Freedon Nadd

Sith Lord

At first, Freedon Nadd was a Jedi Knight, but like many, he was seduced by the Dark Side of the Force. He became one of the most powerful Sith Lords that ever existed. The ambitious Lord hoped to become the next Dark Lord of the Sith. And so, he apprenticed himself to a Dark Lord of Sith. Soon, he began to see that he would have no chance at being a Dark Lord, as long as his master lived. Thus, wanting a world to conquer and rule over, Freedon Nadd left his homeworld and arrived at Onderon, an obscure planet, soon to become one of the most notorious planets in the galaxy. There, on Onderon, he made himself the first King. Onderon soon became the central focus of Dark Side power and many Force users were drawn there, with Freedon Nadd's powerful use of Sith magic. When Nadd died, his followers mummified his deceased body and buried it in an unknown tomb, on Onderon. But even after his death, the spirit of Freedon Nadd kept Onderon as a planet, strong with the Dark Side of the Force. He did this by teaching each and every successive ruler in the ways of the Sith, through spirit. His secret tomb soon was discovered and it became a place of great evil. Alot of the Dark Side was concentrated there. However, the reign of Sith rulers was ended when the Jedi sent Ulic Qel-Droma and two other Knights to negotiate. They interceded in the Beast Wars of Onderon and also quelled the Freedon Nadd Uprising. His coffin was then moved to and hidden on the Dxun moon. Hundreds of years later, Exar Kun, a Jedi, captivated by the mystery and power that the Sith had, was led to the moon by Nadd's followers. Upon entering, found Nadd's spirit lurking around in his secret tomb. Nadd convinecd the Jedi to turn completely to the Dark Side. Once that happened, he showed Kun the secrets of the Sith on Korriban and Yavin 4. The spirit Nadd ordered that Kun take the Sith scrolls inside the tomb that would give him much power. But, unbeknownst to Exar Kun, Nadd's plan was to use him to become a physical shap (body) so he could rule Onderon once more. However, Kun soon learned about his master's scheming and, with an amulet of Sith, destroyed the Sith Lord. The great powers of Sith turned against him, even Freedon Nadd's spiritual body died, ending the life of Nadd, forever.
