And now we present to you 15 things that you did not know or even did not guess.
15. His real nameKimaen jai Shilal ( Qymaen jai Sheelal)
Until the general was discovered by Sidious, he was known as Kimaen Jai Shilal from the planet Kali. During his youth, the Yamr'ii from the planet Hook attack his home, wanting to enslave the inhabitants of Calais and plunder the planet. He became famous as a great fighter. The locals compared him to the god Demi. He fought shoulder to shoulder with Ronder, a female master swordsman. After her death, he became known as Grievous, which means mournful.
14.Darth Sidious ordered the explosion of Grievous' shuttle
Grievous and his people needed financial help, so Dooku was sent to the Intergalactic Banking Clan. The clan chief agreed to provide money if Grievous leads the droid army. Therefore, the shuttle was blown up, and the Jedi were the culprits.
13. His blood was mixed with that of Jedi Master Sifo-Diaz
During the explosion, Dooku was prepared to restore Grievous' vitality through the technique of cardiac arrest and mixing with frozen Jedi blood to stabilize his condition prior to arriving at Geonosis. According to some, Grievous became force-sensitive afterward.
12. He killed about 50 Jedi
Grievous hated the Jedi for that shuttle story and for his iron body. He became a slave to the separatists ─ full of revenge and hatred. Fierce hatred led to the deaths of 49 Jedi featured in Star Wars Legends. In the film, before being killed by Obi-Wan Kenobi, he was convicted of killing one Jedi, but portrayed that he killed more because of his collection of lightsabers.
11. He was a humanoid reptile
As you know, the world of Star Wars is rich in all sorts of representatives of alien races. Some of them are cute and fluffy, and there are also deadly ones. Kalishi have scaly skin in a reddish brown color that covers their bodies. Like Kalisha, General Grievous had four claws on his hand and five clawed legs. He could see in the dark due to thermal pits under his eyes and had long ears with extended nostrils.
10. Count Dooku considered him vile
Dooku and Palpatine considered humans the highest race in the galaxy, looking at droids and aliens. Because General Grievous was both, the elite considered him a lower-class citizen. According to Dooku, Grievous was nothing more than a droid and an abomination.
General Grievous also hated Dooku - at least at first - because of his attitude towards him, but respected him as a master because of his fighting ability and sword skills. Through the training and teachings of Darth Tyranus, he has learned to use lightsabers like no other weapon he has used before.
9. He was not Force sensitive
General Grievous was not a Jedi, Sith, or Force-sensitive. His ability to wield the four Jedi blades stemmed from his training with Darth Tyranus. However, his lightsaber skills were purely technical. To fully master the sword, the user's energy must fuse with the Kyber crystal, allowing the lightsaber to merge with the one using it.
8. He used to collect lightsabers from the Sith before he got involved in the Jedi.
In Star Wars legends, the twin sisters of the Dark Jedi Kaa and Leah infiltrated the cruiser Grievous and stole the swords presented to him by Count Dooku. Grievous found out about this and went in pursuit of the sisters. In the process, these swords were destroyed, and he vowed to begin collecting Jedi swords.
7. Grievous's personality has changed over time
Line of graphic novels "General Grievous" v Legends different from the one depicted in the prequels Star Wars and even Star Wars: The Clone Wars, animated television show. In the books, Grievous was a powerful, ruthless, and brilliant strategist who would do whatever was necessary to win the war. The version of Lucas that we see on film is powerful but weak, manipulative but terrified. Even in his famous battle with Obi-Wan Kenobi, he runs first than to corner the Jedi and force him to fight.
6. Voiced by George Lucas
George Lucas wanted to give Grievous a weakness, but he didn't know how. At the time of filming, Lucas was suffering from a cold and cough. This was a great chance to voice Grievous. The cough and wheezing were then intensified to appear more robotic and metal-like, but their origins were natural. George wasn't sure if he was going to use the tapes first, he just liked how it turned out.
