[b]Darth Krayt[/b], born[b]A'Sharad Hett[/b], was aHumanmalewho served as aJedi Masterin the waning days of theGalactic Republic. The son of legendaryJedi KnightSharad Hettand his wifeK'Sheek, both of whom lived among theTusken RaidersofTatooine, he eventually became thePadawanofJediMastersKi-Adi-Mundi, and later,An'ya Kuro. When he was only a teen, Hett's father was murdered by the Jedi assassinAurra Sing, who was later defeated in a duel by a young A'Sharad Hett. During theClone Wars, he served the Republic as aGeneraland established himself as a charismatic leader who often led his troops from the front. He eventually became friends with the youngAnakin Skywalkerand helped Anakin come to terms with the destruction which had been wrought bythe galaxy-wide war. A'Sharad took part in key conflicts during the war such as theBattle of Boz Pityand theSiegeofSaleucami. He managed to survive the Clone Wars, and was one of the few Jedi known to have escaped theGreat Jedi Purgein19 BBY.
A'Sharad Hett eventually made his way back to hishomeworldofTatooinewhere he vowed to wage a private war against the newGalactic Empire. However, after aconfrontationwith Jedi MasterObi-Wan Kenobi, he was exiled from Tatooine and later discovered that it was Anakin Skywalker who became theSith LordDarth Vader, who he had aided in the annihilation of theJedi Order. A'Sharad blamed himself for the destruction of the Jedi Order and became a bounty hunter. During one of his missions, he found himself onKorriban, where he trained as aSithunder the tutelage of the Dark LordXoXaan. Hett eventually fell to thedark sideafter capture andtortureby theYuuzhan Vongand soon proclaimed himselfDread LordandDark Lord of the Sith, taking the name "Darth Krayt".
As Krayt, he became the founder and leader of theOne Sith. He rebuilt the Sith Order and kept its existence hidden from the Jedi by cloaking their presence on Korriban. To survive, the Dark Lord spent many years in stasis before reemerging to form an alliance with MoffNyna Calixteand to spark theSithImperial Warthat led to the destruction of theGalactic Federation of Free Alliances. At the climax of the war, he deposed EmperorRoan Feland brought about the destruction of theNew Jedi Order.
Darth Krayt ruled the galaxy with an iron fist for seven years before the alliance between rightful Emperor Roan Fel and Galactic Alliance admiralGar Stazithreatened his usurped rule. Furthermore, Krayt discovered the existence and survival of a Skywalker:Cade. Krayt feared that with these deteriorating conditions and his bad health would lead to his demise before his dream was finished, and sent about the hunt for Cade Skywalker. However, during askirmishonHad Abbadon, Krayt was stabbed and sent hurtling off a cliff. The Sith Lord's powers proved strong, however, when they saved his life. Darth Krayt was then approached byDarth Wyyrlok, his most trusted advisor, who presumablymurderedKrayt, believing the Dread Lord would lead to the Sith Order's destruction.
But, even as he was inactive, Krayt's ideals were being carried out by Wyyrlok in his place. Krayt later healed his body from his near-death experience. Overcoming the taint of his armor, he called out to all those across the galaxy who had touched the dark side, signaling his return. With the aid of loyal Sith and a new breed of Sith troopers, KraytretookCoruscant, slaying Darth Wyyrlok in the process, and began making preparations to rebirth the galaxy through war. However, in thefinal battle, he once again attempted to turn Cade Skywalker. He failed to do so, which allowed Cade to permanently kill him.

still confused on why this is here but Darth Krayt is one of my favorites

Ever played KoTF 2 mod for Jedi Academy? I believe Darth Krayt is a playable character. Super cool imo
