Serving as Count Dooku's most-trusted assassin, Asajj Ventress was a lithe beauty possessing both serpentine grace and lethality. Though she was not officially a Sith apprentice, Ventress had clearly been well-trained in the arts of lightsaber dueling and Force manipulation. If Dooku's Master, the terrifying Darth Sidious, ever found out about Ventress' "education," the consequences would be dire for both teacher and student.

Power-hungry and cunning, Ventress took great delight in toying with her victims before she killed them. Using her exotic allure, Ventress often distracted her opponent before dispatching him. One notable exception was the Jedi Master Obi-Wan Kenobi, who consistently proved immune to Ventress' "charms," though he never missed an opportunity to banter with his formidable adversary.

Her confidence masked a lifetime of enduring cruel hardships that purged any compassion from her cold heart. She had a fierce survival instinct forged in the ceaseless dangers of her bloody homeworld that kept her on the dark path.
