A few weeks ago, I asked the light side version of this question, so this week, we’ll go to the dark side.

Which non-Star Wars character would make the most powerful Sith?

This is another question that I had difficulty answering. I must’ve started writing this paragraph three or four times, each time with a different answer, before settling on what I’m answering now. As I did for the Jedi version of this question, I’m pulling my answer out of R.A. Salvatore’s corner of Forgotten Realms.

Yvonnel Baenre.

Like I said last time, the drow are a cruel and vicious race. For over 1000 years, their city of Menzoberranzan was ruled by the most cruel and vicious of them all: Matron Mother Yvonnel Baenre. She did everything in her power to rise to the top of the city’s hierarchy and even worse to stay there. Anyone who stood in her way or hindered her position of power, including her own family, were dealt with swiftly and mercilessly. Yvonnel enjoyed watching people suffer, even if she wasn’t the one inflicting the pain. In fact, the more ruthless you were, the higher esteem she held you in.

And, I’d be willing to bet that if she had the powers of the Dark Side of the Force instead of her priestess spells, she wouldn’t have lost her fight against Drizzt Do’Urden and his companions.

What about you? Which non-Star Wars character do you think would make the most powerful Sith?
