There were more than seven, and the content creator seems aware of that, but just fyi some of those not included in this list: Karness Murr, Naga Sadow, Tulak Hord. That said, the topic itself is interesting...
Could these stories serve as parables of rebirth, overcoming, defiance of known reality, or something like?
Darth Andeddu is another Sith Lord in the lore who goes unmentioned in the youtube content; he fled to his own private fiefdom planet to rule over, hidden away from enemies real or imagined, and when his body gave out or he got tired of possessing his own corpse (that's unclear as far as I know) he anchored his spirit to his holocron, presumably a precaution just in case his enemies found out where he was. The ultimate form of playing dead I guess, but since it was another Sith Lord seeking information owho resurrected him, when the day finally came that his holocron and corpse were again in proximity he wasn't faced with an unwitting victim, he was faced with Darth Wyyrlok, a malicious force more powerful than him, and every bit as vicious.
Surely there are several lessons in that tale alone, never mind the others, with each story being fairly unique to the Sith Lord in question. Maybe it's just me, but this seems like largely un-mined material with lots of potential for exploration and expansion. Death, the will to conquer it, and that its inevitability must be dealt with (lol, inevitably) are recurring topics after all, and not just in the lore, but in every single one of our lives.
