Yuvar Xal

Yuvar Xal was a male Human Sith Master in the Sith Tribe from the planet Kesh. By 43.5 ABY, he had taken on the Keshiri Ahri Raas as his apprentice. That year, Xal was one of the many Sith who felt Jedi Grand Master Luke Skywalker's presence in the Force after the Jedi touched an Aing-Tii relic, the Codex. Xal later argued against sending a single strike team after Skywalker, believing the Sith would need a stronger force to bring him down. Nevertheless, Xal and Raas were chosen for the strike force sent to track the Meditation Sphere Ship and kill Skywalker. Xal served as Lady Olaris Rhea's executive officer for the mission.

Xal grew dissatisfied with Rhea's leadership, however, and began to plot a coup against her. Meanwhile, the team tracked Ship to a planet in the Maw where they met Abeloth, a powerful woman who decided to assist the Sith in their survival. Xal ordered Raas to use Rhea's apprentice, Vestara Khai, to gather information that may assist his coup, and was preparing to initiate it when Ship suddenly returned to the Sith. The team was then transported to Sinkhole Station, where they were to ambush Luke Skywalker and his son, Ben. During the battle, Xal gave Raas orders to betray and kill Khai, but the apprentice failed to do so. Khai then threw her shikkar at Xal, killing him.
