Cal resisted and defeated Malicos with the help of one of the Nightsisters, who buried Malicos alive using Dark Side magic.

Maul was no Jedi, but he was a powerful Force user and that made him a target of Order 66. He was aboard a Republic Starship as a prisoner when Order 66 was executed. Commander Rex gave his clone troopers the order to execute Maul, but Ahsoka Tano freed Maul and set him to task distracting the clones.
Maul became a crime lord during the time of the Empire but later became a reclusive hermit. Obsessed with Obi-Wan Kenobi, the Jedi who left him for dead on Naboo, he tracked Obi-Wan to Tatooine. They had a final duel, and Obi-Wan killed Maul. Before he died, Maul asked Obi-Wan if the boy he was watching over was the Chosen One. Obi-Wan said yes, and Maul said he believed Luke would avenge them.
