Vem är Sith Herre som kunde överföra essensen och bytte till ljussidan?

11

I en roman om Darth Plagueis nämns en Sith Lord som kan att använda kraften av "essensöverföring". På ett mystiskt sätt bytte han sidor och lämnade Sith.

In Bane’s age a Sith might have had to guard against an attempt at essence transfer by the deceased—a leap into the consciousness of the Sith who survived—but those times were long past and of no relevance; not since the teachings had been sabotaged, the technique lost. The last Sith possessed of the knowledge had been inexplicably drawn to the light side and killed, taking the secret process with him …

Den enda informationen i boken jag hittills hittat var att han bodde efter Darth Bane. Det finns inget namn. Kan någon berätta för mig om vem författaren talade?

Sith Herren ifråga var Darth Pregnant .

A human Sith Lord whose short reign had elapsed some five centuries earlier, Gravid had been persuaded to believe that total commitment to the dark side would sentence the Sith Order to eventual defeat, and so had sought to introduce Jedi selflessness and compassion into his teachings and practice, forgetting that there can be no return to the light for an adept who has entered the dark wood; that the dark side will not surrender one to whom, by mutual agreement, it has staked a claim. Driven increasingly mad by his attempts to straddle the two realms, Gravid became convinced that the only way to safeguard the future of the Sith was to hide or destroy the lore that had been amassed through the generations—the texts, holocrons, and treatises—so that the Sith could fashion a new beginning for themselves that would guarantee success.

Ett senare citat bekräftar att Sith Lords (före Gravid) rutinmässigt hade kunskap om hur man fyller i en " essensöverföring ";

Darth Bane had referred to sorcery as one of the purest expressions of the dark side of the Force, and yet he hadn’t been able to harness those energies with near the skill as had his onetime apprentice Zannah. Bane’s disciples, however, believed that he had experimented with a technique of even greater significance: that of essence transfer, which he had learned after acquiring and plundering the holocron of Darth Andeddu, and which involved the relocation of an individual’s consciousness into another body or, in some cases, a talisman, temple, or sarcophagus. Thus had the most powerful of the ancient Sith Lords survived death to haunt and harass those who would infiltrate their tombs.

Boken talar om Darth Pregnant . Boken ger faktiskt sitt namn på fyra ställen. Det är ganska klart att Plagueis inte tycker alltför mycket om honom.

Plagueis muses över Sith Orderens brist på makt över döden.

Sadly he could glean only so much from the texts, crystals, and holocrons stored in the library. Crucial knowledge had been lost during the brief mastery of Darth Gravid, and many of the most important elements of Sith training since had been passed from Masters to apprentices in sessions that had been left unrecorded. More to the point, Darth Tenebrous had had very little to say regarding death.

Plagueis och Sidious talar om att utplåna Jedi.

SIDIOUS: "The Jedi won't simply stand by and do nothing, Master. While I have no affection for them, I do respect their power. And weakening the Republic without weakening the Jedi could provide them with justification for attempting a coup. They have the numbers to succeed."

PLAGUEIS: "There time is coming, Sidious. The signs are in the air. Their Order might have already been decimated had it not been for the setback Darth Gravid dealt the Sith. But his apprentice carried the imperative forward, and each successive Sith Lord improved on it, Tenebrous and his Master most of all..."

Efter pestis attackerades av de maladiska mördarna undrar Sidious om Plagueis 'kraftpotential hade försvagats av hans skador. Plagueis nämner att Gravids lärling förlorade en lemkamp mot honom.

PLAGUEIS: "Your thoughts betray you. Do you think that Malak's powers were weakened by Revan's lightsaber? Bane by being encrusted in orbalisks? Do you think Gravid's young apprentice was hindered by the prosthesis she was forced to wear after fighting him?"

Sidious tänker på en lärlings cykel som dödar sin herre och sedan höjer sin egen lärling som dödar dem en dag.

He (Sidious) sometimes wondered: Was he a level behind? Two levels behind? Such questions were precisely what had driven generations of Sith apprentices ultimately to challenge their Masters. The uncertainty about who was the more powerful. The need to test themselves, to face the definitive trial. The temptation to take the mantle by force, to put one's own spin on the power of the dark side--as Darth Gravid had attempted, only to set the Sith back countless years...