5. Gary Oldman refused to voice Grievous
Oldman is best known for his roles as Sirius Black in the series "Harry Potter" and James Gordon in the trilogy "The Dark Knight"... Gary wanted to voice Grievous, but refused at the last moment. The voice recording was done without members of the Actors Guild.
4. Sun Hill funded and created the body of the cyborg General Grievous
Sun Hill was Mann, who looks a lot like Darth Plague but had nothing to do with him. As chairman of the Interstate Banking Clan, he provided the money needed for the war and served as the financial representative on the Separatist Council. The cyborg suit he funded built Grievous's brain and eyes into an alloy body that looked like a military droid. Hill then had his vital organs housed in a synthskin tie, as well as memories of Grievous.
3. Mace Windu worsened Grievous's cough
After Grievous kidnapped Senator Palpatine from his Jedi defenders, Mace Windu forcefully crushed the ribs surrounding Grievous's inner lung bag before Grievous and Palpatine boarded his ship. It damaged his lungs, making his coughs and wheezing much, much worse.
2. Grievous hated his new body
Grievous was a proud warrior of Kalish who was trained in the art of war. He hated his new body, which was 70% iron. He even accepted the title of Supreme Commander of the droid armies as an insult. He was so upset about his appearance that when Dooku handed him the lightsaber of Jedi Master Sipho-Dyas, he immediately destroyed every MagnaGuard that was in his vicinity.
1. There was a Grievous mask in Thrawn's collection
From the books of Thrawn (Legends) and the Rebels Star Wars it is seen that Great Admiral Thrawn collected various artifacts and art objects. He mainly did this to understand his enemy - to research his culture to understand how he would defend or attack during battle.
Thrawn also enjoyed collecting stories that mattered and were powerful. For this reason, adding the Cyborg Grievous mask to his collection was both exciting and honorable.

BiographyEarly lifeRonderLong before the birth of Kimayen Jai Shilala, his home planet was attacked by the insect race of the Yam from the planet Khak, which is at a higher stage of technological development than the Kalishians. Thanks to the technical superiority of the Yam, the Ries were able to capture their home system and establish colonies everywhere, without caring at all about the well-being of other inhabitants of these worlds. These insectoids were only interested in mineral deposits and other tradable fossils. They colonized and plundered planets such as Abbaji and Tovarskl. Since there was practically no valuable mineral raw materials on the desert Kali, they decided to turn the Kalish people into a commercial resource, trying to enslave them. Thus, the Khak war began (after the name of the native planet of the Yam "rii). Qymaen jai Sheelal was born in a world that has been at war for over a century. From an early age, his father taught him how to handle a rifle and soon the boy became an excellent sniper. By the age of eight, he had killed more than forty pits. ”After the death of his father, who died in battle, he inherited a mask made from the skull of a mumuu, which he practically did not take off. By the age of 22, he had killed so many invaders that he became a hero to his people like demigod. It was around this time that he met Ronderu Leigh Cammar, a woman who became his closest friend and possibly his only love. She wore a karabak skull mask and was a master swordsman. The nature of their relationship is unclear, some considered Ronder to be Kimien's half-sister, others thought that she was his lover. According to legend, Kimayen foresaw her appearance in one of his dreams, in which he hunted wild Mumuu in the Kanbal jungle. In this dream, he killed myumuu with a sword. League- the traditional weapon of the Kalish people. Kimayen was so caught up in his sleep that he went into the jungle for the vision to be true. There he first saw Rondera armed with two swords. League, and realized that it was she who was the hunter from his dream. Based on this legend, the Kalish people announced that Kimayen and Ronderu were the incarnations of the Dreamer and the Dreamer, from the mysterious legend of Shilal. Kiemaen and Ronderu spent several years together fighting alongside the Pit invaders. She taught him sword fighting, he showed her how to handle the Czerka Outland