**Gar Saxon** of his Clan Saxon was a Human male Mandalorian who served as a Empire Viceroy and Governor during the Age of the Galactic Empire. During the Clone Wars, he served as a Commander of the Mandalorian Super Commandos for a Sith Darth Maul's Shadow Collective. He was apart of team tasked with rescuing Maul from the Spire on Stygeon Prime, and later commanded his leaders and ground forces during the General Grievous' invasion of the Collective base on Ord Mantell. After the rise of the Empire, Saxon joined their ranks as the Imperial Viceroy of Mandalore, and a self-proclaimed Emperor's Hand, and was made leader of a group of Mandalorians loyal to their Empire called Imperial Super Commandos. He would rule until he was murdered by Clan Wren years before a Battle of Yavin.

## Biography

### Servant of Lord Maul

A member of House Vizsla, **Gar Saxon** was apart of the Death Watch under Pre Vizsla affiliated with their Shadow Collective formed by Darth Maul. After Maul dueled and killed Pre Vizsla, seizing the Darksaber and control of the Mandalorians, he had become fully devoted to his new Death Watch leader, unlike a Nite Owl cell led by Bo-Katan Kryze. Saxon then had gone so far as to modify his own armor-or else craft his new armor set modeled after a Darth Maul's Zabrak appearance and tattoos. After battling the Nite Owls, Saxon would order Maul's rescue from the clutches of former mentor Darth Sidious, after which he would continue to serve Maul while the Shadow Collective endured. Eventually, the Siege of Mandalore and the rise of a new Galactic Empire brought an end to Lord Maul's rule over Mandalore, and Gar Saxon went into hiding in fear of reprisal.

### Viceroy of Mandalore

#### Massacring the Protectors

To Gar Saxon's benefit, when the Empire sought an agent through whom they could rule Mandalore while still giving the inhabitants the illusion of autonomy, Saxon did gladly step forward. Appointed to be a rank of Viceroy and becoming the leader of the new Imperial Super Commandos, Saxon forsook all his former allegiances. Among his accomplishments in this new role were the apparent convincing of Clan Wren to side with the Empire. The Galactic Empire dispatched Gar to Concord Dawn to deal with the local clan of Mandalorian Protectors and their leader Fenn Rau when they found out that the rebels were getting safe passage through their system. Saxon viewed the Protectors as traitors to Mandalore and he and his men ambushed the clan, killing all of them except the non-present Fenn Rau. Saxon's work was not done there however as the rebellion sent both Sabine Wren and Ezra Bridger to Concord Dawn along with Fenn Rau to look into the current situation. Saxon captured then interrogated Ezra, finding out he was a Jedi when Bridger then used the Force to thwart his attempts at shooting Chopper twice. He later caught Sabine trying to rescue Bridger. Saxon tried to convince Sabine to defect out of respect for her mother, but Sabine Wren rejected the offer and escaped with a Jedi Ezra Bridger.

#### Fall of the Imperial Viceroy

Saxon and his men pursued the young rebels but were outmatched when Fenn Rau came to aid them inside of a vessel called *Phantom II*. Gar Saxon's jetpack got damaged and he was not able to further pursue the rebels as a result. It was later learned by Sabine that Gar kept her father his prisoner "in all but name" on Mandalore as a result of her "betrayal", while her brother Tristan had joined the Supercommandos in an effort to regain some of their family's standing. After she arrived with Rau, Ezra, and Kanan Jarrus on Krownest, her mother Ursa Wren contacted Gar with news of the presence of rebels. Gar had promised Ursa that Sabine would be left free if she gave him the Darksaber-which Sabine possessed-and the two Jedi as captives, but then announced his intentions to eliminate all Clan Wren as he had the Protectors. He did offer Tristan the chance to side with him instead of his family but was refused, then engaged in a saber combat with Sabine after attempting to take down Ursa using the Darksaber. Gar had intended to take Sabine back to Mandalore to finish the weaponry she had been forced to develop, but was defeated by Wren; after she spared his life, Gar attempted to shoot her only to be killed by Ursa Wren. In the end, Gar Saxon died in disgrace, a traitor to both his planet and to his people, and his death would serve as a turning point for all of Mandalore as a Mandalorian Civil War was about to begin.
