As a member of the death-worshiping Cult of M'dweshuu, McKnives sought ways to appease his religions' demand for blood sacrifice. During the Clone Wars, he made his way to the violent, nigh-unknown planet of Rattatak. He committed several murders with the intent of being forced into the gladiatorial games as punishment—a wish which was granted. Though he was one of the better gladiators, he was killed when a fallen Jedi, Asajj Ventress, used the Force to collapse a portion of the arena's ceiling onto him in an attempt to impress Count Dooku.
