Dark Acolyte

Dark Acolyte was a title held during the Clone Wars^[5] by certain disciples of the Sith Lord Darth Tyranus, the Sith persona of Count Dooku. Asajj Ventress,^[1] Sev'rance Tann,^[6] and Savage Opress held the title during their time under Dooku.^[1]

As an agent of the Confederacy of Independent Systems' leader, a Dark Acolyte had commanding authority over forces in the Confederacy military.^[2] In at least the case of Ventress, she was further identified as a Sith acolyte.^[3] Tann and other Acolyte members participated in the First Battle of Geonosis.^[6] After losing Opress,^[7] Tyranus would go onto take on another apprentice, the fallen Jedi Quinlan Vos. In conversation with Ventress, Tyranus claimed Vos was a full Dark Lord of the Sith instead of a mere acolyte, yet Vos would ultimately betray Tyranus.^[3] In this text The Secrets of the Sith, Tyranus' Sith Master Darth Sidious identified Ventress, Oppress, and Vos as Dooku's three dark disciples.^[8]
