Lord Xist, a Black Sun Vigo, made his home in New Coronet on Trigalis during the era of the Clone Wars. From that location, he held sway over the planet, or so it seemed.
Xist collaborated with the Confederacy of Independent Systems, dealing in arms and information. Reputed to be a formidable fighter, he fought with a deadly vibro-whip. During his quest to locate and rehabilitate Asajj Ventress, Obi-Wan Kenobi learned that Xist possessed crucial data. Kenobi infiltrated Xist's compound, where he confronted the crime lord directly. Despite Xist's prowess with his signature weapon, his arrogance proved to be his downfall, and Kenobi swiftly triumphed. Acknowledging his defeat, Xist reluctantly provided Kenobi with the coordinates of Drama Korr's freighter, identifying it as the location where Ventress could be found.
