Grievous

Grievous, born as Qymaen jai Sheelal, was a Kaleesh male warlord who served as a commanding officer in the forces of the Confederacy of Independent Systems during the fall of the Galactic Republic. Although he was known by his rank as a general, Grievous was the Supreme Commander of the Separatist Droid Army that engaged the Grand Army of the Republic throughout the pan-galactic conflict of the Clone Wars. Noted for his ruthlessness and extensive cybernetic enhancements, Grievous inspired fear as he traveled across the galaxy, invading entire worlds and engaging the Jedi Knights of the Republic.
A native of the planet Kalee, Grievous sustained severe injuries that required extensive repair by the time of the Clone Wars. Willingly submitting to a procedure that rendered him more mechanical than organic, he became a living weapon, granting him lightning-quick reflexes and devastating strength. Though he was neither Jedi or Sith, nor even sensitive to the power of the Force, Grievous was a skilled lightsaber duelist, having trained under the fallen Jedi Master-turned-Sith Lord Dooku. Known for his hatred of the Jedi Order, Grievous killed Jedi over the course of the war, and would claim their lightsabers both as trophies and weapons to be used against other opponents, be they Jedi or clone troopers. In addition to his combat skills, Grievous was a brilliant military strategist who oversaw multiple campaigns throughout the Clone Wars—from the Battle of Kamino, where he failed to halt the production line of clone troopers; to the Battle of Dathomir, where his battle droids massacred the Nightsisters led by the witch Mother Talzin.
In 19 BBY, Grievous launched a daring raid on Coruscant, the capital of the Republic, resulting in the abduction of Supreme Chancellor Sheev Palpatine. However, the Jedi succeeded in rescuing the Chancellor while driving back the Separatist invaders. Following the loss of Dooku, Grievous and his army went into hiding in the Outer Rim Territories. Unknown to Grievous, Dooku's master, the Sith Lord Darth Sidious, betrayed the General's location to the Jedi Order, allowing them to invade the planet Utapau in an effort to bring a swift and decisive conclusion to the war. As a result, Grievous was ultimately slain by Jedi General Obi-Wan Kenobi, whose 212th Attack Battalion went on to secure Utapau even as Order 66 went into effect, marking the fall of the Republic and the rise of the Galactic Empire.
==Personality and traits==
Grievous was known for his cruelty and ruthlessness and was seen as the Separatists' finest general. Given his reputation, Grievous was feared throughout the galaxy as a strategic genius and for his hunting prowess.
Grievous had little understanding of the Force, though he believed the improvements made to his own body gave him a greater power than that of the Jedi. This left him with little knowledge of the Force and a severed connection to its energy, which he replaced with an appetite for destruction, especially of the power he did not truly comprehend. However, transforming his body into a fighting machine left Grievous' organic anatomy weak inside his armor.
Grievous' hatred for the Jedi was well known throughout the galaxy and stated by him on many occasions. A feared Jedi hunter, Grievous was especially known for his brutality and ruthlessness. Grievous always insisted on fighting the Jedi personally when possible, displaying a mild form of recklessness as well as restlessness despite suffering injuries. However, he was also quick to run from a fight when the tide turned against him.
Throughout the course of the war, Grievous's hatred of Jedi would be most notorious against his two rivals, Jedi Master Obi-Wan Kenobi and his Padawan Jarik Shan; Grievous hated both of them more than any other Jedi, and was always irritated by Shan's constant jokes and childish insults directed at him.
