History[]
Creation[]
Legends Grievous was created by Darth Sidious as a means to replace Grievous Hero as Sidious and Dooku grew tired of Grievous's heroics. Legends Grievous was soon activates and quickly trained in lightsaber combat by Dooku and Sidious. He would soon be ready to replace his heroic counterpart and kill the Jedi.
A few months after he was built, he met with AD-W4 in means to kill the heroic cyborg Grievous and later AD-W4 was dispatched to kill Grievous but failed, prompting Sidious to send Legends Grievous to Dooku. Dooku then ordered the new "Grievous" to kill the heroic Grievous at Kashyyyk. Legends Grievous took his sinister orders and went in a ship to Kashyyyk.

Fighting against his heroic counterpart[]
He arrived at the Battle of Kashyyyk, and fought heroic Grievous. Grievous was most surprised by the sinister counterpart but attack the villain with his four arms and lightsabers. Legends Grievous evilly laughed and told Grievous Hero he was no match for the new "Grievous". Grievous kicked the sinister droid to the ground which made Legends Grievous angry and charge at the hero. Grievous Hero then punched the villain in the face and laughed heroically at the new "Grievous". They continued to fight only a brief time before the heroic Grievous realized his target, Kae Tae Tae, was escaping. He left to deal with the sinister Jedi, while Legends Grievous made his escape after fighting several BX-series droid commandos that were trying to stop him.
Reporting back to Dooku[]
After failing to kill Grievous Hero, Legends Grievous reported back to Dooku and said he had failed. Dooku, displeased in the new "Grievous's" failure, told him to return to Serenno and Legends Grievous did.
Getting Killed by Grievous Hero[]
Legends Grievous was at Count Dooku's palace when Count Dooku arrived. Dooku told him he needs to kill Grievous Hero but Legends Grievous complained saying Grievous Hero was far too strong and ever-elusive and Dooku brought up the fact that he was built to kill Grievous Hero. However, a B1 battle droid entered and told Dooku that Grievous Hero arrived and he and his heroic droids IG-101, IG-102. Super's Battle, STAP Battle & TV-94C entered the throne. The sinister Legends Grievous got his lightsabers ready as he knew something was up.
Grievous Hero then ordered his droids Super's B & STAP B to attack Dooku while he dealt with the sinister Legends Grievous as he thought battle droids with lightsabers were interesting and Grievous Hero replied it was as he kicked the villain to the ground. After a brief duel, Legends Grievous was killed when Grievous Hero cut his head off after he had enough of the villain. The death of Legends Grievous was a blow to Dooku and his master Darth Sidious as they had built the sinister villain to replace the heroic Grievous.

Battle of Coruscant[]
Legends Grievous led the Confederacy starfleet in an all-out attack on the Republic capital, using secret hyperspace routes given to him. During the battle, evil Legends Grievous ordered diversionary tactics, such as sending suicide squadrons of Vulture Droids to cause chaos in the city and to terrorize the citizens. As a result there was chaos in the city-planet, as Jedi and Clone troopers tried to defend against the Battle droids, but were unsuccessful.
After capturing the Chancellor successfully, Legends General Grievous held Supreme Chancellor Palpatine hostage aboard his flagship Invisible Hand. After a rescue operation results in Count Dooku's death at Anakin Skywalker's hands, Legends Grievous retreated from the battle after the Jedi infiltrated his command bridge and later took command over the Separatist Council.
Utapau and Endgame[]
Now the Republic's top priority, Legends Grievous took refuge on the sinkhole planet Utapau, in the Separatist Council's base, inside the Unlimited Projection. Under orders from Darth Sidious, Legends Grievous relocates the Council to the volcanic planet Mustafar. After Palpatine authorized an invasion of Utapau, Legends Grievous engages Obi-Wan Kenobi in a lightsaber duel. When Kenobi gains an early advantage, Legends Grievous flees the scene towards his starfighter with Kenobi hot on his heels. The chase ends at Legends Grievous's secret hangar where the pair fight hand to hand. Making use of his robotic-droid body, the General had the clear advantage in the brawl and prepares to kill Kenobi but the Jedi Master managed to rip open his chestplate in the process. Using the Force to pull Legends Grievous's blaster to him, Kenobi fires five shots into the droid's heart, incinerating him from the inside and finally destroying him.
At some point after his death, Clone troopers recovered Legends Grievous's' body, and stored it in the recently-captured Unlimited Projection.

Trivia[]
- He is all evil, unlike his heroic counterpart which is also confused as him in the normal Star Wars and in the story.
- He is basically the Legends Grievous from the Legends universe but in this story, he is built to replace Grievous Hero and play on the fact that there's a difference between a heroic Canon Grievous who's fighting for the Galaxy and his people vs a villain Legends Grievous just made to be a machine and kill Jedi.
