Whos that evil looking C-3PO?

Who is he and where can I read about him?

 

Dagobah1234: That'd be C-3PX. He appeared both in the series "Droids", as well as Star Wars Gamer #3 and Star Wars Episode I Adventures: The Fury of Darth Maul.

Here's a short description for you.

A psychotic 3PO-series droid, C-3PX was originally owned by the Sith Lord, Darth Maul. This gold-plated droid was humanoid in stature, although its head lacked any sort of face. It was based on the Cybot Galactica TC-series protocol droid, but was modified by Darth Maul to contain no less than eighty-three different weapons.The droid was designed to act as the primary security measure aboard his Sith Infiltrator, and sometimes served as a co-pilot. Maul and C-3PX allowed themselves to be captured by Bartokk assassins on Ralltiir, during a mission to acquire droid starfighters for the Trade Federation. Maul managed to escape, but C-3PX was left behind. After Maul learned that the Bartokks had been hired by Groodo the Hutt, he arranged for the destruction of the Ralltiir facility. It was believed that C-3PX was still inside when the building exploded. However, this was not the case. The droid was partially dismantled when it was purchased by Olag Greck, who reprogrammed the droid to be an assassin. C-3PX evaded capture for a while, until it returned to Hosk Station. There, it was involved in a series of strange events when C-3PO's cranium was patched with an X-shaped marking. Both droids were taken for the assassin droid, and both ended up in Olag Greck's gladiator droid arena facing R2-D2. C-3PO survived, but C-3PX was destroyed by the power mallet mounted on R2-D2's Mandalorian battle armor. C-3PX had stun weapons and lasers built into its arms, and had a unique laser weapon built into the back of its head.


There ya go, mate.
