Huvah Jeddigar is the director of the Darkstars. He answers directly to the Controllers.

Although Jeddigar answered to the Controllers, he held complete control over the Darkstars, calling every order, even when the Controllers advised against it. His independent authority grew to be a threat to the Controllers, but they decided to keep him in charge to prevent a confrontation.[1]

When the Maltusian gods known as the Triarch started ravaging Maltus, the Controllers ordered him and the Darkstars not to oppose them, and prevent anyone else from stopping the Triarch. According to Maltusian prophecies, any interference would lead to even greater misfortune to the universe. Even though he disagreed, Jeddigar decided to bow to their wishes.[2]

Huvah Jeddigar was also carrying out some secret research involving cosmic energies and parallel universes. The Darkstar Merayn Dethalis discovered the NEMO operatives doing these experiments and brought the contained black hole she confiscated from them to Jeddigar. Jeddigar accused her of stealing a "weapon," and ordered all Darkstars to apprehend her. When Merayn took refuge on Earth, Ferrin Colos discovered Jeddigar was using them to hide his real plans:[3] to replace the current universe with a new one of his own design, free of the Controller's authority.[4] Deeming Colos a threat to his schemes, Jeddigar accused him of betraying the Darkstars and demoted him from the organization, appointing the Earther Donna Troy as his replacement.[5]

However, things backfired, and Colos convinced a bunch of Darkstars to rebel against Jeddigar. Even though Jeddigar used a fail-safe device that rendered all Darkstar Exo-Suits powerless, Colos forced the director to retreat, using his last-resort escape route to his parallel universe.[6] While the rest of the universe presumed them dead, Jeddigar and Colos kept battling in that parallel dimension. Their local counterparts were completely opposites from each other: Colos was the tyrant ruler of the Darkstars, and Huvah was a rebel who opposed the regime. Jeddigar sought help from the tyrants, while Colos joined the rebellion. Both armed with powerful Exo-Mantle prototypes, their fight moved on to the mining planet where the Jenuwynians of Colos' universe were kept as slaves. During their last battle, Colos overloaded Jeddigar's suit, causing it to explode and kill its user.[7]
