- "The Cauldron opens. The Sith reborn."
- ―Darth Skrye, in a vision to Dooku
Darth Skrye was a female[1] Sith Lord[2] who held the title of Darth[1] in a Force vision of many possible colliding futures experienced by the Jedi Padawan Dooku after encountering the last coven of the Presagers of Hakotei during a mission to the planet Asusto[1] in 82 BBY.[3] In the vision, Dooku heard Skrye announcing that the Cauldron was opening and that the Sith were reborn, alongside the sound of a planet tearing in two and a large explosion. As the vision continued, Skrye's voice overlapped with many others[1] until Dooku emerged, having killed the Presagers with Force lightning.[4]
When questioned about his vision by Jedi Master Lene Kostana, Dooku told her that he had seen the Sith, but Kostana reassured him that what he had witnessed were only possibilities that could be prevented. Dooku later documented the events on Asusto in his journal.[4] Around 23 BBY,[5] Dooku allowed his recently recruited Sith assassin, Asajj Ventress, to find his journal during her investigation into his sister Jenza's location, and she listened to the portion that mentioned his vision[4] of Darth Skrye. Skrye shared their name with the Hand of Skrye, an artifact uncovered by Kostana and her Padawan, Sifo-Dyas, prior to the Asusto mission.[1]

- ↑ Star Wars Made Easy establishes that the title of Darth is given to Sith Lords. As the Dooku: Jedi Lost script establishes that Darth Skrye held the title, they must therefore be a Sith Lord.
- ↑ Dooku: Jedi Lost establishes that the mission to Asusto took place immediately following the funeral of Countess Anya, which Star Wars: Timelines dates to 82 BBY.

- ↑ Dooku: Jedi Lost establishes that Asajj Ventress has recently been recruited by Dooku. Star Wars: Timelines dates Ventress' recruitment by Dooku to 23 BBY, therefore placing the present day events of Dooku: Jedi Lost to around 23 BBY.
