Ludo Kressh

Dark Lord of Sith

Ludo Kressh was a powerful Sith Lord. After the death of the Ninth Dark Lord, Marka Ragnos, Ludo Kressh thought that he was the best Sith Lord to succeed as next Dark Lord of the Sith. When he arrived at Korriban to relay his grief to the late Dark Lord of Sith, he noticed that his arch-rival, Naga Sadow, was not there. He now indeed believed himself the rightful successor. Leading the funeral procession, Kressh followed the traditonal rituals to the strictest detail. Rudely arriving late, Naga Sadow was bold enough to claim the title of Dark Lord at the end of the funeral service. This was the last straw. Lord Kressh believed that Sadow would lead the Sith Empire to doom. An isolationist, Kressh believed that the Sith Empire was perfectly good as it was, exactly contrary to Sadow's imperialistic beliefs. Naga Sadow wanted expansion and more conquest. Furious, he challenged Sadow to a duel, but both were interrupted when the spirit of Ragnos appeared to them, cautioning them and urging them to strengthen the Sith empire rather than engage in combat. But nevertheless, the two continued to fight to the death. Their duel was intterupted by the arrival of two twins, Gav and Jori Daragon. Kressh believed that this was a precursor to a massive invasion by the Old Republic and had them sentenced to death. He then promptly began to strengthen the Sith forces. However, the devious Sadow skillfully executed a jail break, making it look like an attempt by the Old Republic to jab at the Sith Empire. The Sith Lords were thrown into an uproar because they believed that the Republic had acted without provocation and that invasion was imminent. They named Naga Sadow as the Dark Lord of Sith instead of Kressh. Fuming with anger, Kressh stormed off with his followers. After intense investigation, he discovered Sadow's trickery. Kressh mounted an armed rebellion against the Dark Lord, vowing to fight to save the Sith Empire from Sadow's reckless plans. But the Dark Lord knew of the plot and ambushed the rebels. Thus, with them out of the way, he could now concentrate on the current war, the Great Hyperspace War. But, unknownst to Lord Sadow, Ludo Kressh had narrowly escaped and was beginning to plot again.
