"You'll have to kill me first. And while my son is still an acolyte, I am fully Sith."
―Cellvanta Grathan, to Darth Baras's apprentice[2]

Cellvanta Grathan was a Human female Sith who was the wife of the rebel Sith Lord Grathan of the reconstituted Sith Empire and mother of Beelzlit Grathan.

Biography

"I married Lord Grathan for power. It was a means to an end--now I want out. I'm strong, but can't touch my husband. How long I've waited for someone to end his oppressive rule."
―Cellvanta Grathan, to Darth Baras's apprentice[2]

In 3643 BBY,[1] she lived in her husband's estate on Dromund Kaas where she remained with her son until the arrival of Darth Baras' apprentice, who was sent to kill her son, Beelzlit. Cellvanta attempted to protect her son from the Sith and quickly told him to run, but Beelzlit fought to protect her instead. The mother and son engaged the Sith Warrior in a fight but were easily defeated.[2]

This section of the article assumes that the player chooses only "dark side" options in the course of the game. Alternate stories are noted in the "Behind the scenes" section. Note: The events in this section may or may not have been confirmed as canon within the Star Wars Legends continuity.

Badly beaten, Cellvanta begged for mercy pleading to know what she or her son had done wrong. Realizing that her husband had gotten both her and her son Beelzlit into the whole Sith affair due to both his political dealings, she tried to bargain with the Apprentice. Hoping to save her son, she offered the Sith Warrior her husband, Lord Grathan's, life in exchange for Beelzlit's. The Sith Warrior refused her offer and chose to kill them both. Cellvanta quickly told her son again to run, but Beelzlit chose to remain behind and die alongside her. Cellvanta was stabbed by the Sith Warrior before she could do anything more.[2]

Assumption ends here.

Behind the scenes

If Cellvanta is spared for a light side option, she convinces the Sith Warrior to kill her husband and allow her son to take his place. If the Sith Warrior is male, after he kills Grathan, she offers the Sith apprentice the chance to become "intimate".[2] She later sends a gift to the Sith Warrior through Ralesk, her former husband's top assassin. Possibly unknown to her, her son also tasked him with silencing them, so his secret identity would remain a secret. Ralesk fails in his attempt, being defeated by the Sith Warrior, both intents remaining unaccomplished.

  1. ↑ 1.0 1.1 SWTOR mini STAR WARS: The Old Republic - Question ! :) - Page 3 on The Old Republic's official website (backup link) places Star Wars: The Old Republic about ten to twelve years after the signing of the Treaty of Coruscant, which is dated to 3653 BBY by Star Wars: The Old Republic Encyclopedia. The Old Republic — The Lost Suns 2 takes place ten years after the treaty, one week after the mission to Nar Shaddaa, and around the time of the SpecForce Incident. Since the mission and the incident are respectively part of Act I of the Jedi Knight and Republic Trooper's storylines, and the Trooper's Act I occurs concurrent to Act I of the Smuggler storyline, the general events of the Prologue and Act I for all classes can be assumed to occur in 3643 BBY.
