In the original trilogy, Palpatine is depicted as the Emperor of the Galactic Empire and the master of Darth Vader.
There can be little doubt that Darth Sidious mentored Anakin Skywalker to become Darth Vader and helped shape his personal philosophy as a Sith Lord.
Turns out — as many have suspected — this was a low-key revelation that Palps is Anakin's daddy. And the new comic book proves it. The new-ish comic book issue, Darth Vader #25, features a flashback scene in which Anakin is able to relive certain parts of his life, including his birth.
Ultimately, Vader proves that he's learned his lesson from Mustafar. At one point, he overpowers Kenobi and uses the Force to rip the ground out from beneath his feet, sending his opponent tumbling below.

In 2017, Marvel released Star Wars: Darth Maul, a 5-issue prequel series centered on Maul before the events of The Phantom Menace. The comic details upon Maul's training under Darth Sidious, and how he was manipulated into hating the Jedi for leading the Sith to near-extinction.
And yet, the final movie, The Rise of Skywalker, had the final word about who Rey really was. As she learned, she was in fact a descendent of Emperor Palpatine, who was her grandfather.

Like his predecessor, Vader was an apprentice who mentored Force-sensitive students despite not holding the rank of Sith Master.
Rey. Rey (portrayed by Daisy Ridley) is the granddaughter of Sheev Palpatine/Darth Sidious through Dathan. Born on the planet Hyperkarn in 15 ABY, as a child in 21 ABY, Rey was abandoned by her parents on the planet Jakku to protect her from Sidious.

In non-canon material it is said that Palpatine had a number of concubines and never took a wife in fear that he would produce a legitimate heir. One of these non-canon concubines was Roganda Ismaren, a former Jedi who survived Order 66, and lived for a time at Palpatine's side.
Luke eventually made Ben one of his first new Jedi apprentices. But Snoke had already turned the boy's heart.
