During his tenure as a Jedi, Count Dooku became disillusioned by the Order. Craving power, he became the second pupil of Darth Sidious: Darth Tyranus. A clone army was secretly commissioned to ensure the protection of the Galactic Republic, but was actually part of a Sith plot to destroy the Jedi Order. Bounty hunter Jango Fett was recruited by Tyranus and was to be the genetic template for the army. Jango agreed, but had one request: the creation of a clone who Jango raised as his son, Boba Fett. Brainwashing cadets by telling them that the First Order should come
first above anything, Captain Phasma is a perfectionist who prefers operating in the field, often patrolling the halls of Starkiller Base to keep her senses sharp. For 10 years, Asajj Ventress was trained as a Jedi, but after the loss of her master, she became orphaned again, so she embraced the dark side, attracting the attention of Tyranus and being recruited to his side as an assassin. She blamed the Jedi for leaving her former master behind, so she waged war against them. Ventress was vindictive, but after becoming a bounty hunter, her attitude softened, incapacitating clones, which implied that not killing was her new MO.
To highlight her misunderstood status, she used a snake as the icon on
her armor; snakes are seen as evil, even when they’re
not.
General Grievous was the commander of the droids, known for his hacking cough. Grievous defeated many Jedi, maintaining a trophy collection: the lightsabers of those he slain. His
body was a weapon, allowing lightning quick strikes, but he was also quick to run from fights, a tactic
that worked until one final meeting with Obi-Wan. Darth Revan utilized many lightsabers during his lifetime: a cyan, red, and violet. Revan was extremely powerful, even as a Jedi Knight. After recovering his memories, he was able to channel both light and dark sides simultaneously; as a result, Revan could unleash the Force in its purest form. Darth Malgus was a fierce frontline warrior who specialized in using rage against his enemies. Aside from his overwhelming strength, he also performed acrobatics to enhance his lightsaber combat. In addition, Malgus perfected Force lightning to the point where he could unleash a maelstrom, a devastating combo of lightning and telekinesis. Malgus became more powerful than ever before
by eliminating his weakness: his lover, Daru. Her death allowed him to reach a mental state where he didn’t
feel as if he were drawing on the Force, but felt as if he were the Force, as if he merged with it; within this state, Malgus became virtually unstoppable. Seeing death as the sole purpose of life and power as the means
to achieve that goal, Darth Nihilus preserved his existence by having his spirit linger in
his mask. His reach in the Force extended to a point where he
can feel users of the Force throughout the galaxy to find planets he would cleanse entirely, killing all touched by the Force; prolonged use of this power made him a threat to everything, as his
craving grew more intense with each feeding.
