&#8213;Darth Bandon to Revan

Darth Bandon was the Sith apprentice of Darth Malak during the Jedi Civil War. He was one of the the Sith Empire's most dangerous hunters, yet he was no match for his master's former master.

Bandon was once a student of the Jedi, though he never fully accepted the teaching of the Jedi Code. He found strength in the powerful emotions of anger, hatred, and rage. When the Sith Order began to rise again under the rule of Darths Revan and Malak, he rejected his old Master, then fled to the Sith Academy on Korriban.

As a student of the new Sith Order, Bandon completely embraced the dark side with every fiber of his being and this, coupled with his strength in the Force and his utter ruthlessness in his quest for power, set him apart from his fellow students. These traits soon brought him to the attention of Darth Malak.

After believing that he had killed Revan, Malak took Bandon as his apprentice, imparting much of his Sith knowledge to him. Malak was not disappointed with his choice, for many Jedi soon found themselves on the wrong ends of Bandon's double-bladed lightsaber. It was not long before rumors began to spread that Bandon would challenge Malak for the right to rule, as was the manner of the Sith.

Bandon had led the boarding party that stormed the Endar Spire above Taris, and had a clear shot to kill the mind-wiped Revan on the doomed ship. However, before Bandon could do so, Trask Ulgo made a desperate and futile charge, giving Revan time to flee to safety. In the end, Trask died at the hands of the Sith. Soon, Bandon and his surviving Sith troopers abandoned the Endar Spire, just in time after detonating the ship.

Following the failure and resultant death of bounty hunter Calo Nord, Malak ordered Bandon to hunt down and possibly capture or kill Bastila Shan and destroy the redeemed Revan. Bandon set off to find Revan. Accompanied by two of his strongest Dark Jedi, his arrogant presumption was that they would be no match for him.

&#8213;Bandon's final words

Unsurprisingly, Revan recognized Bandon during their later confrontation and told him he would pay for killing Trask. It is not known on which world Bandon finally confronted Malak's former master, but the battle fought between him and Revan was fierce. Bandon, despite all his skill, was struck down by a far more powerful Revan along with his companions.

With Bandon dead, Lord Malak decided to make Bastila his next apprentice, an event which led to his downfall at the hands of Revan.
