Darth Plagueis was not the first Sith to master the art of cheating death. There was another, far more powerful Dark Side user who existed for many generations prior to Plagueis. His name was Darth Andeddu, an ancient Human originating from the planet of Prakith. This Dark Lord of the Sith was also the very first to use the title of "Darth" and was capable of extending his own life well past what any Force user had been capable of before.
Darth Andeddu was referred to as the Immortal God-King of Prakith. Knowledge of his existence was scarce following the Jedi Order's attempts to rid any mention of him from galactic records. However, many still knew of his existence and his immense power, which remained attainable well after his eventual death.
It is said that Count Dooku was one of the Sith who set off in search of Andeddu's knowledge and even discovered a Holocron, which contained reference to many of Andeddu's works. It is believed that this is where Dooku learned the ability to conjure Force Lightening - a power he supposedly passed on to his master, Darth Sidious.