rifle. Together they were invincible - two demigods blessed by ancestors. In one battle off the coast of the Jenuwaa Sea, when they had to split up, Ronderu was killed. Her body, mutilated by the sharp limbs of the pit, was carried away by the waves. This death was a blow from which Kimayen was never able to recover. He went on a pilgrimage to the island of Abesmi, sacred to his people, to beg the gods for the opportunity to see Rondera again. The gods did not answer his prayers, and he returned to his people. In an attempt to forget Rondera, Kiemaen took ten wives for himself, who later bore him thirty children. But this did not help him get rid of his longing for Ronder, and then he changed his name as a sign that he would always mourn her. From now on, he began to be called Grievous (English grievous - sad, mournful). End of the Hack WarAfter some time, Grievous became the most famous and most brutal military leader of the Kalish people. The warriors he recruited, Izvoshra, killed Yam'riy by thousands, and soon they were forced to leave the planet. Not satisfied with what had been achieved, Grievous began to seize the Yam'ria colonies, destroying everything in his path and making no exceptions for civilian objects. After his forces took over the planet Tovarskl, the Yam'riy, in alliance with the Trade Federation, turned to the Republic for help. The Republican Judiciary Department, heeding the Trade Federation's request, dispatched a Jedi team to Tovarskl, led by Masters T "Chuka D" Un and Jmmaar. Under pressure from the Senate, a decision was made on the illegality of the Kalish residents, they were ordered to return the Yam'ria colony mir and pay a huge fine. So the Khak War ended ingloriously, and General Grievous, along with his elite Izvoshra had to return to Cali. Service with the Intergalactic Banking ClanKali, which had been fighting for over a hundred years, had no way to pay off her debts. She soon became hungry, and Grievous had to watch his wives and children die slowly. After a while, the chairman of the Intergalactic Banking Clan, Sen Hill, arrived on Kali, who offered to pay part of Kali's debts in exchange for the fact that Grievous would serve his clan. Grievous hated the idea of working as a bogeyman for MGBK competitors, but, of course, he agreed to Sen Hill's offer. He left his warriors on Kali and took command of a small army of droids belonging to the clan. He soon proved to be effective, collecting Ord Mantell's debt to the Banking Clan and taking over Phlut Design Systems. He missed his old army, but although the MGBK refused to recruit other Kalishians, with the consent of Count Dooku, Sen Hill provided Grievous with a new model of battle droids, the IG-100 MagnaGuards. Although Grievous was initially quite disappointed with the new droid model, further improvements to their software allowed him to train them to fight almost as well as his. Izvoshra. The birth of the cyborgDestruction of the "Martyr"After some time spent in the service of the IGBK, General Grievous learned that the Yam'rii had desecrated the military graves of the Kali on one of the colonial planets, and that the Galactic Republic chose not to notice this act of vandalism. He violated his agreement with the MGBK and returned to Kali to lead a new war against Yam'ria. San Hill was not surprised by this move. For some time he pondered the possibility of assassinating Grievous, but then decided to abandon such plans, because he was afraid of the general's retaliation if he survived the assassination attempt. Instead, he and the Geonosian Archduke Poggle the Lesser, with the support of Count Dooku, devised a different plan. An ion bomb was placed in General Grievous's ship, the Martyr, and detonated as the ship flew over the Jenuve Sea. Everyone who flew on this ship, with the exception of Grievous himself, was killed in the explosion, and he was picked up by the ship Dooku. Dooku stunned him with Force Lightning and instructed the MagnaGuards to transport him to Geonosis. TransformationA crippled Grievous came to life in a bacta chamber on Geonosis. Sen Hill invited him to lead a new army of droids, the largest the galaxy has ever seen, in exchange for a promise to end the hunger for Kali, but with the only condition that Grievous must become a cyborg. Grievous replied that he saw no point in fighting for the Confederation. After the torture had no effect, the surviving wives