Sith Lord

Jedi's dark counterpart

A Sith Lord is a master practitioner of the dark side of the Force in the Star Wars universe—the villainous counterpart to a Jedi.

Sith Lords wield red lightsabers and embrace anger, hatred, and ambition as sources of power.

The title has become shorthand for any malevolent authority figure: My boss is basically a Sith Lord.
