Case File 02 / Psychological Report
A Kaleesh warlord remade into a Separatist cyborg general, Grievous turns bodily ruin into anti-Jedi spectacle, military terror, and trophy-taking domination.
General Grievous is injury converted into performance. His mechanical body is not only survival hardware; it is a theater of intimidation that lets him appear more weapon than person.
He hunts Jedi as symbols. Lightsabers become trophies because they let him possess the prestige of enemies he despises. His psychology mixes battlefield pragmatism with theatrical sadism: he wants victory, but he also wants witnesses to feel hunted before they fall.
