"Welcome home."
―Malgus, to Vindican, prior to the latter's death.[2]

Darth[4] Vindican[5] was amaleSith Pureblood who lived during the era of theSith Empire's return tothe galaxy.[2] Vindican wastrained in thedark side of the Force by hisSith Master, the legendarySith hero,Darth Ikoral, and was widely believed to be theLord's greatest student.[3] Around3712 BBY, Ikoral, a firm believer in the superiority of the Sith species, led anexpedition into theUnknown Regions to find any surviving colonies of Purebloods.[3] Now master-less, Vindican advanced to the level of Sith Lord[5] and took anapprentice of his own—the young and talentedHumanMalgus. The two served the Sith Empire during the earlyyears of theGreat Galactic War,[2] and in3681 BBY,[1] the Sith Master and his apprentice joined the Empire's campaign toretake theplanetKorriban,[2] which had been underRepublic andJedi control.

Sith penetrated

Vindican wounded by Darach

Vindican and Malgus detached from the Imperial fleet and boardeda shuttle to dock with the Republic'sspace stationorbiting Korriban. After they landed in ahangar on the station, the Sith Master, flanked by Malgus, spotted twoJedi—aZabrakJedi Master,[2]Kao Cen Darach,[5] and his HumanPadawan,Satele Shan—andconfronted them. With hisdouble-bladed lightsaber, Vindican attacked his Jedi counterpart, while Malgus fought Shan. The Sith Master advanced against Darach, whom he engaged in a swift flurry of swordplay before he unleashed a volley ofForce lightning at Shan. After he wasForce-pushed across the hangar by the Jedi Master, Vindican blasted lightning at an escapingsmuggler'sfreighter—thevessel in which the Jedi intended to escape the station.[2]

Shan boarded the departingfreighter and left her master behind to fight Vindican and Malgus alone, although Shan tossed herlightsaber so her master could stand a better chance. The Sith Master engaged Darach once again, in an attack coordinated with the flanking Malgus. When the Sith Master unleashed lightning at the Zabrak, Darachdeflected it toward Malgus. Darach's two lightsabers also struck the right side of Sith Master's head, which lifted his helmet off his face and left ascar over his righteye. Vindican was incapacitated when Darach activated one of the ends of Shan's double-bladed weaponthrough the Sith's abdomen. The Sith Master's fallen double-bladed weapon was taken by Malgus, who engaged andkilled Darach with it. After Malgus returned to Vindican, he exchanged words with him, before executing him.[2]

Personality and traits[]

"They escaped, Master. You failed."
"No, Malgus. This…is only the beginning!"
―Malgus and Vindican, shortly before the latter's death[2]
Korriban duel now with lightning

Vindican attacking Darach with Force Lightning

The aggressive Vindican hadred skin and yellow eyes. During the fight on the Korriban space station, he gained a scar on his right eye. When the Pureblood Sith did not stop Darach's apprentice from leaving the station, his apprentice, Malgus, regarded him as a failure; however, Vindican believed that it was only the beginning of the Sith's reemergence. Before the Sith Master was killed, he was welcomed home by Malgus, since Korriban was the ancienthomeworld of the Sith.[2]
