Count Down to The Last Jedi - Day 21 (Trivia)

Countdown to Star Wars:  Day 21 (Star Wars Trivia)

Our Countdown to Justice League was successful, in my little opinion and by my lowly standards, so this time we are going to CountDown to Star Wars Episode 8 (or VIII as they will probably label it, safest to call it The Last Jedi, the subtitle of this Episode in the epic series) and in our CountDown we will look at little known facts or characters, maybe associated with the current series, maybe connected to the Star Wars Legacy Universe (the comics and novels before Disney bought Star Wars), or even just connected to the original or prequel trilogies and maybe, just maybe an animated series factoid.  

What was the original name of Darth Kryat?  The name "kryat" comes from the kryat dragon from his homeworld.  (Hint there) -- Darth Kryat formed the One Sith after training becoming stranded on  Korriban and training with one of the first Sith Lords, Lady Xoxaan.  He left Korriban and ran into the Yuuzhan Vong, invaders from another galaxy that detested technology but instead use biological weapons, biotechnology and believe in scaring themselves, tattooing and cutting or having implants to make themselves closer to their Gods.  Kryat ran into them and was tortured and portions of him, his artificial arm lost in battle as a Jedi was replaced with an organic one, one of his eyes was replaced with a Vong creature..  He returned to Korriban and waited for over a hundred years, building his strength and his Sith Army.  Some joined Darth Caedus, the grandson of Darth Vader, but his attempt at taking control of the New Republic and the renewed Jedi Order was fruitless.  Meanwhile, Darth Kryat trained and eventually seized his opportunity to become the leader of the galaxy.  

Darth Kryat, unlike the Sith that came before, abandoned the Rule of Two (Master and Apprentice) and took on may Sith Lords; Darth Maladi, Darth Wyylock, Darth Talon, Darth Nihl, He has many Sith Lords, Sith Apprentices, and raw recruits.  But he did not begin as Darth Kryat no more than Senator Palpatine started out to become the Emperor.  

If you know the answer (without looking it up) then comment "Yes" and if so, we will talk and if so you may win a special Star Wars Count Down gift.  

Last hints; Darth Kyrat knew Anakin Skywalker, Obi-Wan Kenobi, Yoda, Mace Windu, and even Ki-Adi Mundi, the Dark Lady and other iconic Jedi Masters from the dying days of the Old Republic and his father was also a Jedi Master.   Any guesses?
