Power. [Maul says simply.] That has been the goal of his whole life, to gain so much power he can control the entire galaxy, and become immortal so that he will never lose it. He has never cared for another person in his entire life. Everyone is just a tool to be used and then discarded.

Most people who become evil are not born into it. They are taught. But my master? He is one of the rare few I believe was born with something wrong deep inside of him, twisted, evil, and dark. He killed his whole family for the sake of it long before I was even born. His mother, father, brothers, and sisters. All dead and done without a second thought but for the power it would grant him. Anyone who can do that is capable of anything.
