Darth Maul

**Maul** was a Dathomirian Zabrak male who lived during the last days of the Galactic Republic and the reign of the Galactic Empire. Maul, the son of Mother Talzin of the Nightsisters, was taken as the Sith apprentice of Darth Sidious, the Dark Lord of the Sith, and given the name **Darth Maul**.

## Bio

### Personality

Darth Maul is driven by pure hatred for all things, particularly the
Jedi, though he does have a sense of honor, granting worthy foes quick
deaths. He also had respect and possibly even attachment for Sidious,
despite his torturous upbringing at his hands. Maul focuses on complete
victory at any cost and even his master finds it somewhat terrifying how
 much pain he will endure to succeed in his goals. Maul bravely takes on
 any challenge, but is also arrogant and gloating, best exemplified by
one point, where he believed he could fight and defeat the entire Jedi
Order. Sidious often had to warn Maul to watch his pride, saying that
despite his fierce fighting skill, he is no one-man army.

Maul was once loyal to his master, but still wondered about his
part in the Grand Plan of the Sith and knew he could not carry on the
Sith’s legacy, having only been trained as an assassin. He feared what
might happen if Sidious were to meet his end unexpectedly, and had no
idea of how to carry out the Grand Plan alone. Maul also realizes he
cannot maintain any secret identity like Sidious does because of his
appearance. He lacks a complete understanding of the galaxy despite his
knowledge in the world of politics and crime, though he realizes the
Jedi are the true enemy, not the Republic. Maul has no patience for the
useless, but can take notice of the more talented. He is determined to
be the greatest warrior via any means of self-improvement and his
near-death at the hands of Obi-Wan has made him more bitter.

Maul is a cunning, ruthless, traitorous, and manipulative killer
who has no qualms with killing civilians or using taunting to unsettle
his opponents in battle. His time in isolation had made him more patient
 and able to function as a leader in his quest for revenge, not just a
follower. Maul is determined to kill Sidious and his new apprentice, Count Dooku, whom he considers a pretender Sith, and later Darth Vader.

Near at his death however, Maul lost most of his hatred for
Obi-Wan, as he is embraced by him. When Obi-Wan comfirms the fate of the
 Chosen One, Maul shares his belief that he (Luke Skywalker) would
avenge them both. This concludes that Maul was not entirely the monster
that most saw him as, but truly a tragic character who had lost
everything he cared about due to Darth Sidious' actions, if not the
most, similar to Darth Vader.

## Skills and Abilities

Maul is extremely skilled and resourceful at wielding lightsabers and
focuses more on physical skill than using spiritual and psychological
tactics to crush his foes, though he has used these more lately. Maul is
 best known for his double-ended saberstaff the second blade of which he
 often used to catch his opponent’s offguard. He also combines his
lightsaber wielding with hand-to-hand combat, making him a much more
dangerous opponent.

When Maul cannot win with pure martial skill, he uses tactics to win
the day. He is amazingly skilled in using the Force, which grants him
telekinetic abilities such as Force choke, Force grip, and the power to
send out blasts of Force lightning, which he can also resist. Maul is
also skilled with technology, building his speeder bike and Dark Eye
probe droids and modifying a protocol droid to become an assassin droid
to protect his ship. Maul also possesses an extreme endurance to
physical pain.
