He revelled in his new found powers and became extremely ruthless. Although it is debatable whether Revan actually fell to the Dark Side first, he nevertheless guided Malak down that path. Together they converted the Jedi under their control and journeyed deep into the ancient ways of the Sith. It was during one of their excursions on Dantooine that Revan and Malak found the ancient temple buried within the forbidden lands surrounding the Jedi enclave.
There they learned of the Star Forge , an ancient Sith relic, fabled to be the ultimate weapon. After the defeat of Mandalore himself, the Mandalorian clans disbanded and the war was thought to be over. However, Revan and Malak claimed to be hunting down the last Mandalorian remnants and disappeared off to the lonely outer rims. In reality, they were searching for the Star Forge, a sentient battle platform capable of extraordinary power.
Together, they re-emerged from the outer rims as Lords of the Sith. Revan, the stronger of the two, took up the mantle of Master, while Malak assumed the role of the Apprentice. Revan's brilliance and Malak's ruthlessness, led the duo to conquer world after world. The Jedi, in a desperate attempt to stop the fallen heroes, devised a plan with Bastila Shan to trap them. She, alongside a strike team, boarded Revan's flagship and confronted him.
However Malak had plans of his own. Now firmly in control of the Sith, he resumed his attacks on the Republic and took an apprentice.
Although he sorely lacked the military brilliance, and intelligence, that Revan demonstrated, he was nonetheless a capable leader and his enormous fleet was more than a match for the weakening Republic. Fearful of his old master, Malak kidnapped the person closest to Revan, Bastila herself. Malak tortured her until she converted to the Sith.
His attempts to turn Bastila against Revan ultimately failed as she was defeated by him, thereby revealing her deep affection for the legendary Sith. The final confrontation took place on the Star Forge and although Malak fought with all the tenacity he could muster, drawing power from fallen Jedi held captive for his own use, he was defeated by Revan.

However, Malak, who was on board the Leviathan , soon grew impatient with the search for Shan and ordered Karath to use the Leviathan to destroy the planet. Nonetheless, Shan was able to return unharmed to Dantooine on the light freighter Ebon Hawk , thanks to the efforts of Carth Onasi, the amnesiac Revan—who was unaware of his former identity as the Dark Lord—and their companions.
Soon after their arrival, Revan was retrained in the Jedi ways in the Enclave on Dantooine, since he began having visions of his past and the Star Maps that led to the Star Forge. Shortly thereafter, a bounty hunter named Calo Nord —who had been defeated on Taris by Revan, and had managed to escape Taris' destruction—was hired by Malak to track down Shan and her allies, capture her, and kill her companions.
Nord and Karath revealed to Malak that one of Shan's companions was Revan, whom the Sith Lord had long believed to be dead. Despite Nord's galaxy-wide reputation as a bounty hunter, he did not survive his next encounter with Revan. After Nord's death, Karath informed Malak of the bounty hunter's failure. Malak believed that no bounty hunter could stand against a Jedi, and to avoid making the same mistake twice, the Sith Lord sent his apprentice, Darth Bandon, after Shan.
Malak ordered Bandon to find Shan and to bring her to him alive, if at all possible. There were rumors that Bandon would challenge Malak for the right to rule the Sith, [52] but Bandon never had a chance to develop his plans, as he failed to capture Shan and was killed by Revan during the quest to locate the Star Forge. Malak also captured eight Jedi for later use on the Star Forge.
While on their search for the fifth and final Star Map needed to locate the Star Forge, the Ebon Hawk and its crew were captured by the Sith and brought on board the Leviathan. While Malak, who was in another sector at the time, made his way to the Leviathan , Karath began to torture and interrogate Revan, Shan, and Onasi in an attempt to find out their mission's objective.
Sometime after Karath ended the interrogation, an Ebon Hawk crew member who had evaded capture managed to liberate Revan and the others from the detention area. The crew then split into two groups. Shan, Onasi, and Revan headed to the bridge of the Leviathan to lower the ship's shields, disable the tractor beam , and unlock the door to the docking bay, while the rest of the crew went directly to the docking bay to prepare the Ebon Hawk for escape.
By the time Malak arrived on the ship, Shan, Onasi and Revan had already disabled the tractor beam, killing Karath in the process. Malak encountered the trio on their way to the docking bay, hindering their escape. Conferring with his three adversaries, Malak discovered that Revan still had no knowledge of his time as a Dark Lord. Amused, Malak revealed to Revan the truth of his former identity, which Shan confirmed to the shocked Revan.
