In contrast with the usual personalities of Sith, such as Darth Nox, Darth Imperius was a Sith with compassionate and heroic virtues, in spite of working for the Sith.

Darth Imperius also kept their promise to free the Sith ghosts that had bonded themselves to him/her, save for one who elected to stay with Imperius anyway due to not wanting to go back to his tomb on Hoth. From there Imperius planned to continue his/her attempts to reform the Sith Empire from within so that it better fit the atypical Sith's more benevolent vision. It was around this time that Kallig also took on an apprentice, a former Jedi named Ashara Zavros whom they trained as a Dark Jedi.Įventually, by bonding themselves to various Force Ghosts, Kallig became powerful enough to challenge Darth Thanaton and was able to best him, afterwards getting his seat on the Dark Council, along with the title Darth Imperius. Discrediting Kallig and marking him/her for death, the Sith Inquisitor was forced to flee. But it soon became clear that Kallig would still face obstacles, particularly from the arrogant Darth Thanaton, who despised Kallig and viewed him/her as an upstart. With Zash now indisposed, Kallig found themselves in a position to advance themselves in the Sith hierarchy. Reclaiming their ancestor's mask and also taking on the title of Kallig, Imperius eventually claimed a loyal follower in Khem Val, who also saved him/her from Darth Zash's scheme to steal her apprentice's body for her own.
Placed under Lord Zash, Imperius harnessed their incredible potential, also being visited by the Force Ghost of their ancestor Aloysius Kallig, who would occasionally provide guidance to his descendant, acknowledging that his own failures had contributed heavily to the downfall of his lineage.
Darth Imperius began as a slave who was sent to the Sith academy on Korriban after their Force-sensitivity was discovered.
