**Darth Magice** originally **Rishnait Graush** and sometimes called **Emperor Graush** is a powerful Dark Lord of the Sith from the time of the Cold War and the Galactic War. He vanished around the time of the Attack on Korriban by the Eternal Empire. He left a Holocron behind in his acient sith academy that was rediscovered in 1001 ABY: He is currently the self-proclaimed king and emperor of Zakuul.

## Biography

### Early life

Magice was born in 3707 BBY under the name Rishnait; his father raised him on Ziost which is also where he began his training as an Acolyte, having shown great force capabilities, his parents shipped him to Korriban.

The Overseers tried to teach him; however, Rishnait was already a powerful force-user and quickly passed his trials, slaying the acolytes to earn his place among the sith.

### Lord of the Sith

The Dark Lord of the Sith, Darth Aleph, took him in and trained him; together they unlocked many mysteries of the dark side, both steadily driving each other slightly insane until one-day Rishnait slew his master and claimed the title: Lord of the Sith.

From this point on, Lord Rishnait secluded himself; he travelled to Manaan where he claimed his late master's laboratories.

Around twenty Years later, a woman, Lord Pexiu, stepped into what he named his Domain, Pexiu was a Sith Pureblood, a lord sent by the Dark Council to retrieve Rishnait from Manaan.

### Fatherhood

The arrival of the woman marked the start of Rishnait's love life, Pexiu and Rishnait, another Pureblood fell for each other and in 3678 BBY, had their first child. A boy, which they named Sildan, and years later in 3672 BBY, their second child, also a boy, named Khishi,

In the following years, Rishnait's experimentation continued, aided by his firstborn son, Sildan. One day, however, an experiment went awry. It exploded, and the explosion killed Pexiu as she came looking for the two, Rishnait had managed to shield only himself. He was the only one to escape unscathed, Sildan was hit in the throat by shrapnel from the explosion, burying itself in his vocal tract, causing him to lose forever his ability to speak.

His other child, Khishi was far enough not to get caught, and Rishnait raised both sons alone, Rishnait having learned the fragility of life, began new experiments, the study of longevity and immortality. And he placed the lord who mothered his children in a unique secret laboratory under his home.

When the two boys came of age, he took them to the Academy on Korriban, first Sildan then Khishi. Rishnait then retreated into seclusion to continue his experiments alone for many years; his isolation and obsession with experiments drew him deeper into madness.

### Apprentice

Rishnait found a young human girl named Rây'elri at the academy of Korriban, one of the acolytes. Rishnait convinced her overseer to release her to Rishnait's service.

Rishnait took the young girl to Manaan where he began to train her, both in the Dark side and in the light.

Rishnait would often send her to Korriban and Dromund Kaas to gather research for him.

### Temple of Rishnait

In 3645 BBY, he went to Yavin IV, where he discovered an ancient Massassi Temple.

Rishnait reconstructed the temple then planted clues across the galaxy, hints that in the years to come he knew his sons would eventually pick up on, and follow to discover his temple finally.

Having lured Sildan and Khishi to his temple, he eventually discovered that Sildan had a daughter, named Rahe.

He would continue to rebuild the temple, Khishi would believe it was Sildan's doing, Sildan would think it to be Khishi.

In secret, he would typically lure his granddaughter to the courtyard and force the native Massassi to attack her, to train her, until Sildan discovered him in 3639 BBY and attacked him.

### Magice

Rishnait left the temple and returned to Manaan; eventually the Dark Council member, Darth Nox would visit him and bring him back to Korriban.

After much consideration and investigating his activity, they saw it fit to raise his position to a Dark Lord of the Sith, and Rishnait arose as Darth Magice.

After being appointed a Dark Lord, he yet only had a single apprentice, as a result, he took on the apprentices, the humans Prezac Mortorb and the Keshiri Anac Taalon.

### Magice Academy

The newly appointed Darth Magice would take his old apprentice to the temple on Yavin IV and reveal himself to his family that had gathered there and told them about the temple, he named it Magice Academy.

Magice gathered followers from the ranks of the sith empire into his service, Sith Acolytes, Apprentices, and Lords as well as soldiers from the ranks of the Imperial military.

He would continue to train Rây'elri at Magice academy; he would also complete Khishi's training and begin to teach Rahe.

### Final Apprentices

Magice built his office in the upper levels of the academy and returned to Manaan to fetch his research and his wife, only to find his laboratory ransacked.

His wife's body appeared to be safe, and he began to search his laboratories, eventually finding the culprit, a little girl named Rose.

