Legend

this was the name adopted by former Jedi Master Kreia, when she turned to the Dark Side of the Force and joined the Sith, in the wake of the Mandalorian Wars. She didn't reveal her true self until after the Jedi Civil War, when she chose to adopt her former name in order to locate The Exile. After Kreia was exiled from the Jedi Order, she traveled to Malachor V to locate Revan. Once there, she trained at the Trayus Academy, and eventually became Darth Traya. She chose two of her students, Darth Sion and Darth Nihilus, to form the base of power for the Sith on Malachor V, although they did not hold to her belief that a true Sith needed to understand the Light Side of the Force to be truly powerful. Historians believed that she was either exiled by her former students or betrayed by them, forcing her to set out on her own. She was able to sense the presence of her former student, The Exile, and discerned that he might be one of the last of the Jedi. She set out to locate him, and was forced to fight past Darth Sion in order to retrieve him at Peragus II. During the subsequent battles she fought with The Exile, Darth Traya maintained her appearance as Jedi Master Kreia, although she often let small suggestions of her true self come out in her actions. After The Exile traveled to Onderon and defeated General Vaklu and Tobin, Kreia realized that her "pupil" was now growing in strength, and would become a threat to her triumverate of power. She tried to kill him on Dantooine, where the surviving Jedi Masters had gathered, but was forced to flee before she could make sure that he was dead. Darth Traya returned to Malachor V and began to prepare to defeat her student. After the deaths of Darth Nihilus and Darth Sion, Darth Traya was the only surviving member of her order, and she was prepared to fight The Exile to the death. In the battle, she nearly fell to the younger man, but managed to use the Dark Side of the Force to fling three lightsabers at him. Forced to deal with this threat, The Exile lost sight of Darth Traya briefly, but defeated her lightsabers and returned to confront her. Defenseless without her lightsabers, she was unable to stop his advance. Before he killed her, The Exile demanded that she tell him something of the future, in an effort to decide what he should do next.
