Another name for the true leader of the mormon church, a horrible, twisted and sickly old man who did twisted things to someone then took that person away from me.
He is the master of the dark side of the force, aka mormonism and other religous fanaticism. He is deadly with his red lightsaber, but his devastating lightning is so powerful he doesn't even need it.
