Darth Glume became a Sith sorcerer and alchemist at the age of thirty. He developed his skills in the dark arts, and his power grew to rival that of his contemporaries, even approaching the legendary power of Darth Sidious. He studied the teachings of Darths Desolous, Malady, Wyyylocks I, II, III, and IV, Drear and also those of Qordis and Vul Isen. Developing the Force powers of Infect, Parasite, Plague, and Pestilence, he planned to overthrow his fellow Sith. However, he lost that opportunity when he was left for dead after the Battle of Gorog Nest.
