Vodal Kressh was a male Sith Pureblood alchemist who served the Sith Empire centuries before the Great Galactic War. Eventually, Vodal turned against the Sith Emperor and fled to the planet Athiss, where he amassed an army of fanatic followers and monstrous Sithspawn beasts to use against the Empire and claim the galaxy as his own. Unfortunately, Kressh died before he could strike against the Emperor, and the latter declared Athiss forbidden.
