Grievous's father

The title of this article is conjectural. Although this article is based on canonical information, the actual name of this subject is pure conjecture.

A male individual^[1] was the flesh-and-blood^[2] father of the Kaleesh^[1] male^[3] Qymaen jai Sheelal,^[1] later known as Grievous,^[4] born into a family^[2] on the Wild Space^[5] planet Kalee, an inhabitant^[6] of the reptilian^[7] Kaleesh species.^[6]

The Kaleesh and the Yam'rii,^[1] their planetary neighbor,^[8] an insectoid species^[9] of the desolate planet^[10] Huk,^[11] were engaged in an almost continual war. The father taught Sheelal how to handle^[1] a slugthrower,^[12] the Czerka Arms Outland rifle, and by the time he was eight years old,^[1] he served as a sniper,^[12] having already killed forty enemies. As matured, Sheelal was regarded as a legendary figure by the Kaleesh.^[1]
