Summary
| Maw was a Boltrunian male Jedi who fell to the dark side of the Force and joined Inquisitor Jerec's cadre of Dark Jedi, assisting him in his search for the fabled Valley of the Jedi, which Jerec hoped to use to help rebuild the Galactic Empire.Maw was once a Jedi Knight, but his refusal to take on a Padawan and his general selfishness meant that he never attained the rank of Jedi Master. He had always been a relentless tracker, though, and was attached to a group of Jedi Shadows, investigators intent on rooting out and destroying the dark side. After the Clone Wars, Maw and his compatriots were hunted down by Inquisitor Jerec, who succeeded in turning Maw to the dark side while the rest were slaughtered by Jerec and the newly turned Dark Jedi. Jerec afterward took the Maw under his wing, teaching him to smell the panic of his prey and taste their fear like a trained bloodsniffer.In 5 ABY, in an effort to learn about the location of the Valley, Jerec attempted to capture the Jedi Master Qu Rahn on the planet Dorlo. Maw and fellow Dark Jedi Sariss and Yun were assigned to capture Rahn on the surface of the planet, but failed their mission. Although Rahn escaped from the planet aboard a CR90 corvette, the ship was captured in the tractor beam of Jerec's personal Super Star Destroyer, the Vengeance.Aboard the Vengeance, Jerec ripped the information he needed from Rahn's mind, but immediately afterward, the Jedi stole Yun's lightsaber and attacked Jerec's darksiders. Before Rahn was killed by Jerec, Maw's legs were severed from his body by Rahn. Maw survived and replaced his legs with a repulsorlift carriage, but eventually mastered the art of Force flight. Due to his injury, he also came to be known as the Half-Man.Eventually, Jerec located the Valley of the Jedi on the planet Ruusan, and his forces occupied the planet. However, Jerec was tracked down by Katarn, Kyle|, who tried to stop the Dark Jedi. Maw confronted Katarn on a landing pad near the cargo freighter Sulon Star and was defeated. Immobilized and defenseless, he taunted Katarn with remarks of his father's death, trying to goad him into the dark side. Katarn succumbed to his anger and murdered Maw, but was ultimately able to resist his dark thoughts and remained with the light. | ||
