered the path to unparalleled power if Corren accepted his offer. Corren refused, however, and joined the spirits of Zeff and Mandel in destroying the Force Spirit of Darth Intris.
