Savage Opress

Savage Opress was a Force-sensitive Dathomirian Nightbrother who became a Sith Lord apprenticed to Count Dooku and later his brother Darth Maul during the Clone Wars. Originally a tribal warrior on Dathomir, Opress was handpicked by the Nightsister Asajj Ventress to become her "mate" and servant following her grueling tests of Selection, as part of her bid for revenge on Dooku, her former master. In accordance with their plot against the Count, Mother Talzin and her Nightsister witches employed their dark magicks to grant Opress fearsome abilities, placing him under their control. After murdering his brother Feral in a display of loyalty to Ventress, Opress entered the Clone Wars as a dark acolyte, serving as an enforcer in Dooku's Confederacy of Independent Systems.
However, Opress soon saw he was being used by Ventress and betrayed both her and Dooku before fleeing, being guided on a quest by Mother Talzin to seek out his lost brother, Maul. Opress was led to the junkyard world of Lotho Minor, where he found his brother half-mad. He brought his brother back to Talzin, who restored both his mind and his legs, before leaving the pair together as Maul became reconnected with the changed world around him. He and Opress then embarked on a quest of death and chaos, seeking vengeance on Jedi Master Obi-Wan Kenobi, also coming into conflict with Kenobi's apprentice Jarik Shan as a result. While battling Kenobi and Shan on Florrum, Opress lost his arm due to the pair's quick thinking and cunning, prompting Maul to end the fight by blasting the Jedi away with a Force push.
Seeking to take everything Kenobi loved from him, Maul conquered Mandalore and killed his former lover, Duchess Satine Kryze. Opress stood by his brother as he enacted his revenge, but they were soon faced by Maul's old master, Darth Sidious. Sidious fought Maul and Opress, and ultimately killed Savage Opress in battle, leaving Maul to mourn his brother's death.
