The COMPLETE Story of DARTH MAUL

Darth Maul was born to Mother Talzin in 54 BBY, on the secluded world of Dathomir. As Zabrak males, he and his brother, Feral were Nightbrothers, and in accordance with Dathomiri tradition, the children were tattooed before their first birthdays. Maul revealed later in life that he once had a real name but had long since forgotten it.
Whilst Maul was still a child, his mother formed an alliance with Darth Sidious, the Dark Lord of the Sith, and the two exchanged Dark Side alchemy and Nightsister magicks, enhancing both their power. When Sidious would arrive to meet Talzin, Maul would hide away in his chamber, afraid of the mysterious man and anxious about Talzin's increasing connection to him. Maul grew up in the Nightbrother village with his brother Feral, having to care for his younger, weaker sibling due to Talzin’s constant absence from the community.
As a result of his Force-sensitivity, he always felt a connection to nature and the forest beyond their home. Had his circumstances been different, perhaps this connection might have been cultivated into something positive, and he could have one day become a formidable Jedi. However, his cruel upbringing would steer the young Zabrak onto a far darker path.
Sidious eventually forced Talzin to hand over Maul, threatening to back out of his pledge to make her his apprentice. Maul stormed into the jungle, enraged, after overhearing the exchange from behind his closed door. A Nightbrother kidnapped him the following morning when he returned home, throwing him into a pit and denying him the chance to say goodbye to his mother.
Maul was subjected to months of brutal abuse , all engineered by Sidious. His keeper’s two sons beat him until he was unable to stand and only fed him scraps, keeping him malnourished. Maul's perceptions were distorted as a result of this, and his affection for his mother morphed into bitterness and loathing for abandoning him. Mauls' rage began to manifest through the Dark Side, and he practised it whenever he had the chance. They ceased abusing him after noticing that their provocations no longer affected him. When rumours spread of a man arriving for the selection of a warrior apprentice, Ma Dathomir. Additionally, this restored Maul’s memories.

When rumours spread of a man arriving for the selection of a warrior apprentice, Maul's keeper refused to let him join, but he broke down his sealed door using the Dark Side and followed anyway. Maul discovered, however, that the visitor to the Selection Arena was Sidious, the man he hated most.
A fit of uncontrollable rage led him to Force-choke the two brothers, then the keeper, all in front of Sidious and Talzin. To Talzin's dismay, Sidious named Maul the winner and his new apprentice. Sidious kidnapped Maul and fled Dathomir, leaving Talzin pledging to reclaim her kidnapped son and exact vengeance on Sidious. At some point following this, she had a third son, Savage, although he remained completely unaware of his eldest brother's existence. After inhaling the ashes of the long-dead Sith, Maul saw a force vision similar to the one he had years prior.
The vision showed Maul as a Jedi. He had protected a fellow Zabrak from a monster and to honour him, Maul was asked to dine with other Zabraks. However, after partially breaking free from the hallucinations, he felt disgusted by the Zabraks' worship of the Jedi and slaughtered all of them, proving that he truly did embrace the way of the sith.
After returning to reality, Maul was commended by his master and recognised that destroying the Jedi would require more than his fury and emotions; it would also take strategy, patience

Darth Maul must have been the only character who's suffered as much as Vader.

[@drakox9603]

I would say more

[@VadersFortress2]

Maybe Grievous?

[@drakox9603]

@@VadersFortress2 I have seen grievous his is not as bad in my opinion

[@Synthetic_Soul_CH]

Vader suffered intensely both physically and mentally for 20 years, but he had happy times as Anakin, and he had relationships with other people. Maul didn't suffer as physically like Vader, but he never had a truly happy moment, and only had maybe two genuine relationships with other people. It's a bit hard to say who had it worse in that regard.

[@94462]

What about Darth Sion?

[@jacksonsneed7689]

That scene in Rebels was incredible. I never thought Maul's death would hit me in the feels so hard, but when he says: "He . . will . . avenge . . us . . . . " 😢

[@hunterkiller1440]

The Clone Wars made me love Maul even more.

