Why do people make such a big deal about Bane? I know next to nothing about him besides how he killed off most of the Sith and created the Rule of Two, so I'm curious.

i think its because of the change he goes through. He was a miner on a backwater planet who had no idea he was force sensetive till he was well into adulthood and was forced into a situation that made him enlist in the sith forces. Then he becomes one of the greatest sith lords of all time. his lust for knowledge was amazing, his ideas were very well planned and he was utterly ruthless.
He is an icon of evil.
You really should get the books if you can. if not. i will scan the whole book into my comp and send it to ya lol!
When you read it you may not agree with some of the things ppl say about him, but you will understand the hype.

I'll see if the library here has them. I'm in Toronto, and you can probably find just about anything in a library of such a big city.

Hey guys. Like you, I've grown up with starwars. And It's by far the best fan-base. Though at times, I find fault with "revenge of the sith" being more of a sappy love story... I feel honored to be apart of it.

hi i am Darth Nihilus and im back to declare myself the true dark lord of the sith and here is my Biography.

The man who would one day be known as Darth Nihilus was alive at the conclusion of the Mandalorian Wars, a galaxy-wide conflict between the Mandalorian and the Galactic Republic government. Amidst those battles, he was said to have lost everything, including his friends, family, as well his will to live. During the final battle of the war, which took place on the planet Malachor V, the Jedi Exile, a Jedi General, gave the order to activate the Mass Shadow Generator. The Generator, a superweapon conceived by a Zabrak tech specialist named Bao-Dur, killed almost everyone on the planet's surface and in orbit nearby.

This man survived the superweapon's destruction of the surface of Malachor and in his grief over his losses during the war, he assumed a dark persona,in part as a means of survival. He was trapped on the planet by the artificially-created mass shadows along with the bulk of the two fleets that filled space around the planet, where the Mandalorians had committed all of their forces in a last attempt at defeating the Galactic Republic and suddenly took ill due to the shadows' effects. An emptiness swept over the man's idle body and it soon began to "hunger" intensely. Without intent, he drained the life-force of another survivor. The act was an unpleasant experience for him, but for a brief moment the hunger ceased. The emptiness, however, came back more relentless and intense than before. He indulged in absorbing the energy of other survivors, but the more he fed, the shorter the hunger was appeased and the more relentless it became.

The man was eventually discovered by an old woman named Darth Traya, the Dark Lord of the Sith, who had sensed him as a wound in the Force. After locating him, she explained that it was the Force that fueled his hunger and offered to train him at her Sith Academy on the planet to devour entire worlds to help appease the hunger.He followed her to the Trayus Academy and learned the ways of the Sith. After Darth Malak's defeat at the end of the Jedi Civil War, the Sith Empire became divided and its followers turned on each other, with many factions rising to stake claim to what little power could be garnered. The man apprenticed under Traya during this time, along with another prospective Sith. Traya's hungry pupil and her other apprentice each honed different aspects and skills of the dark side of the Force, until they both became Sith Lords. The man took up the name Nihilus, while the second apprentice became known as Darth Sion. The three joined in the creation of a Sith Triumvirate. In addition, the three each took a unique title, with Nihilus electing for the "Lord of Hunger."

Darth Nihilus encounters Visas Marr as he walks the devastated surface of Katarr.Darth Traya perceived Nihilus's hunger for the Force as detrimental to the goals of the Sith. Nevertheless, she taught him how to harness that hunger to make him stronger for a time, as she had promised. Nihilus consumed entire planets on several occasions, caring only to appease his hunger. The dark side consumed him more and more each time, causing his hunger and power to grow dramatically. His power eventually grew beyond what Traya could match. Their views on how to destroy the Jedi also became divided, with the apprentices wanting to destroy them outright while Traya desired a more subtle and time consuming approach. This strained the Triumvirate's already fragile alliance to the breaking point. Nihilus and Sion combined forces to challenge Traya, confronting their teacher in the center of her own Academy on Malachor V. Sion and Nihilus entered the Core from two separate doors and closed in on Kreia while igniting their lightsabers; Traya followed suit by igniting hers. Nihilus Force pushed her into a tooth-like feature of the platform, causing the woman to drop her lightsaber as she slumped against it. Meekly, Traya attempted to reach her lightsaber with the Force but failed as Sion slammed her head into the tooth then beat her to the ground. Sion combined his power with Nihilus's to sap Traya's Force energy. In the process, they also cut her off from the Force and cast her out into exile.

