Darth Plagueis, (/ˈpleɪɡɪs/ PLAYG-iss) also referred to as Darth Plagueis the Wise, is a fictional character in the Star Wars franchise created by George Lucas. A Sith Lord perceived to have the ability to cheat death and create life, Plagueis is the enigmatic mentor of Palpatine (known by his Sith name Darth Sidious), who eventually betrays Plagueis by murdering him in his sleep, taking his place as Sith Master in accordance with the Sith's Rule of Two. The character was first mentioned on-screen in the 2005 film Star Wars: Episode III – Revenge of the Sith, in which Palpatine frames his life and death as a "legend" to pique Anakin Skywalker's curiosity about the dark side of the Force. Plagueis has a more prominent presence in the Star Wars Expanded Universe.
