As the Sith Warrior, Starkiller fought and defeated a Jedi Knight in his vision, only to discover immediately afterward that the opponent was his own father. But unlike the event in the Jedi Temple, he appeared through Starkiller, who saw himself garbed in the same armor that the warrior possessed. The Sith Warrior later resurfaced on the planet Kashyyyk through another Force vision. But as he regained consciousness, the specter declared that Starkiller would never escape him. After a long and brutal duel, Starkiller ultimately emerged victorious. Trapped in an unconscious state during the final phase of the test, Starkiller was confronted by the Sith Warrior. When Starkiller infiltrated the Jedi Temple on Coruscant for a third and final time, his search for further information on his dead father consequently led to his completion of the Jedi Trials.

Aside from being the depiction of Starkiller's "dark side," the Sith Warrior was essentially the culmination of what the Starkiller could have become a Dark Lord of the Sith, encased in a suit of armor painfully grafted to his body, who succeeded Vader as the apprentice of Darth Sidious. A Sith in all but name, Starkiller spent years honing his skills in lightsaber combat and Force techniques as Vader's secret apprentice and personal assassin. The Sith Stalker, also known as the Dark Apprentice, was the incarnation-created through the Force-of the darkness that resided within Starkiller, a young Human male who was secretly trained in the ways of the dark side by the Sith Lord Darth Vader.
