Gar Saxon

"I don't know what Lord Maul's big plan is, but it's not working.''" "Rein it in, soldier. We don't question the strategy&mdash;we ensure its success''."

- Black Sun soldier and Gar Saxon

Gar Saxon was a Mandalorian super commando commander who worked for the Shadow Collective during the Clone Wars. He was one of the two-man extraction squad that rescued Darth Maul, the leader of the Shadow Collective, from the Spire. Later he commanded Maul's ground forces during General Grievous' invasion of the Collective base on Ord Mantell. In the years prior to the Galactic Civil War, Saxon served as the Imperial Viceroy of Mandalore.

Mission to Stygeon Prime
Saxon, along with Rook Kast, were sent by Mandalore Prime Minister Almec to free Darth Maul from the Spire on Stygeon Prime. The duo managed to successfully free Maul without problem and escape on a Mandalorian Gauntlet fighter towards Zanbar, as instructed by Almec prior to the attack.

Zanbar
After freeing Maul, Saxon took him to Zanbar's secret Shadow Collective base. General Grievous, under orders from Count Dooku attacked the planet with his droid army. During this attack, Saxon fought alongside his fellow Shadow Collective soldiers. After Grievous' droids defeated the majority of the soldiers, Saxon escaped the brutal battle along with Maul, Kast and other members of the Shadow Collective and headed towards Ord Mantell where they would meet up with members of the Pyke Syndicate and Black Sun at the base on the planet.

Ord Mantell
Saxon, on Ord Mantell with the rest of the Shadow Collective, staged the next attack against the Separatist Forces. Saxon was then put in command of the ground forces that would fight the droid army in the attack. Unfortunately, Saxon and his men were defeated and rounded up so that the droids could eliminate them. Luckily, Maul made Grievous turn off the droids command signal which, in turn, allowed Saxon and his men to live another day. With the droids deactivated, Saxon and his men tore the droid army apart. Saxon, then, along with his men, saved the Zabrak Viscus and captured Count Dooku, who had been about the kill the Night brother.

Vizsla Keep 09
After Ord Mantell, Saxon and the rest of the Shadow Collective escaped to Vizsla Keep 09, a Mandalorian supply outpost near Ord Mantell. By this time, the Republic had been notified of the events on Ord Mantell and sent an attack on the outpost. Saxon was present while Maul told Sidious of the failure of his apprentice and general. He later took Grievous to a high security cell while Maul attempted to persuade Dooku to join him as his new apprentice. Soon, Saxon was forced to take charge of his men when a Republic assault led by Obi-Wan Kenobi and Jedi Master Tiplee attacked the outpost. While the assault took place, Maul and his new ally Count Dooku joined the fray around the same time as Mace Windu and the Twi'lek Aayla Secura. Maul began to clash with Secura and Windu while Dooku fought Kenobi and Tiplee. While this occurred, Saxon instructed Kast to shoot a missile at Secura before she defeated Maul. With Secura distracted, Saxon, Kast, Maul, and later Dooku entered a Gauntlet fighter and escaped, leaving Kenobi, Secura, Windu, and a dead Tiplee on the outpost.

Fragmentation of the Collective
Later, while on course for Dathomir, Maul contacted Ziton Moj, and a Pyke leader via hologram. The two threatened to leave the Shadow Collective if they were not paid what they were promised. Once the leaders left, Maul contacted Saxon and told the commander to keep the two in line. However, this would be for naught, as the Shadow Collective would dissolve shortly thereafter when Separatist fleets attacked the Black Sun and Pyke Syndicate.

Age of the Empire
Following the dissolution of the Shadow Collective, Saxon joined the Galactic Empire.
