With his charisma and power, the Sith struck back at the Republic and the Jedi Order. Rather than challenge each of the self-proclaimed 'Dark Lords' and threaten the war effort, Kaan acquiesced to their vanity, and named them all 'Dark Lord of the Sith,' and declared 'All are equal in the Brotherhood of Darkness.' But he forbade any Sith to take the historic title of Darth, since he held that title as being solely responsible for the jealousy and infighting that had destroyed the Sith in the past. His idea of cooperation and equality among the Sith Lords was unique in their history. However, Kaan had not lulled all Jedi into a state of ignorance indeed, Jedi Lord Hoth saw Kaan for the threat he was and left Coruscant to gather his own forces.

Still unwilling to see what was growing to become an even worse threat, the Jedi High Council issued congratulatory thanks to Kaan for killing the worst of the Sith warlords during his campaign to amass power. The two most powerful Sith warlords- Kopecz and Qordis-pledged themselves to his cause, and they were followed by others, such as Kas'im, LaTor and Kaox Krul. Sensing that their endless quest for supremacy and power would destroy the Sith, Kaan set about reuniting the various splinter states under his banner, destroying all those who refused to bend the knee until he was in control of the Sith Empire. Declaring himself Dark Lord of the Sith, his supporters referred to him as the 'Dark One.' Īt the time of Kaan's ascent, the Sith Empire had fractured, with dozens of Sith Lords claiming the title of Dark Lord and waging endless campaigns against each other, rather than uniting to bring down the ailing Republic. Seeing the High Council as overbearing, Kaan led a group of loyal Knights away from Coruscant and formed the Brotherhood of Darkness in 1010 BBY. In an effort to moderate Kaan's extremist views, the High Council awarded him the title of Jedi Master. Having perfected the art of battle meditation, Jedi Kaan was considered a valuable asset by the High Council, despite his radical belief that the Republic and the Jedi were responsible for the anarchy which plagued the galaxy.

Sophisticated and knowledgeable of economic policy and fleet command, Kaan became a Jedi Knight and a beacon for hope among members of the Jedi High Council who hoped to finally destroy the reformed Sith Empire which had been plaguing the Galactic Republic for nearly a millennium. Now they will truly know and fear the Brotherhood.' ―Skere Kaan Ī Force-sensitive Human from Coruscant born during the Republic Dark Age, Skere Kaan was born a commoner before being discovered by the Jedi Order and training in the ways of the Force at the Jedi Temple.
