With former Sith assassin Asajj Ventress due to appear in Bad Batch season 3, I wanted to take a look back on the character's full history, from her origins in Genndy Tartakovsky's 2003 series Clone Wars, to her apparent death in the novel Dark Disciple...
From Wookiepedia:
Asajj Ventress was a Force-sensitive Dathomirian female who was, at various points throughout her life, a Nightsister, a Jedi Padawan, an assassin of the Sith, a commander in the Confederacy of Independent Systems military and a bounty hunter.

P.S. I know I left out Dooku Jedi Lost. I kept debating whether to include it or not, but 95% of the story is about Dooku as a character and it's only really the last few minutes that ties her part of the story together, so I ultimately left it out. I loved Dooku Jedi Lost, but it's not necessary for Ventress' story, and this video was already so long.
