Biography
Not much is known about the person known as Lord Malignous. In life he had been a powerful Sith Sorcerer, eventually discovering the power of eternal life as a conscious ghostly manifestation.
Destroyed in unknown events, Lord Malignous returned to the Sith Library-temple on Krayiss II to seek revenge on those who would steal the Sith's secrets within the temple's archives. Cloaked in black on black robes with a crown of thorns upon his head, the Dark Lord stood as a gatekeeper at the great wooden doors of the library-temple. Summoned through the use of incantations, Lord Malignous only appeared if the library-temple rose from the rocky surface of Krayiss II
