BiographyEdit

Revenge against the JediEdit

Once a former Jedi, she and her comrades fled from the Jedi Order because the Jedi Council didn't agree with their delving into the Dark side of the Force. Following which, the Dark Jedi attempted to overthrow the Order, in a war known as the Hundred-Year Darkness. Learning the power of Dark Side alchemy, Syn became one of the top commanders in the Dark Jedi. During the war, she developed a number of creatures, Shamblers, Howlers, Pit Horrors, and Leviathans, the latter which was used to break the barricades of the Jedi during a battle on Balmorra. However, Syn and the other Dark Jedi were defeated at the Battle of Corbos. Afterwards, Syn and the eleven other surviving dark siders were forcefully put on a ship and exiled.

Exile on KorribanEdit

During the war, Syn collected rumors and information from refugees about Sith space and the Sith people, who possessed a special knowledge of the dark side. Therefore, she and the survivors steered the ship to the unknown, making sure the Jedi or Republic could not follow them.

After arriving on Korriban, homeworld of the pureblood sith, they landed in the Valley of the Sleeping King. Initially the Sith, under their king Hakagram Graush, greeted the Exiles with hostility; however, the Dark Jedi were able to use their superior technology, lightsabers, and Force knowledge to foil their attempts. The Dark Jedi then suborned Graush's Shadow Hand to their side, with the result that Graush was betrayed to the Dark Jedi and was executed by their leader Ajunta Pall, who used Graush's own war sword to do the deed. After which, Pall took Graush's place as leader of the Sith. The Dark Jedi, referred to as "Jen'jidai", became the first Sith Lords, with Pall becoming the first Dark Lord of the Sith. The former Jedi then took the knowledge of the Sith and made it their own, and created the first Sith Empire.

Not long after, Sorzus decided to create her first diary, titled "exile and arrival", in which she detailed the events during the war and after their defeat against the Jedi. In her own view about the arrival of the Dark Jedi and the triumph of the Sith, Syn expressed hope that she became Dark Lord.

Exploring the dark sideEdit

Shortly afterwards, the Sith worlds and hyperspace routes were mapped by the Dark Jedi. On the throne of the planet Ziost, the Dark Jedi built their own palaces and formed a Sith Council under the leadership of Ajunta Pall; however, Syn expressed hope that his reign would not last long. In the following years, she created powerful artifacts for her fellow Sith Lords. She created a talisman for Karness Muur. However, she planned to actually create several such talismans, with the second going to Muur's bitter rival Dreypa, and the third, which was the most powerful amulet would remain in her possession. They also found out that the Sith's blood was similar to their own, so Syn was able to understand about the manipulation of the dark side.

After the Dark Jedi had settled on Ziost, Syn returned with a group of priests and slaves back to Korriban to open the sealed tombs. In the entrance of the monastery of nasty torture, they lost about two slaves before they could penetrate to the sarcophagus inside the temple. At the end of the seventh day they entered the sanctuary of Sakkra-piano, which had been sealed for nearly 10,000 years, it would no longer open. In addition to the scrolls through Sith alchemy, Syn found the Sith holocron of the former King Nakgru, from whom she learned more about the Sith and the rule of their ancestral King Adas. This discovery prompted them to explore the other worlds of the sith. At the sight of a chained Draethos, she realized that she had more to delve into the star maps, so they could trace the raids of the Sith. They decided to return to the palace on Ziost, express the desire to make a Kriegswyrm against the walls of the Jedi Temple to use. The roles of the Sith Alchemy allowed her to accumulate the knowledge, however, it was not succeeded in eliciting the other holocrons. She and the group decided to expand their search until they found a buried Mongrel with hidden scrolls. She attained that they had to take valuable information for the more complaints to themselves. As an alchemist, she was able to learn the long-lost incantations and magic arts of the Sith and their research on the Sith Code.

Book of the SithEdit

In her diary, Sorzus took the story about how the Jedi Order found Tython. After a summary of the First Great Schism, she expressed her regret that the Order had learned nothing from the spin-off and started to follow the old ways of the Jedi instead of following the dark side. She explained her view about the the Hundred Years' darkness, the arrival on Korriban, the start of culture, and the tradition of the Sith. She also wrote down the findings on the weapons and artifacts of the Sith, bringing them into the new rule of the Sith. Then, she talked about her findings from the holocron and agreed to the rise of the ancestral King Adas, who led it to make her own research on the conquest of the Sith.

After a chapter on the war beasts, she traveled to the Sith alchemy, and explained her findings to the incantations of Sith magic. Along with her group, they compared the codes of the Jedi and the Sith, explaining the prophecy of Sith'ari.

LegacyEdit

A part of her diary, started from the third month of their exile, remained intact after her death and was included in the archive of the Jedi Temple where Grand Master Yoda and Jedi Master Mace Windu examined the pages written in which she pointed primarily to the dangers of the dark side. In the wake of the Great Jedi Purge, the book came into the possession of the new Emperor Darth Sidious. According to his statement, these statements were the oldest text that lasted for thousands of years. He noted that all the authors collected were Sorzus Syn, Darth Malgus, Darth Bane, Darth Plagueis, and Mother Talzin. They were believed to be strong in their own dogma and were removed from the path that the Sith had. When the book fell into the hands of Grand Master Luke Skywalker, he tried to associate the contributions to their time. He believed that the scriptures were written in the years after 7,000 BBY. The entries of the Jedi that he dated to a time before the Battle of Naboo in 32 BBY, and Sidious' remarks, after he seized power in 19 BBY.
