―Dathan, to Rey
Dathan, also known to the Sith Eternal as "the Abomination," was a human male hybrid strandcast genetically engineered by Sith cultists on the planet Exegol in 12 BBY. The Sith cult utilized the template of Darth Sidious—the Dark Lord of the Sith and Emperor of the Galactic Empire—to create cloned vessels for the preservation of his essence. The strandcast who became known as Dathan was a byproduct of the cult's experiments, however he lacked a strong connection to the Force, despite his genetic connection to Sidious, and thus was deemed a failed experiment by his "father." Although Dathan was treated by Sidious with disdain for his powerless nature—being referred to as a "useless creature"—the excellent health he possessed nevertheless made him permitted to live as a means for continuing the Palpatine bloodline.
For his father's neglect, Dathan ultimately rejected him and the ways of the Sith in a similar fashion by escaping from his homeworld, intent on pursuing a life away from the dark side of the Force. He eventually married a woman named Miramir, who gave birth to their daughter Rey in 15 ABY. Unlike Dathan, Rey was strong with the Force, and so was deemed a viable host for her grandfather's essence. Determined to claim his granddaughter at all costs, Sidious sent the assassin Ochi of Bestoon to find and bring Rey to Exegol.
Origins
"Using a technique known as Strand-Casting, countless modified clone bodies were produced from my genetic template. All but one of them were utter failures." ―Darth Sidious Little was known about the life of Dathan, but his origins could be traced back to the Imperial Era when the Dark Lord of the Sith Darth Sidious—publicly known as Galactic Emperor Sheev Palpatine— and his followers experimented with cloning on the planet Exegol for several years prior to the Sith Lord's demise at the Battle of Endor. Secure in power as Emperor, Sidious withdrew from the public eye and began to probe the secrets of the dark side of the Force. In his quest for immortality, the Sith Lord and his followers experimented with cloning technology to extend his lifespan and sustain it indefinitely. The Sith Eternal utilized a method of cloning known as Strand-Casting in addition to modified cloning technology, producing countless modified cloned bodies of Sidious' original body in the attempt to give him a vessel worthy of containing and preserving his essence, so he could ultimately obtain immortality.
Early life
"Your father was the son of the Emperor." ―Kylo Ren, to Rey The son of Darth Sidious was created in 12 BBY on Exegol. An unnamed hybrid strandcast, the infant boy was a result of the Sith Eternal's efforts to produce a body worthy of his vast power, but the only survivor of the cloning process, so was the main byproduct of Sidious' genetic research. However, he would prove to be nothing but a source of disappointment for the man who sired him through science. Despite having the blood of the Palpatine family, he was devoid of any strength in the Force, unable to harness its abilities like his donor, who reveled in such capabilities. Sidious ultimately rejected the "inferior" child spawned from his flesh; Though the Sith Lord did recognize their blood connection to each other, indeed acknowledging his own status as the boy's "father" and the failed clone as his "son", he nonetheless saw the strandcast as a "useless creature"—referring to his son as "it"—and shunning him. However, despite being powerless and deemed a failure the strandcast's health afforded Sidious with other potential uses for him. Surmising that his cloned progeny having the Palpatine bloodline within him, regardless of not possessing a sensitive connection to the Force, might one day prove useful, Sidious permitted his genetic offspring to survive. The strandcast's health afforded the Emperor the means to continue on and preserve his bloodline, and potentially yield more favorable results in producing a vessel worthy of containing his spirit through more natural means.
Father of Rey
"They were nobody." "They were filthy junk traders who sold you off for drinking money." ―Rey and Kylo Ren In addition to rejecting Sidious, Dathan married a woman named Miramir, whom he fell in love with. Together, they conceived a child, their daughter Rey, who was born in 15 ABY. Although he renounced the Sith Eternal and his donor, the Palpatine bloodline would prosper through him, just as Sidious predicted. While Sidious had not anticipated Dathan's relationship with Miramir, he nonetheless saw it as an opportunity because his granddaughter, unlike his clone, inherited his connection to the Force. Rey was therefore deemed the perfect vessel for her grandfather's essence. Dathan eventually settled with his family on Jakku, a backwater world where Rey's parents struggled to survive as junk traders and moisture farmers. Despite his efforts to stay hidden from his father's agents, they eventually tracked the clone and his family to Jakku. Following the Sith assassin Ochi's hunt for them, Dathan and his wife stole Ochi's starship, the Bestoon Legacy, to return to Jakku; the threat of discovery compelled Rey's parents to leave her with Unkar Plutt. As reluctant as they were to leave Rey behind, they did so to protect her from Sidious. As they bid their goodbyes, Dathan also noticed as Miramir took a necklace of Aki-Aki beads from Plutt, which she stated would be their insurance.
