## Background

### Official Description

“*A deadly, agile Sith Lord trained by the evil Darth Sidious, Darth Maul was a formidable warrior and scheming mastermind. He wielded an intimidating double-bladed lightsaber and fought with a menacing ferocity. Though he fell in battle against Obi-Wan Kenobi, the Zabrak from Dathomir would prove to be much harder to destroy than originally believed.*”
―Official description

### Personality

Maul was a deadly, evil, dark, and mysterious figure in the *Star Wars* franchise. In his first appearance, he was a formidable foe, having managed to kill Qui-Gon Jinn and temporarily have a stand over Obi-Wan Kenobi. Brainwashed as a child, he was extremely loyal to his master, following his every order due to Maul's attachment with Sidious.

He had great hatred towards people who have wronged him or those Maul cared for, such as Obi-Wan and Sidious. More specifically, he was driven by his hatred for Kenobi, which is what allowed him to survive after the Jedi had cut him in half. For the next twenty years, Maul would have done anything to exact vengeance on Obi-Wan, a quest that would lead Maul to his own demise. He developed a hatred towards Sidious, who he was once loyal to, after his former master killed his brother and took him away from Mother Talzin when he was younger, revealing to Jedi Ezra Bridger, that Maul still held anger and hatred towards Sidious. In order to survive anything Maul became a manipulative figure, such as convincing Vizsla to conquer Mandalore, attempts at forming alliances, especially with Ahsoka Tano, and with Ezra, Ahsoka and Kanan when they reluctantly teamed up together on Malachor in search of a way to defeat the Sith with a Sith Holocron. Maul was one of the only ones who was able to figure out that Darth Vader was really Anakin Skywalker, who he had visions of becoming Sidious' new apprentice. He was noted for being terrified by Prime Minister Almec, haunted by the visions, meaning Maul may have had some level of fear of Skywalker, as he wished to kill him to deprive Sidious of an apprentice, which he attempted to do by orchestrating the Mandalore Civil War

Maul had animal traits, such as growling like a wild animal towards his enemies. Maul could be quite arrogant himself, especially considering he could kill Obi-Wan when he met him again seventeen years after their last encounter on Mandalore and thought Kanan (who he had blinded) and Ahsoka could not fight him, boasting he was going to claim both Ezra and the power Malachor had.

Maul was not completely heartless, as he loved his mother and brother and the feeling was mutual on both sides. He also seemed to genuinely care for Ezra, coming to view him as a potential Apprentice and seeing a little bit of himself in the boy. However, at the times they had met, he was merely using Ezra seceral times, for example, to get Obi-Wan Kenobi out of hiding and tricking him into activating the superweapon for the Sith Temple. He could not understand Ezra's dedication to his friends, and demands Ezra forget about his attachments with the Ghost crew and the past, quite ironic for Maul, as he was obssessed with never letting go of the past until he finally seeing their relationship was only one-sided.

Even towards the end of his life, Maul remained bitter and vengeful. However, he made it clear that he was no longer affiliated with the Sith despite following the dark path, having dropped "Darth" from his name. Maul became obsessed with Obi-Wan's downfall but it ultimately caused his own. However, he died with believe and hope that Luke Skywalker would destroy Sidious, causing Maul to know that he and his family would be avenged.

### Prequel Trilogy

#### *Episode I - The Phantom Menace*

After two Jedi, Qui-Gon Jinn and Obi-Wan Kenobi prevented the Trade Federation to make their invasion of Naboo legal by rescuing Queen Amidala, Nute Gunray and his allies failed in searching for her. Impatient, Sidious dispatched Maul to retrieve the missing ship that Queen Amidala was on and capture her and to kill the two Jedi. Maul traced a distress call from the governor, Sio Bibble, which the queen received on Tatooine. Maul found the Jedi on the desert planet. Finally tracing the Jedi as they were about to leave the planet, he subsequently encountered and ambushed the Jedi Master, Qui-Gon Jinn while he and the boy, Anakin Skywalker. Qui-Gon yelled at Anakin to run while he faced off Darth Maul. However, before Maul could finish his opponent off, Qui-Gon was saved by his allies, where he was attended to by Obi-Wan and Anakin and revealed that Maul was highly skilled in lightsaber. This caused Darth Maul to fume with rage and anger. Because of this, Maul had revealed himself and his Master to the Jedi. However, Maul had taken great pride within it.

After the Jedi returned to Coruscant, the Jedi were surprised that the Sith had returned due to them being extinct for more than 2000 years. At that moment, Queen Amidala and her forces returned to Naboo to fight the Trade Federation. Sidious sent Maul to fight the Jedi, but warned him to be mindful. When Qui-Gon and his apprentice, Obi-Wan Kenobi, entered the ship hangar where Nut Gunray was hiding and the Jedi, queen and Republic Officers had taken the Droids out, Maul was on the other side of the door and drew out his double-bladed lightsaber. He engaged Qui-Gon and Obi-Wan in a three-way duel. It was long and hard fight between the three. During the long battle, Maul chased the Jedi into the reactor room, where Obi-Wan was separated from his master and Maul's duel by the laser walls in the security hall. Maul had proceeded in killing Qui-Gon rather quickly. Enraged, Obi-Wan attacked Maul, who was caught off guard. Because of the loss of his Master, Obi Wan was able to slice Maul's saber in half. With only one saber left, Maul knocked Obi-Wan into an air shaft while king the Padawan's weapon into the pit. While Obi-Wan hang for his life, he used the Force, calling his master's lightsaber into his hand.

