| When Xerxes returned home he found things in a disasterous state. His Father and Mother were found murdered in their home with multiple laser burns all over his body. Xerxes was infuriated and vowed to exact revenge on whoever had committed the deed. Later that week Xerxes was on his way to Aleya's house when he saw Dejonn quickly jump into a landspeeder and take off. Xerxes entered the house and called out for Aleya. Upon searching the house he found her body in the bedroom bloodied and bruised. The marks around her neck identified that she was strangled and also who had done it.

| Xerxes searched for Dejonn and found that he had stolen a freighter and left Cardia. Xerxes made an oath in blood over his families graves that he would exact revenge on Dejonn. Xerxes sold all his families possession's except for the amulet that Aleya had given him. He bought a Aurek fighter and christened it ''Honor's Sake''. He spent the next year searching for Dejonn and doing minor bounty hunter work and teaming up with other bounty hunters on minor jobs to fund his search. Finally his lucky break came he found Dejonn on the Empress Teta system. Xerxes hunted Dejonn down to the Iron Citadel and spent his remaining resources to infilitrate the place. Unfortunately Dejonn had been warned and set a trap for Xerxes. As he made his way through a series of sub-level hallways, the trap was unleashed two transparent walls slammed down on both sides of the hallway trapping Xerxes inside. Dejonn showed up to taunt Xerxes admitting to the murder of his family and laughed at Xerxes failure. Xerxes became enraged and unknowingly use the Force to crush Dejonn's heart. Even though he had succeeded in killing Dejonn his rage had subsided and he was trapped in an airtight trap. Slowly he sufficated to death and fell into blissfull slumber. | | Xerxes searched for Dejonn and found that he had stolen a freighter and left Carida.

| In 20 ABY Xerxes was resurrected by a miniscule Krath Cult called the "Life Givers". They had reached a peak of 50 members when the ten of the leaders discovered a way to resurrect the dead. Immeadiately they thought of the late Emperor Palpatine, but once thinking it through they decided to perfect the ritual on a non-important corpse first. It was the will of the Force that that day an initiate in the Life Givers would stumble across Xerxes preserved body. The Krath Pontifex was thrilled and called together his Epis. Together they started to chant the dark words that would bring about the life of the corpse. Once the fools had completed the dark ritual they discovered the draw back of using the power. The life force was sucked from them and transfered to Xerxes giving him life. | | In 20 ABY Xerxes was resurrected by a minuscule Krath Cult called the "Life Givers".
