Kreia was a highly controversial Force-sensitive. A Human female Jedi Master and historian, Kreia wished to gain full understanding of the Force, but her unconventional and novel approaches prompted a perturbed Jedi Council to exile her from the Order. Kreia sought contrast with the Jedi ways by opening herself up to the dark side, being overwhelmed by the darkness on the Sith world of Malachor V, where the Mandalorian Wars that Revan waged culminated in the deadly activation of the Mass Shadow Generator. The echoes of Malachor proved overbearing, transforming Kreia into the Sith Lord Darth Traya.
