- "You must be Skywalker. My name is Trenox. You've been causing us some trouble. But I assure you, your efforts are futile. It might be time to rethink your path, my boy. The age of the Jedi is at an end!"
- ―Trenox
Trenox was a Force-sensitive Human Dark Acolyte who served as one of Count Dooku's devoted apprentices during the Clone Wars. Trained personally by Dooku in the refined Form II lightsaber combat style, he became a skilled and ruthless duelist, wielding a crimson blade with precision and pride. During the Coruscant Insurrection, he aided his master in orchestrating chaos across the lower levels of the city and accompanied him in a covert infiltration of the Jedi Temple. There, Trenox crossed paths with Jedi Knight Anakin Skywalker, and after a fierce and prolonged duel within the temple's halls, the Dark Acolyte was ultimately struck down by the future Darth Vader.
Biography[]
A bald Human male, Trenox was a Force-sensitive Dark Acolyte who wielded a crimson-bladed lightsaber and was known for his mastery of Form II, the classical Makashi style of lightsaber combat. Trained personally by Count Dooku during the Clone Wars, Trenox became one of the Separatist leader's more capable and ambitious followers, serving both as an assassin and a battlefield commander. Like many of Dooku's acolytes, he was driven by a deep devotion to the Count's vision of order through power and refinement in the ways of the dark side. His skill with a blade and ruthless efficiency earned him a fearsome reputation among Separatist officers and a place in several covert missions directed by Dooku himself.[2]
In 20 BBY,[1] Trenox participated in the Coruscant Insurrection, a large-scale diversionary attack orchestrated by Count Dooku to draw the attention of the Jedi Order away from his true objectives. Stationed in the lower levels of the ecumenopolis, Trenox commanded waves of Separatist droids—including cortosis battle droids—whose specialized armor could resist lightsaber strikes. Amidst the chaos, he clashed briefly with Jedi Knight Anakin Skywalker in the congested undercity. During the pursuit, Trenox fled to Bentho's Nightclub, using the dense crowds and narrow alleys to evade capture. At one point, he threatened local diner owner Dexter Jettster, who managed to escape unharmed before the acolyte turned his attention back to his pursuer. Though Trenox fought fiercely against Skywalker within the nightclub, he was forced to retreat once more, commandeering a passing speeder in a desperate attempt to lose the Jedi amid the city's sprawling skylanes.[2]
Despite his failed attempt to outmaneuver Skywalker, Trenox continued to serve Dooku loyally. Later on, he accompanied his master during a covert infiltration of the Jedi Temple on Coruscant—a mission intended to sabotage the Temple archives and further weaken the Republic's defenders. Inside the Temple's shadowed corridors, Trenox again confronted Anakin Skywalker. The ensuing duel was fierce and protracted, with the acolyte demonstrating the elegance and precision of Dooku's Makashi teachings. Ultimately, however, his skill proved insufficient against Skywalker's raw power and aggression. The Jedi Knight struck him down, ending Trenox's service to the Separatists and extinguishing yet another of Dooku's dark disciples.[2]
Personality[]
Trenox was known for his loyalty to Count Dooku and his disciplined approach to combat. Trained in the refined Makashi form of lightsaber fighting, he demonstrated precision and control in battle. He carried out Dooku's orders without hesitation and engaged Jedi opponents with confidence. Though capable and determined, Trenox's skills ultimately proved insufficient against Jedi Knight Anakin Skywalker, who defeated him during the events of the Clone Wars.[2]
Powers and abilities[]
Trenox wielded his lightsaber like a club, and roared to intimidate his opponents. He was able to knock Anakin Skywalker down with a casual nudge of the Force, render him momentarily unconscious, and could break through Anakin's Form V with his brute strength. Dooku had also taught Trenox the more refined Form II.
