Sheev Palpatine

Supposedly born on Naboo, reliable records of Palpatine's past were hard to come by, but he somehow managed to become Naboo's representative in the Galactic Senate. His real identity was that of Darth Sidious, having been trained in the ways of the Sith by the Sith Lord Darth Plagueis. As he slowly rose through the ranks of intergalactic politics, Palpatine orchestrated the war between the CIS and the Republic, using various Sith apprentices as pawns, such as Darth Maul and Darth Tyranus. His master plan concluded with the scourge of the Jedi Order and proclaiming himself Emperor, and turning Anakin Skywalker into the Sith Lord Darth Vader.
