History Characters / StarWarsVsWarhammer40KConfederacyOfIndependentSystems

* HeroicWannabe: His backstory is that he was a wandering Kaleesh warrior who wanted to become a Jedi. However, he lacked the Force-sensitivity and the compassion needed to become a Jedi since he only sought to become a Jedi because he wanted to wield their Force powers for himself. Obviously he was rejected by the Jedi Order on the spot with the Jedi Temple Guards refusing to even grant him an audience with the Jedi High Council.

* MurderByInaction: When the Imperials start bombing Raxus Secundus's surface, Grievous doesn't care that the Separatist Senate is on the planet and makes next-to-no effort to rescue them, instead internally thanking the Separatist Senate for their "sacrifice".

* ADayInTheLimelight: Gets a POV segment at the start of Episode 31 which, among other things, gives insight into Dooku's inner thoughts and how he views himself, the Jedi, and Palpatine.

The Supreme Commander of the Confederacy of Independent Systems droid army. Grevious was a Kaleesh Warlord with a grudge against the Jedi who was recruited by the Sith to lead the Separatist war effort. [[spoiler:In reality, however, he is actually not the real Grievous but a Kaleesh who hated the Jedi because they wouldn't let him join the Order.]]

* PreMortemOneLiner: Says one to Brother Araknus after stabbing the Astartes through the heart with his lightsaber, right before he finishes Araknus off by twisting his lightsaber and cutting through the side of his second heart.
->'''Dooku:''' You lost the war before you started, fool.

* IKnowKarate: As he prepares to battle Tasleon aboard the bridge of a disabled Imperial Cruiser, Grievous says this after seeing Tasleon dispatch his Magnaguards.

* OvershadowedByAwesome: For all the jokes that are made about how much of a GeneralFailure Grievous was in ''[[WesternAnimation/StarWarsTheCloneWars The Clone Wars]]'', this fic depicts him as being a competent tactician. This version of Grievous mentions having led Operation Durge's Lance, widely regarded as the Confederacy's greatest and most successful military campaign in the ''Legends'' continuity. Throughout his appearance in Episode 31, he behaves analytically (gathering intelligence on the Imperials' capabilities before going to fight them), employs cunning tactics (such as spreading out his fleet's formation to negate the [[SplashDamage effects]] of the Imperial Nova Cannons), and shows long-term thinking (compiling a list in his head of which CIS worlds he should prioritize defending after learning of the Crimson Razors' plan to divide their fleet and hit all of the Confederacy's most important worlds simultaneously). As a warrior, this Grievous is also not half bad; he's a FrontlineGeneral able to turn the tide of a battle with his presence and is even shown to be a match for Tasleon in a direct fight. Tasleon is a Techmarine who had just earlier destroyed an entire squad of [[EliteMooks Magnaguards]] singlehandedly. Unfortunately for Grievous, the enemy commander he was up against happened to be a centuries-old Chapter Master who totally outclassed him in every way imaginable. [[spoiler:And that's not even getting into how much this imposter pales in comparison to the real deal.]]

* AdaptationalBackstoryChange: Has a completely different backstory than his ''Legends'' counterpart for why he hates the Jedi. In ''Legends'', Grievous was once a highly-beloved military leader who led his enslaved people to rebel against a predatory alien species, only to then be subjugated by the Jedi when said predatory aliens played the victim and deceived the Jedi into helping them quash their slaves' uprising. Here, he was just some random warrior who envied the Jedi's Force powers until the Jedi rejected him for not being Force-sensitive, leading to a lifelong obsession with destroying the Jedi for this perceived slight. [[spoiler:The real Grievous averts this by having the exact same backstory that he had in ''Legends''.]]

* NotSoHarmlessVillain: Downplayed. Dooku himself was never portrayed or treated as harmless in any sense of the word, but his first physical appearance in the series comes after the Confederacy had been subjected to MakeWayForTheNewVillains by the Imperium, who had basically replaced them as the antagonists of the Clone Wars. Dooku's appearance in Episode 24 sees him easily defeat Brother Araknus, who had previously bested Admiral Trench in Season 1 and had been on a winning streak since then, reminding everyone that the Sith are still a serious threat even if they are no longer the main focus of the story's conflict.

* MasterSwordsmen: Dooku is regarded as one of the greatest swordsmen in the Galaxy, having mastered multiple forms of lightsaber fencing. He proves his credentials by killing an entire squad of Space Marines, admittedly picking them off one at a time and being exhausted after doing so.

* AristocratsAreEvil: Dooku is the Count of Serenno and has no problems with murder, genocide, betrayal, and helping to start a pan-galactic war that has claimed billions. Upon seeing him for the first time, Araknus can't help but compare his aristocratic attire and his imperious attitude with that of Inquisitors and Lord Generals he's met in the past, and those guys [[{{Understatement}} aren't exactly nice.]]
