Dooku



Count Dooku was a respected Jedi Master who joined the order at age seven in 95 BBY. He entered Knighthood around 80 BBY and later became a Jedi Master. He was present at The Battle of Galidraan where he first met the bounty hunter, Jango Fett. He left the Order in 32 BBY because he believed the Jedi were controlled by the corrupt Senate. He later became apprentice to Darth Sidious as a Dark Lord of the Sith taking the name Tyranus.

Dooku then made contacts with others interested in a rebellion against the Republic. Some specific businesses partnered with the Separatists were: The Commerce Guild, The Banking Clan, and the Trade Federation. The Separatists would use the Trade Federation's Droid Army to take over the Republic and start it anew. In 22 BBY The Clone Wars began with the First Battle of Geonosis. Near the end of the battle Dooku was followed by Obi-Wan Kenobi and Anakin Skywalker to a Separatist hangar where he was planning to escape. He easily defeated the two of them and almost killed them with a giant pillar. But Yoda's intervention saved the two from destruction. Dooku had many victories in the Clone Wars, but in 19 BBY his progress was in vain as he was beheaded by Anakin Skywalker, which Dooku realized was Sidious's plan from the start. As Anakin would later become Tyranus's Succesor, Darth Vader.
