Letifer was a warlord within the Disciples of the Ancients, noted for his ruthless tactics and his impressive use of the lightsaber and the Force. He was considered one of the top brass in the Disciples' ranks. Unlike most of the members of the Disciples, Letifer willingly allowed himself to become indoctrinated into its ranks, seeing the results as a means of strength, rather than enslavement. As such, he was one of the few under Mephidrius that held the Dreadlord's beliefs and goals before the indoctrination.
