Kreia was an unconventional and highly controversial Force-sensitive who took upon herself to build a new Jedi Order of her vision in freeing The Galaxy's sentient beings from being enslaved to The Force. 

A Jedi Master and historian, Kreia wished to gain a full understanding of The Force, but her unconventional and novel approaches, including her training of The Jedi Knight Revan, who turned against the Jedi and founded a new Sith Empire, prompted a perturbed Jedi Council to exile her from The Jedi Order. 

She wasn't all that bothered by her exile, but she was bothered that her own son had turned to The Dark Side, and didn't tell her. She knew she wasn't the prefect Mother, hell Revan didn't even know she was his Mother, altho she suspected he knew. 

After being exiled however she went on a quest, which led her astray; she sought contrast with The Jedi ways by opening herself up to The Dark Side of The Force similarly to her son, but unlike Revan she was overwhelmed by The Darkness on the Sith world of Malachor V, where The Mandalorian Wars that Revan waged culminated in the deadly activation of The Mass Shadow Generator superweapon. 

The echoes of the Malachor tragedy proved overbearing, transforming Kreia into the bitter Sith Lord Darth Traya.

While Revan had reclaimed his Jedi identity, helping to dismantle The Sith Empire of his own creation in The Jedi Civil War before setting for The Unknown Regions for helping his son survive, Darth Traya consolidated a Sith Order of her own. 

However she would later have to redo this as she was among those transformed back in time by her Grandson's Ritual. And because of that she gradually started to remember everything including her Grandson Anakin. 

She became fascinated with the boy as she could sometimes hear him speak with her, giving her subtle warnings and nudges to balancing herself with The Force. Not that Traya ever listened as she wanted to understand how a being like her Grandson could be so powerful. 

She had sensed his presence once, when she went to Ahch-To to find her Grandson only to find him surrounded by Mandalorians with his parents about to be killed, as he did his Force Ritual. During that time she had sensed the raw power within him, and she knew there was something special about him.

It wasn't just that he was Revan's son, who he himself was so powerful that Kreia described it as "Looking Into The Heart of The Force". But he was different...

He was like The Force itself. Almost like a Godly being sent and created by The Force itself to shift the fabric of reality and bring true balance to The Force. She assumed that his sheer power alone could be enough to destroy Galaxies if he reached his Full Potential as a mortal. If he were to become immortal, he would be like The Force itself, if her studies were correct. 

And since she's studied him for 4000 years she knows her stuff. 

Anyway after she was sent back in time she lost all memory of Anakin, and once again became Darth Traya, where she was betrayed once more by her own Sith apprentices, Darth Nihilus and Darth Sion, both ever-slavishly hungry for power and eager to spread death and suffering (respectively, to a certain degree) across the universe. 

Watching powerlessly as The two Sith Lords then led The Jedi Purge, thereby reducing the entirety of The Jedi Order to all but a handful of individuals scattered throughout the known Galaxy, Traya soon came to believe that neither The Jedi nor The Sith deserved to win their seemingly-endless war, as both groups stripped their members of all individuality and reduced them to mere dependents of The Force who then ceaselessly wrought war and devastation across The Galaxy. 

But most of all, her experiences caused her to develop a deep-seated hatred for The Force itself and all that it represented on a philosophical level and yearn for its destruction, as she felt this would emancipate the universe from the sort of existential enslavement she believed The Force subjected it, and all its inhabitants, to.
