Xev Xrexus

Xev Xrexus was a human female who founded the Xrexus Cartel during the final decades of the Galactic Republic. Leading her cartel as its Boss-Mistress, Xrexus sold and distributed unlicensed combat automata from semi-legitimate manufacturers. Although her connections ran deep throughout the galactic underworld, much of Xrexus' ties and life became lost or dubious knowledge after her death. Her most infamous moment came when smugglers under her employ discovered Jedi Padawan Eldra Kaitis in a shuttle crash and took her captive. Seeing the youngling as a chance to drive her cartel forward, Xrexus decided to auction her off to the most prominent criminal organizations and groups in the galaxy.

Before beginning her auction, Xrexus discovered the Sith Lord Maul aboard her space station. Xrexus, correctly assuming that Maul would steal Kaitis from the winner of the auction, had his ship wired to explode and bombed the craft, crashing it on the moon of Drazkel below. Xrexus decided to capitalize on the turn of events and announced a pay-to-play hunt for the Padawan and her captors. The hunt turned into a massacre as most of Xrexus's guests who journeyed to the site were killed before they fled the system. After slaughtering Kaitis, Maul returned to Xrexus's space station. Maul murdered Xrexus's staff and found Xrexus alone in her private suite, where the Boss-Mistress accepted her fate and was executed to ensure the Sith's secrecy.
