Bane had the potential to be a really unique character, an almost (anti)messianic figure. And yet, in Karpyshyn hands, he became just another boring generic Sith rather than the nearly mythical character presented in TPM novelization and even in the Jedi vs Sith. Worse was how Bane created the RoT. Bane should have come to this conclusion himself by watching the Sith self-destruct (and perhaps by having thwarted of a few usurpation attempts) he should not have simply have got it from a holocron.

Ulic gets no play because hes's basically just a less whiny Anakin. At this point in the mythos, the only thing more cliche more than a megalomaniac is a Jedi prodigy falling to the dark side, becoming a megalomaniac and then feeling bad for doing megalomaniacal things and dying.
Exar Kun is a much more entertaining sith in all his greasiness, and with decent writing could be the Star Wars equivalent of Morgoth.

Humhum Knowledge is power.
Especialy on the force....
Learning training...
That's better than having an O.P blood... Anakin have been trained since his childhood and doesn't have O.P capacity like does even if he was older....
Yhea bt who's Exar Kun without Ulic?

Ulic's story is more complex than that. He was actively trying to work as a spy for the Jedi against the darkside. And he actually lived years and years after returning to the light.
Exar was a Jedi prodigy who fell to the dark side out of direct desire for power... that's even more Anakin than Ulic is!
Really, if you need to add a 'with decent writing' provision, that could apply to almost anyone. Why Exar and not any of a wide number of others, is what I'm saying?
Also, Sith-history wise, Exar wasn't... that crucial. I mean, he was one of the early 'master and apprentice' pairs that the wider galaxy knew about, but he didn't found an order. He didn't take down the Jedi. He was famous but didn't represent a turning point.
