Biography
"Master, there are two people approaching. One matches the description of Asajj Ventress, the other appears to be Count Dooku."

- PND-443 to Tahl, his master

A PND-series droid, PND=443, or more commonly called, 443, came equipped with standard sensor packages, a concealed blaster hidden in his right arm that was used to defend his charge, and enhanced personality programs. Tahl, over years of tinkering, upgraded these features and gave him lightsaber skills and tractor beams to simulate telekinesis. A few months into his service as her personal assistant droid, he received his first lightsaber and tractor beams, and none too soon, either. He and his master were on Voss to secure a treaty. His master needed some air, so they went for a walk in the garden. As they were walking, Asajj Ventress and Count Dooku approached them. He told his master, and she ordered for him to be on the alert for a signal from her. The count began speaking, telling Tahl to prepare to become one with the Force. The old-but-spry Noorian took her lightsaber out of her cane, and 443 took his out of concealement in his arm. The ignited, and the two dark-siders did likewise. Asajj attacked him, and he put up a valiant defense while Tahl and Dooku went at it with the Force. Finally, 443 used his tractor beams to throw Ventress to the ground and hold her at bladepoint. She wriggled free and escaped with her life. Tahl had likewise beaten Dooku. This was later incovered to be the lone incident which kept the Shogun of Voss from being added to the already-long-list of victims claimed by Ventress. The treaty secured, Tahl had enough of the war and went into retirement from active duty, where 443 continued to serve her.

Physical Appearance
He had a silver-plated body, and his head was a conical shape with twin photoreceptors one on top of the other at the end. Countless other sensors were hidden underneath his "skin". In his two longish arms (Long in case Tahl stumbled so he could catch her) each had a tractor beam in it. His right arm carried a concealed blaster and lightsaber, both of which he used in the obscure escape for the duo from the burning Jedi Temple years later. He also was capable of action-filled feats.
