Bio: Little is known about the true identity of Darth Vious, although some have made speculation through recognition of his lightsaber, which allows use of not only conventional forms such as Soresu and Djem So, but also the more arcane Makashi. The truth, is that Darth Vious was once a great Jedi Master, who managed to survive Order 66, when blaster fire from the Clone Troopers under his command ignited underground gasses, killing everyone in the cave. However, he was found by natives who were able to use the Force to manipulate the midichlorians into restoring his life, although not healing his injuries enough to restore his appearance. Out of respect to the natives that restored him, but feeling intense bitterness and shame at his disfigurement, he donned a tribal mask, and then devoted himself to the Dark Side of the Force, as it was that which returned his life. Returning to Coruscant, Vious approached Palpatine, who, sensing that the restoration of Vious' life had greatly increased his powers, and might indeed hold the secret of cheating death, offered Vious his friendship and patronage. Once he had alchemically synthesized a new crystal for his lightsaber, he became the very first 'Emporer's Hand. It has been whispered that he collected Master Windu's fallen saber, and kept it in his posession.
