The Father

"I am neither sith, nor Jedi. I am much more, and so are you."

-The Father

The Father was a male being descended from the celestial named Yeva who was part of The Ones, a family of powerful Force-users on Mortis during the Clone Wars. When the Jedi Obi-Wan Kenobi, Anakin Skywalker, and Ahsoka Tano visited the planet, the Father attempted to stop a confrontation between his children, the Son and Daughter. While attempting to keep peace between them, the Daughter was impaled by the Son, who had the Dagger of Mortis found in the Altar of Mortis. She sacrificed herself to save the Father, bringing unbalance to the Force. With a final confrontation about to be set between the Jedi and the Son, Father decided it was best to remove himself from reality by taking the Dagger away from his Son and stabbing himself with it. By doing this, he removed all power from his Son and Skywalker took the chance and impaled the Son with his lightsaber.

Biography
Prior to the Clone Wars, during the age of the old republic, The Father and another being named The Mother produced together two children named only Son and Daughter, who were, like their parents, incredibly powerful with the Force. As these children grew, the Daughter veered towards the light side, and the Son drifted ever closer to the Dark. Fearing a conflict between the two could result in a terrible cataclysm throughout the universe, the Father attemted to use his superior strength and experience in the force to keep the balance between his children. However, after the death of The Mother, The Father decided that the only way to save the universe from the unlimited powers of his children was to remove them and himself from the real universe and settle in another dimension as gods of the force.When Anakin Skywalker approached the Temple of Mortis, the Father offered him a place to stay the night. But when the Son visited Skywalker in the form of his mother that night, he assumed it was the old man. Accusing the Father of being a Sith Lord, Skywalker held his lightsaber to him. Father merely grabbed the blade and deactivated it. He then discussed the matter of the Jedi being the Chosen One. He suggested a test, to which Skywalker agreed. Skywalker would find out that the test was soon. The Son and Daughter had taken Ahsoka Tano and Obi-Wan Kenobi, respectively. Father had ordered them to kill the Jedi Master and Padawan, and told Skywalker to choose who to save. When Skywalker defeated them both, Father declared only he and the Chosen One could control both his children. It was then that Father revealed his true purpose: he wanted Skywalker to replace him. He revealed that he was dying and only the Chosen One could contain his children when he died. Anakin Skywalker refused and Father warned him that his selfishness would haunt him and the galaxy. Nonetheless, Father respected Skywalker's decision and allowed for him to leave Mortis with his companions.

However, the Son boarded their ship while they were in flight, kidnapped Ahsoka Tano, and forced the ship downward. After poisoning her to the dark side, Son returned to his father's side, who became concerned with his immersion into the dark side. Son blasted Father in back with Force lightning, nearly killing him, just as Kenobi arrived to seek the Father's help. Bringing him back inside his temple to recover, Kenobi convinced Daughter to help him stop Son before he could escape Mortis and wreck havoc on the galaxy. Reluctantly, Daughter showed Kenobi the altar of Mortis containing a dagger that could kill Son.

As the battle between light and dark raged, Father awakened and flew to stop the battle between his children, hurling them amongst the Jedi. Son turned his anger against his father, who was unable to prevail against him in his still-weakened state. Obi-Wan Kenobi threw the dagger to Skywalker, but it was snatched by Tano and given to the Son. Having no further use for her, Son killed Tano by snuffing out her life force and prepared to plunge the dagger into his father, but Daughter leapt between them, taking the blow instead. Screaming with sudden anguish, Son fled the scene.

With Daughter dying, the balance of the Force was upset, and the planet began to descend into darkness. Anakin Skywalker refused to leave his Padawan behind, however, and Daughter used Skywalker as a conduit to channel the last of her life force into Tano, bringing her back to life though leaving her with no memory of what had happened. Father implored the Jedi to leave before Son could take their ship to escape the planet, and warned them that with the balance disrupted, the Dark Side and the Sith will gain the upper hand in the galaxy. Unable to do anything else, the three Jedi left the mournful Father by the side of his daughter

Father sealed Daughter into a mausoleum with the dagger resting upon her breast. As soon as he closed her tomb, he was approached by Anakin, who desired help in defeating Son. Father refuses him any aid, fearing that Son would use Skywalker to further tip the balance of the Force. He advised the young Jedi Knight to look inside himself for answers.

