The black core of the blade appeared to draw in all surrounding light and color, leaving a faint white, electrical aura along its edges, it hummed with a higher-pitched whine than its more common lightsaber counterparts when the blade was active, and made a sound like a whistle when it was swung. Once held by the Jedi OrderStar Wars: Darksaber a period of collapse in the 's power, the Darksaber was stolen by members of the Mandalorian warrior clans.

Taking his place as their leader, a Secret Mandalore in opposition to both the traditional Mand'alor chosen by the warrior clans and the one appointed by the peaceful New Mandalorians, Vizsla made the Darksaber a symbol of his authority as leader. Star Wars: Darksaber the time the Galactic Republic clashed with the forces of the separatist Confederacy of Independent Systems in Star Wars: Darksaber pan-galactic conflict known as the Clone WarsPre Vizsla had taken his place as the leader of Star Wars: Darksaber Death Watch, [1] succeeding Tor as the new Secret Mandalore. Vizsla took to keeping the inactive Darksaber hilt slung on his back, just behind his right shoulder. When the Jedi Master Obi-Wan Kenobi —a friend and former lover of Duchess Kryze—uncovered Death Watch's hidden base among Concordia's beskar mines[11] Vizsla engaged Kenobi in a lightsaber duel as his troops evacuated [1] aboard their Kom'rk -class transports. Stripped of his governance and driven from the Mandalore system[4] Pre Vizsla led the Death Watch to settle on the snowy world of Carlac.

With Republic military forces moving to combat the Death Watch presence on Carlac, [13] Vizsla led the renegade sect to establish their operations on Zanbar. In 20 BBYwhile passing over the planet FlorrumDeath Watch encountered a seemingly derelict escape pod floating in space. Vizsla ordered the two Sith to be returned to Zanbar, where once they were conscious and their wounds healed, the three entered into Star Wars: Darksaber alliance of mutual benefit: the Sith would aid Death Watch's attempts to depose the New Mandalorians, while the Death Watch backed Darth Maul's plan of vengeance against Jedi Master Obi-Wan Kenobi, [14] who had nearly killed Maul over a Star Wars: Darksaber prior. On Nal Huttanegotiations for an alliance with the Hutt Grand Council failed, and in the resulting skirmishVizsla cut down numerous Nikto soldiers in the Hutts' service using the Darksaber.

On Mandalore, the criminal collective began a chaotic assault on the New Mandalorian capital city of Sundariagainst which the city's police units proved ineffective. Death Watch troops clashed with their secret criminal allies, and Pre Vizsla personally used the Darksaber in a staged battle against Savage Opress, defeating and arresting the Zabrak Force-user.

Darksaber in hand, Maul ordered the Star Wars: Darksaber killed, forcing the breakaway group to fight their way out of the palace. Almec was reinstated as the Prime Minister of the New Mandalorians, a puppet ruler for Maul who, [3] with the Darksaber now in his possession, was the Death Watch's new Secret Mandalore. Returning to the palace with both prisoners, Maul chose to take his vengeance on Kenobi by killing his former love before his eyesstabbing Kryze through the abdomen with the Darksaber. After allowing Kenobi to watch as she perished, Maul had him imprisoned to live with his emotional suffering, though the Jedi was able to escape with the assistance of Bo-Katan and her rebellious group.

It's unclear whether "defeating" means kill or just beat in a battle, but considering the Mandalorian people's history, we have to assume its the former.
