Darth Vax

Darth Vax was a female Dark Lord of the Sith of Human or Sith pureblood descent who served on the Dark Council of the reconstituted Sith Empire sometime before the Galactic War with the Galactic Republic. During her time and later she was concidred as a prominent member of the Dark Council. Vax had a son, who succeeded his mother on the Dark Council after Vax's death years prior to the war, and her son took on the title Darth Arrid. However, Vax's will enabled to her to persist as a Force ghost, and she began to manipulate her son, using him as a mouthpiece to continue her rule from beyond the grave—a deception that took the other Dark Council members four years to discover.