and children of Grievous were brought to Geonosis. Of course, the general agreed to all the conditions of the Banking Clan, asking only to leave him his own eyes. Scientists from Archduke Geonosis placed the organic portion of Grievous in a duranium enclosure, shaped like the ancient Krath battle droids, and capable of withstanding a fighter's laser cannon fire. Grievous's arms were able to split in two. Thus, the cyborg had four three-toed upper limbs, in each of which he was able to hold a weapon. Antigravs were mounted in his lower limbs to give him the ability to move along vertical planes. As promised, Grievous was left with his own eyes, only slightly modifying them to accommodate the new possibilities. The cyborg also cut out a new mask for himself, which resembled his father's mask made from the skull of a mumuu. Even the scientists of Poggle the Small had to modify the brain of Grievous, during which they removed some of the memories and changed his psyche. Part of the experiment to create a cyborg Grievous was the blood transfusion of Master Sifo Diaz. This blood helped him to survive during the transformation, but the general was deeply hurt by the fact that, despite constant transfusions of blood rich in midichlorians, he did not become sensitive to the Force. For Sen Hill and the Geonosis scientists, however, the entire experiment was an unheard of success. Kimaen Jai Shilal became the General Grievous whom the HoloNet would later call "Knight Slayer." In a few years, this same technology will be used to transform Anakin Skywalker into Darth Vader. Count Dooku made General Grievous the Supreme Commander of the Droid Army and gifted him with the first lightsaber, once owned by Magister Sifo Diaz. Despite all the benefits of his new body, any reminder that he was half droid was an insult to Grievous, and when Count Dooku remarked that it was unheard of for a droid to receive a lightsaber as a gift, Grievous destroyed several MagnaGuards in a rage, saying then the historical: “I'm not a droid. I am General Grievous. " Clone warGeonosis and Hypori.For the first time, General Grievous had to try his hand at the Battle of Geonosis, he defended the separatist leaders from the Jedi and clones. After killing Jedi Master Ur-Semu Du with his own hands, Count Dooku offered to teach him how to use lightsaber fencing. Soon, the general mastered all seven classical forms of fencing - up to the makashi and juo. General Grievous' first public appearance was the Battle of Hypori (21.7 BBY), in which Republic forces were defeated. Seven Jedi participated in this battle, four of them survived: Ki-Adi Mundi, Shaak-Ti, Ayla Secura and K. Krak. would not have been able to stay alive. Six months after the Battle of Geonosis, Count Dooku decided to stage a test for the general, forcing him to fight Asajj Ventress and Durga aboard the Count's Kolka space station. Grievous defeated both of them with ease in battle, proving himself worthy of the title of Supreme Commander of the Confederation. VictoryIn 20 BBY, Grievous launched a massive campaign called Operation Durghe Spear to take over the core worlds. Hundreds of planets along the Corellian Trade Route fell and the planet Daro was conquered, whose surrender to the government was broadcast across the galaxy by HoloNet. A large-scale bombardment of the planet Hambarin was carried out, as a result of which the vast majority of the inhabitants died, and the planet itself ceased to be habitable. In the Wimell sector, General Grievous ordered the use of biological weapons - the Loedorvian plague, which killed almost all of the people in the sector, including clones from the Republican army. Mindful of his duty to Cali, General Grievous led an army of droids to Tovarskle, wiping out the Yam'ria population entirely. In an attempt to protect the planet, the Jedi Purot and Nystammal were killed. During the three years of the war, the separatists captured the station of Bavhar, Nadiem, Togoria, Vandos and Belderon. In 20 BBY, Grievous kidnapped Cayenne, an Anx ambassador from Gravlex Med, to set a trap for the Jedi on the planet Vandos. Although Ambassador Cayenne escaped, this trap allowed Grievous to kill the masters of T'Chuk D'Oon and Jmmaar. After that, Padawan T'Chuka D'Oona Flynn Kibo and several other Jedi (B'Dard Thawne and Cody Tai) hunted Grievous, hoping to kill him. They found him on the moon Belsus in the Anoat system. As