Who is The Apprentice?

My true name was forgotten when I became one with the dark side. I am more powerful than Vader. I make Emperor Palpatine look like a padawan. I am The Apprentice.
My life began in 32 B.B.Y., when the Battle of Naboo took place, on Alderaan, the world of unspoiled beauty. The Jedi never sought me after, for the Clone Wars had begun. By the time I was eight, I had mastered a basic force push and pull. I started doing studies about these strange powers. I found out that these powers were The Force, used by Jedi and Sith alike. During my father?s trip to Coruscant, in 18 B.B.Y., I had been told to do whatever I pleased; my father was leaving me on Coruscant to study in aviation. After my father left, still months before classes began, I ventured into the ruins of the Jedi Temple. Almost everything in the archives was intact. I was fascinated by the skills I could learn. Too busy mastering the ways of The Force, I abandoned the aviation schooling. My infuriated father returned to Coruscant. He could not find me, but I found him. Not only had I learned the ways of the Light side of The Force, but the Dark side as well. I killed him with a devastating shock of lightning, famously exploited by Darth Tyrannis. I stole his credits, every cent, and began repairing the training items of the Jedi. Locked in a vault, I found the Great Holocron of the Jedi. To further my abilities, I crafted a lightsaber, with a red focusing crystal. I even took a journey to the Sith?s Valley of Dark Lords, Korriban. Among the artifacts, I came across many Sith holocrons. I used them to even further expand my knowledge. Ever since the Jedi Purge, I had to watch my back constantly, so when I finally left the Jedi Temple, I was sure to cover up my tracks. There has never been any information on myself. I erased everything that would even tell of my name, place of birth, even where I had just eaten lunch. I was nobody. A ghost. I found work as a bounty hunter. I went by the name of Jax Myreel. I was one of the best bounty hunters. The Boba Fett was one of the few who greater than I, but if I had even tried, there would never be a claimable bounty anywhere, so not to raise suspicions, I laid low as mediocre bounty hunter. While on a hunt on Tatooine, I was found by Darth Vader. To this day I do not know how. He was prepared to kill me. But instead he gave me a proposition: become his apprentice. When he asked of my true name, I told him I had long forgotten it. From that day forth, I was known as Vader?s Apprentice. I hunted down the very few remaining Jedi while Vader and Palpatine ruled the galaxy. Before I killed the Jedi I always asked them this: Fear is the path to the dark side. Fear leads to anger. Anger leads to hate. Hate leads to suffering. What do you fear? But this is just the beginning.

So tell me: What is it that you fear?
