Asajj Ventress is a fictional character
from the Star Wars Expanded Universe. She is Anakin Skywalker's arch
nemesis during the first season. She is named after the character
Asaji from Akira Kurosawa's Throne of Blood. Ventress is a Dark Jedi,
and one of Count Dooku's Force-attuned apprentices and assassins. She
is a powerful warrior with exceptional combat abilities, and desires
most of all to join the Sith order and destroy the Jedi. She has many
distinctive Sith tattoos and wields dual curved red lightsabers. Her
lightsabers can attach together at the hilt, forming a double bladed
weapon with a curve in the middle.
She hails from the planet of Dathomir.
She was sold by the nightsisters to criminals and spends her early
years in Rattatak. She would have likely been killed in a pirate raid
if not for the Jedi Ky Narec, who had crashed on Rattatak. Narec
sensed the potential of Ventress, and so he trained her in the ways
of the Jedi. However, the warlords of the planet become concerned by
the duo's prowess and under the leadership of Osika Kirske they kill
Narec before Ventress can become a full-fledged Jedi. She develops an
implacable hatred of the other Jedi who had abandoned her master and
ignored the bloodshed on her planet.
