| abstract | - Merkory Chal'wala, later Darth Vires, was a Zabrak, born on the planet of Iridonia a few years before the outbreak of the Mandalorian War. He was born to a very rich and powerful family on Iridonia, the family of Chal'wala, and he was born with much political power. When the Mandalorian War started, his city and home was destroyed. Once the Mandalorians controlled Iridonia, he lost all his family, in one way or another, to the Mandalorians. Yet despite all this he harbored no ill toward them, as Kootha Jor saw when he discovered Merkory on Iridonia. He was taken to become a Jedi, and trained under the Jedi Master Eldorio. During his training, he fell in love with a fellow pupil, Yuthura Ban, but, after a short while, she tearfully ended their relationship saying that it was too dangerous, as she feared expulsion. This caused Merkory to leave the Jedi order, and start work as a bounty hunter for the Exchange, on Taris. He worked for the Exchange for a while, before one of his targets led him to Lehon. On Lehon, he discovered the Temple of the Ancients, and, upon entering it, discovered a fallen Jedi inside. The fallen Jedi recognized him, and told him how it was the Jedi's laws that had caused Yuthura to leave him, and, therefore, their fault. He agreed, before killing him, and joining the Sith Academy on Korriban. After his training, he ruined the academy, before traveling to join the Brotherhood of Darkness on Ruusan. He joined the Brotherhood, and, after his training, started hunting Jedi from the Dantooine enclave. After he could not kill his master, he traveled again to Lehon, to hone his skills. On Lehon, he discovered a young Rakatan, Lorcrim, who he took as his apprentice, before using the Rakata as an army. Using his army, he attacked the unsuspecting Republic, conquering many worlds before they finally fought back. He was redeemed by his daughter, Terpi, in the Battle of Nodraxa, before being killed by his former apprentice in the Battle of Korriban.
