Sith battlelords were leaders within Rivan's armies and, through a series of complex rituals involving the application of Sith magic, were bonded to the troops they commanded via the Force. The Sith battlelords, also known as Battlelords, were a class of warrior who served the Sith Lord Darth Rivan during the New Sith Wars. ' These warriors, the Sith Battlelords, were fearsome and hardy, having demonstrated a willingness to die for the Sith in an attempt to curry favor and enhance their own power.' ―The Jedi publication Speculations on Tactics of the Sith
