STARWARS GENERAL GRIEVOUS AND OBI-WAN KENOBI

General Grievous, born Qymaen jai Sheelal, was a Kaleesh male warlord who served within the military forces of the Confederacy of Independent Systems as a commanding officer during the Clone Wars in the final years of the Republic Era. In addition to his position as a general within the Separatist Droid Army, the Kaleesh held the title of Supreme Martial Commander of the Separatist Droid Armies throughout the duration of the war, in which he led countless engagements against the Republic's Grand Army. Recognized for his ruthless tactics and extensive cybernetic enhancements, #GeneralGrievous utilized the Separatist Droid Army and his adept combat skills to instill fear throughout the galaxy as he traveled to and invaded planets, while also engaging numerous Knights of the Jedi Order, his sworn enemies. A native of Kalee, a planet within Wild Space, Sheelal grew to become a fearsome warrior of his people and gained an aptitude for warfare and battle tactics when he led his people during Kaleesh's war against their technologically-advanced enemies, the Yam'rii, invading from the planet Huk. Qymaen jai Sheelal took the name "Grievous" and looked to the stars and continued his conquests, quickly attaining the title of warlord, earning the bloody reputation on his homeworld. For years, Grievous would be accompanied on his travels and battles by the Izvoshra, a team of personal bodyguards. Eventually, the Sith Lords Darth Sidious and Darth Tyranus, also known as Dooku, the Count of Serenno, who recruited many brutal fiends to join them, learned of Grievous' reputation. In time, he led his Kaleesh forces, with renewed ferocity and determination on the offensive, and brutally pushed the Yam'rii from their world. However, the Yam'rii unexpectedly ask the Galactic Republic and Jedi Order for assistance, leading to the Kaleesh's punishment and famine, resulting in Grievous developing an enduring grudge. Dooku and Sidious, who had significant plans for Grievous, learned of his exploits while he was working as an enforcer for the InterGalactic Banking Clan. Sometime later, members of the Executive Separatist Council of the newly-formed Confederacy of Independent Systems led by Dooku conspired to mortally wound Grievous in a bid to convert him into a super-cyborg subservient to their cause. Dooku's agents sabotaged Grievous's shuttle, which resulted in a gruesome crash that left the man on the brink of death. Grievous was offered conversion into an enhanced cybernetic being by the Sith, who were interested in experimenting with technologically advanced beings. His remaining vital organs implanted into a powerful robotic body, after the majority of his organic body was destroyed, but over time he gradually started to make considerable improvement to his cybernetic body. The reconstructed Grievous became a skilled lightsaber duelist under Dooku's guidance, who trained the Kaleesh in the arts of lightsaber combat and eventually welcomed him into a position as a warrior in the Confederacy. Shortly after the advent of the Clone Wars, Grievous was granted the rank of general, as well as the title of Supreme Martial Commander of the Separatist Droid Armies, making him one of the most powerful people within the Separatist Alliance, second only to his master Dooku. Grievous wielded his skills as a brilliant military strategist and melee combatant during numerous campaigns against the Republic throughout the Clone Wars while also gaining a reputation for hunting and killing Jedi Knights. He made a habit of claiming the lightsabers of defeated Jedi as trophies and weapons to be used against other opponents. His position and threat level led to his preeminence as one of the Republic's primary targets throughout the course of the war. As the war played out, Grievous found a personal nemesis in Jedi Master Obi-Wan Kenobi, whom he dueled on numerous occasions. Days before the end of the war in 19 BBY, Grievous, under orders from Darth Sidious, launched a daring and unprecedented assault on the planet Coruscant, the capital world of the Republic. In his assault, the Kaleesh managed to take the Republic's Supreme Chancellor, Sheev Palpatine -in reality secretly Sidious himself- captive aboard his flagship, the Providence-class Dreadnought Invisible Hand. However, during the battle, the Chancellor was rescued from the general's grasp by Jedi Generals Obi-Wan Kenobi and Anakin Skywalker, an engagement that also resulted in Dooku's death. Subsequently, Grievous became the de facto leader of the entire Separatist Alliance and immediately withdrew of all remaining reinforcements and fled into the Outer Rim Territories, prolonging the war. Following the Battle of Coruscant, Grievous, succeeding Dooku as the Confederacy's Head of State, retreated to the planet Utapau where he addressed and relocated the members of the Executive Separatist Council to the planet Mustafar under Sidious's orders. However, unknown to the general, Grievous's location on Utapau was betrayed by Sidious, resulting in a Republic invasion of the planet in an effort to bring a decisive conclusion to the war. As a result, following a prolonged chase between the two, Grievous was ultimately slain by his nemesis, General Kenobi, which resulted in the war's conclusion as well as the Confederacy's systematic collapse.
