Ison Radek

Ison Radek was an admiral in the navy of the Confederacy of Independent Systems during the Clone Wars, and was made a Grand Admiral by Count Dooku shortly before the Battle of Coruscant. Considered to be a Separatist war hero, Radek was known by his comrades and enemies to be a good tactician and strategist. He pulled off a number of victories against the Galactic Republic during the conflict, and was put in command of the fleet striking Coruscant in 19 BBY. Radek survived, but realized that the failure of the attack spelled the end of the CIS. So he took the remnants of the fleet and fled to the Unknown Regions. Months later, after hearing of the Galactic Empire, he reemerged with his forces and began an insurrection.