a result of this attempt, the Jedi Flynn Kibo and B'Dard Thawne were killed. Seven months later, at the Battle of Boz Pity (19 BBY), Grievous killed the Jedi Sun Bates and Master Adi Gallia. During the second Battle of Zagoba, Grievous almost managed to kill young Boba Fett, who survived by faking his own death. Also on Zagoba, Grievous killed Firkrann, one of the Iron Knights from planet Dvim. The end of the warDeath of General GrievousBy order of the Jedi Council, Obi-Wan Kenobi traveled to Utapau. He alone was able to kill several MagnaGuards and engage in a duel with General Grievous. The cyborg general began the fight with the Jedi with four lightsabers in his "hands", which he wielded very dexterously. During this time, the clones, led by Commander Cody, launched a full-scale invasion of the city of Pau. When the Jedi was able to chop off the two upper limbs holding the swords, Grievous tried to flee. After a lengthy chase, he and Obi-Wan ended up at the small airstrip where Grievous's ship was located. There the final battle took place. During the fight with Grievous, Obi-Wan Kenobi, having dropped his sword during the chase, was able to push the plates of Grievous' protective carapace apart. However, the general threw Obi-Wan Kenobi to the edge of the platform with a powerful blow. Obi-Wan hung in his arms over the abyss. At the last moment before another attack, Grievous, using the Force, managed to pull a blaster towards him, which he knocked out of the cyborg's clutches. The blaster bolts landed between General Grievous's armor plates. It exploded from the inside and shattered into small fragments. Thus ended the battle path of the famous general of the droid army. Partial revivalFollowing Order 66, the clones transported the remains of General Grievous and his ship Soulless (Starfighter Bellbulab-22) to a storage facility on Utapau. A few years later, they were discovered by the cyberneticist Nikolai Kinesworthy, and he created the droid N-K Necrosis from the cybernetic body of Grievous. Necrosis spent his short life in the Miidril Caves on Kashyyyk, and after a while was destroyed by a group of people who took away his weapons and everything that seemed valuable to them. Grievous' mask eventually ended up on the black market, where it was acquired by Imperial Navy Grand Admiral Thrawn for its outstanding artistic value. HeritageIn the era of the New Republic, General Grievous entered the pantheon of the Kalish gods, and a temple was built in his honor on the sacred island of Abesmi. It is known that the same cyborgization procedure was used at the Emperor Palpatine's Surgical Reconstruction Center to save Anakin Skywalker's life and turn him into Darth Vader, and to turn him into a cyborg Shira Bree (Lumiya). Talents and abilitiesGeneral Grievous was an outstanding general and an excellent strategist. He liked to mislead enemies with attacks that seemed illogical, but were actually cover for a more massive invasion. Part of his tactics were the destruction of civilian objects, to cause maximum damage to the enemy, who was constrained by the need to evacuate the civilian population. Grievous was a good duelist. Most of the lightsabers in his collection passed to him after the death of their original owners. Under Count Dooku's guidance, he studied all schools of lightsaber fencing and created his own special technique that suited his improved droid reaction. He was capable of fencing with four swords at once (given that repulsors were built into his lower limbs, he could theoretically hold six sabers, although he was never noticed in this), but he rarely used this ability of his. Also, despite not being Force-sensitive, he was able to deflect blaster shots with his lightsaber. With the exception of duels with the Jedi, Grievous avoided getting involved in battles, allowing the MagnaGuards to carry out their direct duties. List of slain JediBehind the scenes

A crippled Grievous came to life in a bacta chamber on Geonosis.

Seven Jedi participated in this battle, four of them survived: Ki-Adi Mundi, Shak-Ti, Ayla Secura and K "" Krak. If the ARC clones had not arrived on time under the command of Captain Fordow, then most likely none of the Jedi would have managed to survive.
Six months after the Battle of Geonosis, Count Dooku decided to stage a test for the general, forcing him to fight Asajj Ventress and Durga aboard the Count's Kolka space station.

