yeah, I was just watching that episode - based on his brothers being named Savage and Feral I'm assuming either

he's lying to Ezra (same with all the "oh no... definitely no sith here... I'm just interested totally not an ex-sith lord...." stuff)

he genuinely forgot his early life after the whole spider-maul trauma and doesn't know if that's his real name (it probably is, but the only people who can confirm that are dead)

or "Maul" is just the anglicization (Basicization? idk) of a even more over the top dathomirian name, which he does not remember

love that maul's the only sith who didn't have to get a fancy new Dramatic Sith Name because his birth name is literally Maul Opress

#star wars #maul #darth maul #i think originally in some comic the tattoos are a sith thing palpatine did #but tcw shows that actually the dathomirians just traditionally have sith tattoos #given that palps took him when he was a kid i'm assuming palpatine did do the sith tattoos for him #but the pattern is the same as what he would have gotten had he stayed w the nightbrothers #hmm lots of thoughts to explore there #anyways i wonder how many dathomirian sith lords there have been in comparison to other species #because between the names the colors and the culture #dathomirians are instant noodle sith (just add lightsabers!)
