The disruption of the Frangawl ritual ruined Talzin’s plans – as Windu watched, the Nightsister matriarch vanished into green mist than dissipated in the wind.

After Darth Maul escaped from captivity on Stygeon Prime, Talzin sensed the endgame of her feud with Sidious and his minions was approaching. She told Maul to lead his forces to Ord Mantell, where she’d sent Nightbrothers to assist the Sith renegade. Victory, she promised, was at hand.

Maul’s forces captured Dooku and Grievous, to Talzin’s satisfaction – now Sidious would come, and her revenge would be at hand. In preparation, she offered Dooku an alliance, and told him her great secret: Maul was her son, stolen from her by Sidious and later betrayed – as Talzin had been, and as Dooku would be.

The alliance was short-lived. Maul brought Dooku to Dathomir, where Talzin began to drain his life force, a ritual that would allow her to regain her own physical form. But Sidious arrived on Dathomir with General Grievous, determined to confront Talzin himself. The former allies clashed in a ferocious contest of dark-side magic, but Talzin couldn’t withstand the combined strength of Sidious and his minions. She urged Maul to flee and then fell to Grievous’s lightsabers.
