~/darth-plagueisThe scholar of the dark side. He seeks to conquer death through esotericism, science, and the manipulation of midi-chlorians, attempting to elevate the Sith from a political conspiracy to a metaphysical triumph. Yet his master-level science cannot cure the fatal structural flaw of the tradition: he is murdered in his sleep by his own apprentice. He represents the Sith attempt to transcend mortality through individual will, and the tragic irony that success in training an heir guarantees your own destruction.
~/darth-tyranusThe political idealist who fell to elegance. A former Jedi Master who left the Order because he saw its capture by a corrupt Republic, he turns to the Sith not out of raw, chaotic fury, but as an elegant, aristocratic instrument to rebuild the galaxy. His tragedy is that he believed he was a partner in a revolutionary duumvirate, failing to see that he was merely a placeholder to be sacrificed when a stronger apprentice appeared. He represents the high-born hubris that thinks it can dance with the dark side without getting dirty.
