Savage

Savage Opress was a powerful Dathomirian Zabrak Nightbrother who became a feared practitioner of the dark side of the Force during the Clone Wars. Originally a tribal leader on Dathomir, Opress was handpicked by the Nightsister Asajj Ventress to become her mate and servant, as part of her bid for revenge on her former Master, the Sith Lord Count Dooku. After being the only Nightbrother to pass Ventress's grueling tests of Selection, Opress was taken to Mother Talzin and her Nightsister witches, who employed their dark magic to grant him fearsome abilities and placed him under their control. To prove his now-imbued loyalty to Ventress, Opress murdered his younger brother, Feral, whom he had protected for his entire life. Entering the ongoing war on the side of Dooku's Confederacy of Independent Systems, the formidable Opress served as a Dark Acolyte during missions against the Galactic Republic at Devaron's Temple of Eedit and on Affa. Opress became a Sith apprentice to Dooku, who intended to use his new acolyte to overthrow his own Master, Darth Sidious, and claim control of the galaxy.)

While Opress was subjected to brutal Sith training under Dooku's charge, Ventress prepared to pit the monstrous Nightbrother against Dooku. However, when Ventress's crusade for revenge culminated at Toydaria, she and her ex-Master found that neither of them could contain Opress's impulsive nature and boundless rage. In what became a three-way lightsaber duel, Opress overcame his indoctrinated allegiance to Ventress and broke free from his dual service to the Sith Lord and the jilted Nightsister. After further battling his way through Jedi Knights Obi-Wan Kenobi and Anakin Skywalker, Opress returned to Dathomir, where he learned from Mother Talzin that he had another brother aside from Feral: the former Sith Lord Darth Maul. With Talzin's blessing, Opress set off for the far reaches of the Outer Rim to recover his exiled brother, whom he hoped could help him become strong enough to defeat Ventress, Dooku, and any agents of the Jedi Order. Opress found the weakened Maul on Lotho Minor, and after helping him regain his memories via a talisman from Talzin, he brought him back to Dathomir.)
