| | |
| | '''Darth Sarin''', originally known as '''Aristan Dantes''', was a Sector Admiral in the [[starwars:Imperial Remnant|Imperial Remnant]] and the twelfth [[Grand Master]] of the Dark Brotherhood. Born on the Imperial Citadel world of [[starwars:Bastion|Sartinaynian]], he was selected as part of [[starwars:COMPNOR|COMPNOR's]] adolescent indoctrination program. Sarin was identified as having Force potential and was placed in an accelerated training program for prospective [[starwars:Dark side adept|Dark Side Adepts]]. |
| | |
| | Sarin spent the first twelve years of his life under the tutelage of COMPNOR before entering the [[starwars:Raithal Academy|Raithal Academy]]. At the age of sixteen he was given an early commission based on his Force abilities and took an assignment with the [[Emperor's Hammer]]. |
| | |
| | Following his commission, Sarin rose quickly through the ranks of the Emperor's Hammer achieving a legendary reputation as the Commander of the Elite Avenger Squadron and as the Commodore of the Imperial Star Destroyer ''Grey Wolf''. Known for his impressive ability to motivate and inspire through Battle Meditation, Sarin assumed command of the Emperor's Hammer combat operations and led his forces to multiple victories. These victories and his display of advanced Force techniques led to his dual appointment as Executive Officer and Sith High Warrior of the Emperor's Hammer. |
| | |
| | Within months of his appointment, Sarin was able to identify the corruption and decay that had taken hold of the Emperor's Hammer. Utilizing his vast network of contacts, he planned his defection with the aid of the [[Grand Master]]s [[Jac Cotelin|Cotelin]] and [[Firefox]], along with [[Acxodim Pyralis]]. |
| | |
| | Sarin assumed the mantle of Grand Master four years after rejoining the Dark Brotherhood, before being succeeded by his [[Deputy Grand Master]], [[Muz]]. He died several years after his tenure, his clone body succumbing to a nanovirus before being murdered by [[Darth Pravus]]. |

|
| Aristan Dantes was born on the second day of the eleventh standard month, in the year 2 BBY. His birthplace was the industrial planet of Deralia, located in a remote system in the Outer Rim Territories. His family estate was located on the banks of the Revaeb River flowing just outside of the capital city of Notrad. The Dantes family held the title of Daimyo, serving for three hundred generations on the ruling council of Deralia.

| | ==== Executive Officer ==== |
|
| |
|
| The training of high-ranking children of the Dantes family began systematically and officially when the child reached the age of eight years old. Before that, as was customary, children would be prepared through preliminary indoctrination in martial and political etiquette. The idea of noblesse oblige was, holding to tradition, instilled at a young age. Aristan's philosophical instructors explained that with wealth, power, and prestige come social responsibilities.
| | === Dark Brotherhood === |
|
| |
|
| After receiving his preliminary training, Aristan joined other children of equal social status and began his formal schooling at the Yokendo Institute. The Yokendo Institute was one of the oldest and most widely revered learning institutions in the galaxy. Other martial universities on other planets have adopted similar models, but have never matched the success of Yokendo. The University was founded by the ruling Daimyo class long ago, one of the first major structures erected on the planet. It was originally established as a school of military arts. Later it added courses in political science and philosophy based on the teachings of the controversial philosophers and lawgivers known as the Four Sages of Dwartii.
| | ==== Plagueis ==== |
|
| |
| Under the strict surveillance of his instructors Aristan memorized the literay texts of martial, philosophical, and political instruction. One such instructor, Thomas Grandar passionately tutored the Aristan in the lessons of the Four Sages of Dwartii; Sistros, Faya, Yanjon, and Braata. Aristan was particularly interested and fond of Sistros who believed ''"The true sense of wrath is nothing but a passionate desire for retribution of an injustice that has been suffered"'' and that ''"Wrath is more effective when anger ministers at her side."'' These lessons build the foundation of Aristan's understanding that wrath, anger, and hatred were not only healthy, but essential in upholding justice.

| | === Ascension === |
| At the age of 13 Aristan was accepted into the department of Philosophy and Law at the Yokendo Institute. It was here that he was placed in the full time care of Thomas Grandar and the two entered the formal academic relationship of Master and Apprentice.
| |
|
| |
|
| Over the course of the next two years Aristan trained in metaphysical aspects of philosophy and the practical aspects of ethics and law. The fatherly Master Grandar used examples of Sith lore to teach Aristan about meritocracy, a system of rule where wealth, position, and social status are assigned through competition or demonstrated talent and competence. The Sith Lords employed this system for countless years to select those who would carry on their legacy.
| | == Personality and Traits == |
|
| |
|
| Meritocracy and the logical use of emotions fueled Aristan’s interest in the Sith Lords and he tirelessly quizzed his Master for information on the secret cult of Dark Siders. A key had unlocked Aristan’s mind and he burned with a desire to know all there was of the Sith.

|

|
| At this critical juncture, Master Grandar saved Aristan from the imprisonment of an ordinary life. On a cold starless night, Grandar revealed his secret, he was a Sith trainee. He did not possess the talent to ever achieve mastery, but he could keep the order alive by passing his knowledge on to a successor. Years earlier Grandar had sensed the latent power within Aristan and he had spent every moment after that day training his young apprentice in the philosophy of the Sith Order. Grandar opened his hand to his young apprentice and called him to a new life, a life of purpose.
