**Darth Sidious**, born as **Sheev Palpatine** and also simply known as **The Emperor** (born 82 BBY on Naboo; first death in 4 ABY on Death Star II, Endor system; second death in 35 ABY on Exegol), is a Dark Lord of the Sith and the main antagonist of the *Star Wars* universe.

As the senator of Naboo, he cultivated two identities (Sidious and Palpatine) to further his political career and he was eventually elected the Supreme Chancellor of the Galactic Republic. With his Sith apprentices Darth Maul and Darth Tyranus, Sidious orchestrated the Clone Wars to achieve galactic dominance with the fall of the Republic and destruction of the Jedi Order. Sidious also lured Anakin Skywalker to the dark side as his new apprentice, Darth Vader, and reorganized the Republic into the Galactic Empire, declaring himself Emperor. His reign is unchallenged until the formation of the Rebel Alliance. During the Galactic Civil War, Sidious sought to replace Vader with his son, Luke Skywalker. This backfired when Vader renounced the dark side and killed his master to protect Luke, destroying the Sith and bringing balance to the Force as the prophesied Chosen One.

However, Sidious was later able to use the dark side to resurrect himself inside a cloned body. Upon reviving, he aimed to take revenge on the Skywalkers and return to power. His plans culminated in the emergence of the First Order and destruction of the New Republic, the establishment of Sith Eternal's fleet (the Final Order), besides luring Ben Solo (the heir to the Skywalker bloodline) to the dark side by communicating with him through the Force and creating Supreme Leader Snoke, who eventually becomes Kylo Ren's master. During the Battle of Exegol, he was finally killed by his granddaughter, Rey, who called upon the strength of past Jedi and turned his own power against him.
