"There is no passion, there is obsession. There is no knowledge, there is conviction. There is no purpose, there is will There is nothing - only me."
Antherion. Once a prince among the Sith, a Lord among Lords, first among a peerage of those of noble bearing in a Galaxy where all was ordered as it very well should be. Antherion, overthrown by his own sister at the height of his power, locked away for over four thousand years to rot and be forgotten in stasis before being at last turned loose. Antherion, touched by the Force, living through what no being should live, given an offer by a being of superior power: rebirth, a return to the height of his strength, everything that he truly desired given to him freely. Darth Vesper, Lord of the Sith, experimenting in hubris. Darth Vesper, cast down, stripped of all his power, all his hope, all his life. Just Antherion. Still no one. Still hungry beyond starvation for power and meaning. Still reaching, still climbing. Forever.

Character Traits
+ Breadth of Knowledge: Antherion, long entombed to dream, has studied at the feet of the ancients and seen Dromund Kaas when it was marked by the height of its glory. Even given his current, diminished state he has access to avenues of sorcery that others do not.
+Manipulative: Lying is easy, but creating one's own truth is difficult. Antherion does both. Having been taught patience and prudence (and paranoia) in a million painful lessons, he has the skill necessary to pull off audacious schemes.
+Mind Blank: Part Epicanthix, part human, part fragment of an ancient, eldritch being who replicated himself for no reason other than its own amusement, Antherion is extremely resistant to mental tampering, on top of training in resisting psychic assault which few Epicanthix ever receive.
+Craving: Everything Antherion does is driven by a desire for power and wealth. There can never be enough, always more, and only more. He is one of the most reliably treacherous beings in the Galaxy, as all that he does and says are motivated by an intense personal desire to hold the Galaxy in the palm of his hand, then every other Galaxy, then the cosmos, then Otherspace, then the Netherworld, then whatever might lie beyond. This drives him to self-destruction.
+Cowardice: The self-styled Dark One places his own life at a premium. Disloyal and craven, he will seek to abscond if he imagines death is a possibility - and more likely allow paranoia to drive hateful action to ensure it never becomes a possibility. He is averse to some of the risks that allow power to be acquired more swiftly.
+Lightsaber Unfamiliarity: In spite of his Sith heritage, Antherion is not trained in the ways of combat or the sword.
+Vulnerability: Due to his Sithspawn heritage, Force Light and attacks that disrupt the Force threaten to unravel the fiber of Antherion's very being.
