Darth Maul was kidnapped from his Jedi training by the Sith Lord Darth Sidious at an early age. Maul was told to forget what he had learned from the Jedi and was indoctrinated in the ways of the dark side of the Force from youth. (Not Canon)


Maul had no memories of his homeworld of Iridonia, and was incapable of emotion aside from bloodlust and rage. During his training, any show of fear was severely punished by Sidious and any hint of mercy was rewarded with cruelty. By the time Maul reached adolescence, his master has forged him into a weapon of pure hatred.


Marked by Sith tattoos that cover his entire body, Maul was now the ultimate tool of the dark side. Despite this rather traumatic childhood, Maul adored his Master, and never once contemplated killing him until his final test. Sidious abandons Maul on an isolated Outer Rim world, forcing him to survive alone while being hunted by hordes of assassin droids. After a month's time, his master returned and challenged him to a duel, which, already weakened, Maul quickly lost. Sidious then told Maul that he had failed and is soon to be replaced. Overwhelmed by hatred, Maul nearly defeated his master. When Maul's emotions were finally spent, he prepared to die, only to be met with Sidious' satisfaction. By wanting to kill his own master, Maul had in fact passed the final test.


His master proclaimed him Darth Maul, Dark Lord of the Sith, and took him to a new home on Coruscant.


Darth Maul is trained by Darth Sidious to be a master of lightsaber combat. Unlike the traditional dueling techniques of most Jedi, Maul combines his swordsmanship with incredible acrobatic and hand-to-hand combat skills, making him a nearly unstoppable dervish of destruction. When fighting multiple
opponents, Maul extends the second blade of his double-bladed lightsaber to form a saberstaff. Maul often uses this to catch opponents by surprise, as few are prepared for the extra blade. Maul constructs this weapon himself, using ancient plans stored within one of the Sith Holocrons.


His master gives Maul the funds and schematics he needs and provides him with a secret facility on Coruscant in which to work. There, Maul constructs his signature speeder bike, Bloodfin, and his Dark Eye probe droids. Sidious also gives Maul a powerful transport a Sith Infiltrator called Scimitar,
which features a cloaking shield generator.


Maul initially goes on countless missions of terror for his master, killing politicians, crime bosses, merchants and warlords. His victims includes Neimoidian Hath Monchar, the Black Sun leader Alexi Garyn, the Nightsister Mighella and all of the Black Sun vigos and their bodyguards.

  1. He's the man... well... Zabrak. :P

  2. The name "Khameir Sarin" is not canon. Quote Wookieepedia: "His pre-Sith name is unknown; some (including notorious fraud SuperShadow) cite Khameir Sarin as a possibility, as it allegedly appears in some foreign translations of the Episode I novelization, but this has not yet been proven. " It's also untrue that Maul had any Jedi training at all, I think. Everything else is fine and I like the pictures.
