some info gathered from
a Jedi student of Vodo-Siosk Baas on Dantooine, Exar Kun used
Vodo's holocron to learn about the ancient Sith. Exar Kun didn't
like the fact that Vodo, not to mention his fellow students Crado
and Sylvar, were not human, and he continually goaded them.
He nearly killed Sylvar during a lightsaber training exercise, and
she clawed him on the right cheek. Vodo stopped the duel
before someone was killed, and challenged Kun to a duel
between Kun's skill with a lightsaber and Vodo's skill with a
walking stick. Vodo nearly defeated Kun, but Kun snatched
another lightsaber and attacked his Master. Vodo's stick was
broken, and Kun's rage passed as he felt he was victorious. Exar
Kun then left Dantooine to try and obtain the Sith artifacts that
had been found on Onderon. He entered the tomb of Freedon
Nadd and was controlled by Nadd's evil spirit. Nadd led Kun to
Korriban, where Kun discovered a pair of Sith scrolls that
tantalizingly led him further down the path to the Dark Side. Kun
tried to resist, but Nadd nearly killed him before offering
assistance. However, the assistance required Kun to give himself
to the Dark Side. Kun chose to live, and was drawn into the Dark
Side's power. Then, Nadd directed Kun to go to Yavin 4, where
he should complete the work of Naga Sadow. On Yavin 4, Kun
again tried to renounce Nadd's teachings, and was captured by
the Massassi. They tried to sacrifice Kun in a blood ceremony,
during which Nadd's spirit goaded him down the Dark path. Exar
Kun called out to the Dark Side in anger, and a Sith amulet was
drawn to his power. It fused to his arm, and he was suddenly
endowed with the power of the Sith. He took control of the
Massassi, and exterminated Nadd's spirit. As the months went
by, Exar Kun found Naga Sadow's works and began to gain more
and more Sith power. Once he felt that he was powerful enough,
he went to the Empress Teta System to defeat Aleema and Satal
Keto and claim his position as Sith lord. When he arrived, Keto
had already been killed by Ulic Qel-Droma, so Kun tried to defeat
him in battle. The ancient Sith masters were drawn to the pair's
incredible Dark Side power, and halted the battle. They named
Kun the Dark Lord of the Sith, and Qel-Droma his Apprentice.
They went into hiding, and continued to gain power. Kun was
able to lure several young Jedi Knights to his cause, including
Oss Willum and Crado. On Yavin 4, Kun showed them the Sith
holocron, which he destroyed in a display of power. The shards
exploded outward, piercing the young Jedi and possessing them
with Sith demons. When the time was right, they exploded into
the galaxy as Sith warriors. Kun ordered his young disciples to
exterminate their Jedi Masters. Thus, the Great Sith War was
started. Kun and Qel-Droma's forces killed millions in their
rampages. When Qel-Droma was captured and put to trial on
Coruscant, Kun and Mandalore arrived to retrieve him. In a show
of power, Kun put the entire court into suspended animation,
killing the Old Republic's highest official and eventually
murdering Master Vodo. Kun later raided Ossus, in an attempt to
steal the ancient Jedi and Sith lore stored there. This effort was
cut short when Aleema destroyed the Cron System, and Kun was
forced to flee back to Yavin 4 to regain his strength. The war
would have continued, but the end of the war was quickened
when Qel-Droma was captured on Ossus by Master Thon. He
was cut off from the Force by Nomi Sunrider, and betrayed Kun
by providing the location of Kun's power - the so-called Dark
Temple on Yavin 4 - to the Jedi. The Jedi then met Exar Kun on
the jungle moon, where Kun drew on the Massassi spirits in an
effort to gain strength and make a last stand against the Jedi.
Exar Kun was defeated by the Jedi, but only his body was
destroyed. Kun consumed the Massassi in an effort to lock his
spirit away in the Dark Temple on Yavin 4, where it remained
until Luke Skywalker started training his new Jedi Knights there
more than 4000 years later. Kun tried to control the emerging
Jedi Knights, but his hold was tenuous. His first attempt at
controlling one of them led to the death of Gantoris. Kyp Durron
was his second attempt, but Kyp used Kun's power in an attempt
to destroy the Empire. In a final battle with Luke's Jedi students,
Kun was defeated by the combined strength of all the students.
At his final death, Kun's former teacher Vodo Siosk-Baas
appeared to claim him. Several months later, after escaping from
Leonia Tavira and the Jensaarai, Luke Skywalker allowed Corran
Horn to destroy Kun's statue and temple with a series of proton
torpedoes, utterly wiping out the primary source of dark side
energy on the moon.
