Era: Old Republic – Empire
A Fallen who worked his way up in the criminal organization Black Sun, Xixor’s fame spread far. He was an excellent strategist and long term thinker. He also had a serious ego, an ability to hold a grudge until he could get revenge. His natural Falleen pheromones enabled him to attract nearly any woman, but he had no interest in a long term relationship. He believed his reptilian heritage made him superior.
Xixor was ruthless, and during the Clone Wars he was already working his way up the ranks of the Black Sun criminal empire and was a Vigo (a leader of his sector) by the end. He had a hand in spice smuggling and slavery. He also managed to manipulate Durga the Hutt into his control, by hiding links that would prove who murdered Aruk the Hutt, it’s parent
As well as a leader of the Black Sun criminal Empire, he also owned XTS Transport Systems, which did enough business on its own to make him rich. Xixor had a castle on Coruscant aka Imperial Center.
Prince Xixor was clever enough to curry favor with the Empire, and his XTS Transport was often used by the Imperials. Various lobbyists and corporations sought his influence in exchange for failures.
Xixor had a particular hatred for Darth Vader. He knew that Vader was to blame for his family’s deaths. Worse, he found out that Vader had been Anakin Skywalker. He had hired assassins to try to kill him before (and Vader replied in kind.) But he bore the Emperor’s protection, so Vader could not outright finish him.
Xixor made a tactical error when he found out how badly Vader (and the Emperor) wanted Luke Skywalker. Realizing Luke was his son, he decided to have Luke killed, costing Vader his son and also his reputation, as he’d promised to deliver him alive.
Meanwhile, Princess Leia decided to test out Black Suns’ spy network in hopes they could explain who was behind the attempted assassination of Luke. Once Xixor had her, he lured Luke there. Unfortunately for Xixor, Luke, Lando, Chewbacca and Dash Rendar snuck into the castle, to rescue Leia who simultaneously broke out. The result was the destruction of the castle.
Xixor managed to escape to his skyhook. But Vader discovered his plot, and the Emperor was not there to protect him. He refused to surrender when Vader ordered it and the Dark Lord ordered the skyhook destroyed with the same effectiveness of Luke Skywalker and friends destroying the castle.
Prince Xixor’s Relationships
Unbeknownst to most, Xixor had a family. His parents, siblings and other family were all killed when an Imperial bioweapon escaped a lab on Falleen. For this, he blamed Darth Vader who was responsible for the project. It was so deadly, that the Empire sterilized major cities with turbolasers, to prevent anyone escaping and accidentally spreading it to other worlds.
Only one relative is known to have escape alive.
His closest associate was Guri, a human replica droid. He didn’t allow himself to become associated with anyone else, his romantic liasons were to satisfy his lust, not for love.
