Darksaber

"This lightsaber was stolen from your Jedi Temple by my ancestors during the fall of the Old Republic. Since then many Jedi have died upon its blade. Prepare yourself to join them!"

- Pre Vizsla to Obi-Wan Kenobi

The darksaber was an ancient, black-bladed lightsaber. The weapon once belonged to the Jedi Order, but was stolen by the Mandalorians in a conflict with the Jedi during the fall of the Old Republic. The Darksaber was passed down, generation to generation, by the ancestors of Pre Vizsla, who held onto the weapon even after the pacifist ideals of the New Mandalorians replaced the warrior ways of Mandalore. The last known Mandalorian to own the blade was Pre Vizsla, the leader of Death Watch during the Clone Wars. He used the blade during his conflicts with the New Mandalorians, including his successful coup of Mandalore. After the coup, Darth Maul killed Vizsla and took the darksaber as his own, becoming the leader of Death Watch.

In the events of "Darth Maul Son of Dathomire," Darth Maul utilized it without his usual red lightsaber. darth maul used it against Darth Tyranis to General Grievous. Maul eventually fled at the end and returned in rebells without the awesome weapon the legendary Darksaber.

Theories. After "Son of Dathomire," When Maul fled with Deathwatch he probably was betrayed by one of the members who wanted to carry Visla's legacy causing maul to flee again he or she took the weapon while maul wen't to malachore.
