[He listens to Wesker, and once again, the similarities between their lives are driven home to Maul. To be chosen from the time they were young, brought to the attention of someone or something more powerful than themselves that took them for their own purposes, taught everything they needed to fulfill while being manipulated by one in the shadows for their own purposes, and turned into what they needed.
About the only point where they differed is that Maul hadn't been manipulated on a genetic level, though he was certain Sidious would have done it had he thought it would improve Maul's abilities physically or in the Force at all. Clearly, he'd learned a bit from the time of teaching his adoptive son if his idea of putting chips in the heads of the clone army to make them obey without thinking was any indication.]
A very familiar story, I am afraid, given what happened in my own life as we both know.
