Darth Maul

Darth Maul is the Sith Lord apprenticed to Darth Sidious. Originally a Zabrak Nightbrother born on Iridonia, Maul is the son of Nightsisters’ leader Mother Talzin. At a young age he was given to Sidious, who trained him in the ways of the Dark Side of the Force through incredibly cruel training which nevertheless forged Maul into a useful assassin and powerful Sith. Maul would seemingly meet his end at the hands of the Jedi Obi-Wan Kenobi, but a decade later would return with cybernetic legs and a burning desire for revenge, assisted by his brother Savage Opress.
