| - Darth Ponirus was an Ancient KoTOR-Era Sith Lord. He first served under Revan, but soon switched allegiances after Malak took Revan's title as Dark Lord of the Sith. Ponirus was a talented Human Sith Lord who had been recognized by Revan and eventually Malak. He was trained as a Sith Scholar, often visiting worlds such as Ziost, Korriban, Lehon, and Thule during his apprenticeship, researching the deeds of the Ancients and attempting to uncover their long-hidden secrets. His knowledge regarding Ancient Sith practices made him a common supervisor at Sith Academies. He also had extensive knowledge regarding the history of the Ancient Sith, including their attempts at achieving immortality. His scholarly demeanor did not keep him from battle, however, and his ability to multitask with efficiency made him popular with Revan and Malak. Throughout the war, he continued to embark upon expeditions to the aforementioned planets. He took a pristine interest in Korriban, and spent most of his time at the Academy there. Upon hearing of Revan's return, Malak commissioned Ponirus to lead a strike force to the planet of Ylesia, one of many such reconnaissance efforts by his Sith Empire. He and his Sith landed in the midst of the vast Ylesian jungle, and, soon, they came across a Republic outpost on the planet. Ponirus set up an ambush for them, ensuring that every exit had Sith, awaiting any opportunity to assault the outpost by surprise. During the hidden siege, a Dark Jedi had revealed himself in desperation for food, as the team's rations had run out quickly in the jungle. The Republic garrison took up arms, but the Jedi (who had hid themselves in knowledge of the Sith approach) were prepared for the Sith attack. A bloody battle ensued, and it seemed as if it would end in stalemate. As the battle continued, one of the soldiers sent a transmission to a Republic Fleet that had arrived before the siege had taken place. He requested the Fleet bombard the base, hoping to eradicate Ponirus and his Sith intruders. The Republic troopers and the Jedi feigned a rout, and the Sith relished in their victory; but soon after the entire area was experiencing the full might of bombardment. None were spared. Ponirus was strong in death. His spirit managed to live on in what was now a barren waste. Years, ages, millenniums passed, but Ponirus's soul lived on in isolation. For countless years the restless spirit mused about returning to the material plane, hoping to someday achieve the goals he designed when he was alive. Nearly three-hundred years after his death in the jungle, a descendant of one of his apprentices had tracked his campaign, from Korriban to Ylesia. The naive young Sith hoped to find the Sith Lord's journals, so as to impress his Master back on Dromund Kaas. When the boy did locate Ponirus's grave, signified by a circle of variously shaped and sized stones, he found nothing. After minutes of searching, the spectral Sith appeared before the apprentice, revealing his past and where he might find what he took to the grave. In order to locate them, however, Ponirus stressed that he must see through the apprentice's eyes, so as to more easily locate his teachings. The apprentice accepted his offer, unknowing that his weak and feeble soul was tainted and absorbed by Ponirus's. For a time, the Sith Lord was reborn. He traveled across Imperial Sith Space, bringing ruin to his old Republic and Jedi foes, instilling fear and oppression on worlds that dared to oppose the Sith Empire. After the events which lead to the Empire's collapse and dissolution, Ponirus was defeated by a young Jedi aspirant, who sent his soul - captured in an ancient vibrosword - back to the shattered patch that was his grave. There he remained for ages. Until an embittered Jedi wandered upon his grave.
