Darth Charus was a Human male who served the Reconstituted Sith Empire as a Sith Lord and member of the Dark Council, overseeing the Sphere of Defense of the Empire centuries before the outbreak of the Great Galactic War. Part of a long heritage of Sith Lords, Charus was born on the Sith capital world of Dromund Kaas and trained from an early age to be Sith. He was among the best students of his class at the Dromund Kaas Academy, and his talents drew the attention of Darth Viscran, a member of the Dark Council, who took Charus as one of several apprentices. After defeating or discrediting his fellow apprentices in the eyes of their master, Charus emerged as Viscran's final student, and was eventually granted the title of Lord by the Dark Lord.
