Darth Praetarius

Darth Praetarius was a Dark Lord of the Sith during the Sith Civil War between the Order of Sith Lords and Darth Osus. He was known as the "Lord of Knowledge", governing the works of Science, Alchemy, History, and more during the days of the Old Sith Order.

Appearance
Darth Praetarius was a Sith Pureblood who suffered a crippling injury in his early days as a Sith Lord. His study of science and technology allowed him to build himself a dark life-support suit with a respirator connecting his face mask to a breathing apparatus in his chestplate.

Personality
Praetarius had a keen mind and was always observing and trying to find ways to elevate and benefit both himself and the Sith as a whole. When his son, Osus, accused him of wanting to use the Kri'Shi'Ara Crystal for his own agenda, Praetarius rebuffed him, claiming that he was in no position to be ambitious when the Sith were nearly extinct.

He held much respect from his peers and colleagues, as well as fear and hatred from his enemies. He showed little concern for family, appearing for ceremonies involving Baraziah only when he had to and, otherwise, keeping out of his son's business. When he learned that his enemy, Osus, was another son of his, he merely shrugged it off as an irrelevant convenience.

Praetarius, like the rest of his Order, was an outspoken enemy of the Alliance of Stars and the Jedi. During the First Sith-Alliance War, Praetarius was described as a reaper-like shade, cutting down foes like a farmer cut down wheat.
