Talzin/Legends

Mother Talzin was the Dathomirian leader of a Nightsister coven of witches during the Clone Wars. The coven was located at a village on the planet of Dathomir.

Biography
Mother Talzin was forced to take the infant Asajj Ventress from her mother and give her to the Siniteen criminal Hal'Sted as payment sometime prior to the Clone Wars in order to protect the clan. Sometime later Dooku helped Talzin out of some manner of predicament.

During the galactic conflict known as the Clone Wars, Talzin took in a wounded Ventress after she landed on Dathomir to escape Dooku. She then helped ventress in her quest of vengeance against the count by providing her with two other Nightsisters, Naa'leth and Karis, the ability to be invisible, and a poison dart to dull the Counts senses.

After Ventress's failed attempt, Talzin contacted the count. She provided a male Zabrak Nightbrother called Savage Opress, the brother of the Sith Darth Maul, to become a Dark Acolyte after Darth Sidious ordered the Count to kill Ventress. Talzin was capable of utilizing magic and used it to alter the abilities of Savage Opress. Talzin's coven had a close relationship with a clan of Nightbrothers. She later sent Savage on a quest to find his brother who was hiding in exile in the Outer Rim Territories.

Behind the scenes
Mother Talzin is voiced by Barbara Goodson.

Talzin's look was based on the "Nightsister Sith witch", an unused piece of concept art from Star Wars Episode I: The Phantom Menace for what would become Darth Maul.
