The Blackguard were a group of force weilders led by San’sii the Kursk and Vansk.

History
The Blackguard were formed by Vulta Daanat, a former member of the Brotherhood of Darkness and apprentice of Lord Kaan. They set up a base on the planet Mustafar, near the Southern Jedi Ruins at the Smoking Forest. There were four ranks of Blackguard: Minion, similiar to the Jedi youngling, Elite Minion, similiar to the Jedi padawan, Wilder, similiar to the Jedi Knight, Elite Wilder, similiar to the Jedi Master, and "The Kursk", similiar to the Jedi Grandmaster.

In 1 ABY, archaeologist Mi Fon Lu tasked a group of adventurers to destroy the Blackguard. The group managed to kill all of the Blackguard in the ruins, allowing Mi Fon Lu access. Althought it is possible that the organization survived.

Philosophy
The Blackguard believed to increase one`s knowledge of the force one must understand the philosophies and abilities of other Force traditions around the galaxy. Therefore the Blackguard had many members of their order scattered around the galaxy to acheive their goal. The blackguard also believed that there was no light or dark side and that force power is derived from the user`s intent.

Powers and abilities
The blackguard`s techinques came primarily from the teachings of their founder Vulta Daanat who trained under the leader of the Brotherhood of Darkness,Skere Kaan. Therefore it is likely that they were skilled at Battle Meditation, mind tricks, military strategy, force combat techinques and lightsaber combat.
