For a force user its typically a matter of choice and usage of dark emotions/desire for knowledge that tempts them to the darkside. But in your reading of the EU, have you ever encountered a user who much like the Antichrist in the Bible- seemed to have been devised and or predestined to become a darkside user? Did they exist as a force user solely to cause destruction and to further chaos? What force user comes the closest to having seem predestined by fate to become a darksider rather than falling to it?

Palpatine and Anakin Skywalker were destined to join the dark side.

I agree with Ant, Palpatine and Anakin Skywalker are the only two I personally can think of.

Pretty sure Vitiate killed his parents at an extremely young age too.

That's true, OH Darth Bane is another one.

No.

No. How was Bane not destined to fall to the Dark Side? He was the mother****ing Sith'ari, prophesied in Sith legends.

Sidious, Vitiate and Exar Kun were all pretty much doomed to the dark side from the off.

Why Kun?

Plagueis was eugenically created to be a Sith, Sidious was a born psychopath, Maul was pledged to the Sith from birth.

Vitiate and little Veradun(Malgus) are another two.

Anybody born in Vitiate's Empire with a Force connection.

Why Kun?

Kevin J. Anderson says he was born with darkness, unlike Ulic who had redemptive qualities.

Vitiate. He's just pure evil, he'll I'd even argue Palptine has more of a chance at redemption than this bloke

Vitiate and Palpatine are the number ones.

Anakin was a flawed character, but not born "evil". In fact, Kun likely had more naturally "evil" traits.

I agree with Anakin being flawed rather than inherently evil.

Sidious and Vitiate are the first two I think of.

Plagueis, too. I'm tempted to also say that Tenebrous wasn't born with much innocence.

Vitiate, Bane, and Palps all never had even the smallest glimmer of a chance of ending up anywhere but on the dark side of the Force. Toss Maul in there as well I guess.

Palpatine and Vitiate are truly evil from birth.

Actually not sure about Bane; he honestly had compassion for others even into his sith training. It was after he had recovered from the relapse that we see the last glimmers of the light wash away from him.

Vitiate's backstory is basically Damien level shit... lmao

Absolutely awful.

I'm not sure if those prophecies were just accurate predictions, or if the Force actively intervened to make it so. What I mean is, if you were to add an event from another universe or something that would lead Bane away from the sith, would the Force then come in to make sure the sith'ari rose? Not sure.

If the prophecy is just a prediction, then you could say that Bane had "no other choice", but only to the extent that we don't because the universe is deterministic; that doesn't mean he didn't have a choice in a reasonable definition of the term.

If what we know about Vitiate's childhood is true, then him. But really, what we got was a centuries-old hearsay-based recollection of events, and I'm uninclined to believe that it's fully accurate, let alone inclusive of all relevant details.

After that, the best example is Sidious.
