Asajj Ventress is born into a clan of Nightsister witches on the planet Dathomir.

~49 BBY - Given away as a child

As a young child, Ventress is handed over to the criminal Hal'Sted and taken offworld, where she ends up enslaved. (Elements of this early backstory, including her time on Rattatak, originate in Legends material.)

~40 BBY - Trained by a stranded Jedi

After her master's death, she is discovered and trained in the ways of the Force by the marooned Jedi Ky Narec, whom she later loses to violence — a loss that drives her toward the dark side.

By the outbreak of the Clone Wars, Ventress serves Count Dooku as a dark-side assassin and Separatist commander, clashing repeatedly with Anakin Skywalker, Obi-Wan Kenobi, and Ahsoka Tano.

~21 BBY - Betrayed by Dooku

Fearing her growing power, Dooku orders her killed. Surviving the betrayal, Ventress returns to Dathomir and rejoins Mother Talzin and the Nightsisters, plotting revenge.

~21 BBY - Massacre of the Nightsisters

General Grievous leads a droid army that slaughters the Nightsister clan. Ventress survives but is left without her people, becoming a wandering bounty hunter.

Now a bounty hunter, Ventress crosses paths with Ahsoka Tano and helps clear the framed Padawan's name during Ahsoka's flight from the Jedi Order.

~19 BBY - Dark Disciple and sacrifice