With Traya gone, the Sith were left with no defined leadership and her followers fractured once again into many factions, all seeking to take what little remained of Revan's Empire. Nihilus and Sion, having been the ones who defeated Traya, took control of the fractured Sith. The two united the numerous Dark Jedi who had followed Traya and had vied for her power themselves. The Dark Lords took control of these groups and focused them on a single common goal: the elimination of the Jedi Order, leading to the First Jedi Purge though both Sith Lords had different vehicles for achieving this. On the one hand, Sion hunted and killed as many Jedi he could find, dying many times along the way, only to be resurrected by his own will to live.On the other, Nihilus traveled the fringes of known space with a large fleet of ships that he had ripped from the mass shadows surrounding Malachor V. He made one such vessel, the Ravager, his flagship, and led his flotilla to the largest deposits of Force energies he could find, whereupon he sated the ever-growing hunger within him and further increased his power. Both Nihilus and Sion were successful in their pursuits and brought the Jedi to the brink of extinction.

Eventually Nihilus became so absorbed by the dark side of the Force and his hunger that his physical body began to erode. Knowing that he would succumb to death if he did not act soon, Nihilus ripped his spirit from his body and encased it in the armor he wore, thus allowing the dark side to consume his useless body. Using the Force, the Sith Lord was able to keep his robes, armor and mask together, giving him some form and allowing him to use his Force powers as well as a lightsaber. Apart from that, however, he no longer had a physical form and became simple, primitive intent.

Silent sojourn Encounter with Visas Marr"There is no strength in the hunger he possesses... and the will behind his power is a primal thing. And it devours him as he devours others—his mere presence kills all around him, slowly, feeding him. He is already dead, it is simply a question of how many he kills before he falls."
¯Kreia —
The Trayus Academy continued producing legions of Sith Lords, Assassins and Marauders, with Sion and Nihilus at its head. They spread death throughout the galaxy and turned many other Force-sensitives to their cause. What his followers experienced while simply being in Nihilus' vicinity allowed them to leech off other Force-sensitives' Force energy, increasing their own power. He also taught them how to sense their prey across the vastness of space.

In 3,952 BBY, Atris, a Jedi Master, organized a large gathering of Jedi on the Miraluka colony world Katarr at which most of the remaining Jedi were expected to attend. After organizing the event, she then leaked the location as a ploy to lure a dark presence that she had sensed through the Force so that she could destroy it. Atris' plan worked, drawing Nihilus toward Katarr. When Nihilus neared the planet, however, he spoke, his voice a great hunger that the Miraluka could see and feel through the Force. The Sith Lord's hunger overwhelmed them and obliterated the surface of Katarr, wiping out the entire colony and anything else touched by the Force. Nihilus killed much of what remained of the Jedi Order, including the Jedi Masters Zhar Lestin, Dorak and Vandar Tokare; Atris herself did not actually attend the conclave, though she was reported to have done so. As he walked on the surface of Katarr, Darth Nihilus found only a single living thing, an injured woman named Visas Marr. He put her in a deep sleep, and brought her aboard his ship. Days later, Marr awoke, completely healed aboard the Ravager, and approached the Dark Lord. When she asked him why the wave of death had spared her, the Sith Lord did not speak. Instead, he showed her a vision of the galaxy as he saw it through his senses: beings on other planets unable to feel the Force, disconnected from one another and lost in the crush of humanity, a chaos to which he brought order.The vision crippled her ability to see through the Force and carved out the flesh of her vestigial eye sockets. Marr became the Sith Lord's trusted sole apprentice and developed a powerful Force bond with Nihilus that strengthened both and allowed them to support or weaken each other in battle.
