User blog:BigBadSquid/PE Removal: Kannos

Found another PE villain that underwent redemption.

What's the Work
The Jedi Masters is a popular mod for the game Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic II: The Sith Lords. It counts as a sequel to the game's events by 10 years, although it ignores the events of the first Knights of the Old Republic game. In this mod, the Sith are explained that they fell to the dark side by becoming possessed by an ancient being made of evil called "D'arth Syyth" that infects and manipulates its host. When someone comes in contact with the D'arth Syyth, they become evil forms of their ordinary selves.

Who is Kannos
Kannos is the leader of a squadron of soldiers from Etti IV who are under the alliance with the Republic. Riding their ship the Eagle, Kannos has a father-son bond with his men. After saving several planets from the Sith's control, the Eagle is captured and the team is arrested. Their leader, D'arth D'narth, manipulates Kannos into giving in to the dark side and exposes him to the D'arth Syyth.

Now under control of the D'arth Syyth and the new leader of the True Sith, Kannos plans to use the D'arth Syyth to destroy the galaxy. He even kills D'arth D'narth and teams up with the resurrected Darth Nihilus. He first destroys Taris by sending down Rakghouls, Banshees, and Screamers to massacre the residents before using the D'arth Syyth to destroy the planet.

After Nihilus and his forces were defeated by the Jedi, Kannos launches an attack on the capital of the Republic Senate in Coruscant, killing Supreme Chancellor Cressa and leaves the survivors to D'arth Kilmore, who Meetra Surik kills. After fending off the rest of the Sith and boarding Kannos' ship Nemesis, Revan fights Kannos in a battle to the death. Depending on the player's actions through the game, several scenarios can occur, such as Kannos dying and the D'arth Syyth possessing Revan instead, Revan killing himself and Kannos to destroy the D'arth Syyth, or Kannos wins and the D'arth Syyth destroys the entire galaxy before finding another galaxy to consume.

Why he can't count
In the Golden Ending, unlocked by completing every sidequest and having Kannos fall in love with the Twilek named Nizzal before his descent into madness. At the end of the game, after Revan defeats Kannos, the doctor (the player character) warns Kannos that if he destroys the galaxy, Nizzal will die with it. This makes Kannos come through and realize what horrible things he committed. He allows Revan and the doctor to escape his ship before destroying it, sacrificing himself to destroy the D'arth Syyth and save the galaxy from its evil.

Final Verdict
Redemption and the power of love =/= Pure Evil
