Emperor Palpatine; Chancellor Palpatine, was...is a Sith Lord that hid in full view of the Jedi Council. [Adele keeps her voice level, but not without an undercurrent of gentleness. This could not be easy to hear, easy to bear, and she wasn't truly certain she had any right to offer commentary. But it needed to be said.

He is powerful, Anakin. Charismatic. More than able to make himself appear trustworthy to anyone, and as you said. You looked to him as you would your father. He placed himself in a position where he would be able to influence you however he wished...and he wished for you to become that which Luke remembers. [That which Obi-wan faced, but that. That was not hers to tell.]
