Although the duo’s dark partnership first resulted in a failed attempt to kill Dooku on the planet Raxus, Ventress came to Vos’ aide and rescued him from Dooku’s capture on Serenno, the Count’s homeworld, after working with Anakin Skywalker and Obi-Wan Kenobi to infiltrate the Separatist stronghold. But with Vos’ return—and his seeming conflict over falling to the Dark Side wholly in the wake of his capture—Ventress found herself alone once more, albeit now with a pardon from the Jedi Order for her past as a Separatist agent.

Eventually, Ventress reunited with Vos in secret, unable to avoid the connection they had forged together, and she rejoined him in a final effort to assassinate Dooku—taking her back to one of the earliest fronts of the Clone War on the planet Christophsis. Engaging the count in a duel to the death, while Republic Forces assaulted the Separatist armies on the world, Ventress found herself taking a blast of Force lightning intended for Vos after he found himself unable to commit to killing Dooku—and falling to the Dark Side entirely. Dying in his arms, Ventress’ sacrifice redeemed Vos in the light, at the cost of her own life, and her body was returned to the waters of Dathomir for eternal rest.
