Markos Ragnus

[Lord Exar Kun]

question: does anyone have any information regarding an ancient Dark Lord called Markos Ragnus (i hope i spelled the name correctly)? i have heard the name referenced in the KOTOR games and i know he was some kind of half-breed Sith Lord.

Here is some Info. on Marka Ragnos. I hope you find this intresting.

Ragnos was originally featured in the comic book series Tales of the Jedi. Details of his century-long reign are few, although his death marked the end of the high point of the Sith Empire. Immediately following his funeral, a schism erupted between the leaders of the Sith, and further events led to a major war with the Galactic Republic and, because the schism was never healed, ultimately the end of their interstellar empire.

About one millennium after his death, Marka's spirit was summoned from the grave by a pair of Sith talismans to crown Exar Kun as the new Dark Lord, and Ulic Qel-Droma as Kun's apprentice, all in an attempt, which would ultimately fail, to restore the lost empire of a thousand years prior. The resulting war devastated the Star Wars galaxy once again.

Forty years later, the Sith Empire (that was under control of Darth Malak at the time) started excavation of the tomb on Korriban. The tomb was later home to an assassin droid that defied its bloodthirsty programming.

Approximately four thousand years after the war of Exar Kun, Marka Ragnos's spirit once again returned from beyond the grave, this time summoned by a Sith cult known as the Disciples of Ragnos whose leader was Tavion, Desann's student. This cult was eventually defeated with Jaden Korr defeating Tavion, and Ragnos's ghost was forced to go back to his tomb and stay in his sarcophagus forever.

Marka Ragnus was a half breed alright half human and half true sith.

Simus, a Sith Magician who survived decapitation for about a century, was terrified of Ragnos.


And Simus trained Naga Sadow, who could explode stars with his mind.


In fact, Ragnos was the one who struck down Simus in the first place...
