to be with his troops, but Hill tells him he won't survive the trip, and proposes an experimental new treatment. Sheelal is interested in getting back, and is apathetic towards the Separatist "New Order", but nonetheless accepts the offer. Dooku senses shallowness in his allegiance, and orders Poggle the Lesser to leave Sheelal in the tank for some more time. Dooku then shows Pggle his old Jedi friend Sifo-Dyas, who was cryogenically preserved. Months later, Dooku gives Sheelal Sifo-Dyas's lightsaber as a gift, and reports to his master Darth Sidious, saying that the experiment was successful. Sheelal lost his carnality, but still has anger, vanity, and a good mind for strategy. The newly christened General Grievous, enraged at being called a droid, used his new lightsaber to kill all of the MagnaGuards surrounding him. This origin story for General Grievous was later declared non-canon and changed in The Clone Wars animated series. While Grievous is still shown to be a former Kaleesh warlord, it is implied that he volunteered to be turned into a cyborg so that he could more easily kill Jedi.
