Frustrated with the Sith Emperor and his own involvement in the dark side, the fearsome Scourge begins to question his place in the galaxy. Torn between his life as a Sith and an inkling of needing to do the right thing, the powerful warrior remains internally torn between two sides for centuries.

In a thrilling twist for players, Scourge's long-gestating plans to betray the Emperor and put a stop to his galaxy-crushing plans lead to him becoming a trusty companion for a spell. With sharp, often biting dialogue, immense Force powers, and an unexpectedly strong sense of loyalty to the Hero of Tython, Scourge quickly transitions from grim villain to likable anti-hero.

The closing stretch of his arc sees him help save the day before being awarded the Cross of Glory for his bravery. Scourge's journey serves as a moving meditation on it never being too late to turn one's life around.

After years of darkness, his commitment to saving the galaxy sees him readily accepted by the Jedi as an ally, helping him to move past, and atone for, his wicked crimes. It's a supremely effective piece of storytelling from BioWare's MMORPG that gave fans the bizarre, memorable sight of a heroic Sith Lord standing tall with the Jedi.
