The Old Republic: Who is the mysterious Sith Emperor?

[DarthRevanMaster]

We've heard that the True Sith Empire attacked the Old Republic with a secret Sith Emperor Leader. Who this Sith Emperor might be? We also know that he is/was over 1400 years old!The Emperor survived the ancient Sith Empire's defeat during the Great Hyperspace War, and fled into the Unknown Regions with his most trusted Sith Lords. Here, he began rebuilding the Empire of the True Sith, vowing to return and defeat the Republic. Using dark rituals, the Emperor prolonged his life and his undisputed rule. He led the Sith Empire during the Great Galactic War and after its conclusion withdrew, deferring control to his Dark Council, in order to pursue his own mysterious goals. (Some part from Wookieepedia)
Anyway the big question is: Who is the Sith Emperor? I think it might be nobody else but Naga Sadow. He led the original Sith Empire againts the Republic during the Great Hyperspace War. He luckily escaped from the total destruction. He went to Yavin 4 with his most trusted Sith! Who else could be the Sith Emperor? Lundo Kressh and his group were killed by the Sadow's Massassi group. And other Sith were also killed because they weren't loyal to Sadow. Also Naga Sadow was the greatest Sith Lord at his time, so who else could be able to use dark rituals to prolonged his life? I think only Naga Sadow was able to do that. But this is my opinion(and I wouldn't be suprised if Naga Sadow going to be the Sith Emperor) . But what do you think? Who is the Sith Emperor?

Naga Sadow was dead long before the Great Galactic War, and the Sith invasion of Republic Space.
He fled to Yavin IV, under the pursuit of Republic ships at the end of the Great Hyperspace War, and destroyed them with a device that allowed him to rip out the heart of a sun.

He took the Massassi there with him and went into stasis for six-hundred years.
He was found by Freedon Nadd, who became his apprentice.
Nadd later killed him.

Correct you are Fyurii my friend!

Who knows to be honest and I'd rather not guess. Makes for a good mystery.

[Fyurii]

In all honesty, I don't want it to be one that we know of/have heard of.

Let Bioware exercise their creative juices on this one as well.
Should they choose one from EU past, fine.
Should they come up with an original character, all the better.
Ideally don't reveal an identity until much, much later.

[Seikan]

Yes but if we have never hear about him that can only be because he wasn't a great sith, i think the greatest siths on the Naga sadows reign were in a sort of sith council, the sith who choose Sadow to be the dark lord, no?

[Fyurii]

Nope, only the strongest rule.
They had the same way of the Sith as later generations, even those under the Rule of Two.

The Apprentice kills the Master when strong enough and ready to do so.

For him to have been Emperor for nearly 2 millenia is a feat no other Sith Lord has ever repeated.
By a combination of being the strongest, and his unnaturally extended lifespan.
His Dark Council was second in power and authority only to him.

That is what was so wrong with Lord Kaan.
He wasn't strong enough and made comprimises which lead to the Sith becoming more stagnant and closer to impotence.
Bane saved the Sith from extinction under Kaan.

[Seikan]

Yes but he all know that the emperor were stronger than "his most trusted Sith Lords" because they are "HIS" sith lords, and after their death he's the only one who control the knowledge of the new siths, so he can perfectly keep some secrets to let them on a sort of weakness, to keep the power, that's not so dificult when yo are the one who teach the others and that you are sure than you won't die with the time.

I'm lost on the question...he is the mysertious sit lord as we don't know who he is......we can't say who he is IF WE DON'T KNOW HIM!!

The OP never said for us to say whom it is.
As you so graciously pointed out, we can't.
We can however speculate about whom it might be based upon what is known about him to date.

Another theory I've seen, is that he's Ludo Kressh.
Basicly, the theory is that Kressh faked his death a second time and lead the remainging survivors of the Sith to safety in the Unknown Regions.

Personally, it sounds more like wishful thinking and I honestly hope Bioware comes up with someone original.
As it is, I'm almost disappointed it's a Sith Emperor, and not an Emperess...
SW in general is really sexist!

[DarthRevanMaster]

I didn't know that he was killed by Freedon Nadd. :S
Well, it seems the Mysterious Sith Emperor is a Mysterious Emperor. But an unknown Sith Lord who survived the Great Hyperspacewar and lived for over 1400 years to take revange and Rule the Galaxy? A bit absurd I think. And Ludo Kressh fake it's death for the second time? I don't think so, he is as dead as somebody could be dead.
Anyway in the Golden Age of the Sith except from Ludo and Naga Sadow. And of course the old Simus but he was killed by Sadow. So It's a little bit strange that a totaly unknown Sith Lord went to the Unknown Region with his most trusted Sith Lords and build in total secret a New Sith Empire? Well after the Great Hyperspacewar most of the Sith were defeated, dead and so on. Only Sadow and his group left (and maybe but i'm not quite sure that Ludo Kressh and his group) and the other unloyal Sith Lord were killed by the Massassi. So If it is neither Naga Sadow nor Ludo it's may be the apprenctice of Sadow/(Ludo) who left Yavin 4 after his master went to statis and continue to rebuild the Sith Empire. This is a possibility I think and may be the best 'cause that secret and unknown Sith Lord who survived the War and started to rebuild the Empire stuff is not so good. May the Sith Emperor is/was Naga Sadow Apprentice long before he went to statis. Naga Sadow was waiting for the New Golden Age of the Sith and his apprentice started rebuild the Empire. After Naga Sadow's dead who became the Sith Emperor.

But maybe Bioware made an other one, a totaly different one, who is this mysterious Sith Emperor. I'm really want to now who is this guy!
