History
Star Wars: The Clone Wars
During the war, Grievous was put in charge of the Separatist warship called The Malevolence, which possessed a powerful ion cannon capable of obliterating entire Republic fleets. Grievous destroyed several fleets on the Malevolence and Jedi general Plo Koon eventually took a fleet to deal with Grievous, but his fleet was no match for the ion cannon of the Malevolence.
Koon and a few of his troops survived but were faced with ships sent by Grievous to destroy the Republic escape pods. Koon and his men were eventually rescued by Jedi Knight Anakin Skywalker who then delivered news of the weapons to the Republic.
Later, Count Dooku gave Grievous permission to attack a Republic medical station in the Kaliida Nebula. However, upon arrival, Anakin and a fleet of Republic ships emerged from hyperspace to defend the medical station and destroy the Malevolence. Grievous had no choice but to engage Anakin's fleet in battle, then aimed the ion cannon at the medical station and ordered his droids to open fire. Before they could fire, however, the Republic fleet attacked and disabled the ion cannon and caused it to explode, angering Grievous. Grievous demanded his battle droids to repair the ion cannon immediately, which they complied to do.
Eventually, Obi-Wan Kenobi, a Jedi Grievous faced many times throughout the war, attacked the Malevolence. Grievous ordered the Malevolence to escape into Separatist space. Dooku then contacted Grievous and informed him that Senator Padme Amidala was tricked into heading into the nebula and suggested he capture her and escape. When Amidala's ship arrived, the cyborg successfully captured the senator via tractor beam, leading his forces to the hangar to apprehend the hostage. Eventually, the Jedi emerged victorious with Senator Amidala being rescued and the Malevolence destroyed, and Grievous had to leave.
General Grievous continued to fight at many battles in the war, up to the Battle of Coruscant during the Outer Rim Sieges when he captured Supreme Chancellor Palpatine.
Personality
Grievous was cunning, vicious, and destructive. He had no remorse for killing people, especially the Jedi, since he was the ultimate Jedi killing-machine. Grievous also wanted to kill all of the Jedi but for some reason, spared Shaak Ti during his final operation.
