  • Moral Event Horizon: Either Mother Talzin crossed it when she deliberately sent the under-trained Feral (who's strongly implied to be her youngest son) into a warzone where Grievous and at least two Jedi generals were active, on a mission with a very high chance to see him dead or captured by people having good reasons to hate his guts for his affiliations...
    • Or she crossed it when she casually tells Savage (who's already screwed up from breaking his baby brother's neck under the Dark Side's influence) that Feral's unability to become a fully-fledged Sith warrior means she would feel no remorse in imprisoning him within the Nightsisters' temple, to be raped until he sires a child.
  • The Woobie: Star Wars: The Clone Wars wasn't nice to its characters.
    • Feral is the purest example of one. He has been taken as a sacrifice by the Nightsisters, forced to see his beloved brother fall under the sway of self-loathing and bloodlust, genuinely thinks his siblings would abandon him to die for being "weak" (i.e. a decent person) and is currently forced to reevalute the path he took as potentially wrong, which would mean renuncing his family. Oh, and Wolffe just won't stop being a jackass to him.
    • Savage is from the jerkass variety. Under the bloodlust, poor guy hates himself for failing his baby brother and is terrified of something hurting said brother again, but his way to vent this is to drive Feral away.
    • Wolffe also belongs to the jerkass variety. Yes, he's a complete tool to someone who really doesn't deserve it, but he's also struggling with untreated PTSD from losing his brothers and justifiable paranoia about losing anyone else since he's fighting in a galactic war.
