Palpatine
I've always wondered about Palpatine. Of all the characters in the trilogy, he is the most oppressive and well known. But there is a detalied background I'm missing. I am an avid Roleplayer, and often a GM. I was running short of campaign ideas when something struck me; I should include Palpatine. In all my campaigns, I'd never actually used Palpatine. I'm one of those GM's who likes their villans and allies to be highly detailed. But when I went to rework Palp into the campaign I was missing a backstory. I don't really know that much about him! He's a Sith yes, apprenticed by Plageious. Blah, blah, blah. I know that already! I need something new! If there is anyone that has a detailed history of Palp, be more than welcome to share it!

Like Yoda, Sidious' back story is shrowded in mystery. We may never know where they really came from and what they did to get where they are. It's the kind of ying yang balance that Lucas is always trying to put forth in the GFFA. If the novels that feature Bane continue down the line we may get the entire story of th enew Sith order Bane created all the way down to Sidious, I'd love it if that was the case

Alas, the Plagueis novel was cancelled... and the reason given was to maintain the mystery. So I'm not counting on getting some Palpatine backstory anytime soon. :(
