Rook Kast

Rook Kast was a human female Mandalorian warrior who lived during the rise of the Galactic Empire. A member of the reactionary Death Watch terrorist group during the Clone Wars, she led its Shadow Collective loyalists during their reorganization as the Collective's Mandalorian Super Commandos. After Maul, renegade Sith Lord, leader of the Shadow Collective, and ruler of Mandalore, was imprisoned by the Sith Order on Stygeon Prime, Kast and fellow commando Gar Saxon freed Maul and returned him to one of their bases on Zanbar. They were tracked by the forces of the Confederacy of Independent Systems and, in the ensuing battle, fled to Ord Mantell, from which they repelled a Separatist attack. Kast and Maul captured General Grievous in orbit, while Maul's ground forces captured the Separatist Head of State, Count Dooku.
The Shadow Collective relocated their prisoners to a Mandalorian asteroid base, which was assaulted by the Galactic Republic and the Jedi Order in an attempt to capture Maul, Dooku, and Grievous themselves. Kast, Maul, Dooku, and some of Maul’s forces fled and set a course for Dathomir. They were tracked by his and Dooku's Master Darth Sidious, who fought alongside Dooku and Grievous to destroy the Shadow Collective forces. Kast recovered Maul from the battle, and they fled the planet. 
Later, Kast participated in the Siege of Mandalore and helped lure an unsuspecting Ahsoka Tano into the undercity of Sundari. There, she and other Super Commandos surrounded the former Jedi Padawan for Maul, but she eventually managed to escape. Shortly afterwards, the Super Commandos managed to capture ARC Trooper and Clone Lieutenant Jesse and interrogated him. After his interrogation, Maul managed to rally the Mandalorian Super Commandos for one last push, but this led to their defeat and Kast's capture at the hands of Lady Bo-Katan Kryze.
The subsequent occupation of Mandalore by the Galactic Empire saw Kast regain her freedom as a member of the Imperial Super Commandos, during which she fell in love with Count Lorka Gedyc, leader of Clan Gedyc, and supported Saxon's appointment as the Imperial Governor of Mandalore by Darth Sidious. Their trust in Clan Saxon would begin to fade, however, following Saxon's death at the hand of Countess Ursa Wren during an ill-attempted purge of Clan Wren, and the subsequent ascension of Gar's more anti-traditional younger brother Tiber as Governor of Mandalore. Consequently, Kast and Gedyc conspired with Imperial Security Bureau Marshal Gideon on possible actions against both the Mandalorian resistance — composed of Clans Wren and Ordo — and Tiber during the Mandalorian Civil War. 
Though Tiber's death in battle against the forces of the Mandalorian resistance and their Rebel allies initially proved advantageous to Kast and Gedyc in ensuring their consolidation of power as rulers of Mandalore, increasing resistance to the Imperial military occupation by the Mandalorian rebels — which expanded with the entry of several Mandalorian clans and reorganized into the Alliance of Mandalore — after the Liberation of Lothal led Darth Sidious to order the Great Purge of Mandalore, beginning with Gedyc's death by Gideon.
