The Xon weren't any more evil or good than the race that survived; two equally sentient species emerged on the Centauri homeworld over the course of evolution. They were more or less separated by distance and land masses and oceans, so there was little contact until either side developed the technology required to find the other. It was the next best thing to a first contact situation, except it's on their own world; they were very much alien to one another. Somewhere along the line, it was decided that this world wasn't big enough for both of them, so they began a campaign of slaughter against each other. Londo's people won.
