Talzin

Talzin was the Dathomirian leader of the Nightsisters|Nightsister clans of witches before and during the Clone Wars. The coven was located at a village on the planet Dathomir where they lived in seclusion. She was responsible for the unification of the Nightsister clans after the defeat of Mother Zalem in 31 BBY. Even though, she is a villain, she still has some good traits. Not only did she look after the well-being of the Nightsisters, but she took a special interest in the Nightbrothers and Sith Lord Darth Maul. She sent Savage Opress to find his lost brother and bring him back home to Dathomir, where she helped Maul become reborn.

Background
A Dathomirian female, Talzin was a member of the Nightsisters prior to the Clone Wars. While birthing her first daughter, Talzin was struck with a fatal affliction, but was enlightened by the Nightsisters of her culture and survived the incident. She subsequently became a shaman of the Nightsisters and eventually united the various Nightsister covens following the death of Mother Zalem in 31 BBY. Whereas previously, competing Nightsister covens had been ruled by a clan mother and a shaman, Talzin, holding both titles, was able to unite her warring people into a single coven, which thrived into the time of the Clone Wars. Talzin's coven also had a close relationship with a clan of Nightbrothers.

Personality and traits
Mother Talzin claimed that the Nightsisters were loyal to nobody except each other, and she taught the other Nightsisters to only focus on themselves and their sisters. Talzin was quite maternal towards Asajj Ventress, even giving her a hug when she returned to Dathomir, showing that she really did consider herself a mother to the rest of the Nightsisters. She was not afraid of war, and comforted Ventress when the younger Nightsister blamed herself for bringing the Separatists to Dathomir, and also defended her fellow Nightsisters with her magic. However when Talzin realized that the Nightsisters were going to lose the battle, she fled.

Although she cared about her fellow Nightsisters, Talzin was also rather sadistic and seemed to enjoy torturing Count Dooku. She knew that females were the dominant gender on Dathomir. She saw Savage Opress as little more than a tool, though she did help Savage find his long lost brother, Darth Maul.

Talzin's voice was both deep and eerie, backed up with an otherworldly echo. As a shaman, she acted as a conduit and a mouthpiece of the Spirits, channeling their dark and ancient energy through her gestures and her voice.
