Legend

this immense Falleen was once a killer for Black Sun, before supporting the Separatists during the height of the Clone Wars. He controlled his operations from a base in New Coronet, on the planet Trigalis. He was known for his skills using a vibrowhip, and many weaponsmasters claimed that his abilities rivaled those of a Jedi Knight with a lightsaber. Shortly before the First Battle of Coruscant, Obi-Wan Kenobi discovered that Xist had been providing weapons and intelligence to the Separatists in the Outer Rim, and set out to stop him. He hoped to gain information on the whereabouts of Asajj Ventress, who seemed to have escaped her apparent death on Coruscant. The Jedi Council feared that Obi-Wan was too tired from the battles of the Clone Wars to fight Xist, and dispatched Master Aayla Secura to assist him. Obi-Wan shrugged off her help, and defeated Xist in one-on-one combat before the Falleen agreed to tell him everything he knew. Despite his alliances, Xist relayed information that Dooku was dispatched his "best assassin" to eliminate Drama Korr, one of Xist's business associates. When Obi-Wan reached Korr's ship and discovered that it was not Ventress, but Durge, who had been sent to kill Korr, he realized that Xist had set him up to die as part of Dooku's elaborate plans.
