"An hour ago, the Minister of Intelligence dropped to his knees and wept before me. You would do so, too, if not for fear of being humiliated." —Darth Jadus to Keeper (Star Wars: The Old Republic)
Darth Jadus is undoubtedly my favorite Sith Lord from the Star Wars: The Old Republic era. He's brilliant, powerful, and just sounds cool! Unfortunately, Darth Jadus doesn't have many showings, and is sometimes referred to as an unknown by people I know. With that in mind, I decided to compile all of Darth Jadus' showings in this thread. Respect Darth Jadus! I hope you enjoy the thread, thanks for reading!

Accolades
Darth Jadus is considered to be a brilliant Sith Lord with long term goals and plans:
"You really don't understand. Lord Jadus must have made preparations for his death. He was power, and fire and brilliance. The instant the master died, I promise—his contingency plans went into action. They'll bring doom to everything Lord Jadus ever touched… and I want no part of it."
―Vyord Yanol (Star Wars: The Old Republic)
"Darth Jadus is reclusive and enigmatic, even among the Sith. He is cold, seething, and brilliant, and of all the members of the Dark Council is the least prone to rage, to laugh, to show any sign of the passions that fuel the dark side."
—Star Wars: The Old Republic Website
"There can be no doubt that Jadus is playing a long game, and the other Dark Lords observe him warily. Until he makes a move, however, there’s little to be done."

"In the Emperor's absence, the galaxy's most domineering, powerful, brilliant, and cunning Sith lead the Empire's path to glory."
―Star Wars: The Old Republic Encyclopedia
"While the undying Emperor serves as the unquestioned leader of the Empire, the twelve members of the Dark Council oversee the daily workings of their vast civilization and speak in the Emperor’s name. Each is among the most powerful Sith in the galaxy; to hold a seat on the council is the highest honor and the greatest position of influence a Sith can attain."

Force Corruption is an Alter ability that allows the user to taint and corrupt people and the environment with the overwhelming power of the dark side.
Darth Jadus can purge or taint anything not of the dark side within people:
"Come. Stand before me, and revel in the power of the Dark Council. Allow your body to betray you. Allow your blood to boil, and your heart to slow. Everything that is not of the dark side will be purged—or it will be tainted."
—Darth Jadus (Star Wars: The Old Republic)
Mere exposure to Darth Jadus results in pain and suffering for those around him:
“Now I am asking you-humbly-to leave. These people are suffering in your presence.”
—Keeper (Star Wars: The Old Republic)

Force Lightning is the manifestation of the dark side in bolts of lightning. Depending on the amount of energy applied, Force Lightning can be used to torture, incapacitate, and even kill the user's victim.

Mind Domination
Mind Domination is an advanced form of the Mind Trick. It is most often used by Sith Lords to supplant a subject's will and manipulate them to their will. Advanced applications can drive subjects to insanity.
Darth Jadus can use the Force to mentally enslave his subjects:
“I have remade the pitiful creatures around you into my image.”
—Darth Jadus (Star Wars: The Old Republic)

“I believed in the master’s vision. He showed us his new world… transformed us…”
—Crazed Prisoner Leader (Star Wars: The Old Republic)
Darth Jadus was terrorizing and slowly enslaving the passengers on his ship:

—Ri Farrona(Star Wars: The Old Republic)

—Keeper (Star Wars: The Old Republic)
Cipher Nine, one of the Empire's greatest champions who would later be linked to the deaths of Revan, Darth Malgus, and the Dread Masters, had little hope of defeating Darth Jadus in a direct fight:
