[edit] Biography

The Sith Emperor on his throne
"When the Emperor planned on the Republic's destruction, he did not foresee the need for alliances. The Sith would sweep across the galaxy, systematically exterminating their age old Jedi enemies and dismantling the proud Republic."
―The Holocron of Jedi Master Gnost-Dural on the Great Galactic War. — (audio)Listen (file info)[src]

The Emperor survived the ancient Sith Empire's defeat during the Great Hyperspace War, and fled into the Unknown Regions with his most trusted Sith Lords. Here, he began rebuilding the Empire, vowing to return and defeat the Republic.

Using dark rituals, the Emperor prolonged his life and his undisputed rule. He led the Sith Empire during the Great Galactic War and after its conclusion withdrew, deferring control to his Dark Council, in order to pursue his own mysterious goals. By the time of the Great War, he was well over 1,400 years old.[1]

[edit] Behind the scenes

There are many speculations as to who the identity of this Sith Lord could be. The secret of immortality has been commented upon to have belonged to the ancient Sith, who were known to prolong and extend their lives in such a manner. IGN has reported that the Sith Emperor is Naga Sadow,[2] but since other sites, including the official website,[3] remain vague on the matter, the identity of the Sith Emperor remains uncertain. It should be noted that the Tales of the Jedi comic books that established Naga Sadow also established that he died at the hands of Freedon Nadd[source?] about seven hundred years before the events of the game, while later sources, such as Jedi vs. Sith: The Essential Guide to the Force, have been very vague on the subject of Naga Sadow's eventual fate.
