Biography
Deal with Dooku
Darts D'Nar was active during the Clone Wars where he was a member of the Zygerrian Slaver Guild and of the Zygerrian Slave Empire. He was a slaver at the time and sought to avenge the lost empire of his homeworld and sought to bring it back to its former glory. Count Dooku had eventually reached out to him and in exchange of D'Nar's services, he would help Zygerria re-establish their long lost empire. D'Nar agreed and thus became a military commander for the Confederate Military.
Landing on Kiros
In the year 21 BBY, Darts D'Nar had accompanied Count Dooku to the planet of Kiros where a large garrison of droids were also sent to the planet as well. There, he landed in the Artison Colony where Dooku had promised protection to the colony's governor and his people but mere seconds after saying so, D'Nar gave the order to round up the colonists and so, the droid army marched and arrested all of the Torgutan colonists to be sent as slaves to the newly established Zygerrian Slave Empire.
Republic Assault
Following the abduction of the Torgutan colonists, the Galactic Republic had gotten word of it and sent in a small detachment of Clone Soldiers to Kiros to investigate as the Republic and the Jedi Council were contacted by the colonial governor before D'Nar's arrival. Upon landing, Anakin Skywalker, Ahsoka Tano, and Obi Wan Kenobi lead their clone forces into the colony and soon ran into a firefight with Commando Droids not long after landing. They were quickly dealt with and D'Nar was soon surrounded after his defenses were penetrated by the Republic forces. After the firefight, he contacted Obi Wan and told him to come to the tower where he would negotiate terms of surrender with him.
Fighting with Kenobi
After the battle had supposedly come to an end, Obi Wan Kenobi entered into the governor's tower where D'Nar was waiting along with two Commando Droids and a T-Series Tactical Droid commander. D'Nar then spoke with Dooku and Zygerrian Prime Minister Atai Molec through hologram about the last slave shipment. After Kenobi entered, D'Nar had demanded that Kenobi surrender and not him despite being completely surrounded.
D'Nar then had his tactical droid detonate a bomb which had damaged an AT-TE Walker outside and killing and wounding nearby Clone soldiers as well. Obi Wan then promised to duel D'Nar in a traditional Zygerrian battle and did so while Anakin and Ahsoka went around the colony disabeling the other bombs that were set up across the colony. All of the bombs were eventually disabled and D'Nar detonated the last one he had on his tactical droid and used that as a distraction to make it back to his ship and escape.
Escape Attempt
After distracting Obi Wan, D'Nar made it back to his ship where he took off in an attempt to escape the Republic forces. Anakin, enraged by the Zygerrian slaver and harboring hatred for them due to his dark past with them as a child, went with Ahsoka where the two Jedi borded his ship. D'Nar then unleashed a "pet" he had to deal with them. While one of the beasts was distracting Anakin, Ahsoka went into the cockpit and quickly subdued D'Nar. Anakin followed in shortly after and threatened to behead D'Nar with his lightsaber had he not told him where the colonists were at. D'Nar scoffed off Anakin after Ahsoka told him to go too far and simply told the two Jedi that Zygerria will be restored to its former glory by his Queen and the Slave Empire would return. His status afterwards is left unknown, but he was taken into Republic custody in the end.
Personality
Darts D'Nar was a sadistic slaver who sought to exploit countless people all across the galaxy as a means of growing the slave empire that his planet had been based on for centuries. He hated the Jedi Order and the Galactic Republic for their role in bringing down the slave empire and sought to avenge it by restoring the slave trade to the entire galaxy. D'Nar was also nihilistic when it came to the lives of the people he enslaved as they were nothing more but expendable and only served to enrich the vast slave empire that he admired so much and fought for as well. Though, he does seem to care for his bird as he took the time to take it with him while leaving Obi-Wan to die in the explosion.
