Who Was Palpatine’s Favourite Sith Lord?

Palpatine saw himself as the pinnacle of the Sith Order, declaring himself the Sith’ari, the Sith version of the Chosen One. But Palpatine actually had a few role models who he admired. Palpatine was said to deeply admire Emperor Vitiates's empire, modeling much of his own Empire off of it. However, Palpatine seemed to have the biggest soft spot for Darth Malgus who he believed was the perfect role model for Darth Vader. Not only was he a cunning warrior who brought the Jedi Order to its knees, he also killed his own wife for reasons explained in this video, with Palpatine believing Vader could use this as inspiration so that he could get over his grief for Padme.
