Asajj went to the Nightbrothers and engaged them in ritual combat, choosing Savage Opress as the most capable among them. Talzin and the Nightsisters then used their sorcery to transform Savage into a massive warrior, sending him to Dooku as his new apprentice.

When the plot failed, Talzin sent Savage deep into the Outer Rim in search of her lost son – Maul had survived his duel with Obi-Wan on Naboo and now dwelled, broken and insane, below the surface of the ruined world Lotho Minor.

Dooku took revenge on the Nightsisters for their betrayal, sending General Grievous and a droid army to wipe them out.

Ventress led the Nightsister defenses while Talzin and Old Daka called upon their greatest magicks, raising the Nightsister dead and afflicting Dooku with debilitating pain. But Grievous found and killed Daka, breaking the spells.

With the Nightsisters wiped out, Ventress was left alone and a defeated Talzin was forced to dissolve her physical form, seeking refuge in spirit form.

Talzin sought far greater powers than she’d ever possessed through the efforts of the Frangawl Cult, but was thwarted by Mace Windu and Jar Jar Binks, after which she vanished once more into the spirit world.

But hope remained for Talzin. Maul, her lost son, returned to Dathomir with a captive Dooku, whose living energies Talzin stole to return to the physical world. She confronted Sidious, exchanging blasts of Force lightning with the Sith Lord who had betrayed her, but was impaled by Grievous and slain. With his mother defeated, Maul fled.

After her sisters were massacred, Ventress sought her own path, becoming a bounty hunter. She returned to a desolate Dathomir to train Quinlan Vos in Nightsister magic, then died saving Vos from Dooku. A grieving Vos laid her to rest on her homeworld, alongside her sisters.
