Darth Sidious

Darth Sidious is the Sith Lord identity of Palpatine, the central villain of the Star Wars film saga.

He manipulates galactic politics while secretly orchestrating the destruction of the Jedi Order, eventually declaring himself Emperor.

The name has become shorthand for a scheming figure who hides malevolent ambitions behind a respectable public persona: He's the Darth Sidious of the boardroom.