Obi-Wan took his master's saber and cut Maul in two halves, causing Maul to fall into the air shaft. Both Palpatine and the Jedi thought Maul had perished on Naboo.

### *The Clone Wars*

Miraculously, Maul survived and used the Force to grab onto an air vent. His mutilated body was eventually dumped on the junk planet of Lotho Minor. He managed to replace his legs with a six-limbed apparatus that allowed him to walk again. During his exile, he made a bargain with a sentient sneaky Anacondan called Morley, who agreed to bring Maul food in return for his leftovers. Maul's mind became mutilated, with his thirst for revenge against Kenobi still causing him to live. He began living in the bowels of Lotho Minor.

#### Season Four

During the final days of the Clone Wars, Maul continued to scrap for food from individuals that Morley lured until one of the victims was his brother, Savage Opress sent by their mother Talzin. Having lost his mind from years of being alone and his thirst for revenge against Kenobi, Maul attacked Savage as a creature due to his construction of spider-like prosthetic legs until he realized who the creature really was when his medallion that Mother Talzin blessed glowed (as it could only glow when Savage grew nearer to his brother). Seeing Savage through the light of his brother's medallion, Maul tried to flee until the younger Zabrak revealed he had been searching for him for months and that they were blood. After killing Maul's minion, Savage tried to figure out what happened to his brother and how long he had been staying there. The former Sith continued reciting the Sith code in his deranged estate until revealing that Obi-Wan was the cause of his misery. Maul, angered, demanded to Savage that he must have vengeance on his old enemy. Meanwhile Yoda senses that maul is still alive and warns Obi-Wan, who is perplexed and how his old enemy was still alive. Template:Ep

Following Savage finding Maul, he took his brother back to their home world, where Maul's mind was fully restored by mother Talzin, well so give him a new pair of cybernetic legs. Shortly afterwards, Talzin disappeared into Green smoke as Savage and Maul were properly acquainted with each other. As Maul got used to his new legs, Maul felt an imbalance in the force, where Savage informed his brother of the Clone Wars. Upset that the war started without him and with his lightsaber, Maul proclaimed his hatred for Obi-Wan Kenobi, whom he entirely blamed for his pain and suffering. To draw Obi-Wan out, he slaughtered an entire planet and through a hologram, told Kenobi to come and face him or let other innocent people die. Maul confronted Kenobi when he arrived on the planet and mocked him over his master, Qui-Gon's death and blamed him for all his suffering. As they entered a brief duel, Kenobi gained confidence that he could kill Maul this time, but his brother, Savage, emerged from the shadows and overpowered Kenobi and taking him as their captive on their ship. As Maul and Savage tortured Kenobi, they were interrupted with the arrival of Savage's ex-lover, Asajj Ventress. Feeling she wronged his brother, he vowed to destroy her, as well as Kenobi. Maul and Savage entered a duel with their opponents. The two brothers proved to be a greater match for Obi-Wan and Ventress, who fled to their own ship and were able to escape. Maul anticipated Obi-Wan's return and told his brother to remain patient. Template:Ep

#### Season Seven

 File:Mauls Hologram.jpg
Maul and other parts of his loyal forces returned to Mandalore and at this time, continued to rule over the organizations that remained loyal to him. Among them was forging ties with the criminal organization, Crimson Dawn, and the Pykes' spice mining operations. The Pykes hired Rafa Martez to deliver the spice, but her sister, Trace, dumped the spice into hyperspace, leading to their capture by the Syndicate. Shortly afterwards, Maul contacted the new leader, Marg Krim, who informed him of his delay in production, especially recalling that Republic forces have raided one of his bases. Maul questioned if there were Jedi involved but Krim was not sure since none of his men made it out alive. However, he warded it off and surmised the Jedi were likely involved. Mid-way through the conversation, Maul felt a presence of Ahsoka Tano, who was spying on them from below). Maul warned Krim to risk no more delays or else Crimson Dawn would take control of their operations before ending the transmission. Template:Ep

 File:Maul (Siege of Mandalore)-0.png
At the close of the Clone Wars, Republic forces besieged Mandalore led by Captain Rex and Ahsoka Tano. He planned a trap for Kenobi, anticipating the Jedi's return by intentionally leaking information to Bo-Katan that he was in Sundari, the capital of Mandalore, where she hoped to capture Maul. When his Mandalorian warriors informed Maul of the girl's trail, he ordered them to lure her into the trap and kill her of Clone Trooper escort. However, Maul did not anticipate Ahsoka to be the Jedi. He personally confronted her, and questioned why she was there instead of Kenobi. Template:Ep

