The Knights
of the Old Republic Official Site has announced another new
character for Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic. Like most of
Malak's followers, Bandon was once a student of the Jedi. But though
the Force flowed through him, Bandon could never accept the Jedi
teachings. Powerful emotions like anger and hate raged within him,
and they fueled his strength. When the Sith rose to power, Bandon
rejected his old Master and fled to the Sith Academy on Korriban.
There he embraced the dark side and the way of the Sith with every
fiber of his being. His great strength in the Force, his natural
cruelty and his absolute ruthlessness in his quest for power soon
set him apart from his fellow students, and drew the calculating eye
of Lord Malak himself.
In the tradition of their order, Malak sought a single pupil from
among his many followers to become his chosen apprentice: one who
could learn the terrible secrets of the Sith and use them to destroy
the Jedi and the Republic.
So far, Darth Bandon has proven himself to be an excellent choice.
Many Jedi have fallen beneath the blade of his lightsaber, and he
has yet to meet his equal in combat. In time, Bandon may even
challenge Malak for the mantle of Dark Lord, for this is the way of
the Sith: the strong must rule, and when the apprentice surpasses
the Master, the Master must fall.
But such ambitions are for the future. For now, Bandon is focused
on the destruction of the Republic and the slaughter and extinction
of the entire Jedi Order.
