Born 54 BBY, I was the first known apprentice of Darth Sidious. A Zabrak originally from Iridonia, I had no memories of My homeworld or family, having been kidnapped as an infant by Sidious. Indoctrinated in the ways of the dark side from youth, i had no emotion aside from bloodlust and rage. During my training, any show of fear was severely punished by Sidious, and any hint of mercy rewarded with cruelty. By the time i was an adolescent, my master had already forged me into a weapon of pure hatred. Marked by Sith tattoos that covered my entire muscular body, i was now the ultimate tool of the dark side. Despite this rather traumatic childhood (if it could be called that). Il was skilled with the lightsaber. I was trained by Darth Sidious to be a master of Form VII, which draws on emotions and the dark side. Unlike the traditional dueling techniques of most Jedi, I combined my swordsmanship with incredible acrobatic and martial arts and hand-to-hand combat skills, making me a nearly unstoppable dervish of destruction. I was a master of the fighting style teräs käsi, as well as an adept in the Jar'Kai style of wielding a lightsaber in each hand. When fighting multiple opponents,I extended the second blade of my double-bladed lightsaber to form a saberstaff, doublingmy lethality. I often used this to catch opponents by surprise, as few were prepared for the extra blade. I had constructed this weapon myself, using ancient plans stored within one of the Sith Holocrons the Sith still possessed. I had based my lightsaber design upon Exar Kun's. During the events of Episode I: the Phantom Menace, I was sent to capture Queen Amidala and eliminate the two Jedi, Qui-Gon Jinn and Obi-Wan Kenobi, who had been dispatched by the Galactic Republic to settle the conflict and protect the queen. I just barely failed in this task on Tatooine and I thirsted for revenge. Fighting Tusken Raiders and Togorian pirates put a drain on him by the time he left Tatooine.Upon arriving on Naboo, I went straight at the two Jedi, ignoring the queen and allowing her to escape. In a vicious duel during the Battle of Naboo, Maul was remarkably able to fend off both of his Jedi opponents with the help of his double-bladed lightsaber. Maul then finally succeeded in slaying Qui-Gon. However, overconfidence, a common personality trait among the Zabrak species, led to my own immediate downfall when i then challenged Kenobi. Obi-Wan, enraged at his master's death, struck me outl with a furious assault of lightsaber swipes. But by doing this, he put himself at great risk. I eventually Force Pushed the vengeful Obi-Wan into a pit. He taunted the Jedi, who dangled helplessly by a ledge, watching his lightsaber fall down into the abyss. But by calming his anger over Jinn's death, and connecting with the Force, Kenobi was able to make a spectacular leap out of the shaft, and Force-guided Jinn's lightsaber into his own hands. Wasting no time in striking as he landed from his jump, Kenobi quickly sliced me in two before i could react.Several years after my death, I would later appear as an apparition to Anakin Skywalker in a cave on Ilum. Anakin was to enter a cave similar to the one Luke Skywalker (his son) would one day enter on Dagobah. Anakin was in a trance-like state and, when il appeared, immediately attacked. After a furious battle, Anakin won. However, as real as he might have looked, this vision of me was merely a creation of the dark side.
