The apprentice of Count Dooku during the first half of the Clone Wars, Asajj Ventress was a feared assassin, a brilliant fighter and a complex warrior subject to a horribly tragic life. Losing her Jedi master, she turned to the Dark Side, before Palpatine ordered Dooku to kill her, fearing her growing powers.

Eventually becoming a bounty hunter, Ventress had a striking and twisting character arc, complete with a great rivalry shared with Obi-Wan Kenobi and concluding with her death at the hands of her former master whilst trying to atone for her past.
