Giles Deathstalker

 Giles Deathstalker  was the founder of the Deathstalker Clan. He once was the first warrior of the legendary First Empire under emperor Ethur until he had an affair with Ethur's wife, Hermione. He tried to re-establish himself by taking care of some rebellious planets. He used the Darkvoid Device and inadvertently destroyed hundreds of stars and inhabited worlds, which made him officially the greatest mass murderer in the history of humankind. He fled the empire and put himself into stasis for 940 years until he was woken up by Owen and his companions. He joined the Great Rebellion and became one of its leaders. Giles is described as a tall man with many muscles and the appearance of a mercenary. He is dressed in furs and he wears a long sword and a projectile weapon.

The character of Giles is also briefly seen in the Simon R. Green novel "Daemons Are Forever," in which it is revealed that he is a distant descendant of the Drood family, and is briefly pulled into the past to help fight.
