Darth Poxus

"I am Darth Poxus, Lord of the Sith."

- Darth Poxus to the character's player of KOTOR II. "Take caution of him, master. Very powerful is he. Surely you can feel the power of the Dark Side when in his presence. Evil and twisted. He is keeper of many Dark secrets and a very accommplished swordsman. His command of the Force surpasses any Jedi that I've known."

- Raynor Vala on Darth Poxus to the player's character of KOTOR II "Goodbye, Jedi. We will converse again, but remember your destiny lies with me."

- Darth Poxus to the player's character of KOTOR II. "Welcome. The Force is with you."

- Darth Poxus to the player's character of KOTOR II "You have no power here. Leave now or face your own destruction."

- Darth Poxus

Darth Poxus is a Star Wars villain from the mod NEWBIEMODDER'S Korriban Expansion on the game Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic 2: The Sith Lords. He was a Devaronain Sith Lord. He built up his own secret Sith Academy on Korriban (not equated with the old Sith Academy that used to be ran by "that fool" Uthar Wyyn and his former master Jorak Uln) and then began to build up his very own Sith Empire and took on Sith Lord Darth Loqi as his second-in-command and most trusted and loyal Sith Apprentice.

Building his Sith Empire
"Here we study the true power of the Universe, the Force. Malak was misguided, he lost his way. He himself became a slave to that mechanized monstrosity, the Star Forge. I will make that mistake. The Force shall free me."

- Darth Poxus about his Sith school and quoting the Sith Code as well.

Loqi and Poxus began recruiting many members of Poxus' Sith Empire like Sith Sentinels, Sith Troopers, Sith Captains, Sith Templers, Dark Jedi and Sith Lords like Darth Morbidis, Darth Fang and DarkTaskMaster. After the Mandalorian Wars, Lord Poxus found a Jedi who followed Revan to war and helped him win: Jedi Master Raynor Vala. Poxus corrupted Vala and took him to his academy as another one of his students, promising him hope and revenge upon the Jedi for forbidding them to fight in the Mandalorian Wars, but Poxus lied. Poxus also found one of the surviving Mandalorians named Kazius and took him to the academy as his prisoner.

Plans for great power
"The mines are closed. Poxus has all the cystals he needs. Now he has his slaves digging for relics at the various tombs and temples scattered across Korriban."

- Kazius starting to tell the Jedi Exile about Poxus' plans.

Poxus then took on the title of Dark Lord of the Sith and ruled Korriban and began taking slaves to his Sith Empire to do work for him. His slaves were Jawas (including the droid mining inventor, Teeqi), Biths, Wookiees, Humans and Ithorians. He had them digging for relics at the various Sith tombs and temples scattered across Korriban. Kazius learned about all of this even while in prison. Poxus ordered all of his slaves and a few apprentices to investigate some ancient Sith ruins on Korriban that lay many tombs, including the tomb of Ezer Arden and the tomb of Thulsa Gaul. Kazius even knew the way to there. The reason why Darth Poxus was doing this is cause he was consumed with unlocking secrets of the Dark Side of the Force; he believes that through all these lost tools and Sith artifacts, he can achieve a great level of power. With these new powers and the development of his Sith Empire, he will be able to rule the Galaxy. Poxus found countless crystals (including the ancient pearl of the ancient Sith Lord Darth Torgg), ancient blades, robes, lightsabers, artifacts, weapons and holocrons (some holocrons that were found were damaged and became of no use to Poxus). But after unlocking countless secrets of the Dark Side and becoming VERY powerful, Poxus realised that while doing this he had suddenly become surronded by the taint, lure and power of the Dark Side, making anyone in his presence feel the power of the Dark Side. This would probably help Poxus to corrupt others and turn them to the Dark Side, unless they resisted it.

Finding Jett Darklighter
Poxus also found a young boy, a child, named Jett Darklighter, a Force-sensitive kid who had just lost his parents, and took him as well to his academy as another of his students, sending Darth Morbidis to watch over Jett. Poxus sent a few Sith Holocrons that he'd found in a few Sith tombs that he'd already visited and let them also watch over Jett so that the esence of those Holocrons would corrupt Jett and turn him to the Dark Side, but Jett had secretly been resisting the Dark Side, since his parents had told him before they died that his destiny was to become a Jedi.

