Okay time for an atttempted simplification at Serroli's backstory.

General Serroli gets killed by the Namekians, and Akuno is terribly agry and sad and in his rage creates a shade of Serroli, one that lives to fight pretty much. The two go to Namek and try to fight all the Namekians. They nearly destroy everything but a handful of Namekians trap Dark Kai and escape. Serroli stays with Dark Kai for years and years.

The Namekians head for a new planet, but land on the same one as the rebel Saiyans. They strike up a deal, where if the Namekians get rid of Serroli, they're allowed to live. So they head back to the planet Serroli is stuck on with some other Saiyans. Serroli pretty much kills everything except for about two or three from both races.

The Saiyans and Namekians pool their energies and use a spell thing to trap Serroli on the planet. In doing so, they sacrifice their lives.

Serroli stays there for years, until Goku and Vegeta turn up. They get trapped in his place, and Serroli goes mental with his freedom and tears across the universe. He eventually lands on earth and the True Super Saiyan Saga starts.

Easier to understand now?
