'''Biography:'''<br />
Dooku was a Jedi Master who fell to the dark side of the Force and became the Dark Lord of the Sith, known as [[Darth Tyranus]]. Born on the planet [[Serenno]], he was the heir to vast wealth and the noble title of Count. Dooku was taken by the Jedi Order as a child and apprenticed to [[Thame Cerulian]]. As a Jedi Knight, he took [[Qui-Gon Jinn]] as his first Padawan, and later trained [[Komari Vosa]]. Dooku was a respected instructor in the Jedi Temple and one of the most renowned swordsmen in the galaxy. Only Masters [[Yoda]] and [[Mace Windu]] were considered his equals. 

Dooku spent nearly seventy years as a Jedi, but a disastrous battle on [[Galidraan]] shook his faith in the Order and the Galactic Republic. He fell under the influence of Senator Palpatine of [[Naboo]], and left the Jedi Order. After learning that Senator Palpatine was secretly the Sith Lord [[Darth Sidious]], Dooku turned to the dark side and became a Dark Lord of the Sith himself, replacing [[Darth Maul]] as Sidious's second apprentice. His new master bestowed upon him the Sith title of [[Darth Tyranus]]. 

Reclaiming his birthright as Count of [[Serenno]] and his vast fortune, Dooku conspired with Sidious to force the galaxy into a war that would bring the Sith to power. He forged ties between corporations and planets discontented with the Republic, and became the leader of the Separatist movement that coalesced into the Confederacy of Independent Systems. Thousands of star systems flocked to Dooku's banner and seceded from the Galactic Republic. 

As the political leader of the Confederacy, Dooku led the organization against the Republic in a conflict that would become known as the Clone Wars. He recruited and trained four of his greatest warriors to lead the Separatist Droid Army: [[Durge]], the brutish [[Gen'Dai]] bounty hunter; [[Asajj Ventress]], Dooku's protégé and Dark Jedi apprentice; General [[Sev'rance Tann]], [[Chiss]] commander and Dark Acolyte; and [[General Grievous]], the infamous Jedi-slaying cyborg and droid leader. 

The war culminated in a great battle over the Republic capital of Coruscant. In a duel aboard the Separatist flagship [[Invisible Hand]], Jedi Knight [[Anakin Skywalker]] defeated Dooku. Skywalker then executed the dismembered and helpless Dooku at the instigation of Supreme Chancellor Palpatine, Tyranus' own Sith Master. He would quickly be replaced by the very man who had killed him, [[Anakin Skywalker]], who would soon fall to the dark side and be transformed into the fearsome [[Darth Vader]].<br />
