==Biography==
=== Backstory===
Before a cyborg, Grievous was a Kaleesh warlord from the planet Kalee, Grievous was named Qymaen jai Sheelal. During this time, the warlord had toppled nations, slain legends, and killed kings. The Jedi and Galactic Republic later on slaughtered and wronged Qymaen's people which caused him to hate the Jedi and change his name to Grievous to avenge Kalee and grieve his people's death. Upgrading his body with cybernetics, Grievous and his people pushed the Jedi villains back but never forgot the atrocity the Jedi did as the Jedi became the sworn enemies of Grievous's people.
The heroic Grievous wanted vengeance against the villains and before the Clone Wars, he was allied with Count Dooku of Serenno. He never trusted him fully, believing that the new Confederacy would help end the Jedi for their wrong actions and since Dooku was a Sith, who were just as bad as the Jedi. Grievous chose to be rebuilt and have portions of his body replaced with cybernetics. As a cyborg, Grievous changed his personality, becoming fully heroic as he wasn't concerned for just his people, but for the Galaxy as well. He became the General of the Separatist Droid Army. He is a cyborg who liked using battle droids but he loses his patience with the droids for their stupid, annoying, and sassy actions and has been known to destroy them by smacking their heads off, cutting them in half, or smacking them off ledges. Grievous became the leader of the most powerful droid army the Galaxy has ever seen. The General was given his first new weapon by Dooku, a lightsaber belonging to a long-dead friend of a former Jedi.
Following the defeat of the Bitthævrians in the Kaleesh–Bitthævrian War, the victorious Kaleesh warlords took roggwarts as trophies from the Bitthævrian homeworld of Guiteica. One such roggwart came into the possession of Grievous, who named it "Gor." During the Clone Wars, Grievous kept Gor within his castle on the third moon of Outer Rim world Vassek. Gor served as a guard alongside Grievous's IG-100 MagnaGuard battle droids, and came to be loved by the general. Despite Grievous's affection for his pet, the cyborg understood that Gor's abilities as the castle guardian could be enhanced through the use of cybernetics, just as similar technology had improved Grievous's abilities. To that end, the general ordered his caretaker and medical droid, EV-A4-D, to attach four mechanical arms to Gor's back, and to graft exoskeletal armor to the beast's body.
The heroic Grievous given training with a lightsaber by Dooku himself, renowned for his swordsmanship dating back to his Jedi days. When it came to dealing out death, he was a voracious learner. For him, the differences in saber styles were simply military techniques to learn. Despite his lack in Force-sensitivity, he mastered several classic Jedi arts and was able to adapt quickly to an opponent's fighting style. His impressive, incredibly effective fighting style resulted from a combination of Dooku's and a combat program. The heroic Kaleesh spent hours on end watching holovids of Jedi in combat despite seeing them slaughter his innocent people and reading all the training manuals Dooku could supply him with. This could also be why Grievous knew so many of the evil Jedi's names when he encountered them.
Dooku trained Grievous in the combat arts of the Jedi Order, while the cyborg in turn taught MagnaGuards everything he learned. Even though Grievous's training was hard for the droids, with even those that survived ending up with burns and dents, the training created a terrifyingly effective force of droids. The heroic General Grievous inhibited the Magnaguards by assisted Kaleesh capes with mumuu marking and head wraps like a tribute to his destitute Izvoshra bodyguards also harked back to the warrior traditions of the planet Kalee. They also helped to give the IG-100 droids an even more menacing appearance.

==Personality, Abilities, Powers & Appearance==
===Personality===
When in his cybernetic body, Qymaen was gone and Grievous was born. As General Grievous, he is known to be a heroic being. He chose to become a cyborg for only two goals, rid the Galaxy of the sinister Jedi, and be the leader of the most powerful droid army the Galaxy has ever seen. Despite fighting for the Confederacy of Independent Systems, Grievous hates the Clone Wars, and only joined for his reasons of killing Jedi and not Dooku's political reasons and even kept the war going so he could kill more Jedi. Grievous also showed a certain amount of attachment to Gor, his pet roggwart, whom he doted on while housing at his lair on the third moon of Vassek. Grievous was visibly angered when the evil Kit Fisto killed Gor, citing it as another evil action for which the Jedi Order would pay dearly as they already committed genocide on his people. He also seemed to have a kind of bond with his caregiver droid EV-A4-D: though Grievous did snap or shout at him from time to time, he allowed the medical droid to criticize and even insult him without tearing him apart, as he would with any other droid in a similar situation. Grievous also cared about innocents such as his people and others in the Galaxy as they were being murdered by the Jedi Knights. Grievous is a wrathful and friendly hero as he knows his place in the Clone Wars as he is a hero of the Galaxy and a hero to his homeworld Kalee. Grievous is also known for his ruthlessness as a hero and he will not use mercy on his enemies, as seen when he engaged Fisto and Nahdar in his lair and on the clone base of Kamino. Grievous can be a very wrathful hero during the Clone Wars as seen various times as when he sent holograms of captured villains and stated that he only lived to see evil die. This heroic wrathful side is only seen if the Jedi or others such as Gungans, have wronged him, he will get very angry and try to kill his villainous enemies, making villains beware of Grievous's wrath. Grievous also is quick to anger as he has anger management issues due to him not tolerating insolence or disrespect but tries to maintain it as best he as he can.
