Marka Ragnos ,aka Darth Marka Ragnos, Lord Ragnos and the Golden Sith, was a male half-breed Satanic Dark Lord of the Sith who lived during the time of the first Sith Empire, born 500 years before 5,100 BBY, and, around that same year, dueled Sith Lord Simus for the title of Dark Lord of the Sith and control of the Sith Empire. Ragnos defeated Simus, who was beheaded in the battle with the other aspiring Dark Lord. He then became the Dark Lord of the Sith, the Sith Emperor and the Ruler of the Galaxy. He lived for 600 years, ruling the Galaxy with an ion fist. His Sith Empire had conquered all of the Star systems near Korriban under Marka's orders. After all of those 6 centuries, Ragnos unfortunatly passed away, and the Golden Age of the Sith was near devastated without him. During the great Dark Lord's funeral, two Sith Lords named Darth Naga Sadow and Darth Ludo Kressh became arch rivals of each other and battled each other to occupy Ragnos' throne. Their struggle nearly resulted in a civil war that would have torn the Sith apart before they ever even threatened the Jedi and the Republic, which is why Ragnos' spirit appeared before the two and ended their battle and ordered them to band together if the Sith Empire was to remain in balance before returning to his grave. Sadow eventually killed Simus and Kressh and became Ragnos' successor and the new Sith Emperor and Dark Lord. After the death of Sadow and the rise of the reborn Sith Empire on Dromound Kaas, Ragnos' Satanic spirit came before the reborn Sith Empire's Sith Emperor and christened him the new Dark Lord and gave him the title Darth Vitiate. Centuries after that, Lord Ragnos christened and marked Exar Kun and Ulic Qel-Droma as the new Dark Lords through a vision of him in 2 powerful Sith amulets and then dissappeared. The Satanic spirit of Darth Marka Ragnos still lives on to this day in his tomb on Korriban, alive...

Ragnos also appeared in the Tales of the Jedi comic series as well as the video game Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic.
