Agruss / Legends Agruss , also known as the " Keeper " was the head of the Kadavo slave processing facility on Kadavo . At the time that Obi - Wan Kenobi was imprisoned there , Agruss was an obese man confined to a hover chair . As with many slavers , he was a cruel creature ; he did not hesitate to end the lives of several slaves in an attempt to break the morale of his captive Jedi . When Anakin Skywalker led Republic forces on a rescue mission , Agruss tried to dispose of the remaining slaves by dumping them in the caldera . Most of the Togruta captives were saved by the Jedi at the last moment , and Agruss was impaled by Captain Rex with an electrostaff , killing him almost instantly . Biography . An obese individual who used a repulsorchair to move about , Keeper Agruss was a male Zygerrian slaver who served the Zygerrian Slave Empire and , by extension , the Confederacy of Independent Systems . He oversaw the Kadavo slave processing facility , the center of slaving operations on the planet Kadavo . Around 21 BBY , the captured Togruta population of the planet Kiros was sent to Kadavo to undergo processing under Agruss ' s supervision . However , the disappearance of Kiros ' s residents had not escaped the notice of the Galactic Republic , and an investigation led three Jedi — Obi - Wan Kenobi , Anakin Skywalker , and Ahsoka Tano — and Clone Captain CT - 7567 , " Rex , " to the Zygerrian homeworld , where all were captured by Zygerrian forces . While Skywalker and Tano remained captive on Zygerria , Kenobi , Rex , and Kiros Governor Roshti were sent to the processing hub on Kadavo . Agruss was on hand to greet Kenobi when he and his fellow captives arrived on the planet . While the Keeper expressed his excitement at having a Jedi at the processing facility , he immediately demonstrated his authority in an attempt to force Kenobi into submission — without warning , Agruss had several Togruta slaves dropped into the volcano above which the processing hub rested . He proclaimed that any attempt at disobedience on Kenobi ' s part would only result in the further suffering of others . Even Kenobi ' s attempts at helping the Togruta slaves backfired , causing them to avoid the Jedi or risk further pain . Agruss , under the order of Count Dooku , prepared to execute Obi - Wan and Rex , but the men of the Republic overpowered the guards while Anakin Skywalker and Ahsoka Tano led an assault by clone forces to liberate the slaves . Under threat of capture or worse , Arguss tortured Togruta slaves to force the Republic troops to stop , then destroyed the control panels that would have enabled their rescue . At this moment , Obi - Wan took possession of his lightsaber and pointed it at the slavemaster , who scoffed and claimed that the moralistic Jedi would not kill an unarmed man . Rex , enraged by the treatment of his men , the slaves and the Jedi at the hands of Arguss , quipped that he was no Jedi and threw an electrostaff taken from a guard . Arguss was impaled by the weapon and , in distress and agony , he flew his repulsorchair into a bank of monitors and was electrocuted . He died almost immediately , and his corpse was incinerated when the labor processing hub was destroyed by Republic forces after their personnel were evacuated . Behind the scenes . The character who would later be named Agruss was originally created by Henry Gilroy for the first story arc of , " " . Identified only as " Keeper , " he appeared as one of the Zygerrian antagonists in the and of the series , both of which were released in 2009 . In late 2011 and early 2012 , the " Slaves of the Republic " comics were adapted into a three - part story arc of of . Because the three episodes — " Kidnapped , " " Slaves of the Republic , " and " Escape from Kadavo " — were not direct adaptations of the comic arc , many differences existed between the two versions of the story . While the basic plot remained the same , the Keeper and several other characters underwent significant transformations for their TV appearances . Voiced by Victor Brandt , the Keeper appeared in " Slaves of the Republic " and " Escape from Kadavo , " first receiving the name Agruss in the former ' s online guide on StarWars . com . " Escape from Kadavo " introduced a continuity error involving Agruss ' s fate . In the comic conclusion to the story arc , the Keeper is arrested for his slaving activities ; in the TV conclusion to the story he is killed by Captain Rex . As " The Clone Wars " TV series constitutes a higher form of canon than the comic series , the events of the TV series take precedence , indicating that death is Agruss ' s canonical fate .
