He's basically what Sidious would have been like if Dark Empire was written post-ROTS. I could totally see say Lucas look at all the EU before making the series and pretty much topping everything in the EU that's a force character. That's what Bioware did to Vitiate, although I honestly see Lucas doing a much better job since Bioware kind of failed.

But anyway:
My opinion on Vitiate? An awesome villain. He's powerful, utterly without mercy or compassion, seeks nothing less than the destruction of all life in the entire galaxy. Truly the perfect villain to be the TOR era's "Big Bad."
I just wish they'd kept his name as Tenebrae though. Nothing wrong with Vitiate, I just think Tenebrae is better.

Vitiate is alright. They should have released a novel about him; flesh him out more as a character and give him more depth. Yet its a moot point to me now, as he's non-canon.
