Name: Count Dooku

Rank: Dark Lord of the Sith

Tier: High 0

Background: Count Dooku, also known as Yan Dooku, with full name being Count Yan Dooku Serenno is a Force-sensitive Human male former Jedi Master who fell to the dark side of the Force and became a Dark Lord of the Sith, formerly known as Darth Tyranus. Born into a noble family on the planet Serenno, he was the heir to vast wealth and the noble title of Count. Dooku was taken in by the Jedi Order as a child and apprenticed to Grand Master Yoda himself. As a Jedi Knight, he took Qui-Gon Jinn as his second Padawan, with Rael Avarross being the first, and later trained Komari Vosa. Dooku was a respected instructor in the Jedi Temple and one of the most renowned swordsmen in galactic history, surpassed only by Grandmaster Yoda and equal to Master Mace Windu.

Dooku spent nearly sixty years as a Jedi, but after he intervened in the Serrenian Civil War caused by his brother Ramil, he would depart the order and ascend to the mantle of Count of Serenno after Ramil's demise. He communicated frequently with Supreme Chancellor Palpatine of Naboo after his departure, debating politics and discussing policy. In due time, Palpatine slowly began corrupting Dooku and conspiring for him to become his new apprentice, albeit secretly his plans for him were to be a tool and a stepping stone for the fall of Anakin Skywalker. Dooku turned to the dark side and became a Dark Lord of the Sith himself, with his new master bestowed upon him the Sith title of Darth Tyranus. He would continue to use this title during his tenure under Sidious and for a few years after, eventually dropping the title altogether after seeing it as a reminder of Sidious and his mistakes from that era.

Reclaiming his birthright as Count of Serenno and his vast fortune, Dooku conspired with Sidious to force the galaxy into a war that would bring the Sith to power. He forged ties between corporations and planets discontented with the Republic, and became the leader of the Separatist movement that coalesced into the Confederacy of Independent Systems. Thousands of star systems flocked to Dooku's banner and seceded from the Galactic Republic.

As the political leader of the Confederacy, Dooku led the organization against the Republic in a conflict that would become known as the Clone Wars. He would train many in the years of the wars, including most notably Asajj Ventress and General Grevious. Alongside commanding the military, Dooku would oversee the Separatist Parliament and as a result be seen as the most recognized face of the Confederacy. In addition to the military and political side of things, he lead a small contingent of darkside adepts, known as the Dark Acolytes. He would pledge himself to Palpatine and use the acolytes for his bidding during this period. However, after the return of long dead Sith Lords from the past, he would attempt to overthrow Palpatine with their help, but Sidious was aware of the plot and acted first, wiping Dooku's mind of his existence and the details of the Sith Grand Plan. With his memories gone, he would lead the Confederacy onward in an all out war against the Republic.

After a solo exploration of a ruined Sith Temple on a planet in the Styngian Caledra, Dooku recovered two holocrons. From the first holocron, a memory was restored to him which taught him of the ability of Essence Transfer. Testing his luck and embracing his considerable arrogance, he opened the second holocron which taught him the Telekinetic Lightsaber Combat Technique. Ironically enough, it would be this second holocron that would destroy his original body in a explosion of great magnitude after it deemed him a threat to the galaxy. Using the technique of Essence Transfer in a desperate panic, he was able to survive and transfer into the body of a young adult, which he would inhabit for a short while. Relived yet shocked to still be alive, he would contact Axis requesting a clone body of a younger version of himself, which he would receive a few months later. Once again at an age of physical prime, he would find that it would his powers could reach highs once beyond his imagination...

• Balance = Pragmatic Fallen. Midichlorian Count = 17,735

Equipment: Dooku’s Lightsaber; Armourweave Cloak; Holocommunicator

Weaknesses: Very vulnerable to blaster fire due to his overall reliance on Makashi (Check Makashi section). Very arrogant and is typically sure of victory. Will not do as well against strong attacks from a Force User due to Makashi’s reliance on subtle moves, but can still fight well against that kind of strategy. Dooku refused to use anything but Makashi in blade-on-blade combat, and you would never find him using Ataru or Juyo unless the circumstances were life-or-death. Dooku cares deeply for his wife Cassandra as well as his home planet of Serenno, and this can be used against him in combat to the extreme, though the boomerang effect should be noted.