Malak then used the Force to create a stasis field around Shan and Onasi and prepared to kill his former Master. Revan proved himself to be a capable swordsman, however, holding his own against the Dark Lord before being caught in stasis, rendering him defenseless. Meanwhile, Shan and Onasi were freed from stasis, and Shan intervened so that Revan and Onasi could escape, though her actions came at the cost of being defeated and captured by Malak.
Following a week of torture, Malak succeeded in breaking Shan's will, finally turning her to the dark side, and took her as his apprentice to replace the fallen Darth Bandon. Eventually, the Star Forge was operating at three hundred percent beyond the Sith's expectations, and the space station added new ships to the Sith fleet every day.
Malak was informed by Sith Admiral Varko that the fleet was merely awaiting the Dark Lord's instructions; the Sith Lord was confident that they would be invincible once Shan provided assistance with her battle meditation.
Assuming they would be victorious, Malak told Varko of his plans to begin the final conquest of the Core Worlds , which would crush the Republic permanently. After Revan and the Jedi penetrated the Star Forge's defenses, Malak was not surprised, ordering one of his Dark Jedi to dispatch the Star Forge battle droids to deal with them. However, Malak underestimated the Jedi, and the Dark Jedi Master brought news of the droids' failure. Malak was at first surprised that any Jedi could stand against an army of Star Forge droids, but then he was told that Revan was with the Jedi.
Acknowledging Revan's power, Malak dispatched his forces and Dark Jedi to hinder Revan's progress and allocate enough time for the Sith Lord himself to fully prepare the Star Forge's defenses, knowing that his Sith troops would only slow Revan down, not defeat him. Shan was conflicted due to her love for Revan, but Malak stated that she would prove herself worthy of being his apprentice if she defeated the former Sith Lord, a mandate that Shan promised she would not fail to complete.
The Dark Lord later mused that perhaps Shan would be able to defeat Revan, but even if she failed, it would provide the necessary time to prepare the Star Forge's defenses. However, Revan also convinced Shan to return to the light side and aid the Republic through her battle meditation. Malak—who was in the midst of using the Force to choke two Jedi prisoners—was confronted by Revan outside the turbolift leading to the Star Forge's observation tower.
Upon his former Master's arrival, the Dark Lord threw his lightsaber into one of the Jedi and blasted the other with Force lightning, killing both. Revan offered Malak a chance to surrender, reminding the Dark Lord that the Jedi might show him mercy. However, Malak replied that the wiping of an individual's identity was no act of mercy and stated that he would rather die. The Sith Lord then unleashed his unlimited army of Star Forge battle droids against Revan, using the opportunity to escape to the Star Forge's observation deck.
Revan managed to stop the droids from attacking him and followed Malak to the observation tower. Malak realized that his former Master's powers had surpassed those that he had held during his reign as the Dark Lord.
Malak proclaimed his intention to break Revan's will and make his former Master his apprentice, as Revan would be a far greater asset than Shan and her battle meditation. However, Malak feared that Revan was too powerful to be his apprentice, believing that Revan would betray him should the former Sith Lord become the stronger of the two. After Revan retorted that he would not turn to the dark side again, the two began a lightsaber duel, in which the victor, unlike in their previous duels, would decide the fate of the galaxy.
Malak and Revan fought a fierce duel in the observation tower. However, Malak withdrew from battle, explaining to his former Master that he could not be defeated. He then told Revan that he had brought the bodies of eight Jedi from the Jedi Enclave on Dantooine to the Star Forge and explained that rather than letting the deceased Jedi become one with the Force, he had used the Star Forge to corrupt what remained of the dead Jedi's Force energy.
Malak used the Force to drain the life force from one of the Jedi, transferring it to himself. After replenishing his vitality, Malak resumed his duel with Revan.
However, the former Sith Lord freed as many of the captive Jedi as he could, allowing them to become one with the Force and shortening Malak's supply of energy. Malak was eventually brought to his knees, mortally wounded. He began to regret turning to the dark side, and Revan apologized to his old friend for starting him down the dark path. Malak was reminded by his former Master that he had chosen to continue to practice the dark side, and Malak told Revan that perhaps there was more truth in the Jedi Code than he had ever believed.
