History Characters / StarwarsExpandedUniverse

Due to Disney's ruling, this article has been split up into two section: the new ''Star Wars'' Expanded Universe (which is just labeled as ''Star Wars'' Canon), and the original EU (now known as ''Legends'').

Please only include characters that have played a substantial role in at least one storyline. Movie characters that are far more prominent in the Expanded Universe should be placed here, as well.

!!Xanatos

Qui-Gon Jinn's second Padawan, Xanatos was a bright student who was frequently praised for his technical ability. On a mission to his homeworld of Telos, Xanatos betrayed Qui-Gon to his father, Telosian Governor Crion; when Qui-Gon cut down Crion in front of him, Xanatos swore revenge. He went on to fund Offworld, a mining corporation with a hand in numerous illegal concerns galaxy wide, and made several attempts to get his revenge on Qui-Gon, including trying to blow up the Jedi Temple and steal the treasury. Cornerned on Telos, Xanatos ultimately committed suicide rather than be captured.

* CreateYourOwnVillain

!!Jenna Zan Arbor

A renegade MadScientist with a passion for discovery, Jenna Zan Arbor arranged for Qui-Gon Jinn's kidnapping at the hands of the BountyHunter, [[TheDragon Ona Nobis]] so that she might gain a better understanding of the Force. Qui-Gon's apprentice Obi-Wan Kenobi rescued him and captured Arbor, though not before the scientist had both tortured Qui-Gon, and attempted to wipe out the entire world of Belasco with a genetically engineered bacterium. Escaping custody, Arbor had several run-ins with Obi-Wan and his apprentice, Anakin Skywalker, before allying herself with [[DiabolicalMastermind Granta Omega]] in a bid to brainwash the Senate. Omega was killed, but Arbor escaped and went on to manufacture numerous weapons for first the Confederacy of Independent Systems, and then the new Galactic Empire. She was eventually mindwiped by Lina Naltree, and finally killed by Darth Vader for her failure.

!!Granta Omega

Xanatos' illegitimate son, Granta Omega is a Force Blank: a being with no connection whatsover to the living Force. Having inherited his father's wealth, and his hatred for the Jedi, Omega embarks on a campaign against the Jedi Order and the Old Republic. He makes several attempts to kill Obi-Wan and Anakin, arranges massacres and flare-ups across the galaxy, and takes down several other Jedi along the way, before meeting his end at Obi-Wan's hands.

* BigBadDuumvirate: With [[MadScientist Jenna Zan Arbor]]
* CorruptCorporateExecutive: Inherited his father's controlling interest in [[MegaCorp Offworld]].

A firm believer in spending money to make money, he's more than willing to put contracts on the Jedi, attack the Senate with a mind-control weapon, and plot the destruction of an entire planet through civil war, and biological weaponry.
* FamousLastWords: "I know who he (Darth Sidious) is. You will wish you did."
* IcyBlueEyes: As cold and icy as his father's.
* TheManBehindTheMan: To the {{Bounty Hunter}}s on Ragoon VI, the civil war on Mawan, and the eventual attack on the Senate.
