What if?: One Death

Slim to none

The Jedi got onto the elevator after the doctors and healers returned to the room.
"What was that?" Obi-wan asked looking around at the master who all looked like they were in deep thought.
"Maul wasn't himself and than he was. It was like someone was flicking on and off a switch in him." Obi-wan explained
"I think he has either an Identity or personality disorder." The Jedi Zabrak spoke up.
"Why do you say that Master Koth?" Master Mundi asked
"He said Sidious had taken him as an infant, multiple master's that made him do things he refuses to talk about, and he kept switching between a man full of fear from the outside world and a what we fear him to be. Him being raised as a Sith, we already know he's been physically abused, but what did his other master's do? It's obvious that it's worse than being beaten daily. It seems like they've also done him some mental damage. If so than his switch between personas is involuntary. Padawan Kenobi? You mention to Maul that he decided to call you Kenobi, but when he answered you he sounded confused correct?" Master Koth analyzed
"Yes he did. It sounded like he was doubting himself, but than pushed it aside not even questioning me if he really did so. I just figured that was him being so obedient." Obi-wan explained
"When someone has an identity or personality disorder, one of the identities or personas may make a decision and remember it, while the others know nothing about it. My guess is that his other persona that we fear him to be has become self aware that it switches with other personas and that it is quickly adaptive. If I am correct we've only seen two personas of Maul." Master Koth explained
"Are you saying there's more sides to Maul that we have yet to see Master Koth?" Obi-wan asked
"Perhaps. Having an identity or personality problem can be simple at times with only two different personas. Other times it can be difficult, one person could hold several, tens or even hundreds of different personas. This Darth Plagueis chose his timing to his advantage. If I am right and Maul does have this problem, he can switch between them without his knowledge. We have yet to grasp how many Mauls there truly are inside of this apprentice. So far Maul is a coin. Two opposing personas: the first one, fear and obedience, the second one seems to be headstrong, stubborn and willing to make his own decisions. Though it only appeared after Darth Plagueis made his presence known to us. There could be something else to this persona or more Mauls just waiting for their turn to control his body." Master Koth explained himself
"If you are right Master Koth, I dislike this plan even more. Padawan Kenobi, how can you be so sure that Maul's personalities won't switch during the plan and ruin it?" Master Windu looked at Obi-wan
"The way Maul spoke when he told the plan, he sounded scared, but at the end confident than at the last second scared again. Almost as if the two personalities of Maul that we know were making up the plan together. I'm not 100% sure this will work, but I will give it my best to see that everyone on our side is not killed. I will not give up on Maul like that." Obi-wan kept a stubborn tone almost in complete defiance against the council member.
"Having a personality or identity disorder can be crippling for some people Padawan Kenobi. Not just for the person with the disorder, but also for the person taking care of them. If you help Maul, it could put off your knighting. Are you sure you are ready for that?" Master Koth advised Obi-wan
"Maul sees me as his new master in every persona we have seen so far. Which means weather I like it or not he is dependent on me and I am willing to take care of him. If we are successful in rehabilitating him, who's to say that if there are anymore Sith apprentices that they can not be turned into the light?" Obi-wan declared in the elevator.
"I hope you do realize, Padawan Kenobi that Maul has never known any source of light before his training. If you are proposing what I think you are, you could ultimately pulled into the darkness as well. You are going to be attempting to craft light out of darkness. This path is an extremely dangerous one with little chance of Maul being able to live among a normal society and you turning to the dark side. Are you truly prepared to take on this challenge?" Master Windu glared at the determined padawan.
"As I said before. If there is a chance to save Maul and bring him into the light than I will take it. No matter how small everyone in this elevator thinks it is. It is big enough for me to take the challenge. No matter what the costs to me are. If I can save Maul, than other Jedi can save Sith. It maybe only the beginning steps to do so, but I think it is worth the risks. Maul needs me and you all can tell that he is crying for help. If Maul was a planet of people in civil war that was crying for our help, than we would help them. I do not see the difference between them." Obi-wan restated to Master Windu and the other masters on the elevator.
"What ever the path you decide the best my padawan, I will be there to help you." Master Qui-gon spoke up
"If we are able to rehabilitate him, even a little it could help for whatever the Force has in store for us in the future." Master Koth agreed with Obi-wan while Master Windu and Mundi stayed quiet on the subject. The plan Maul came up with was a go and the Jedi had to prepare themselves for whatever shocking discovery they may make while the plan is in motion.