He found the girl to have a knack for Sith Alchemy and took her back to Yavin IV, where he made her his eighth apprentice.

However, led by the will of the Dark Side, he returned to Korriban one last time to take a final apprentice, whom he would devote most of his time to training, her name was Maliris Kallig.

### Reunion

After the destruction of Korriban by the Eternal Empire, Magice' son Sildan returned to the academy; he notified his father that he had become the Dark Lord, Darth Elinguis and that the Sith Empire would soon fall.

Magice ordered the military arm that he commanded to find the plans that the empire had retrieved from Belsavis, years before, and begin construction of a giant ship.

His subordinates began to convert his flagship, a Harrower-class dreadnaught, and he brought his family and followers onto the ship.

Magice's flagship, the Resurgent, would later enter into the unknown regions, never to be seen again.

### Return

After the Jedi discovered his holocron they were eventually led to the unknown regions, and together with the Imperial Knights, rediscovered the Resurgent. Upon attacking one of the guard droids, they unknowingly initiated a program that would wake each one of the ancient sith that were aboard the ship.

Darth Magice was able to quickly return to the bridge before the Imperial Knights could seize it and took control of the situation. He asked the Jedi and Imperial Knights to leave him in peace, but after they refused, he destroyed the Imperial forces. However, before he could kill all the Jedi and Imperial Knights, they were summoned by Jidoec Marr and Vatir. Darth Magice was able to escape, he travelled to the planet of Iol and took control of Tangan Industries.

### Dominion

While Darth Magice gathered all the knowledge he could of history since the Cold War, he sent his sons Darth Elinguis and Darth Caedem to gather allies. Darth Elinguis is successful in locating the hutt cartel's Supreme Mogul, Rotta the Hutt, and, together with Darth Magice they bring the Hutt Cartel into their fold. the sith used their extensive political power to bolster their military force and move unseen throughout the galaxy.

They later contacted the Mandalorians and formed an alliance with Mandalore the Redeemer, gaining allies within House Ordo. Magice took his most trusted allies to the planet Zakuul where he reformed the Sith Council from the same model employed by the late Sith Emperor, while keeping the exact location of Zakuul known only to the council.

## Personality and traits

Darth Magice, unlike most Sith Lords, cares very little for the Sith as a philosophy. He does not make enemies unnecessarily, as long as others do not stand in his way, he will most likely not harm them. He is cautious and known for his dominant endeavour; he forsook both the Sith code and the Jedi code, he instead chose to follow a different philosophy, reminiscent of the unifying force.

Magice sees strength where the Sith sees weakness, yet he is aware of the Jedi's flaws. While many Sith would deliberately attempt to be cruel, or the Jedi be merciful, Magice carefully examines each situation before deciding on a course of action. His patience ensures that many of his plans come to fruition, he plans virtually every move, and he calculates everything he does. However, Magice sometimes over-plans his actions, and if something unexpected occurs, then much of his long-time planning falls to ruin.

## Powers and abilities

### Lightsaber Training

Magice was somewhat proficient in lightsaber combat, he favoured Form III: Soresu and Form II. Makashi above any other forms due to his force abilities being far more developed than his skills with a lightsaber, to compensate for his weakness with a lightsaber, he also practised Tràkata.

### Force Powers

Even as a child, Magice possessed immense strength in the Force, and his abilities began to manifest themselves at the age of six. Magice used a wide variety of Force abilities, including Force plague, Force speed, Force Crush, Force kill and Force storm. Magice was also a master of Force Drain, which he could use to kill dozens instantaneously and simultaneously, while also draining their connection to the force, permanently severing someone' connection to the force while strengthening his own. Although most victims of this ability died in the process.

### Languages Known

Magice is a native speaker of the Sith language, although during his time on Korriban he also learned to speak Galactic Basic Standard and Huttese, in the later years on Zakuul he studied several other languages.

### Other abilities

Magice spent much time studying the secrets of the dark side, becoming one of the most powerful masters of Sith alchemy. Magice could perform many feats that had first been manifested by the Dark Lord Naga Sadow, such as transforming the living into monstrous, brutal beasts and giving flesh to those spirits already departed.

## Equipment

   Magice's second lightsaber is the one he has been carrying since he became a lord of the sith, although Magice has switched out its parts many times; it's a red shoto outfitted with a qixoni crystal.

Magice had his armour built from fibre mesh with plates of Durasteel and Phrik on his gloves, chest, and boots, making his Armour highly resistant to lightsaber strikes, making him considerably difficult to take down. Magice often wears a phrik mask, but only when he's expecting combat.