[@MrSpannners]

Well that and rebels made him an actual character instead of just a 1 dimensional sith assassin

[@darth_vedant669]

Love how he gets on to the point like straight away

[@juicebox6581]

Anakin and maul were slaves from birth. Grievous was free at birth. Maul was a slave to torment and pain from the darkside. Anakin was a physical slave but id argue mauls upbringing experience was worse. Plus atleast anakin was freed and he found happiness for a little while falling head over heals for padme. Maul however was abused as a child by everyone he ever met. And sith training isnt like jedi. Sith get their power from the bad emotions and feelings. Basically the more pain and agonony the sith feels, the stronger he can be. And maul had plenty to spare. Not a good way to live.

[@friend610]

criminally underrated video and channel. thanks for the video, my dude

[@VadersFortress2]

appreciate that a lot! glad u enjoy :)

[@Big_Ego]

mauls fight with ashoka makes so much sense to me, especially in that moment the pain and anger she would've been feeling after maul told her something she simply could not accept. she was definitely channeling some dark side energy, on top of her already mounting disillusionment with the jedi order. i love little bits of star wars like this that really make you think about the psyche of the character

[@ChilleBruh]

My favorite Star Wars character, love his arc!

[@stigkenobi7525]

Your favorite arc is one that completely contradicts the movies. Gottcha. Not too bright, are you?

[@prakash1691]

This is why everyone likes him

[@connorberube2490]

Thanks for recapping this story, such a great story

[@Aneditorwhoschannelisdead]

I got teared up from this great video

[@shaneharris6555]

I had no idea that there was such much happening between sidious/maul’s duel and the siege of manadlore

[@springlockgamerstudios6699]

I get to pick the movie tonight

[@shaneharris6555]

Do a video on grievous or the grand inquisitor

[@dstinnettmusic]

They could have called him “The Phantom”….would have been a great callback to Episode 1

[@BrianMerkey]

INCREDIBLE video! Darth Maul was AWESOME! But let's face facts. Maul was never a "Sith Lord". As part of Darth Bane's Grand Plan he wasn't even a true Sith Apprentice. Darth Maul was a true Sith, but just as a Sith Assassin. The genius of The Rule of Two was that there were never any more than 2 TRUE Sith, which led let dark side practicioners hide in plain sight, eventually leading to Darth Studious, under Darth Plagueis, literally ruling the Galaxy. That was the entire point of the Grand Plan, which worked perfectly. It only took a thousand years to get a true Sith Lord sitting atop the throne of the universe. For anybody and everybody that will scream that I'm wrong....instead of only watching TV shows, try reading a few books. I've read over 200 Star Wars novels and 4 of the best are "Darth Plagueis" by James Luceno and the absolutely brilliant Darth Bane trilogy by Drew Karpyshin. They explain and lay out the entire Grand Plan, with the Sith'ari eventually ruling everything

[@stigkenobi7525]

TCW and Rebels completely contradicts the movies, which makes this whole video factually wrong. Basically the whole video is fake news.

[@DarthMichael69]

For the contest: My lightsaber would be gold and white. Like Exar Kun's the saber hilt is short but double-bladed. Both lightsaber crystals would be exposed at either end of the saber hilt. The blade would be turquoise, the colour which according to your quiz bests suits my personality. I also really liked the idea of the Ettan crystals (I'm not sure if this is how you spell it) that you talked about on your shorts channel. As they can absorb energy from the enemies lightsaber this would suit my more aggressive style used in my double bladed saber.

[@pason6811]

i never knew savage and maul were actual blood related brothers

[@soularprimestudios5930]

Yep and there was a third one too if I remember

[@bluelitening9450]

Videos on Luke skywalker

[@nicholasguarino4612]

I would love more Zabrak lore. Their customs and history is fascinating

[@wittycoolman9234]

Honestly, my ideal lightsaber might not be for everybody, but I would go for the lava saber. I may get hurt, but if I had the force I could just use the force so sling the lava from the blade onto my opponent.

[@94462]

You forgot to mention that he killed his teenage love interest when he grew up and killed everyone in his school

[@soularprimestudios5930]

Oh yeah that's crazy and interesting

[@Darkknightz92]

I think my ideal lightsaber would be one like maul’s inquisitor lightsaber the sleek yet menacing look is just amazing

[@MatthewAbiera-pe6tn]

A double blade with a blade with a gold color and you can see cyber and to little hand blade pls

[@CamF156]

You should read the wrath of Darth maul

[@INxYOxBASE]

I really like the inquisitor emitter, and I’d love to see it on a thin-necked saber (like OWK Ep4). I think that would look sleek as. Pair it with a Proffie ofc 😊
