Picture

Is there actually an image of Qordis out there? -- SFH 16:23, 23 March 2006 (UTC)

  • No there's not, unless he's on the cover of Darth Bane: Path of Destruction. He's not on the introductory picture for Bane of the Sith, that's just a picture of Bane suffering an orbalisk attack and looking at a holocron. Cull Tremayne 06:39, 23 September 2006 (UTC)
    • We need some quotes and more info here.
      • I've got PoD and JvS, and he's not there. He's probably one of the unnamed Sith seen at the meeting with Kaan, or one of the Sith doing Bane's ritual. Telos 05:11, 10 June 2007 (UTC)
        • There is a Sith at Bane's ritual that looks just like Pernicar, and it fits the descriptions of Qordis in PoD. Telos 04:41, 6 July 2007 (UTC)

I could draw one. LightsideLuke (talk) 15:09, December 7, 2014 (UTC)

Race

Is Qordis of any known race? I read the description of his apperance in Path of destruction all the time but I still can't seem to identify his race, the discription of his apperance is "He might have been human, but something about his apperance seemed off. His skin was an unnatrual, chalky hue, made even more obvious by the glittering gems encrusting the many rings on his long fingers. His eyes were dark and sunken. His teeth were sharp and pointed, and his fingernails were curved and wicked talons". That isn't a description of any race I know of. Destroyer Droid 22:43, 4 August 2007 (UTC)

Human... i'm not sure if we can write him off as that so quickly. Just one weird quirk for something that looks human can mean their not human, like a Mirlukia's eyelessness, or a Chiss's blue skin. Destroyer Droid 03:08, 5 August 2007 (UTC)

There are errors when you combine Bane of the Sith, Jedi vs. Sith, and Darth Bane: Path of Destruction, currently I think it would be wrong to just look at one book and say that it was the ultimate overriding canon, unless one of the writers said it was the overriding canon. Destroyer Droid 17:56, 5 August 2007 (UTC)

  • Considering his species is not mentioned elsewhere, it's not overriding anything. Hence, he's human. QuentinGeorge 21:05, 5 August 2007 (UTC)

The source I mentioned casts doubt into the concept of him being human. Of course, if your so sure that Bane of the Sith overrules Darth Bane: Path of Destruction why not go to the article and change "humanoid" to "human". Destroyer Droid 00:49, 6 August 2007 (UTC)

From the descriptions of Qordis, given in Darth Bane: Path of Destruction, the only species I can conclude that he was is Umbaran. Some of the differences that separate Umbarans from Humans being: no hair, chalky/pale skin, sunken eyes, they can see in ultraviolet light, etc. This is not so far-fetched an idea when you consider the instigator of the New Sith Wars, Darth Ruin, who also was an Umbaran.--Master Dakari 01:31, 26 November 2007 (UTC)

  • He's got hair, so your theory falls apart quite easily. QuentinGeorge 01:54, 26 November 2007 (UTC)
  • Okay, I just changed it back to human again. He's described as human on the very first page of Path Of Destruction, I don't see how there can even be a controversy over this. InSaneWeTrust 03:45, 9 April 2008 (UTC)
  • Let's see. no hair, chalky/pale skin, sunken eyes... Sounds to me like some people are forgetting the effects of Dark Side Corruption.

If the above characteristics make Qordis an Umbaran or Utapuan, then I guess that makes Sidious one of those as well. ;) --The truth hurts... 20:43, 23 May 2008 (UTC)

Personality

I've added a section and corrected part of the Legacy section - Qordis caused the Bane to damage his ship, he didn't actually do anything to it.

race

hi i'm new and i think i can help resolve the matter of race. he could, in fact, be an umbaran, due to the fact that the Senator or Umbara during the clone wars, Mee Deechi, had hair. you can plainly see it. also, books have been wrong before. look at the revenge of the sith visual dictionary. it put a pcture of ongree jedi master coleman kcaj with vurk senator sweitt concorkill's name! books are disputable, you have to look at facts. I see no reason why he could not be Umbaran or Human. Umbarans have sunken eyes, pale skin, and some have hair. then again, he could be a warped Human, transformed by the dark side. I say we put the species as Ambiguous (Humanoid)

alright. i give up. i still think he should be Umbaran. (ps that is a little partial, as i really like Umbarans, but proof could still point to at least maybe partial Umbaran (like Aurra sing, half human half something else)) but we can call him Human. or what if we call him Human (possibly)?

3.3 Factual correction

I do have a concern on this topic. It says Qordis is the Founder of the Sith Academy, but that is erroneous without expounding on WHICH Sith Academy. If he died 1000BBY, then he couldn't have found the Sith Academy that canonically existed in 4000BBY and earlier during the Revanchist Era. If it is to be noted that Qordis did in fact found a Sith Academy, it should be clarified if it was the same Sith Academy on Korriban in Dreshdae in the Valley of the Sith Lords, or in another location on the planet. The original Sith Academy founded around 4000BBY was during a time when isolated communities of Massassi existed, leading me to believe that other developed regions might exist on Korriban that might have been re-inhabited later on after the remaining Sith species on Korriban finally died out. I haven't read any novels involving Qordis, but I came across this article and 1000BBY would mean a resettlement of the preexisting Academy.
