Origin and History of the Black Lightsaber

The Dark Saber was born a thousand years ago from the hand of Tare Vizsla, who was also the first Mandalorian to join the Jedi Order. The hilt of the Darksaber is made of a special metal with intricate engravings, both the hilt and the blade are a deep and intense black color, when the lightsaber is ignited it emits a distinctive humming sound, and at that point the Darksaber is no longer all black, the edge of the blade emits a dazzling white light that contrasts sharply with the mysterious black color.

After Vizsla's death, perhaps realizing the importance of the Darksaber or fearing its power, the Jedi Order kept the Darksaber in the Jedi Temple. However, the Black Lightsaber was not to be buried there, and during another Vizsla Clan attack on the Temple, they retrieved it from the Temple's grasp.
