Xux

"We are here to make the perfect soldier. And you, well, one of you, are going to be that soldier."

- Varad Zagg, referring to Xux.

, more commonly referred to as "Captain Xux", was a Force-sensitive member of the Death Watch during the Clone Wars. Near the conclusion of the Shadow Conflict, he was possessed by Darth Ruin, and slain by Ganner Slarwalker.

Biography
Xux worked for the Death Watch by the time of 19 BBY, when Arek Saris came to the planet to acquire him for the Shadow Assassins. He succeeded in convincing Pre Vizla to grant him 50 soldiers, including Xux, to come with him to Umbara. When they arrived, Varad Zagg ordered all 50 to fight to the death, knowing Xux would be victorious. When the battle had concluded, Talzin performed the Binding on him and bound the spirit of Darth Ruin to him, knowing that Ruin would be driven insane. Ruin, now in control of Xux, escaped during the Eclipse of Umbara and made his way to Korriban, where he discovered that the Sith had been exterminated. Fueled by insanity, he dueled Ganner Slarwalker with such ferocity that it began to destroy Xux's body due to his power being more than it could handle. Eventually he was no longer able to carry on the duel and began to form a singularity as he begged Ganner to kill him. Ganner obliged, but Xux's death came too late, and his body collapsed inwards on itself as his spirit was condemned to an eternity beyond the Force, a fate considered to be worse than death.

Behind the scenes
Xux had nearly the same role in the original story that he possesses in the final version, but instead of dying on Korriban, he was the final enemy that Ganner faced on Umbara.
