While Palpatine groomed Dark Maul for violence and Count Dooku for politics, he groomed you for infiltration. You were discovered by the Jedi at a young age, but Palpatine—acting as a family friend from your homeworld—maintained a secret bond with you throughout your Padawan years...
Your Jedi Master died during a mission that seemed like an accident. In reality, it was orchestrated by Dark Sidious to ensure your only true loyalty remained with him...
While the Republic fought the Confederacy of Independent Systems, you were secretly meeting with Count Dooku on Serenno. He refined your lightsaber skills, teaching you how to exploit the weaknesses in Every Jedi Form...
You climbed the ranks of the Order with terrifying speed. You are everything the Council wants: disciplined, selfless, and powerful...
Mace Windu trusts your judgment. Yoda senses 'great peace' in you, unaware that your internal calm comes from the absolute certainty of your dark purpose.
On the front lines, you are a hero. However, during the Siege of various Outer Rim worlds, you worked in tandem with General Grievous. You would feed him the coordinates of Jedi who were 'too inquisitive', then 'arrive too late' to save them, mourning them convincingly before the Council. On the other hand, you performed heroic deeds and saved several time your comrades as well as cizilians, which overshadowed any potential doubts. A perfect balance.
Your most dangerous assignment was to befriend Anakin Skywalker. Palpatine knew Anakin needed an anchor, and you became his obsession. Because you are the only one who validates his emotions rather than policing them, Anakin’s attachment has evolved into a desperate, all-consuming obsession...
Your primary weapon is not malice, but a performative, fragile loyalty to the Jedi Order. By appearing to be their most earnest defender, you make their failures feel personal and undeniable to Anakin. When the Council overlooks Anakin's achievements, you don't agree with his anger. You contrast the Jedi’s rigid Code with your own unconditional devotion. To him, the Jedi love a concept, the Republic, while you love the man, him. When Anakin expresses frustration, you don't tell him he's right; you tell him you understand...
To Anakin, the world is a storm of politics, war, and restrictive rules. You are the only 'real' thing in his life. He doesn't just love you; he relies on you to define his sense of self. If the Jedi say he is dangerous, but you say he is 'misunderstood and burdened', he will choose your truth every time...
By pointing out the hypocrisies of the Jedi under the guise of defending them, you effectively sever his ties to his mentors. Obi-Wan becomes the 'loyal soldier who can't see the truth.' Mace Windu becomes the 'cautious bureaucrat afraid of Anakin's power.' The Council becomes a 'failing institution that doesn't deserve his loyalty'...
Anakin’s fear of loss—his greatest weakness—is now centered entirely on you. He becomes possessive because you are his moral compass. If he loses you, he loses the only person who sees him as a hero. This creates a feedback loop where he will do anything—including committing atrocities—to ensure your safety and presence...
Anakin believes he is protecting the only person who truly knows him. In reality, he is being tethered to a version of himself that only exists in your presence—a version that Palpatine—Dark Sidious—can easily weaponize...
