Xendor

Xendor was a Kashi Mer Jedi Knight around the time of the First Great Schism, and was also believed to be the first Dark Jedi.

Biography
Xendor was born on Kashi. It is conceivable that there is a connection between Xendor and the Kashi Mer Dynasty's elite Royale Macheteros, (who used the Jar'Kai technique that Xendor used), and/or the Guardians of Breath, (a Kashi Mer Force organization), though these are just speculations. He was forced into exile when Kashi's sun went supernova and destroyed the planet.

The Force was strong with Xendor, but unfortunately he used that power for evil. He used the Bogan (dark side of the Force) to reinforce his Jar'Kai techniques in combat, (presumably with the aid of the Kashi Mer talisman, which he came to possess), causing him to be exiled by the Jedi Order. After being banished, he founded the Legions of Lettow, a group of other dark-siders, being the supreme general and the leader of the Legions, resulting in their informal nickname as the Minions of Xendor. Xendor was believed killed by the Jedi Order, and leadership of his Minions was briefly picked up by his lover and master of Teräs Käsi, Arden Lyn.

Xendor's successors later conquered the Sith species, becoming the Sith Lords. As the first Dark Jedi, Xendor was the predecessor of the Dark Lords of the Sith, and was sometimes counted as the honorary first; although since the first Sith Empire was formed in 6,900 BBY (18,000 standard years after his death), he was never technically a Sith Lord. However, because of his beliefs and teachings he did play a fundamental role in the formation of the Sith Order.

During the time of Darth Ruin's New Sith Empire some 23,000 years later, it was believed that Xendor's ghost returned in the form of the Dark Underlord to lead the Sith, thus annulling the injustice that the father of the Sith Order was never himself a Sith during his first lifetime by becoming one in his second lifetime. However, this stands as just a legend as the true identity of the Dark Underlord is not yet known.
