Murrtaggh

Murrtaggh was a Jedi Master of the Jedi Order active during the New Sith Wars of 2000 BBY–1000 BBY. At one point he negotiated a deal with mercenaries of the Mandalorian warrior culture, hiring them to stage a diversionary attack on the camp of the Dark Underlord, a mysterious and powerful leader of the New Sith—the then-current incarnation of the Sith, the ideological antithesis of the Jedi. During the ensuing 1750 BBY battle on the Outer Rim Territories planet Malrev IV, Murrtaggh sneaked into the Dark Underlord's territory and assassinated the Sith, although in the process he himself fell to the dark side of the Force. By the time of the reign of the Galactic Empire more than a millennium later, the history of Murrtaggh and the Dark Underlord had become immortalized in a tale told by a Bimm bard whose repertoire of stories and songs focused on the exploits of the Jedi.
