Darth Sylitius was born and raised on the dry dusty planet of Korriban. As a child, he was underestimated by everyone because he was overconfident in saying he would one day defeat the Jedi and restore power to Sith. They would taunt him for his dreams and even his parents thought he was being too overconfident of his abilities. For many months, Sylitius and his trusty droid, R7-M4, collected parts from the junkyard and slowly pieced his TIE Phantom together. He decided to name the TIE Phantom the Death Bringer. He equipped it with a slot for his droid so they could travel together. He could not find any of the stygium crystals to allow for the cloaking until later.