As Anakin Skywalker tracked Son to the Well of the Dark Side, he was given a glimpse of his dark future and joined Son to prevent it from happening. Father approached Skywalker while Son flew off to retrieve the Dagger of Mortis. After telling the Jedi that the future is not set in stone, Father erased the vision of Skywalker's future as Darth Vader from his mind and convinced him to help him kill the Son. Father fatally stabbed himself, and the Son showed some remorse, much to Father's relief, having always believed that there was good in him. In the confusion, Skywalker killed the Son with his lightsaber. With his dying breath, Father proclaimed Skywalker the Chosen One, for bringing balance to Mortis, but warned the Jedi that what he has seen (and forgotten) must happen for balance to be restored to the Force in the galaxy. As he died, his body disappeared. With Father's death, Mortis began to fall apart and the Jedi were returned to normal space as if nothing happened.

Personality and traits
The Father was a wise and powerful being who loved both of his children dearly. As a paragon of balance in the Force, the Father, while benevolent, was also quite practical, and was willing to do anything in order to maintain the Force's balance both on Mortis, and in the universe at large. Recognising that he was dying, and that only the legendary Chosen One could replace him as the balance keeper, the Father orchestrated a plan to bring Anakin Skywalker (under the correct assumption that Skywalker was the Chosen One) to Mortis so that he could replace the Father when he died. In order to ensure that Skywalker was the Chosen One, the Father arranged a test where the Jedi Knight would have to control both the Son and the Daughter in order to save his friends. Although it is unknown whether the Father would have allowed Tano's or Kenobi's deaths in the event that he was wrong, that he was willing to test Skywalker in such a way spoke to his wisdom: He had to be absolutely sure that Skywalker was the Chosen One before revealing the purpose of the test, and, indeed, the Father himself, to the Jedi.

The Father's love for his children, although great, did not blind him to the Son's growing corruption by the dark side, and he warned his child against further immersing himself in the dark side. It broke the Father's heart when his daughter was killed defending him from the Son, and it only worsened his grief to accept that in order to preserve the balance while it lasted, the Son had to die. Although the Son resented his father for keeping him trapped on Mortis, the Father always loved him, and wanted desperately to save his son from the dark side, even going as far as to commit suicide to show the Son the error of his ways. The Father's love for his children ultimately led to his death; In his final moments after stabbing himself, he had seemingly saved his beloved son, only to watch him die by Skywalker's hand a moment later.

Powers and abilities
"You cannot imagine what pain it is to have such love for your children... and realize that they could tear the very fabric of our universe" 

The Father, like his children, was an exceptionally powerful being. He was able to touch a lightsaber blade with his bare hand, showing no discomfort, pain, or injury from gripping the blade, and could deactivate the weapon by literally forcing the blade back into its hilt. He was also able to sense that Skywalker had approached him, and was pointing his lightsaber at the Father's face, all without so much as opening his eyes.

Although both of the Father's children were extremely powerful Force-wielders in their own rights, the Father was, for many years, powerful enough to control them both. However, age weakened the Father, and by the time he brought the Jedi to Mortis, he could still muster enough telekinetic power to force apart his battling children, as well as absorb a lightning attack from the Son, but was overcome by a sustained onslaught. In their final confrontation, the Son claimed that the Father had no power to keep him on Mortis, and indeed, the Father did not even attempt to fight his son, instead committing suicide to weaken him.

Despite the Father's advanced age, he still had an impressive command of some esoteric Force powers. After being attacked by the Son, an assault where he had been electrocuted and fallen down a large flight of stairs, the Father was left unconscious for some time, but upon regaining consciousness, he showed no adverse effects from the assault, and was strong enough to fly to the Son's tower and break up the Son and the Daughter's battle. Impressively, the Father was also able to erase a considerable amount of Skywalker's memories, specifically his visions of the future and everything afterward, with a simple tap on the forehead.