Maul, who is unfamiliar with Ahsoka, further expresses his disappointment that she is there in Obi-Wan's stead and wonders why he sent her instead of coming with his former Apprentice, Anakin Skywalker. She sarcastically remarks that he could surrender now and personally ask Kenobi, but Maul, knowing the age of the Empire and Order 66 will be upon them, declines, knowing the Jedi and republic will fall. Ahsoka assumes he wants to take over, but Maul reveals someone else will and reveals a name to her: Darth Sidious. However, they are interrupted when Rex and the battalion arrive to Ahsoka's aid, causing Maul to take out his lightsaber and briefly duels the girl before fleeing and losing them in the sewers. Maul later attacks and apparently kill a group of Clone Troopers, questioning about his new opponent, and takes the eldest one, Jesse, hostage. As he speaks to the clone, Maul reminiscent that he was cast aside by his master, especially his successor, Dooku, whom he now realizes was not so different from their last encounter. He strives to survive in the new world when "the plan" is being put into motion, but first, invades Jesse's mind to learn more about Ahsoka Tano. Through the clone, Maul becomes aware of Ahsoka's trial and her departure from the Jedi Order. Later knowing what is to come, he tells the other leaders of the Shadow Collective to hide out. With the presence of Rook Kast, and Gar Saxon, he recalls how they saved him from Sidious' imprisonment and rallies them to fight or die trying. Later, Maul sits upon the Mandalorian throne, confronting Rex, Ahsoka and Bo-Katan, who Maul briefly chokes when she tries to kill him. As a show of good faith, Maul sets Jesse free and allows him to return to Rex, who Ahsoka tells to get Jesse to safety.

Suddenly, Mandalorians attack republic forces, Ahsoka urges Bo-Katan to go help their allies, leaving Maul alone with her. Watching the battle in the throne room, Maul, aware of what is going to happen, knows that no one else knows what is to come. Ahsoka questions what the former Sith means and once again sarcastically tells him to surrender, however, Maul reveals he just wants to speak to her, confronting her about her departure from the Jedi Order. Maul acknowledges they were both used for a greater power. Ahsoka makes it clear that she is there to bring him to justice, however, Maul reveals to her that it won't exist in the new government that will replace the republic and promises that Sidious will reveal himself when the Empire takes over. Ahsoka tries convincing Maul to help the Jedi stop Sidious before it is too late, however, Maul knows the fall of the Republic has already begun and that Ahsoka does not see it and reveals that there will be nothing but chaos when the new order takes over. He convinces Ahsoka that the Jedi Order has already fallen and they cannot defeat Sidious, and offers for her to join him while offering his hand out to her. The former Padawan accepts but asks for one question, which Maul promises to answer. Ahsoka asks what he wants with Anakin. Maul reveals that he orchestrated the Mandalorian Civil War in hopes of luring Anakin there and kill him so he can deprive Sidious of an apprentice and tells Ahsoka how Anakin will fall to the dark side, as the whole war was about Sidious grooming Anakin to become his Sith Apprentice, causing Ahsoka to believe his vision to be flawed and activate her lightsabers. When he realizes Ahsoka will not join him, Maul decies she needs one more lesson before igniting his lightsabers duels the young Padawan before attempting to flee, where Saxon asks him for reinforcements. However, Maul reveals he is abandoning them and to die for their cause before trying to escape. Ahsoka finds him as he is about to escape. During the battle, they nearly fall. Maul offers her one last chance to join him but she refuses. As he tries to kill her, Ahsoka loses her lightsabers and pushes him in self-defense but catches him with the Force. As Maul yells for Ahsoka to let him fall to his death, he shouts to his captors that they will all die for what is to come. However, Bo's and Ahsoka's men stun him, successfully capturing Maul. Template:Ep

A captured Maul is put in one of the containers that is meant to suppress a Jedi's imprisonment in the Mandalorian Civil war and transported to Coruscant with Ahsoka and Rex, whom he glares at through the glass. When Order 66 is initiated, Maul is nearly executed by clones sent by a brainwashed Rex however he has unexpectedly saved by Ahsoka Tano who ultimately frees him. Maul is surprised to see that she survived. Ahsokatell him about the other clones turning against her and asks if he has anything to do with it, but Maul reveals that his former Master Darth Sidious is behind it and not in the way he expected. he tries to convince Ahsoka to join him again and survive together, however the girl refuses him and actually saved him to do what he does best: wreak havoc and that she wouldn't care if he lived or died. Without a lightsaber, he uses his Force powers to fight them off and nearly slaughters all the Clones. Maul's attack allows them to escape; however, Maul uses the Force to sever one of the Clones' arms as the doorway closes. Template:Ep

Eventually, Ahsoka has the chance to kill Maul as she can take down an unarmed opponent because she is no longer a Jedi. However she instead chooses to Rex, allowing him to escape. Template:Ep
