Maul's very appearance had been carefully conceived to put fear into the heart of the Sith's enemies and unwitting allies. Maul originally went on countless missions of terror for his master, killing politicians, merchants, and warlords. There Maul constructed his signature speeder bike Bloodfin and the Dark Eye seeker droids. Sidious gave Maul the funds and schematics he needed, and provided Maul with a secret facility on Coruscant in which to work. Maul often used this to catch opponents by surprise, as few were prepared for the extra blade.ĭarth Maul was also skilled with combining Force talents with mechanics. When fighting multiple opponents, Maul extended the second blade of his lightsaber forming a "lightsaber staff", doubling his lethality. Unlike the traditional dueling techniques of most Jedi, Maul combined his swordsmanship with incredible acrobatic and martial arts hand-to-hand combat skills, making him a nearly unstoppable dervish of destruction. Maul was skilled with the lightsaber, trained by Sidious to be a master of Form VII which draws on emotions and the dark side. Sidious proclaimed him Darth Maul, Dark Lord of the Sith, and took him to a new home on Coruscant. By wanting to kill his own master, Maul had in fact passed the final test. When Maul's emotions were finally spent, he prepared himself for death, yet Sidious laughed instead. Rage and hatred overwhelmed Maul, and in one final act of defiance he nearly killed his master. Sidious then told Maul that he had been secretly training another apprentice to replace him.
After a month's time, Sidious returned and challenged his apprentice to a duel, one which Maul lost. The ultimate test came one day when Maul was abandoned by his master on an isolated Outer Rim world, forced to survive alone while being hunted by hordes of assassin droids. By the time Maul was an adolescent, his master had already constructed him as a weapon of pure hatred. During his training, any show of fear was severly punished by Sidious, any hint of mercy rewarded with cruelty. Indoctrinated in the ways of the dark side of the Force from youth, Maul had no emotion aside from bloodlust and rage.
A Zabrak originally from Iridonia, Maul had no memories of his homeworld or family, having been kidnapped as an infant by Sidious. Darth Maul was a Dark Lord of the Sith, apprentice to Darth Sidious.