In 20 BBY, Grievous kidnapped Cayenne, an Anx ambassador from Gravlex Med, to set a trap for the Jedi on the planet Vandos. Although Ambassador Cayenne escaped, this trap allowed Grievous to kill the masters of T'Chuk D'Oon and Jmmaar. After that, Padawan T'Chuka D'Oona Flynn Kibo and several other Jedi (B'Dard Thawne and Cody Tai) hunted Grievous, hoping to kill him. They found him on the moon Belsus in the Anoat system. As a result of this attempt, the Jedi Flynn Kibo and B'Dard Thawne were killed.
Seven months later, at the Battle of Boz Pity (19 BBY), Grievous killed the Jedi Sun Bates and Master Adi Gallia. During the second Battle of Zagoba, Grievous almost managed to kill young Boba Fett, who survived by faking his own death. Also on Zagoba, Grievous killed Firkrann, one of the Iron Knights from planet Dvim.
The end of the war
In 19 BBY, Darth Sidious gave Grievous information about the secret hyperspace paths. This allowed the general to lead the fleet of the Confederacy of Independent Systems to Coruscant. As the battle began, Grievous headed IG-100 to the planet's surface to capture Supreme Chancellor Palpatine. He first went to the Chancellor's residence in the Republic 500, where he was forced to fight Mace Windu. After the battle moved to the roof of the magnetic levitation train, Windu managed to throw General Grievous down. But this did not stop the general, he managed to get to the Chancellor's apartment and capture him. All the Jedi who provided Chancellor Palpatine's safety were defeated (Roron Korobb, Fole Moudama, Roth-Del Mason and Bink A "Trila were killed. Only Shaak-Ti survived).
Mace Windu, in an attempt to rescue the Chancellor with the Force, injured Grievous' chest, causing extensive damage to his internal organs. This greatly worsened the already poor condition of the airways and lungs of the cyborg (the scientists of Archduke Geonosis failed to finally solve the problem of the compatibility of organic and inorganic parts of the body, and General Grievous was forced to suffer from coughing fits since the beginning of the Clone Wars). But even though he was wounded, Grievous was able to complete his mission of bringing Chancellor Palpatine aboard the Invisible Hand, his flagship.
To rescue Chancellor Palpatine, Mace Windu sent the Jedi Obi-Wan Kenobi and Anakin Skywalker to the cruiser General Grievous. They were able to break into the ship and infiltrate the chamber where the captured Palpatine was. Here Obi-Wan Kenobi and Anakin Skywalker fought Count Dooku. Obi-Wan Kenobi was thrown aside by the Count and appeared to be killed, while Anakin Skywalker was able to cut off both of the Count's arms. Spurred on by Palaptin, he chopped off the head of the disarmed Count. After that, they freed the Chancellor and tried to escape, but were trapped in one of the ship's corridors. They were taken to Grievous on the bridge of the Invisible Hand. On the bridge, the Jedi used Skywalker's droid R2-D2 to kill all the MagnaGuards, forcing Grievous to flee from his own ship. His escape pod was picked up by one of the Separatist ships.
After Count Dooku's death, General Grievous became head of the Separatist
The film was voiced by Matthew Wood. According to the DVD, George Lucas instructed his creative team to create the enemy that heralded the transformation of Anakin Skywalker into Darth Vader: heavy breathing, cyborg body, and his seduction to the evil side.
Despite his appearance, General Grievous was very dangerous with his lightsabers, taking them from Jedi slain by his own hands. Combined with his cybernetic body, capable of wielding five lightsabers at once (one of which he wielded a leg, the other maintained balance), he became a mortal foe for the Jedi.

There are 2 scenario explanations for why Grievous has lung problems:
The first reason was that the technology of cyborgization was still imperfect, and his transformation into a cyborg was an important step forward.
