Darth Nefarious

"My contributions to the Sith were necessary to its survival, as was my death. I did not hate my apprentice for what he did, nor do I now. As a matter of fact, I applaud his efforts."

- Darth Nefarious

Darth Nefarious was a Sith Lord and successor of Bane's lineage. At some point between Darth Zannah and Darth Cognus becoming Dark Lords of the Sith, Darth Nefarious claimed the title after the "untimely" demise of his master. From apprenticeship until, and even through, death, Darth Nefarious was a powerful individual. He had constructed himself a fortress deep in the vast jungles of Ronu II, and was a strong advocate of Bane's Rule of Two.

While Nefarious was, indeed, a strong Sith Lord, he was ultimately defeated by his own apprentice, as the ways of the Sith demanded. He admired his apprentice, who had then taken the mantle of Dark Lord of the Sith, for his handiwork, which resulted in an underground tomb being built in his honor. There, Darth Nefarious rested in a sealed, air-tight sarcophagus, for several hundred years.
