Grievous

video File:Placeholder
General **Grievous** (グリーヴァス, *Gurīvasu*), is both a fictional character and antagonist of the *Star Wars* series created by George Lucas. He was the Supreme Commander of the CIS' Droid Armies and was one of the most feared beings in the Galaxy during the Clone Wars. In the *Star Wars* "Legends" universe of non-canon novels, comic books, video games and animated series, Grievous was a Kaleesh warlord names **Qymaen jai Sheelal**, who suffered great and severe injuries in a ship crash. From there, most of his body was replaced with machine and was then rebuilt as an alien cyborg.

He mastered and trained in all lightsaber combat forms because of his hard training with the Sith Lord Count Dooku to rival the Jedi of the Galactic Republic, and soon became a deadly threat even to all the Jedi. He was the general of the Separatist Droid Army during the Clone Wars, and later the head of state of the CIS for a short period of time after the death of Count Dooku.

"*I'm no errand boy. And I'm not in this war for Dooku's politics. I am the leader of the most powerful droid army the galaxy has ever seen!*"

—General Grievous, to Obi-Wan Kenobi.

## Personality

"*The general's description of your tactics have been 100 percent accurate today. Very impressive, even by my standards.*"

—TV-94, impressed by Grievous's military tactics.
Grievous was cold, cruel, sadistic, ruthless, brutal, immoral, reckless, restless, loyal, short-tempered, calculating, and very intelligent.

Though Grievous had virtually no compassion for comrades, allies or enemies, he was not completely heartless and emotionless as he did occasionally show empathy; Grievous cared deeply for his people, especially for his female partner Ronderu lij Kummar. The two were very close, and after her death, Grievous was left distraught and angry. His rage only intensified, and he became determined to crush the Huk, if for no other reason than to honor her memory.

Though he hated being told what to do, Grievous was very loyal and respectful to others in his side of the alliance, especially Count Dooku and Darth Sidious. Grievous also showed a certain amount of attachment to his pet Roggwart Gor; he treated the beast like a beloved pet rather than a monster, and was visibly shocked and angered by his death at the hands of Kit Fisto. Gor's death left Grievous evermore hateful of the Jedi.

Despite his intelligence and fighting skills, or perhaps because of them, Grievous was arrogant to the point of occasionally underestimating his opponents. This pride, as well as his other negative traits was what eventually lead to Grievous' death at the hands of Obi-Wan Kenobi.
