A long time ago in a galaxy far, far away....
A time of war and strife engulfed the galaxy. The Jedi order had almost collapsed and was now hunted by the Sith Empire, whom had now reconquered their lost territory and beyond. But in this time of war and strife, something far worse lurked in the shadows. A dark lord of the sith, whom literally haunted the edges of the galaxy, caring not for the affairs of the Empire, but to drain the very life energy.
Darth Nihilus was a dark lord of the sith whom cared little or nothing for the actual workings of the Empire, however he was of the Sith Triumvirate. A faction which was remnant from Darth Revan's reign. While not much is known of Nihilus' past, he was at the ill-fated battle of Malachor where he managed to tear his ship from the gravity well and escape despite suffering additional Mandalorian artillery fire. Eventually, sometime after his escape, Nihilus happened upon another sith, whom he sought guidance from. Together, he would learn how to create wounds in the force, essentially draining his victims of their life energy and consuming it. But, this act was not without consequence. In a twist of fate, he himself became a wound in the force. A living shell of his former existence. In all rights and terms, Nihilus had finally died. But his legend and his body continued on, creating perhaps one of the most feared stories known to history.
He continued on to haunt the outer reaches of space, while having absolutely no interest in the affairs of power or conquest. Instead, Darth Nihilus only sought one thing. To bring an end to all life. For that energy was to be consumed and drained, leaving only ash in his wake. Even an entire planet would be annihilated by his insatiable desire, leaving a civilization all but wiped from existence.
