Transmutation Specialist: Having honed his abilities, both directly and indirectly, over the years, Darth Metus has ascended to the mantle of "transmutative master". He is capable of combining a variety of distinct arts into a singular masterworks with great success; arguably making him one of the most skilled Alchemists in the Galaxy. (+)
Scholar: Between his own experience and the wealth of information literally plugged into his skull, Darth Metus is a walking, talking vault of knowledge. (+)
Ocular Hypersensitivity: Although mighty in his own right, Darth Metus cannot escape the shortcomings of his host. Chief amongst these is a pronounced sensitivity to sudden, intense flashes of light (i.e. flashbangs, etc.) Whilst the effect is great, it is not nearly as deadly as a full-fledged Umbaran, it is more than enough to be considered his Achilles' Heel. (-)
Whispers of Will: It is very seldom that Mandalorians go down without fighting. In the case of a stolen body and mind, this fact is indeed true. While Darth Metus is indeed the master of his current form, the host occasionally fights back. Hard. This can cause lapses in control; sometimes momentarily and sometimes for pronounced periods. (-)
Appearance
Due to the fact that the sole difference between Darth Metus and his host is who controls the body, there is no difference in appearance between the Sith and the Mandalorian. However, for the sake of promoting his own identity, Metus has taken to wearing a rather iconic mask at all times, coupled with armor and flowing robes of zeyd-cloth. Black of course.

There walks a God upon the hallowed ground of Coruscant. By his Will were wandering and lost Sith gathered under one banner. By his Vision was the Galactic Republic torn asunder. He is known by few names and even fewer titles. Some refer to him as the Dark Lord of the Sith. Yet the entity known as Darth Metus hails him as "father". You see, unlike the countless souls born shrieking into the world, Metus was created. He was a manifestation of the Dark Lord's plan: a means of keeping a powerful asset...obedient.
Ambition led one [member="Isley Verd"] to heed a summons meant for Sith seeking vengeance against the once-powerful Republic. His skill with Alchemy and brief tenure in the Empire deluded his mind into believing he deserved a place in this new undertaking. Yet this man was plagued by a weakness: a vulnerability born solely based upon where he was born. He was a Mandalorian; and as such would always hearken to the calls of Home above all else.
This would not do.
Upon their fateful meeting, the Dark Lord branded the ambitious one. He reduced the Mandalorian to a humbled state by merely uttering a whisper. There was potential in him, yes, and it would be harnessed. It would be controlled. Darth Metus was the name uttered on that day, not intended for the Alchemist...but rather for the virus now born within him. This shadow of the Dark Lord would grow within the Mandalorian and seize control, bringing his full potential under the influence of His Will.
And while it took some doing, Darth Metus finally succeeded.
