Syndor was a male Sith who served as the captain of the frigate Winged Dagger in the Lost Tribe of Sith's armada. In 44 ABY he was under the command of High Lord Sarasu Taalon, who had allied with Jedi Grand Master Luke Skywalker for a mission to defeat the dark side being Abeloth&mdash;although the Sith actually intended to betray Skywalker and force Abeloth to serve them. During the mission, Syndor's command of the ship was transferred by Taalon to the Sith Leeha Faal, whom he gave orders to raid a sacred fountain on Klatooine&mdash;orders which Faal relayed to the frigate Starstalker to carry out.

The raid was successful, but both vessels were captured by the Hutts, who were bound to protect the fountain. Because the Winged Dagger had not actually assisted in the assault, however, Syndor, Faal, and the rest of the ship's crew were allowed to go free. The fleet eventually proceeded to Abeloth's planet in the Maw, where Skywalker, Faal, Taalon, and Saber Gavar Khai separated their minds from their bodies to travel beyond shadows in hopes of locating Abeloth. Faal died there, however, and aboard the Winged Dagger, her brain activity ceased. Sumar reported the turn of events to Syndor, who was then reinstated by default as commander of the vessel. He ordered the crew to remove Faal from life support and await further orders from Taalon. The Sith and Jedi eventually found Abeloth, but the Sith's betrayal failed and Skywalker defeated the dark side entity. The Sith fleet was then ordered to leave the planet.
