Sheev Palpatine

Emperor Sheev Palpatine or Darth Sidious was a human male from Naboo. He was killed by Darth Vader at the age of 88, but was cloned on Exegol.

Early Life and Senator
He was born on Naboo and being Force Sensitive, he was discovered by Darth Plagueis "The Wise".

The Muun used his sith influence to make his apprentice a senator in the city of Theed at the relatively young age of 24, and he became Senator for Naboo at 31.

Killing his Master
In 61 BBE he went to the desert world of Dathomir to search for a new apprentice. He met with Mother Talzin of the Nightsisters, who gave him her 3 year old son, Maul.

Before training Maul, he snuck up on his master in his sleep and killed him. He then trained 'Darth Maul' as a Sith.

In 45 BBE he used the force on Shmi Skywalker to make her pregnant with Anakin Skywalker.

Invasion of Naboo
In 36 BBE he manipulated the Trade Federation into invading Naboo with a Droid Army. Then when the current Queen of Naboo: Padmé Amidala went to Coruscant he manipulated her into giving the Supreme Chancellor, Finis Valorum a vote of no confidence, and he soon replaced him.

Creating the Clone Wars
After Maul's believed death at the hands of Obi-Wan Kenobi, Palpatine started training a former Jedi, Count Dooku in the ways of the Sith. They worked together to create a Clone Army that would be loyal to Palpatine. All they needed was for the Senate to give the Chancellor, emergency powers to fight the rising Separatists. He was able to manipulate the dim-witted Gungan, Jar-Jar Binks into voting to give him these powers, and he won the vote.

He also manipulated the Jedi Council into sending Anakin Skywalker to protect Padmé, as he knew the pair would fall in love, this would be useful to him to turn Anakin into his Sith apprentice.

The End of the Clone Wars and Order 66
Near the end of the Clone Wars Palpatine was kidnapped by Separatist General Grievous and taken to his ship The Invisible Hand. Here was rescued by Anakin and Obi-Wan, and he manipulated Anakin into using the Dark Side to defeat and kill Count Dooku. They escaped the ship unharmed but slightly shaken.

Then he contacted Grievous on Utapau and told him to move the Separatist Leaders to Mustafar.

Over this time he gained Anakin's trust, made him his personal representative on the Jedi Council, and told him of his Master. Then he revealed his true self to Anakin, who informed Mace Windu, of the Jedi Council, who brought Kit Fisto, Saesee Tiin and Agen Kolar to Arrest him. This ended with all four Jedi dead, Palpatine horribly disfigured and Anakin - now known as Darth Vader - turned to the Dark Side. Palpatine sent Vader to wipe out the remaining Jedi in the Jedi Temple, then go to Mustafar and kill the Separatist leaders.

Palpatine then executed Order 66, making the clones spread across the galaxy to turn on their Jedi Generals. He then called an Emergency Meeting of the Senate in which he declared himself the First Galactic Emperor.

He was soon confronted by Grand Master Yoda, whom he dueled using Force Lightning and a Spare Lightsaber, as his original was lost in the duel with Windu. He was Victorious in this duel but soon felt that Vader's life was in danger so he immediately called for a shuttle. He arrived just in time to save Vader from the burning lava.

Back on Coruscant he watched Anakin's Transformation into Vader, he also used the force on Padmé so that she would die.

Death Star Completion
For 22 years the Empire had been working on the Massive Death Star Battle Station, and in 4 BBE it was completed. As a result of this Palpatine dissolved the Imperial Senate. He was furious when he discovered that it had been destroyed, and using the force discovered that Luke Skywalker, the son of Vader had done the deed.

Conversation with Vader
Whilst Darth Vader's Star Destroyer was pursuing the Millennium Falcon, the Emperor wished to contact him. He revealed that Luke was ' the Son of Skywalker' and they hatched a plan to freeze him in Carbonite in Cloud City.

The Second Death Star and Death
While the Second Death Star was under construction he visited it to create a trap for the Rebellion on the Forest Moon of Endor. He fed rebel spies information. Eventually his apprentice brought Luke to him and the two Skywalkers dueled, with Luke initially removing his father's hand before the Emperor used Force Lightning on Luke before Anakin threw him down a reactor shaft.

Exegol
As he was falling down the reactor shaft he used Essence Transfer to move his soul to a clone on the hidden planet of Exegol. Here he commanded the Ruins of the Empire.

He used Messenger Droids to contact his most loyal Officers around the galaxy, telling them to retreat into the Unknown Regions.

5 months later in early 1 ABE he sent his apprentice Galen Marek to find the body of the Grand Inquisitor on Mustafar, this was so he could fuse his blood with the body of a of himself to create Snoke.

When Marek betrayed him he used Super Force Lightning on him.

The Final Order
'' 'At last the work of generations is complete. The great error is corrected. The day of victory is at hand. The day of revenge. The day of the Sith''' Palpatine's Speech to the Galaxy in 31 ABE

In 31 Palpatine broadcasted a message to the people of the galaxy. This caused Kylo Ren to search for Darth Vader's Sith Wayfinder to get Exegol. When Ren arrived on Exegol he discovered the clone of Palpatine, who revealed Snoke's background and the Final Order Fleet. He also revealed Rey's ancestry.

Later, Rey and Ben returned and confronted The Emperor, but had their energy sucked out to return Palpatine to his true body, he threw Ben down a pit and used Force Lightning on Rey. Then the spirits of the Jedi spoke to her and she obliterated Palpatine.

Episode X???
There are rumours that Palpatine may make some sort of appearance in Star Wars X: The Dark Star.
