Well we are probably one of the most active people these days who are positioned in the middle of Ashla and Bogan (original names for the Light and Dark sides of the force) thus making us the one most likely to understand the stuff that's about to happen.
Ciaran: No, most of my actual teaching was done by Darth Vectivus.
Vectivus was a Baneite so the jedi don't know about him.
That's a hell of a trick, since he didn't kill his master, he never took an apprentice and he died peacefully of old age.
Well, some Baneite sith did not follow the Rule of Two all that closely. For example, Darth Tenebrous taught two apprentices at the same time, Plagueis and Venamis.
Alternatively he took one at a time, moving on to another apprentice once Vectivus peaced out.
Yeah, that is probably what happened with Vectivus and whoever his teacher was.
I just figured that he faked his death in such a way that his apprentice believed that he killed him, then he changed his name and became a business mogul. Well that or he basically went "Welp your strong enough, here take my job i'm retiring."
The wiki doesn't say he didn't kill his master and that he didn't take an apprentice. More likely is he did the former and survived his apprentice through his teachings and the fact that he wasn't a rival.
Well, yeah. Not just for the possibility of Abeloth, but also to keep a memento in the Vault.
Well that and because the thing probably has some seriously powerful Force mojo. Its one of the few things I am comfortable saying that if we stab something with it that something is most certainly dead.
...... i mean we are kinda dark? but we still do light side stuff... but anakin does some dark side stuff to. hmmmmm.
While I will be the first to admit that we are certainly darker than most I honestly see Ciaran as being in the middle.
That's the point: we're Anakin's reflection. Grayish dark vs grayish light, near perfect control over a normal amount of power vs little control over overwhelming power, one who fights from the shadows wielding secrets as weapons vs The Hero Of The Republic! We're his opposite in nearly every way.
......huh i guess we are aren't we?
Silas: No, no of course not. I'm sure of that. Though I'm going to be honest: Anakin, I might be your father!
...Honestly, while we have the title, in terms of how Ciaran actually acts and feels I can see her representing the Light Side better than Anakin or even Obi Wan. Remember, beneath all the bullshit the light side is about 'calmness, gathering knowledge, and defense'. Using the force to gather knowledge and prevent the need for fighting whilst maintaining overall emotional detachment is pretty much the Light side ideal.
