Freedon Nadd

Freedon Nadd, a Force-sensitive human male, was a prodigy among the Jedi during the Old Republic Era whose conscious decision to embrace the dark side of the Force had a significant impact on galactic events for many generations after his death. Nadd's career began as a student in training on the planet Ossus, but a lust for greater power caused him to slay his Master, Matta Tremayne, and renounce his affiliation with the Jedi Order. He fled Ossus and made his way to the heart of the old Sith Empire, where he gained an enormous wealth of dark side knowledge. He eventually followed the Force to the jungle moon of Yavin 4, where he found and apprenticed himself to the ancient Dark Lord Naga Sadow. Sadow trained Nadd in not only the Sith arts but also in Sith alchemy and sorcery, leading him even further down the dark path.
When he determined that he had learned all his Sith Master had to offer, Nadd used his newfound powers to kill Sadow and left Yavin 4 behind in search of a world to conquer as his own. He proclaimed himself Dark Lord of the Sith, and used his sorcerous powers to subjugate the world of Onderon, where he ruled as king from the capital of Iziz for more than a hundred years until his physical demise. His body was entombed below the royal palace of Iziz, which became a focal point of Sith power. Nadd's spirit lingered in the tomb, from whence it taught the descendants of his bloodline and further steeped Onderon in the miasma that was the dark side of the Force.
Some time after Nadd's death, his spirit was summoned back from the depths of Chaos using a dark ritual, enabling him to once more exert his influence over the galaxy. Having learned of this, the Jedi would relocate Nadd's tomb to Onderon's jungle moon in an effort to further isolate him from the galaxy. At some point, Nadd would develop an interest in the Dark Jedi Exar Kun and took him as a Sith apprentice, though with the secret goal of increasing Kun's power to aid him in creating a suitable body for Nadd so that he could command the Force once more. However, Kun betrayed Nadd and delivered a critical blow which mortally wounded the Sith spirit, consigning him to oblivion forever.
