Darth Zereth

"The dark side gives one the power to do things that many would consider unnatural. It frees us. It allows us to be our most powerful. Oppositely, the light side enslaves, prohibits one from being his true self."

- Darth Zereth

Zereth Khelfentoth—titled Darth Zereth, was a force-sensitive male Human who became a Sith Lord and was formerly a Jedi Master. He was born prior to the Mandalorian Wars. He was taken by the Jedi Order and was trained to become a Jedi. He served the Jedi Order for quite some time before falling to the dark side prior to the Jedi Civil War.

He, along with some other people, were commissioned to an unknown remote planet located within the Unknown Regions. Failing to retreat the planet after being attacked, his comrades thought he was dead. The planet was home to a group of dark side cultists. He was tortured nonstop, thus leading his fall to the dark side of the Force. He tapped to the dark side fully and used his powers to overpower the cultists, killing them all.

He stayed on the planet, studying about the dark side of the Force. He eventually joined the Sith Triumvirate, earning the trust of his fellow Sith sometime after. He personally learned from the three infamous Sith Lords Darth Nihilus, Darth Traya, and Darth Sion. After his death on the moon of Zyrgos, he was resurrected by his apprentice Azazel. He joined Apocalyptos' Reborn True Sith Empire and sometime before the Battle of Exegol, joined Darth Sidious' Sith Eternal.

Old Republic
Born Zereth Khelfentoth, he was taken by the Jedi Order as an infant and was trained to be a Jedi. He was known as one of the most skilled duelists of the Order, as he was a master of all seven lightsaber forms.

Fall to the Dark Side
Zereth, along with some people including Dan and Alex, were tasked to go to Zyrgos—a mysterious planet located within the Unknown Regions. Shortly upon their arrival, they were attacked by a powerful, blood-curdling force-sensitive cult which resulted them to retreat. Dan and Alex were the first ones to escape the planet. Meanwhile, Zereth and two of his remaining camerades slowed down the assailants. The two were able to make it to the ship, but when they looked back they saw Zereth from afar being taken within the shadows; getting pulled away by the attackers.

They left the planet, assuming that he was dead. Poor Zereth was left alone on that terrifying planet. He was taken to a citadel by the cultists and was tortured nonstop causing him to tap onto dark side of the Force fully. He overpowered the cultists, using his power to destroy every single one of them. After purging everyone, he stayed on the planet, studying the cult's knowledge about the dark side of the Force.

Joining the Sith
After being on the planet for nearly a decade, Zereth finally left armed tons of new knowledge about the dark side. With the recent death of its leader, the Sith Empire once more finds itself on a state of dismay. That is until when Darth Sion, Darth Nihilus, and Darth Traya rised to restore the order. He joined the new Sith Triumvirate, the former Sith Killer earned the trust of his fellow Sith comrades and now became an infamous Jedi killer. Darth Zereth learned from the three of the most powerful Sith at that time: Nihilus, the Lord of Hunger; Sion, the Lord of Pain; and Traya, the Dark Lord of the Sith Triumvirate. From all the knowledge of these Sith Lords and the cult, he grew stronger and stronger.

Final Death


Rey went to Exegol alone to face Darth Sidious and transmitted the route to the Resistance. Upon finding her grandfather surrounded by the Sith Eternal audience which includes Zereth himself in the throne room, Rey was welcomed by Sidious, who claimed he never wanted her dead but rather brought to him to succeed him as "Empress Palpatine". Zereth watched as Sidious attempted to goad her into striking him down much like he did to Luke Skywalker thirty-one years before, remarking that while Skywalker had his father to save him that day, he was the only family she had. In actuality, Sidious wished for Rey to strike him down in order to initiate a Sith ritual that would transfer his spirit from the decaying clone body into the youthful Rey's, where he hoped to take control of her body.

However, a glimpse of hope for Rey came when a redeemed Ben Solo arrived on Exegol to help her in her fight against Sidious. Unknown to Sidious, his granddaughter had been stalling for time upon feeling that Solo had arrived on Exegol, precluding her from succumbing to the temptations of absolute power and the dark side of the Force. Feigning that she was going to strike him down with the lightsaber that once belonged to Anakin Skywalker, Rey transferred the lightsaber to Solo through their Force-bond, allowing Solo to promptly destroy the Knights of Ren while Rey ignited the lightsaber of Leia Organa. The Sovereign Protectors came, but Rey easily dispatched all of them.

With all the Knights and Sovereign Protectors dead, Solo joined Rey and dropped into a fighting stance against Sidious. Sidious used the Force to drain the life energy of both Force-users in order to restore himself to full strength. Intending to dispose of the Resistance as well with his powers now stronger than ever before, the Emperor shot an immense amount of Force lightning into the atmosphere of Exegol, thereby disabling every Resistance ship for the time being. His attention soon returned to Rey who was now empowered by the ghosts of the past Jedi, in which Sidious then unleashed a barrage of Force lightning on his granddaughter in order to kill her, which she deflected the Force lightning back onto him. Darth Sidious was destroyed by his own power, utterly vaporizing his entire body and releasing a great force wave that decimated the entire arena along with killing all of the Sith Eternal loyalists. As a part of the crowd, Zereth had nowhere to go and was too late to react as multiple debris fell on him, instantly ending his life.
