Pretender was the name given to several proclamed Dark Lord of the Sith after the death of Darth Caedus. The first of these was the founder of the One Sith, Darth Krayt, then his successor, Darth Nihl. The only Dark Lord of the One Sith to escape being called pretender was Darth Vornskr who later founded the Tri-Sith Order with his former regent, Darth Recors and an other Sith. Darth Recors took the title of Dark Master of the Sith and was often called "the pretender" by the other leaders and their followers.
