Famous Quote
"I have studied at the foot of the Dark Lord himself!"
Darth Bandon was a Human male Jedi Padawan who defected to the Sith Empire during the Jedi Civil War, a conflict initiated by theSith Lords Darth Revan and Darth Malak. Sometime after Malak betrayed his Master, Revan, during an ambush by the Jedi andRepublic forces attempting to capture them, Bandon became the newDark Lord's first Shadow Hand, elevating him to second-in-command of the Sith Empire. When the Sith attacked the Republic warshipEndar Spire above the planet Taris, Bandon boarded the ship along with the Sith troopers and Dark Jedi under his command and tried to capture the Jedi Knight Bastila Shan. He killed the Republic ensignTrask Ulgo, who sacrificed himself to save the former Sith Lord Revan, who had been mentally reprogrammed to be loyal to the Republic and to serve as a common soldier by the Jedi Council.
Shortly after the destruction of Taris, the bounty hunter Calo Nordwas hired by Malak to follow in pursuit of Shan, who escaped the bombardment with the help of Revan and his companions. After Nord was slain by Revan, Malak dispatched Bandon to find and capture the Jedi. Bandon located Revan in Manaan's underwater koltoharvesting base known as Hrakert Station, on the Selkath homeworldManaan. The Sith apprentice confronted Revan and his allies after they found a fourth Star Map that would give them the location of theStar Forge—the ancient Rakatan space station under Malak's control. Bandon underestimated the former Dark Lord and his companions, assuming that they would be no match for him. This proved to be his downfall, as Revan and his team vanquished Malak's Shadow Hand, along with the two Dark Jedi accompanying him.
After his death, Bandon's head was severed from his body and preserved by the Sith. 300 hundred years later, it had eventually been put on display in the House Alde Royal Museum on Alderaan.
