## Biography

Sildan was born to the sith lords, Rishnait and Pexiu on Manaan. Sildan awakened to his abilities at five years old when Pexiu began to train him, Pexiu's training focused on lightsaber combat with only minimal force training, something Rishnait was more suited to do.

One day, one of Rishnait's experiments went awry and caused a massive explosion in the lower laboratories, Rishnait managed to shield himself, but it took the life of his wife, Lord Pexiu.

Sildan survived the blast but with grave injuries, particularly to his vocal cord taking from him the ability to speak. Sildan blamed his father for his injuries and the death of Pexiu and grew resentful, Rishnait then shipped Sildan off to Korriban to be trained at the academy.

Sildan had little patience for the incompetent acolytes, and during their first trial, he hunted each down and killed them.

With only one Acolyte remaining the Overseer let Sildan pass and sent him to his first master, a secretive Lord of the Sith in the sphere of imperial intelligence, Sildan's abilities led the master to employ him as an assassin.

Sildan gradually became better at assassination, and eventually killed his master, he then took his spot as the newest Lord of the Sith under the Dark Lord of the Sith Darth Jadus.

Sildan's new job was to investigate the various imperial intelligence members and eliminate any potential spies; this is how he met Lord Medaes and had his only child, Rahe.

Sildan would eliminate many spies within Imperial Intelligence until, in 3643 BBY, when Darth Zhorrid replaced Darth Jadus.

Zhorrid noticed Sildan and investigated his past, finding out how he managed to become a lord; she found a greater purpose for him and raised his rank to Dark Lord, naming him Darth Elinguis.

As a Dark Lord, he used his new powers to name Rahe, his daughter a Sith Lord.

### Lightsaber training

He applied it in any duel and battle he fought in, drawing heavily on volatile emotions and the dark side to gain the ability to overwhelm a single opponent with sheer tenacity. He was very proficient in Juyo and was a lightsaber specialist good at utilizing his Force powers together with his acrobatic fighting style to allow for a more free flowing fight. In order to grasp Juyo, Elinguis naturally had to master many forms of lightsaber combat. He had superb skills in Niman, allowing him to skillfully incorporate his Force powers into his duelling style.