The dying Dark Lord realized that he alone had to accept responsibility for his fate. With his dying words, Malak recognized that as the darkness took him, he was nothing in the end. Malak died with sorrow and regret over his deeds, but without hatred or malice toward Revan, his one-time closest friend.
Malak's corpse was consumed by the flames of the failing Star Forge as the Republic fleet destroyed the ancient space station. One year after Darth Malak's death and the defeat of his Sith Empire, [2] Revan, now in possession of his full memories from his time as the Dark Lord, vanished from known Republic space to search for and defeat the Sith Emperor and his Sith Empire.
Surik encountered visions from her past, the first of which was an apparition of the young Malak before his fall to the dark side. As Surik looked on, Malak slowly lured several Jedi to his side. When Surik refused to join him, Malak and the other apparitions attacked; however, Surik prevailed over the visions.
Shortly after this, Surik defeated the Sith Triumvirate and their Sith forces, which were comprised of forces that served under Malak's Sith Empire. Revan never returned from the Unknown Regions, as he was captured by the True Sith Empire, [24] and three centuries after Malak's death, the Sith Empire launched an attack on the Republic.
This ignited a war that lasted for decades until the Sith Emperor signed a treaty with the Republic. Containing a wealth of Sith knowledge and tactics from the Jedi Civil War, the Morrigan Scrolls were worth thousands of credits to collectors who were aware of the work's significance. The atrocities that Darth Malak committed overshadowed his good deeds as a Jedi Knight in galactic history.
While Revan was remembered and admired by many for his tactical genius and subtleties, and was celebrated as a hero both before and after his corruption for winning the Mandalorian Wars and Jedi Civil War, Malak by contrast was remembered by others, such as Exchange crime boss G0-T0 , as something of a brute who had left the galaxy in a mess.
Many sentients thought the situation would have been different if Revan had remained the Dark Lord of the Sith, believing that Revan's strategies would have led to a stronger and more unified galaxy, while Malak's genocidal reign had only caused a greater destabilization of the galaxy and nearly destroyed all of his former Master's original goals. Darth Malak was a light-skinned Human male who stood two meters in height. During his time as the Dark Lord of the Sith, Malak wore a set of skin-tight, red-orange body armor that showed off his physique, draped in a half-cape of black cloth, [3] and employed a self-built lightsaber [2] that produced a red blade longer than those of standard lightsabers.
Before taking the name "Malak," [7] Alek was an optimistic young Jedi with a distinctive sense of justice, which he shared with his friend and "Master," Revan. Alek believed that in doing so, he was fulfilling what the Jedi Council failed to do: defend the Republic citizens that the Jedi had sworn to protect. After becoming Malak, however, he began to believe that his identity did indeed matter because there was nobody left who knew him as Alek.
He vowed that people would remember his "Malak" identity. After experiencing a vision of the Mandalorians' genocide of the Cathar people, Malak came to believe that all Mandalorians were incapable of friendship, including Jarael and Carrick's companion Rohlan Dyre, [12] who was in actuality Demagol. He ordered the forces under his command to detain and search every speeder for Demagol, regardless of citizens' rights and the various Coruscanti jurisdictions. While many in the Republic credited Revan's military strategies for the Republic's success during the Mandalorian Wars, other individuals were quick to point out Malak's fierce courage and relentless fury at the forefront of every battle as the key to the victory.
With the horrors of war clear to him, he understood that he would face this dilemma. After Malak and Revan defeated the Mandalorians at Malachor V, the former realized that all his efforts would be for nothing if a strong hand was not in control of the galaxy.
He knew that the only people he could put his trust in were the forces he had fought with, feeling that they were capable defenders. That was when Malak finally understood the dark side, believing that it was named from the ignorance of never having killed and of never having to order friends to their deaths.
Malak also believed the dark side was named from the ignorance of not experiencing the perpetual belief that every day would be one's last day—all for cowards unwilling to fight for their own survival.
He shared these thoughts with his closest friend, Revan, who found that he agreed and understood his friend's mindset completely. When Revan first introduced Malak to his assassin droid, HK, the droid took an almost instant dislike to him. At some point during Malak's tutelage under Revan, the droid informed him of his "meatbag status.
This drove Malak to extreme lengths of frustration. However, the Echani Handmaiden Brianna opined that Malak's destruction of Taris exemplified his heart through the operation's execution and intent. Brianna, who, like most Echani, understood people through the way they fought, felt that Taris's destruction showed Malak's commitment to defeating the Jedi, despite the fact that the act of razing Taris was brutal and lacked finesse.
