Rolf Valkner

History
Rolf Valkner is an Anzati Sith Lord, birthplace and date unknown. Certainly he received the bulk of his training under Darth Kren; by the time of Norik Kun, he was already considered a Master of the Dark Side, a contemporary of Hyrkal, Iara Clane and Sannasa Moth. At that time his formal title was Dark Jedi Master; the 'Sith' portion is an affectation, self-granted.

Valkner is the duelist who forcibly amputated Clane's lekku in a dispute over the fate of the Detori defector Lyn-Char Beorht.

For many years, he maintained a controlling interest in the water supply on the world of Telos as CEO of a major local resources company. Under Kun's regime he was named Governor of Telos.

After Kun's death, Valkner consolidated his hold on Telos, fortifying the planet further. As Rashael Koss and his associates took command of the bulk of the Sith Empire, Valkner stuck to a single world, but made his control of it unquestionable. His control of the water supply, above and beyond his political and military influence, meant that he could exercise life-and-death authourity over his citizens.

He ran the planet from the ancient Jedi temple in the arctic regions, teaching acolytes and indulging his appetites at the expense of his people. The quiet flow of young, pretty humanoid males into - but not out of - his facilities prompted disgust among those fellow Sith who knew of it. He kept his proclivities largely secret, unwilling to prompt or spur any threat to his rule. He, his people, and his security measures rebuffed at least one assault by Velok, though he remained unaware of the Whiphid's identity.

As of 18 BBY, Valkner remained firmly ensconced on Telos as an independent Sith Lord, skillfully holding his grip in the face of proximity to the Sith Enclave and Koss' faction of the Sith Empire.

Skills
"Valkner's good with a blade, but he comes at you sideways. Tricky thinker. His place has none of the security measures you'd expect, and all the ones you don't."

- Velok

Valkner is an assassin by training, and spent many years using poisons and making bombs. He would be a competent killer without the Force; with it, he's often considered terrifying. He is a master of stealth and of ways of killing that aren't as visible as lightning or comparable techniques. If overt techniques are required, he prefers Force Choke.

One of the secrets of Valkner's great power is his use of a constant, low-level Force Drain field across the whole of Telos, taking an infinitesimal amount of life energy from every citizen.
