SW5e : Clone Wars

A tall, elderly human male with silver hair and a well-groomed beard, Count Dooku wears elegant red-trimmed dark robes that signify his noble heritage. His piercing blue eyes reflect a sharp intellect and a commanding presence. He wields a curved-hilt red lightsaber, custom-forged for his Makashi style, and carries himself with an air of authority and grace.

Count Dooku is a charismatic and intelligent figure, often seen as a necessary evil in his quest for a stronger galaxy. He is articulate, philosophical, and possesses a deep disdain for the Jedi Order, believing them to be out of touch with the true purpose of the Force. His arrogance and hubris often lead him to underestimate others, and he is driven by a fear of becoming irrelevant. Dooku is a master manipulator, using his charm and intellect to navigate the political landscape of the galaxy.

Count Dooku was born into the ruling family of Serenno and was given to the Jedi Order as a child. He trained under Master Yoda and became a respected Jedi Master, but left the Order disillusioned by its passivity and the corruption of the Republic. Adopting the Sith name Darth Tyranus under Darth Sidious, he became the leader of the Separatist Alliance, orchestrating the Clone Wars to destabilize the Republic. Dooku secretly commissioned the Kaminoan clone army and trained General Grievous in lightsaber combat. His relationship with Asajj Ventress became strained as Sidious demanded her elimination. Ultimately, he was betrayed by Sidious during a confrontation with Anakin and Obi-Wan aboard the Invisible Hand, leading to his execution.