Even after Malak's initial fall to the dark side, a part of him still held true to the Jedi way. At the beginning of Revan's quest to find the Star Forge, Malak was apprehensive, knowing that if he followed Revan any further, he would forever forsake his commitment to the Jedi and the Republic.
Yet despite further corruption by the dark side, Malak was never fully able to rid himself of the good in him. Moments before he died from wounds inflicted by a redeemed Revan, the Dark Lord allowed himself to let go of his hate and anger, reflecting on what his life could have been if he had not been corrupted by Revan as a Sith Lord—or if he had possessed the strength to forsake the dark side and return to the light, as Revan had done. Malak died with regret over his actions and without contempt toward his former friend.
When Alek met Jarael at Flashpoint Station, he recognized that she was not a Jedi, and pleaded with Demagol to be examined in her place; [6] he had hoped to spare Jarael the pain of being tortured. When Adasca struck Jarael for talking through her wrist comlink and demeaned her, Alek ignited his lightsaber in response and threatened Adasca with it, stating that Jarael was special and warning Adasca not to hurt her again.
After they ended Adasca's scheme and returned to Taris, Alek attempted to enter into a romantic relationship with Jarael. However, she was not ready, due to recent experiences that had left her vulnerable.
He asked her to question whether it was the timing that was the problem or if it was just him that she did not want to become involved with. Following Malak's brawl with Rohlan Dyre, [12] who was in actuality Demagol, [39] Carrick deceived Malak into believing that he and Jarael were romantically involved. Malak had figured the supposed relationship would end, believing that Jarael would end up being involved with someone older and more established.
During his time as a Jedi, Malak was trained as a Jedi Guardian , focusing on lightsaber combat and physical aspects of the Force. Eventually, Darth Malak came to be counted among the skilled swordsmen of his time. During his later reign as a Sith Lord, Malak employed the Force to choke more than one person at a time. Before his final duel with Revan, Malak demonstrated this ability to the former Sith Lord, simultaneously choking two of the Jedi that he had captured.
Immediately after, the Dark Lord exemplified his skills by throwing and plunging his lightsaber into the chest of one of the captured Jedi.
Malak's strength with the Force enabled him to create a whirlwind of Force energy that would encircle his victim, and he also possessed the ability to create a stasis field with the Force that he used to freeze his enemies in place.
He was proficient in using the Force to augment his speed and to suppress the abilities of another Force user. Malak was able to render himself virtually invulnerable to most Force powers for a limited amount of time, and was additionally capable of leaping large distances in order to reach his enemy. Darth Malak was able to amplify his screams, triggering shock waves that rippled through the Force.
He also used the Force to tap into his innermost fears, pain, and hate and convert them into intense anger, which could be channeled to increase his speed, strength, and ferocity. Malak's connection to the dark side gave him the use of Dark Healing, [2] an ability that fueled one's regenerative processes by draining the life force of another. Malak's willpower seemed to match that of Revan. During their travels together, he resisted the Star Maps' and Malachor V's overwhelming influence as well as Nathema's vast emptiness.
BioWare created Malak to help explain why and how Revan, the game's protagonist, lost both his power and memories. A character named Alek or "Squint" sharing Malak's characteristics appeared in issue 0 , [5] published on March 1 , , [62] of John Jackson Miller 's Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic comic series , [5] leading to speculation among fans of the series that Alek and Darth Malak were the same character. Sith: The Essential Guide to the Force in When asked in a series of questions on his blog about Malak's age, Miller stated that the Jedi was closer in age to Jarael—who was born in BBY [38] —and that Malak was older than Zayne Carrick.
The light-sided ending in which Revan slays Malak and destroys the Star Forge has been confirmed as the canonical ending. However, in the alternate dark-side ending for Knights of the Old Republic , Revan gives in to the dark side at the Temple of the Ancients on Rakata Prime. He and Bastila Shan, who has sworn fealty to him, board the Star Forge and make their way to the command center. Malak is eventually slain by Revan, who reclaims his title of Dark Lord of the Sith.
While various artwork portrays Malak with brown irises, [14] [70] both the Knights of the Old Republic video game and Celebration IV 's exclusive bust of Malak depict him with gray irises. An easter egg in the ending of the Xbox version of Knights of the Old Republic allows the player to transform Malak into a green-skinned female Twi'lek dancer and skip the final battle.