On the battlefield, he is a very calculating and ingenious tactician knowing very good ground tactics and space tactics. On the ground, Grievous knows how to command his heroic forces and in space, he is the "Hyperspace Master" calculating every planet of the sinister Republic's and invading with his heroic fleets. Besides that, Grievous is also an excellent pilot and can pilot any craft such as his Soulless One fighter craft or even a evil Kaminoan ship which he stole during the Third Battle of Kamino. He is also very courageous in battle, leading his droid army in the front and sometimes plays the "Behind the Scenes" Hero role as seen where he commands the battles from the landing craft instead of full on fighting them. In space, Grievous does the same; Keeps his heroic Command Ship in the back while his smaller forces do the work. When in battle, the heroic Grievous is always determined to win against his sinister foes and always foil the evil plans of the Jedi.
For Grievous's dislikes, he dislikes the Jedi, the Sith (Dooku, Ventress, Krell, Nadhar, Obi-Wan, etc) and the Republic, due to them aiding the Jedi in killing his people on Kalee and being crazy towards everyone. While he hates the Sith for not being trustworthy, Grievous has respect for the Sith only for being warriors and not cowards like Jedi. Grievous utterly hates the Jedi and their evil Order for committing genocide on his people when he was a warlord. He exploited the Jedi's "compassion" for the clone troopers under their command, exemplified during his attack on the Kaliida Shoals Medical Center. What also fueled the heroic general's rage was that the entire Jedi Order hated him for no reason and wanted him dead which forced Grievous to fight other Jedi such as Anakin and Ahsoka. Another dislike of General Grievous is he dislikes lies and tricks as the heroic General has been tricked before by many villains.
He has an intense rivalry with evil Obi-Wan Kenobi as Obi-Wan started the rivalry when Grievous first met the infamous General Kenobi on the Malevolence. Grievous constantly wants to kill Kenobi face-to-face any chance he gets as he will even have traps set up for other Jedi just to face the sinister Kenobi himself. Grievous has almost killed Obi-Wan various times and the sinister Kenobi, just wants Grievous dead for no reason as much as his padawan Anakin Skywalker. There was one time where the hero Grievous showed mercy and honor as he spared Kenobi on Caliban. Grievous then forced the sinister Kenobi and his clones to build a bridge so the heroes and villains (Republic) can escape. Kenobi refused, stating that there was some "Galactic Accords" saying Grievous couldn't force prisoners to work but that was outlawed by the no Geneva convention in Star Wars meaning Grievous Hero could do whatever he wanted and still be a hero.
He has been treated badly by Nute Gunray, Count Dooku, Wat Tambor, and other CIS members such as his own Driver battle droids. He also cares for battle droids, as he chose to lead them in the Clone Wars, but he loses his patience with the droids for their stupid, annoying, and sassy actions and has been known to destroy them by smacking their heads off, cutting them in half, or smacking them off ledges. Count Dooku usually calls him out on. Later, he started caring about his droids since they are helping in some cases and started slapping them less as they were improved from the early part of the war. He also tends to do a lot of heroic laughs throughout The Clone Wars as seen various times.

==Trivia==
*He has a different counterpart who is all evil and is often confused with him. Grievous is an Outright Hero who does no evil. Do not confuse Grievous's heroic character and actions as "evil" because he's heroic.
*Idiotic people think Grievous is a "villain" because his evil counterpart, Legends Grievous was a villain in Star Wars Legends. However, since Star Wars Legends doesn't exist in Canon anymore, Grievous is a hero in Star Wars Canon and that just proves people are idiotic fools.
*Grievous is an Outright Hero as he does no evil. He is not an "anti-hero" or an "anti-villain" because his actions are pure heroic!