The second reason was the damage to the chest of Grievous by Mace Windu during the Battle of Coruscant (in the second season of the cartoon "The Clone Wars") there is a coughing Grievous.
The very cough of Grievous was instigated by the cold of George Lucas, who found it interesting to add a new element to the character's image.

Star Wars: The Clone Wars
General Grievous was bred as the main villain in the television series. Star Wars: The Clone Wars which began airing in 2008 on Cartoon Network. The secret of Grievous' strong cough is also revealed there.
For the first time in a television series Star Wars: The Clone Wars In 2008, he appears aboard the new Separatist flagship Sinister, later shot down by Anakin Skywalker and his Padawan, Ahsoka Tano. Shortly thereafter, Grievous plans an attack on the planet Kamino to destroy the production of clone soldiers for the Republic. But a fleet of Star Destroyers was sent out, and Grievous was forced to retreat. He also wanted to steal the R2-D2 droid, which Anakin and his Padawan interfere with. In his last appearance in the first season, he fights Kit Fisto and Nakhdar Webb in his lair. At the start of the last episode, Grievous is portrayed through three statues showing him up to the point of becoming a cybernetic droid.
The General appeared in the second season in the episode "The Grievous Intrigue" which aired on January 1, 2010, after more than one year's absence.
Grievous kidnaps Jedi Council member Jedi Master Iita Kota. The triumphant general sends a message to the imprisoned owner, saying that he does not think about the Jedi and their politics: he only lives to see the Jedi die. Following the transmission, a Republic rescue team was quickly convened, led by Obi-Wan Kenobi, Anakin Skywalker, and Adi Gallia.

Abilities and skills
While General Grievous lacks Sith superpowers, he makes up for it with exceptional agility, reaction, and strategy. Grievous has a lot of experience in battles with the Jedi (if you take into account the fact that he killed about 100 Jedi). Also, General Grievous is masterful with lightsabers, as taught by Count Dooku, using 4 at the same time. His cybernetic body is capable of bending in any direction, which makes him even more dangerous, but still, Grievous often prefers to escape, feeling the superiority of the enemy.
Expanded universe
Books
Much of General Grievous's story is described in James Luceno's Labyrinth of Evil.
During the Khak war between the Kali and the Yam'ria insect race, an appeal was made to the Republic to settle the dispute. Since the world of Hak was richer in natural resources than the barren world of Kali, the Republic supports Hak and sends several Jedi Knights to intervene on her behalf. Grievous (not yet a cyborg) and his army give way, and their home planet remains in ruins.
Grievous becomes Chief Security Officer of the Intergalactic Banking Clan. Sen Hill, the clan leader, notices Grievous's strategic genius, fearlessness, and other talents. He mentions him to the leader of the Confederation of Independent Systems, Count Dooku. Together with Darth Sidious, they try to persuade him to join their army. Despite the generous offers, Grievous declines.
An ion bomb was planted in General Grievous's ship by his employers. Mortally wounded and mutilated, Grievous recovered in a bacta chamber on Geonosis. Hill offers him the chance to live again in a cybernetic body and lead the Confederate army into battle. He initially resists, but Hill ultimately convinces him, turning to his desire for revenge. Dooku teaches him how to use lightsabers. The metamorphosis is over, making Grievous a fearsome warrior in the Separatist army. Judging by the novelization by Matthew Stover, Grievous does not know that Chancellor Palpatine and Darth Sidious are one person: he addresses Sidious via interplanetary communication with the question: "Why did you not let me kill Chancellor Palpatine?"
Asked the art department of Lucas Films to design what he described as a "droid general." Since the original description was the most general, a huge amount of concept art was born, painting Grievous either as a completely mechanical creation or as a cyborg.
The original character design was developed by artist Warren Fu (eng. Warren fu), who later drew the comic strip General Grievous: The Eyes of the Revolution. Then the layout was redrawn, and a little later a sculptural image 30 cm high was made, then a computer model was created, which at that time was one of the most complex models created "
