Darth Andeddu

Darth Andeddu was a Sith Lord who created a holocron with the knowledge he possessed, and was buried with it on the Sith tomb world of Korriban.

Biography
According to legend, at some point Andeddu's body died, but he used the Force to keep controlling it, even though it had already begun decaying. Lost in the annals of Sith history for many years, his holocron was recovered by Quinlan Vos and Tol Skorr sixteen months after the Battle of Geonosis as they attempted to gain favor with Count Dooku. After extracting the knowledge stored in the holocron, Dooku disassembled the artifact and removed a deep red crystal used in Darth Andeddu's lightsaber. Dooku gifted the ancient crystal to Vos and then ordered him to Coruscant to assassinate Senator Viento.

In 137 ABY, Darth Krayt activated his holocron on Korriban (along with those of Darth Nihilus and Darth Bane) to seek advice on how to end the corruption of his body by the Yuuzhan Vong life. Andeddu rebuked him.

Behind the scenes

 * If he was a member of the ancient Sith Empire, and thus predating Revan and Malak, Darth Andeddu may well be the source of the name Darth. However to date nothing is known about that person or even the timeframe he lived as it is a constant element of retcon: first Darth Bane, then Darth Revan, now with the Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic comics establishing that the title of "Darth" existed before Revan and Malak assumed the mantle.
 * Since most known Darths have meaningful names, Andeddu resembles the word 'undead,' which fits the state he was supposed to live in.
 * According to Leland Chee, Lucasfilm Ltd. has "plans" for Andeddu. This possibly referred to either his appearance in Legacy, or the October 2006 official website poll, "With Darth Bane and Darth Plagueis getting novels, which of these Sith Lords would you like to see explored in books?" Andeddu won with 45% of the vote (beating out Darth Vectivus, Freedon Nadd, Darth Sion, and Darth Nihilus).
