Kreia's eyesight went unused as she depended on meditations, attempting to penetrate the galaxy's mysteries. However, it is known that she was a Jedi historian, and that she had worked her way to the rank of Jedi Master, training many students. The majority of the early life of the Human female Kreia is shrouded in mystery. Surik would journey to Malachor during what would be known as the Great Scourge of Malachor and confront Darth Traya, dueling and killing the Sith Lord atop her Sith temple. Shortly after this, Traya laid the foundation of Darth Nihilus's death, and overthrew Darth Sion on Malachor, thus bringing her back into power as the Dark Lord. After assisting Surik in locating Jedi Masters and bringing them together on the planet Dantooine, Traya betrayed Surik and the Jedi by slaughtering several Masters and revealing herself as a Sith. Even as Traya put into place a Jedi purge, she continued in her attempts to mold Surik into her own image. Traya saw Surik as having the potential to bring her purpose to fruition, and took it upon herself to 'rescue' Surik and retrain her in her own views.

Going under the guise of 'Kreia' once more, Traya located a former student of hers, Meetra Surik, also known as the Jedi Exile.

After being exiled by both the Jedi and Sith, she held a deep hatred for both organizations and sought retribution. With them she created the Sith Triumvirate and became its Dark Lord, intent on destroying the Jedi.Įventually, Traya was overthrown by Sion and Nihilus, who removed her from power and forced her to leave Malachor. In the years following the conflict with Revan's Sith Empire, Traya would search for Force-Sensitives to recruit, and discovered two men who became her apprentices, Darth Sion and Darth Nihilus.

There, she discovered ancient Sith knowledge and turned to the dark side, becoming a Sith Lord. After Kreia withdrew from the Jedi Order, she followed Revan's echos to the planet Malachor. Prior to the Mandalorian Wars, Kreia was a Jedi Master and Jedi historian, who was exiled by the Jedi Council because of the results her teaching Jedi Knight Revan, her former student, who led a majority of the Jedi into war against the Mandalorians. Darth Traya, known in her later years as Kreia, was a Human female Sith Lord who would rise to the title of Dark Lord of the Sith Triumvirate, ruling over the remnants of the Sith forces once ruled by Darth Revan and Darth Malak.
