His story didn't end when Obi-Wan Kenobi cut him in half...
Maul: Shadow Lord is here! To help prepare, here is Maul's complete story in canon so far up until the events of the new animated series, as seen in The Clone Wars, The Phantom Menace, and several books and comics. Formerly Darth, now just Maul.
From Wookiepedia:
Maul, known simply as the Shadow during the Imperial Era, was a Force-sensitive Dathomirian Zabrak male who established himself as a crime lord during the reign of the Galactic Empire. He was known as Darth Maul as the apprentice of Darth Sidious. Having trained in the ways of the Force, Darth Maul was a formidable warrior strong with the dark side and possessed deadly skills in lightsaber combat. After he lost his place as the Dark Lord of the Sith at Sidious' side, Maul remained a scheming mastermind who plotted to gain ever more power. Maul survived the end of the Clone Wars, witnessing the Great Jedi Purge of Order 66 and Sidious's rise as Galactic Emperor. Chastened by his former Master on the principle of the Rule of Two, Maul abandoned his claim to the mantle of the Sith, focusing instead on building an empire of his own—the Crimson Dawn—by controlling the criminal underworld. Ultimately though, Maul remained driven by the desire for revenge, specifically against Sidious, the Master who disowned him, and Kenobi, the Jedi who defeated him.
