Darth Bane

Darth Bane is a historical Sith lord.

About him
Born as Dessel on the Cortosis mining world of Apatros to an abusive, drunkard father named Hurst, Bane was a major Sith lord in galactic history. His mother died bringing him into the world, and so his father hated him, so much so that he began referring to his son as "bane". One night, when he was eighteen, his father beat him so badly that he passed out, taking it all without a sound. He wished his father dead, imagining a giant hand crushing his heart. His father was the first person he murdered with the Force. After killing a Republic solider, he escaped Apatros and joined the Sith army, which led to him being discovered as Force-sensitive and being taken to the Sith academy on Korriban to train as a SIth lord. He was responsible for the destruction of the old Sith order, instituting the rule of two. Taking a girl named Rain as his apprentice, she, by now named Darth Zannah, was the one who later killed him.

In Knights of the New Empire
Bane is referred to by the Sith characters, who discovered Palpatine's writings and learned of him over the course of twenty-three years. Due to being dead, he makes no live appearances. The Sith also posess his holocron.
