Xendor Taral

"Zhol kash dinora. Ja’ak."

- Xendor Taral

Xendor Taral was the first and one of the most infamous Dark Jedi Bendu in history. Originally, he was a Jedi Bendu Knight from Kashi, but he was expelled from the Order of the Jedi Bendu of the Ophuchi due to his unorthodox methods and his intent to study and practice the arts of the Bogan. After his exile, he made his way into the Unknown Regions and found the lost world of Had Abaddon where he acquired an artifact known as the Kaiburr crystal. After securing the relic, he returned to Galactic Republic territory and founded an order of Dark Jedi Bendu and dark warriors that he called the Legions of Lettow, the term “Lettow” being the name of the ancient Ophuchi God of the Underworld. His disciples also referred to themselves as the “minions of Xendor”. He fell in love with one of his disciples, a woman named Arden Lyn. Using the power of the Kaiburr crystal, he was able to keep Lyn young and beautiful. Years later, they unleashed a plot to destroy the Jedi Bendu on Coruscant, but the plan failed and Xendor was killed. However, his legacy lived on for thousands of years through the Dark Guardians of Lettow, the Gungan Empire and the Prophets of Lettow.