Encounter with the Jedi Exile
"Watch this 'Jedi' carefully, Lord Loqi. If this Jedi becomes a threat to our operations here, eliminate him!"

- Darth Poxus to Darth Loqi about the Jedi Exile.

One time, the player's character, the Jedi Exile, visits Korriban in search of Jedi Master Lonnah Vash, but during the search, the player's character find an old datapad belonging to the Sith Master Uthar Wyyn that will lead him or her to the Korriban Expansion. The player's character visits the secret Sith academy, meets Lord Poxus and Lord Loqi and finds out about Poxus' grand plans for great power and conquest. After meeting Poxus and leaving to explore his school, Poxus tells Loqi to watch the exile, and if the exile became a threat to their operations, he or she was to be killed.

After exploring his school, the player's character finds Teeqi in his lab and agrees to help him and his friends escape Poxus in an attempt to foil the Dark Lord's plans. The exile frees Kazius and Kazius shows the exile the way to the Sith Ruins where all of Poxus' slaves are working with several of Poxus' followers watching. The exile kills the followers, explores the Sith Tombs of Darth Doom III, Ezer Arden and the tomb of Thulsa Gaul, returns to the academy and breaks into the security centre to unlock the door that leads to the hangar and discovers Lord Poxus' private shuttle.

After fighting and killing the Sith guards and the Sith Templars and venturing into the sanctuary, the exile kills Darth Morbidis and finds Jett Darklighter. One of the exile's new companions, Jolee Bindo (who was also once one of Revan's companions), takes Jett as his Jedi padawan. Poxus and Loqi then realise that the exile is now a threat to their operations. Darth Loqi was sent to outside of the sanctuary with two other Sith Lords by Darth Poxus to eliminate the exile, but they failed and the two Sith Lords and Darth Loqi were killed by the exile and the exiles companions.

The exile and his or her companions then fight and kill their way through Poxus' troopers, assassins, students and apprentices, redeemed Raynor Vala and return to face Darth Poxus back in the throne room. Poxus trys one more time to make the exile join him. But the exile refuses, so Poxus uses Force Stasis on the exile's companions, saying "if you cannot be turned, then you will die here...alone!". The exile duels the Dark Lord, but Poxus proved too powerful to even be defeated. Then, Darth Sion arrives and interferes by ordering Poxus to not harm the exile. Poxus warns Sion to leave or die, but since Sion achieved immortally through holding his body together if he is struck down, he says that he cannot die. The exile leaves Poxus to his fate, the force holds are taken off of the exile's companions and they leave with the exile.

Jolee then departed with Jett, taking all of the slaves and Teeqi with him in Poxus' shuttle, dropping Teeqi and the slaves off to their homeworlds, while Jolee took Jett, his new apprentice, to Coruscant to train him as a Jedi. Meanwhile, the exile and his or her companions leave the Korriban Expansion. Meanwhile, Lord Poxus was overwhelmed by Sion, losing his right arm and one of his horns and his face beaten. Sion leaves Poxus to die, but Poxus yet survives his injures and walks away to the medic area in his academy, where one of his wounded new apprentices remain in a Kolto tank, being healed. Poxus goes to the medic to release him. It turns out that the apprentice was Darth Herrco, one of Lord Poxus' apprentices that had been wounded in a great battle and had finally been fully-healed in the Kolto Tank.

Darth Poxus just walks to the tank, says "awaken" and laughs evilly as his plans have not been entirely foiled, yet, not now that his apprentice has returned...

The Trials of Darth Herrco
"Rise, Lord Herrco."

- Darth Poxus to Darth Herrco...

Coming soon!

Abilities Poxus can unlock secrets of the Dark Side and (like Darth Nihilus) he has great powers in the Dark Side. This consumed Poxus so much that he soon became surrounded by the taint and lure of the Dark Side like the Sith tombs that he excavated for ancient relics. It as if he's becoming linked to the taint in these tombs, for example, when in Poxus's presence, they can feel the power of the Dark Side. It is because Poxus is keeper of countless dark side secrets. Poxus is also a very skilled and strong swordsman, wielding his two red lightsabers when in battle and proves too strong to be defeated. His command of the Force rivals Darth Sidious's and surpasses any Jedi that he has fought, but when he fought the Jedi Exile, he may have proved to be too strong for the exile but the exile was not defeated either. Poxus also wields ancient Dark Magic of the Sith Alchemy.
