| abstract | - A mission on Dathomir and encounter with the Nightsisters caused Ryu to fall to the Dark Side, betraying the Jedi Order and joining Darth Krat's secret Council of Darkness made up of followers of the Dark Side across time to preserve the Sith Order and make sure the Light and Dark Sides are balanced. On a mission with the Council, Ryu accidentally killed a young Anakin Skywalker, effectively destroying the balance of the Light and Dark Side and unleashing the Catastrophe. Ryu was able to restore the life of Anakin and prevent the total annihilation of the galaxy, but was effectively kicked out the Council. The timeline was drastically effected, as the Separatists launched a devastating attack on multiple planets, known as the Siege. An uprising group known as the Survivors of the Siege was formed and Ryu joined, defeating the Siege forces. With the Siege defeated, the Council of Darkness decided to revert the timeline, but this time not inviting Ryu into the Council. Although retaining his past memories, Ryu had a change of heart, but knew the Jedi Order would not forgive him for his outrageous deeds. Ryu instead became a bounty hunter, heading toward Tatooine and enlisting in the services of Jabba the Hutt. His first mission was to take out a former Death Watch member who left and threatens to reveal the location of their whereabouts. The target turned to be Umari, his love interest, but Ryu could not pull the trigger. He went into hiding with Umari until the Eternity Vault crisis, when the powerful Infernal One tried to break out of an Old Republic era prison. Ryu and Umari reemerged to help the uniting Republic and Separatist forces defeat the Infernal One. Umari was killed and Ryu detonated the hidden Sith artifact to destroy the Infernal One. Returning to his homestead on Tatooine, Ryu was welcomed by the Widow, a Nightsister that turned him to the dark side int he first place and cause him to lose nearly everything, and her forces. Revealing herself to be Ryu's lover from the Acolyte Academy on Mustafar, Ryu settled the score and decapitated her. Ryukos engaged into a Teras Kasi career, leaving his incredible past behind until the Galactic Civil War. After the destruction of the First Death Star, the Galactic Empire launched a crusade against force users. Ryukos was targetted, but escaped the crusade with the help of his daughter Aris and joined the Rebel Alliance, working as an undercover operative. The Galactic Civil War ended and Ryu joined the New Jedi Order. The Yuuzhan Vong invasion took place and Ryu was captured for a Sith artifact in place of his gallbladder. Ryu detonated the artifact, destroying his Yuuzhan Vong captors and killing himself in the year 25 ABY.
