Dark Acolyte

Dark Acolyte was a title held during the Clone Wars by certain disciples of the Sith Lord Darth Tyranus, the Sith persona of Count Dooku. Asajj Ventress, Sev'rance Tann, and Savage Opress held the title during their time under Dooku.

As an agent of the Confederacy of Independent Systems' leader, a Dark Acolyte had commanding authority over forces in the Confederacy military. In at least the case of Ventress, she was further identified as a Sith acolyte. Tann and other Acolyte members participated in the First Battle of Geonosis. After losing Opress, Tyranus would go onto take on another apprentice, the fallen Jedi Quinlan Vos. In conversation with Ventress, Tyranus claimed Vos was a full Dark Lord of the Sith instead of a mere acolyte, yet Vos would ultimately betray Tyranus. In this text The Secrets of the Sith, Tyranus' Sith Master Darth Sidious identified Ventress, Oppress, and Vos as Dooku's three dark disciples.
