Both Exal Kressh and Darth Wredd were enslaved by their masters, blindly lashing out like the animals they were reduced to. Both attempted to break free of these shackles by forging alliances with their traditional enemies, but instead of truly freeing themselves, they simply lashed out at their erstwhile former comrades. Instead of achieving self-actualization, they knowingly followed a path of nihilistic self-destruction. Ultimately, the damage done to them by their masters was irreversible, and the only victory they could hope for was death. Exal Kressh was the primary antagonist of The Old Republic webcomic series Blood Of The Empire, published in 2010. She is also mentioned in The Old Republic Encyclopedia.

I also think I should offer my response to the Battle of the Floating World, and whether or not it constituted a true and total extinction of the Sith. Short answer, no. All of the established Sith characters who survived the Legacy series proper, namely Darths Nihl, Talon, Maladi, and Havok, are unaccounted for. And to be frank, it's doubtful that they would have shown up at the battle, anyway. While I will concede that the overwhelming majority of the One Sith Order was exterminated, a total extinction is unlikely. If anything, Wredd probably did Nihl a favor, as Nihl had effectively fallen into his position as Acting Dark Lord, and didn't command the same level of respect as Darth Krayt. While Krayt's surviving inner circle could be trusted to place the idealogy ahead of their ambitions, betrayal within the rank and file was practically inevitable, as Darth Wredd himself demonstrated.
