After his fall from grace, Adlevater found the holocron of the Darth Myst, the man who was once Supreme Chancellor Stavan Jetzt, and trained himself in the ways of the Sith, leading some to question whether or not he was a legitimate Sith Lord. After dubbing himself Darth Viscerus, Dark Lord of the Sith, he found an apprentice who he named Darth Dire and became the key forger of the new Sith Empire and the Great Sovereign Crusades.
