Seirn

Seirn is a fictional character primarily associated with the *Star Wars* expanded universe, most notably appearing in the *Star Wars: The Old Republic* (TWIST) role-playing game. Introduced as a key antagonist in the game’s *Knights of the Old Republic* campaign, Seirn is a powerful and enigmatic figure who embodies the duality of light and dark side principles. In the game’s lore, Seirn is often depicted as a former Jedi Master who fell to the dark side, seeking to reshape the galaxy through absolute control and ideological purity.

The character’s backstory varies depending on the narrative path taken in *TWIST*, but Seirn is frequently portrayed as a zealous believer in the dark side’s potential to create a utopia free from the "weaknesses" of the Jedi Order. His motivations often revolve around the belief that the galaxy must be purged of corruption and chaos, leading to his ruthless pursuit of power. Seirn’s influence extends beyond the game, appearing in comics, novels, and other *Star Wars* media, where he is sometimes framed as a precursor to more infamous dark side figures like Darth Vader or Emperor Palpatine.

In *TWIST*, players can encounter Seirn in various forms, including his iconic armored avatar and his more human-like counterpart, Seirn the Dark. His interactions with players are designed to challenge moral and philosophical dilemmas, reinforcing themes of free will versus determinism. While Seirn is not a central figure in the main *Star Wars* canon, his presence in *TWIST* has contributed to discussions about the ethics of extremism and the consequences of unchecked ambition within the *Star Wars* universe.
