Darth Nemis was a Sith Lord native to the planet Iridonia, he was born in 46 BBY and was kidnapped from his parents by Darth Absoltus Macht in 41 BBY. He was trained as a Sith Lord and as Macht's primary apprentice, until the Coo-Neo Crisis and the Great Galactic War. He became a Dark Lord of the Sith immediately prior to those events. Although he was a Sith, he had no overbearing hatred for the Jedi. He considered them near-equals and savored the probability of facing—and slaying— them in combat. He also served in the field, as the General of the Army—the equivalent of a Five-Star General—for the anti-Republic Forces, but was subordinate to Macht.
