## Biography

### Early career

A man was a possible follower of Revan during the Mandalorian Wars. He eventually turned to the Dark Side and witnessed as Revan and Malak became Sith Lords. Revan created his own Sith Empire, and trained the man as his disciple. Secuulas completed his training, becoming a Sith Lord, and was eventually named "Darth Secuulas." He was tasked by Revan to train many Sith in the Trayus Academy on Malachor V, following the Mandalorian Wars. However, Secuulas eventually came to serve the Sith Emperor Vitiate.

### Meeting Nihilus

Eventually, an unidentified man, who was a Jedi who survived the devastation of Malachor V, was taken into the Trayus Academy. There, Secuulas met the man, and told him that it was his destiny to become a Sith. The two dueled, but the hunger was consuming the man. Secuulas told the man that he is a Wound in the Force, that the effects of the devastation of Malachor V corrupted him, and that the Dark Side was already corrupting him. The man got more weakened, as the hunger for the Force was consuming him. Secuulas finally convinced the man to join the academy, and the man drained the Force out of every assassin he trained with.

Eventually, the Sith Triumvirate was formed, ruled by three Sith Lords. Darths Sion, Traya, and Nihilus. However, everything fell apart, Traya was betrayed and exiled by her students, and the Sith Triumvirate split, one followed Sion and the other Nihilus. Secuulas however, continued what he has been doing, training Sith at the Trayus Academy, and continued to serve the Sith Emperor Vitiate.

### Training Bao-Dur

Eventually, a Zabrak man entered the Trayus Academy on Malachor V. He entered the Trayus Academy while Secuulas was training a bunch of Sith Assassins. The Zabrak arrived. Secuulas greeted the stranger, and tested him by sending the assassins to him. The Zabrak man, whose name is Bao-Dur, defeated all of the assassins. Secuulas was impressed, and said that his pain is familiar, that Bao-Dur was a wound in the Force. However, Secuulas notified Bao-Dur that there is a far greater power out there, the Sith that no one sees, Vitiate. Bao-Dur explained why he wanted to join the Sith, which made Secuulas impressed with him. Secuulas agreed to train Bao-Dur, but used his lightsaber to cut off his arm in the process. Secuulas told Bao-Dur that the Dark Side's power would heal Bao-Dur's broken body. Secuulas announced Bao-Dur as his apprentice.

At some point, Bao-Dur was at the peak of his training, and Secuulas asked Bao-Dur if he was ready for the next phase. Bao-Dur agreed. Secuulas asked if he was sure, as the process would be painful. Bao-Dur simply replied that it "must be done."

### Promoted to Shadow Hand and hunting Meetra Surik

Eventually, Darth Nihilus summoned Secuulas to come into the main room on Nihilus's flagship, the *Ravager*. Nihilus informed Secuulas that Visas Marr has betrayed him. Nihilus promoted Secuulas to Shadow Hand and made him his "apprentice." Secuulas told the Dark Lord that he will follow his instructions.
