XoXaan was a humanoid female Dark Jedi who, along with others such as Karness Muur, was exiled from the Jedi Order following the Hundred Year Darkness. After a battle on the Outer Rim world of Corbos, XoXaan was among the Jedi who abandoned the Republic and traveled to Korriban, where they found the original Sith species. XoXaan and her fellow Dark Jedi enslaved the natives, christened themselves the first of the Sith Lords, and instituted a new order that centered around worship and practice of the dark side of the Force.

Though other Sith Lords possessed similar talents, XoXaan was noted amongst her peers for her skills in dark side healing. She recorded her knowledge in a holocron, which was entombed with her in Korriban's Valley of the Dark Lords. Her spirit waited millennia for someone to come along whom she felt was worthy of her Sith teachings. XoXaan's spirit found one such student in the ex-Jedi A'Sharad Hett. From her holocron, Hett learned the ways of the dark side, and eventually created a new Sith Order based on XoXaan's teachings. After Hett assumed the mantle of Dark Lord of the Sith under the moniker Darth Krayt, he constructed a massive statue in reverence of XoXaan&mdash;who was considered his first and greatest Sith teacher&mdash;within the Temple of the Sith on the planet Coruscant. After his death during the battle of Had Abbadon, Darth Krayt's body was taken to XoXaan's temple on Korriban, where he first embraced the ways of the Sith. It would serve as the place of his final interment.
