Darth Nihilus

Darth Nihilus is less a traditional personality and more a force of nature driven by an insatiable, all-consuming hunger for Force energy. By the time he appears in Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic II, the man he once was has been completely devoured by the dark side, leaving behind a void. His personality traits are defined by this "Lord of Hunger" persona: Driven by hunger: Nihilus's primary motivation is to consume the life force of others, a constant and escalating need that dictates all his actions. He does not seek power for control or galactic rule, but simply to feed himself. Detached and monstrous: He has ceased to feel most conventional emotions, making him frighteningly pragmatic. The fear he instills in others is a tool he embraces to satisfy his craving for power. He is described as a "black hole" or "cosmic horror" rather than a person. Aggressive and predatory: While cautious in his approach, Nihilus is a dominant and ruthless figure. He operates like a predator, using a variety of Force powers to drain his victims from a distance, rather than engaging in prolonged, traditional combat. Nihilistic: True to his name, Nihilus believes all life's purpose is to die and be consumed. He is a pure nihilist who views all other beings as merely a feast to be devoured. Anger at betrayal: One of the few glimpses of his former human emotions was his anger when his apprentice, Visas Marr, betrayed him. He felt their Force bond break, which slightly weakened him during their confrontation. From man to monster Nihilus's personality was not always a void. His transformation is a tragic origin story: Trauma during the Mandalorian Wars: He was once a human male who survived the detonation of the Mass Shadow Generator on Malachor V. Creation of a "wound in the Force": The catastrophic event left him as a wound, or an echoing void, in the Force. He discovered that consuming the life force of other beings temporarily eased his suffering. Apprenticeship with Darth
