{ Strengths }

• { Quick-witted Eidetic Genius } Although a long time ago, Darth Shevaltesh was nonetheless born a brilliant young child, and when his Force-sensitivity was discovered by a wanderer who was secretly a Sith Lord, he was taken away from his true parents. The Sith Lord raised him from the age of eight and taught him near everything he knew. Shevaltesh learned quickly due to his brilliance and Eidetic memory, and his quick wits would save him many a time during his master's training exercises. Adding his extremely long life and experiences of that to this, his knowledge is almost unmatched.
• { Master of Magic and Alchemy } While most Sith favored the blade, or their deadly force powers, very few ever truly studied or even mastered Sith Magic and Alchemy. The master of Shevaltesh was one of these rare Sith, an elderly man who had studied it almost all of his life. You would have a much easier time naming the things he doesn't know about Sith Sorcery rather than the things he does.
• { Brilliant Mad Scientist } Along with Sith Alchemy, Sorcery, and Magic, his master also taught him math and the sciences. By the time his master died of old age when Shevaltesh was only twenty-five, he was an expert at all things science. It was through this and his mastery of Sith Alchemy that he would expertly fuse his body with Gen'dai, appearing physically human but allowing him to quickly regrow lost limbs, bones, veins, and even cells. This allows him his extremely long lifespan, although he cannot expand his body like normal Gen'dai, as that would rip his insides and kill him, as his organs are not completely adapted to the membranes like normal Gen'dai.
• { Force Powers } Shevaltesh has a very strong connection to the force, and while it has very much waned from the power of his younger years, where he could force capital ships into the ground with his power, he is nonetheless a force to be reckoned with.
• { Historian of the Dark Times } Shevaltesh is one of the few individuals who has a large bank of knowledge on the FHYD, with lots of knowledge on the various famous jedi of the time, and the most powerful warlords.

{ Weaknesses }

• { Very Old } After 400 years, Shevaltesh is not much more than an old bag of bones and aging flesh held together through a combination of his own will and the power of the force within him. He has severely weakened from his great powers during the FHYD, although he is still a force to be reckoned with.
• { Darkness } One so enveloped in the dark side has many troubles. Sometimes its vivid night terrors, sometimes it's feeling extra weak and drained. And that's not to mention weakness to the Light Side of the Force.

{ Starships }

{ Arsenal }

• Red Lightsaber
• Sith Inquisitor robes
• Layered duraplast chest armor

{ History }
*Summary*
*The life of Darth Shevaltesh began with being born to a small Human family on some unassuming farming planet. He was raised to the age of eight by loving parents until the day a great shuttle from the sky swooped down, its pilot a mysterious man with a Dark robe. Many tried to drive him off, fearing the Gulag Plague, but after the man beat ten of the strongest farmhands in a brawl, nobody dared touch him. When he demanded to take the force-sensitive Shevaltesh away at the mere age of eight, nobody objected, for his parents still had his three older brothers and two sisters.

He was raised and trained by the man, who was revealed to be a Sith Lord, until his death in his sleep at a ripe old age after a sickness. Shevaltesh, then 25, began his long exploration of the galaxy, studying the dark arts, practicing his blade and force powers, visiting planets, and accruing dark power. Through his mastery, he extended his life by splicing his body with Gen'dai membrane, allowing him to continue his long exploration. His adventure would not end until he reached the age of 400, deciding to park his vessel on the farming planet he first originated from. He would continue his study of the dark arts, and observe the farmers hard at work, studying the intricacies of backwards society on backwater planets. Even studying the descendants of his siblings, genomes, DNA, and the like.

When another traveler landed on the planet, word eventually reached Shevaltesh of the CIS and their resurgence. Shevaltesh would serve in any government, but considering that they were the closest and Shevaltesh was feeling like a lazy old man, he set off from his home.*
*Summary*

During his adventures through the galaxy and his search for an apprentice, Darth Shevaltesh heard rumors about a powerful Kaleeshi warlord who had invaded and conquered several nearby star systems, enslaving them and claiming to be the reincarnation of Grievous, some even said he could choke men from afar. Discerning much of this to be true, Shevaltesh set off for Kalee, where he bested this Kaleeshi warlord, his name Qymaen jai Sheelal (the Kaleesh name of Grievous, who Qymaen also identified as, believing himself the god reincarnated). When he was spared, and Qymaen declared himself indebted to the man, many of his chief warlords deserted him, forming their own separate empires from his original. Infuriated that they would backstab a living god, Shevaltesh offered to teach Qymaen, or Grievous, to use his anger and emotion to fuel the powerful Force within him to crush his enemies. Leading a reborn army, he crushed the rogue warlords and set off with his new master to conquer the Galaxy.

Though Qymaen (and or Grievous), now a Dark Lord of the Sith (though he preferred Grievous), had both a massive army and Darth Shevaltesh on his side, he could not defeat the Gulag Plague. By the time he had conquered a quarter of the Galaxy (Qymaen claims half), the plague ravaged his Empire and forced many of his troops home. In a final act of desparation, insantity and down right cockiness, for he believed himself a living god, he flew to the capital of his enemies to fight them alone.

As expected, they shot him down, though his connection the force and sheer willpower kept him alive in the debris of the crash, long enough for Darth Shevaltesh to recover his remains and seal him in a bacta tank, to save his apprentice for later use...
