a misspelling of Darth Vader.
If your first foray into Star Wars was a children's book, you probably had never heard "darth" before and may have thought the author made a typo.

*kid watches Star Wars*
Ben: ... Darth Vader, who was a pupil of mine until he turned to evil...
Kid: WTF does "darth" mean?
