Darth Maul

Darth Maul is the main villain in Star Wars: Knights of the New Empire.

About him
Darth Maul was once the apprentice to Darth Sidious. However, during the Battle of Naboo, thirteen years before Anakin Skywalker's rise to power, he was cut in half by Mace Windu during the lightsaber battle between Maul, Mace Windu and Qui-Gon Jinn. Master Jinn cut his double-bladed lightsaber in half, reducing his lightsaber to a standard weapon. He and Jinn went into a saber lock and Master Windu cut the Sith warrior in half. However, due to his hate, he survived. Leaving Naboo, he ended up on a remote world, using the Force to assemble a spider-like set of legs. Over the next thirteen years, he slipped into madness. Then, he was found by his long-lost brother, Savage Opress, a former minion of the Separatist leader Count Dooku. He took them back to their home world of Dathomir, where he was given cyborg legs like those of a bird of prey. He rose again to dominance during the Clone Wars with Savage as his Sith apprentice. However, Sidious killed Savage in a fierce battle on Korriban, the Sith tombworld, and attempted to torture Maul to death. However, he escaped and hid in the old Sith Academy, where he waited. Later, he became Dark lord of the Sith when Sidious was killed by Anakin Skywalker. He took a red-skinned female Twi'lek who he named Darth Talon as his apprentice, and prepared to attempt to conquer the Galactic Empire. He is slain by Anakin in a duel during a battle on Dantooine.
