Count Dooku, later known as Darth Tyranus, is a major antagonist in the Star Wars franchise. He was once a Jedi who trained under Grand Master Yoda, before becoming a Jedi Master himself, and took Qui-Gon Jinn in as his Padawan.
Eventually, however, he fell to the dark side of the Force and became a powerful Sith Lord as the second apprentice of Darth Sidious, as well as the founder and Head of State of the Confederacy of Independent Systems. In turn, he would become the master of both General Grievous and Asajj Ventress. He is also the perpetrator of the Clone Wars, orchestrated by Sidious, with Tyranus manhandling and coordinating Sidious' plans on his behalf.
Despite his antagonistic role, he appears in the 2022 Disney+ animated anthology series Star Wars: Tales of the Jedi as the main protagonist of the episodes "Justice", "Choices" and "The Sith Lord".
He was famously portrayed by the late Sir Christopher Lee in all his film appearances, while in the Clone Wars animated TV series, he was voiced by Corey Burton.

- Count Dooku never really wanted to be a villain, he was actually tricked by Emperor Palpatine this whole time.