"Subject three, human male, thirty-three standard years of age. DNA analysis reveals several markers characteristic of artificial replication and engineering."
"He's a clone?"
"Subject three lacks genetic signatures of accelerated growth. He is thirty-three standard years of age, but analysis shows he is a hybrid strandcast."
―Unidentified protocol droid and Zargo Anaximander
Dathan was genetically a human male; a hybrid strandcast that was the produced as the offshoot of the Darth Sidious' follower's cloning experiments with donated blood cells and other tissue samples. Though a modified specimen created from the Sith Lord's genetic template through the Strand-Casting method, Dathan was not a direct clone replicate of his donor, therefore not quite identical in appearance to Sidous either. The son of the Emperor had short, dark hair, blue eyes, and light skin. He was young when he became a father, and had a scruffy red beard by the time he lived on Jakku.
Though he was cloned from the Sith Lord who masterminded the fall of the Galactic Republic and ruled the Galactic Empire through fear, the strandcast sought to live as an ordinary man with his family; he rejected his father and the ways of the Sith, and pursued a life apart from darkness. Having inherited neither his progenitor's power nor his character, he was regarded by Sidious as a powerless and useless disappointment. Despite the harsh conditions of Jakku, he took on the difficult life of surviving in a desert environment in order to keep Rey hidden from her grandfather. Dathan was haunted by his past, and revisited his time on Exegol in his nightmares, truly not looking back on his time on his homeworld very fondly. He also loved his wife very deeply, and fondly remembered his time with her on her own homeworld. Like his wife, he was saddened by their decision as parents to sell their daughter. Before leaving Rey with Unkar Plutt, Rey's father promised that she would be safe on Jakku.
"The lone subject that survived the cloning process lacked any connection to the Force."
―Darth Sidious
Despite being created from the base genetic template of Darth Sidious, one of the most powerful Sith Lords to have ever lived, the Emperor's son was an ordinary man who had no ability to harness the powers of the Force. However, as Dathan was part of the Palpatine bloodline and in excellent health, he was able to sire a Force-sensitive child with strength in the mystical energy comparable to the Emperor.
Dathan was physically strong enough to survive the harsh conditions of the desert planet Jakku, and was skilled enough with his wife Miramir to keep himself and their child hidden from Sidious for years until being found by Ochi of Bestoon.
"So, this is a deep, secret, magic in-depth look at the writing process: I had a friend at school called Dathan. And I just thought it was a cool name. I think it's a more common name in the States, but I wanted something that was not super common, but also like an earthy name. Star Wars is that magical thing where there's a mix of kind of strange alien names and then you've got Luke and Ben. And when you dig into the books and the comics, you find even more examples."
―Adam Christopher
Dathan was first mentioned, albeit indirectly, in the 2015 film Star Wars: Episode VII The Force Awakens, the first installment of the Star Wars sequel trilogy. He first appeared in a flashback sequence of the 2019 film Star Wars: Episode IX The Rise of Skywalker, where he was portrayed by Billy Howle.
In Star Wars Legends, Emperor Palpatine also had experimented with cloning himself, to which he intended to transfer his spirit. In another work, he also had a son named Triclops, who first appeared in the 1993 book Mission from Mount Yoda, the fourth installment of the young-readers Jedi Prince series written by Paul and Hollace Davids. Similarly to Dathan, Triclops also conceived a child with a woman, and that child became an apprentice of Luke Skywalker as well.

Triclops was a Human mutant slave who claimed to be the son of Emperor Palpatine.[3] It is possible that this relation may not have been in a strict biological sense, and that Triclops was the implementation of Darth Plagueis's experiments in the influence of midi-chlorians, with the goal of creating a zygote solely through the use of the Force in a fertile humanoid female. Triclops was a ...
