General Kossak Inijic Ar'durv, more widely known as Kossak the Hutt or High Exaltedness Kossak, was a celebrated Hutt who achieved fame by vanquishing Xim the Despot at the culmination of the Xim Wars in 25,100 BBY, thereby earning the title Devourer of Despots.
More than twenty-five millennia prior to the Battle of Yavin, Kossak stood out as the singular Hutt leader who transcended internal conflicts to confront the growing threat posed by Xim's empire. Asserting his authority as the commander of the Hutt clans, Kossak unified his previously fractured species and formally declared war against Xim.
Employing Xim's own deceitful strategies against him, Kossak waged an effective multi-year campaign against the Despot, securing a significant victory during the First Battle of Vontor. Following substantial losses in a later engagement on Vontor, Kossak recruited the Vodran, Nikto, and Weequay species into his forces and ultimately triumphed over Xim in a decisive battle on the very same planet. Xim was then captured and imprisoned in Kossak's dungeons located on Varl. Honored by his descendants and regarded as the greatest Hutt in history, Kossak served as a significant source of pride and inspiration for all Hutts, and his name was even invoked as an oath, with Zorba Desilijic Tiure professing to be one of his descendants.
