      You should do lord praven, it may prove an interesting video due to his story. You should include the dialogue he has on corellia with lord scourge.

    Yes! It's here at last! Thank you so much! :D
    I have been theorizing that the reason Thanaton clinged to tradition so badly, especially in regards to the Inquisitor, is because, if the Dark Council had followed tradition all the way, Teneb Kel would have been executed immediately and never have gone through all the harships he did to prove his worth. It would have been a kind of mercy, not the torture that it was. No matter what he did, the Council would never acknowledge him or leave him alone for that matter until he became Darth Thanaton. Letting him live was a defiance of tradition. I think it's a form of compensation. On that note, seeing Darth Zash and her apprentice escape or defy tradition and not be punished for it was unacceptable when his own master (and himself) was punished for overstepping his boundaries as a Sith Lord. So it was likely a mixture of that and the common Sith trope of fearing for their power.
    Sorry for the long analysis ^^

    As the Inquisitor was my first story in swtor Thanaton holds a high place my heart for the villians. I remember that during my move across states, i took the time to read some swtor comics and I instantly loved Thanaton's story.
    His hold on tradition I always saw as him attempting to enforce the rules that should have been invoked against him for his master's failings. Which then led to his test by the Dark Council. I even think that despite Marr's words after Thanaton's death, that the council didn't like him and perhaps even wanted him gone. He was a traditionalist that refused to evolve with the times. Combined with him essentially demanding the Council to help him kill the Inquisitor, I think the Council had enough of him. Beyond the foolishness of demanding aid to kill a slave turned lord, Thanaton showed his fear of evolution. The Inquisitor represents change for Empire and the Sith, a change that calls for tradition and teachings to evolve or die.

    • @SWCentral
      @SWCentral  2 месяца назад +2

      Yeah in his youth he seemed to display many of the core Sith traits. You can tell Marr had some respect for him for standing his ground in the end. For claiming his rightful place instead of cowering in fear.
      Shame he fled the Kaggath, he broke the rules…

      @@SWCentral I will always find that funny. He knows the rules of Kaggath, yet tries anyway to get the Dark Council on his side. They know how tradition obsessed he is, why did he really think it would work? Especially once Marr calls him out on his bs.

    @mrgreen6980 2 месяца назад +2

    I believe the answer is simple. Power. If you can weaponize the following of Tradition or the breaking of it. Then it is yours to do what you wish.
    Thanaton believed following Tradition gave him power, not his own power making it so.

    Darth Thanaon maybe not like darth Baras who I think was a better antagonist in my opinion especially with sith warrior, darth Thanaton as the antagonist for sith inquisitor was an interesting antagonist for sith inquisitor story.

    Now I love this blatant hypocrite, he spouts "tradition" after blackmailing his way into becoming a Sith Lord and has the nerve to judge the future Darth Nox. Though he's another Sith Lord i'd love to have worked with, if I had a choice between him and and Zash, i'd choose Thanaton.

      I just finished the Inquisitor storyline yesterday for the 15th time lol. I didn’t like my choices for the 14th iteration and decided to go through Revan (which I normally skip) for the title of Dark Council Elite, and make some other tweaks. I love the Inquisitor story arc.

    Wonder how a conversation would go between Darth Thanaton & Darth Bane on how Sith ideals & Doctrine should be followed. Wonder how one would view the other.
