    Sidious: Did you ever hear the story of Darth Vectivus The Kind?

    Sidious: I thought not. It’s not a story the Jedi would tell you. It's a Sith Legend.
    Darth Vectivus was a dark lord of the Sith, so powerful and so kind, he could use the Force to create Dark Side Phantom Ghosts, becoming a Dark Side Force Ghost and be the only Sith able to demonstrate kindness. He had such a knowledge of the dark side that he could even keep the ones he cared about from dying by just being curious about the dark side of the force and not being corrupted.

      Its not unheard of Sith ghosts being bound to places, artifacts or people... in fact it was quite common thing, but such Sith ghosts didnt have the "freedom" departed Jedi souls enjoyed.
      the only one Sith who became true "jedi" force Ghost was Darth Marr... and well - he died the most selfless death possible - (and was also at peace with dying if it was for the right cause - the cause being the Empire and its citizens).
      "Valkorion destroyed my flesh, but not my reason for being."
      and well - as he mentioned "There is no Death, there is only the Force... and It has a plan." (he hated passionately that Force was driving things certain way)
      Darth Marr was perhaps the only true patriot among Sith Order to idea of the Empire being more then tool of power.

    Vectivus was probably so well-liked and respected that even his own apprentice or successor did not want to kill him even though they are Banite Sith.

    This is what made him and Marka Ragnos unique. Because unlike literally everyone else barring Darth Marr, they realized this valuable lesson is key to a long prosperous life, so they sought to be loved rather than feared. And in the end they did what no sith had ever done before or since… lived to not just die of natural causes, but actually live to see old age.

    It's quite interesting that Darth vectivus took the path of studying the force and learning from it very much like the Jedi even though he was a dark lord of the Sith and the rule of two era and his legacy was not based off of destruction a typical legacy of a Sith Lord and I'm honestly surprised that he did not try to combine the teachings of the Jedi alongside the teachings of the Sith which were two different ideologies and I'm actually surprised that he was not considered a fool such as the sick Lord Darth millennial was considered for not agreeing with the tenants of the rule of two even though Darth vectavis did no evil I still consider him a stepping stone in the Sith grand plan somebody who would move the plan forward in order for another dark lord of the Sith to succeed him and to move it along leading to the rise of the empire

    This is something that I think makes the Sith so much more complex than simply "evil." The Sith, rather than being evil, use emotion to control the Force, yet not all emotion is negative. Joy, hope, and love are all emotions and "passions," the Sith can potentially call upon, they just aren't as easy to bring out as anger or fear. It's why Lucas's belief that the Sith are evil and there can be no grey area in the middle is really pretty awful. The introduction of entities like the Father and the Bendu are some of the additions that I think Disney actually did right

    What I’m most curious about is why a Sith Lord took him as an apprentice to begin with if he had no great aspirations for personal power much less galactic domination which was the whole point of the Rule of Two.
    Even if he/she thought they could eventually get him on track with the Sith philosophy over time, why didn’t they kill him when it obviously didn’t work as he now represented an existential threat to the survival of the Sith? Or did they try and he was forced to kill them instead?
    If he didn’t truly follow the philosophy of the Sith, then was he truly one at all or just a Darth in name only?

      Vectivus, didnt have as many openings to be killed off as other sith lords, unlike during the time of the old republic where thousands of sith roamed the galaxy. Plagueis for instance went down because of lowering his paranoia and trusting palpatine when drinking.
      assuming Vectivus doesnt want to be killed by his apprentice, or doesn't showcase any openings, there´s nothing the apprentice can do but wait for him to die of old age, this is actually addressed with Bane and Zannah, where Zannah was forced to fight Bane at his place and decision, simply because he attempted immortality, in her mind he had to be overthrown. If Vectivus attempted immortality he would've been overthrown.

      I feel like the warning signs would have cropped up long before this and Sith Lords aren’t exactly the inclusive type when it comes to doctrinal differences. If apprentices are deemed wanting from an ideological or Force potential standpoint, they are ruthlessly disposed of or the attempt will be made to as in the case of Darth Plagueis by his master Tenebrous who believed Plagueis’ resistance to the Rule of Two ultimately made him unworthy of succeeding him as the new Dark Lord.
      It’s just left completely ambiguous how this state of affairs could come about without his Master trying to kill him.
      I can only conclude they clashed over philosophical differences one final time at which point his Master judged him a failure and attempted to end him. But Vectivus disagreed and likewise deemed his Master unworthy of lordship for failing to see the self destruction that would ultimately end the Sith if they refused to change.
      And Vectivus emerged triumphant. I’m going to speculate based on his mindset and history that he was more a unifying Force user than a true Dark Lord but simply chose to keep the Darth title both as a statement of the superiority of his personal philosophy and due to his dedicated training within the dark side.

    I like to image that instead of black, grey, and red robes he wore a red dress shirt, dark grey vest, a black suit, black pants, black dress shoes, topped off with a black hooded trench coat that goes down to either half of the shins, or his ankles. Along with the occasional black, red, or grey tie (sometimes with black red or grey stripes). And his appearance wears a similar outfit to his master. Fitting attire for a man that values knowledge, business, wealth, and success that cared for others than one that seeks power, greed, and control and who lives selfishly
    Also it makes sense the Jedi never encountered or even of him, as he is so far removed for what Sith are that there weren’t any signs or clues to follow or investigate.
