Birth Name: Qymaen jai Sheelal

Race: Kaleesh (of the planet Kalee)

Positions Held: Supreme Commander of the Confederacy of Independant Systems (CIS); Kaleesh Warlord.

Summary:

Originally specialized in rifle combat on his home planet of Kalee. He fought against another inhabitant group on the planet Kalee, the Huk, and amassed so many kills that he became something of a deity to his people. He left the planet after his mentor was killed by the Huk. It was at this time that he took the name of Grievous and joined the CIS.

During his time in the CIS, he met the former Jedi turned Sith Lord, Count Dooku. Dooku, sensing an opportunity in Grievous' rage, taught him the ways of lightsaber combat. A quick learner, Grievous became known as one of the greatest swordsman in the galaxy and sent many a Jedi to their doom.

Grievous gained much attention in the year 19 BBY, when he staged a daring assault on the galactic senate and kidnapped Supreme Chancellor Palpatine. The Republic Navy quickly responded. Two Jedi - Anakin Skywalker and his master, Obi-Wan Kenobi - infiltrated Grievous' flagship (The Invisible Hand) and rescued the Chancellor. During the conflict on the Invisible Hand, Count Dooku was killed by Anakin Skywalker, but Grievous managed to escape via escape pod to the planet Utapau.

Obi-Wan Kenobi managed to track the General to the planet Utapau, and with the help of the 501st Battalion (of the Clone Army), he flushed Grievous out and killed him after a brief but intense exchange of both lightsaber and blaster combat. The droid army (CIS) fell apart shortly after, crippled by the loss of their 2 leaders.

Sadly, this is Grievous' life WITHOUT going into too much detail. If you want to take a closer look at his early years or any of the battles mentioned within this answer, please see the article attached below.

Is asajj ventress stronger than general grievous?

Of course she is, she is much more skilled in the lightsaber and the force. No, because she was taught by Count Dooku after he taught General Grievous. But she does have force even though General Grievous doesn't. And General Grievous taught a little bit to Asajj Ventress. Also, Asajj Ventress has two lightsabers that can turn into a saberstaff, but General Grievous has four lightsabers. Grievous also has killed 32 Jedi, and Asajj Ventress has killed none.
