A ruthless and cunning military mind mixed with the skills of a deadly and powerful warrior, Asajj Ventress became infamous as a large threat to the Republic during the Clone Wars. Originally a Jedi Knight trained by Ky Narec, Asajj was somehow cast away from the Jedi Order. She was found on a war-ravaged planet by Count Dooku shortly after the Clone Wars began. Dooku took her on, and accused the Jedi of abandoning Ventress's former master, Ky Narec. Dooku then began training Asajj into becoming a formidable dark warrior. She became proficient in using twin lightsabers - with curved handles in the same style as Dooku's - and in wielding the dark side of the Force. As Dooku was but a Sith apprentice himself, he could not take Asajj on as his own apprentice, though he guided her whenever possible. Asajj Ventress then entered the Clone Wars. She teamed up with a bounty hunter named Durge, and carried out missions by his side. The two of them fought Jedi in the Battle of Ohma-D'un, and later Asajj even confronted Mace Windu on Ruul. However, she realised she was no match for the Jedi Master, and fled. Asajj and Durge killed four Jedi on Queyta, and also tried to kill Obi-Wan Kenobi and his padawan. Yet the Jedi escaped, along with the antidote to a biological weapon that had been used by Durge on Ohma-D'un. She was later assigned to assassinate Anakin Skywalker, and engaged in a vicious battle with the young Jedi. |
