Darth Vader's first red lightsaber was the first red-bladed lightsaber that Darth Vader, formerly known as Anakin Skywalker, wielded as a Sith. It was constructed in the wake of the Clone Wars, Vader having lost his blue-bladed weapon during his duel with Obi-Wan Kenobi on Mustafar. The kyber crystal at the core of the new saber was taken from Kirak Infil'a's weapon.

Description
Like all lightsabers, Darth Vader's original Sith weapon was powered by a kyber crystal in the core of the hilt.

History
In the very last stages of the Clone Wars, the Jedi Knight Anakin Skywalker ended up joining the Sith. At first, he simply continued wielding the second Jedi lightsaber he had built at the start of the war. However, that weapon was taken from Skywalker during a duel with his former Jedi Master, Obi-Wan Kenobi, on Mustafar. Skywalker, who now went by the Sith moniker of Darth Vader and was encased in a cybernetic armor due to the grave injuries sustained on Mustafar, remained weaponless for a short time.

Eventually, Vader's Sith Master Darth Sidious ordered him to build a Sith lightsaber. The first step was to seek out a Jedi from whom to take a kyber crystal. After locating and killing Master Kirak Infil'a, Vader returned to his Master with a green crystal. The second step was to go to an ancient Sith cave on Mustafar, where he would corrupt the Kyber crystal, making it "bleed" and assume a crimson hue.
