Biography

Battle with Sector Security

At some point before the rise of the First Order and their war against the Resistance, Vicrul joined the Knights of Ren, an organization of Force-sensitive warriors who followed the dark side and an ideology based on the Ren, the lightsaber wielded by Ren, the leader of the Knights. Traveling throughout the galaxy, the Knights of Ren searched for other Force users to join their ranks.

After hearing from their master about the Force-sensitive criminal Karrst, who, along with his brother Filin, caused over one hundred deaths, Vicrul and the other Knights of Ren sought to locate him. Eventually finding the brothers under attack from forces of Sector Security, Vicrul and the Knights of Ren dealt with the aggressors while Ren spoke to Karrst.

After Karrst hesitated when Ren informed him that entry into the Knights of Ren required the death of his brother, Filin instead killed Karrst and requested to join in his place. However, as Filin was not sensitive to the Force, Ren killed him. Vicrul asked Ren what they should do next, to which the leader of the Knights replied "find something to burn".

Battle of Exegol

A short time after the hunt for Rey, Vicrul and the other Knights of Ren were lurking in the Sith Citadel of Darth Sidious on Exegol. During the Battle of Exegol, Kylo Ren, now the redeemed Ben Solo, entered the Citadel in an attempt to kill Sidious.

Before Solo could reach the Throne of the Sith, Vicrul and the Knights confronted their former master. The Knights were able to swiftly overwhelm Solo in his unarmed state, forcing him to the ground and beating him. However, through the use of their Force-bond, Rey was able to give Solo his grandfather's lightsaber. Using Anakin's lightsaber, Ben cut down the Knights of Ren, including Vicrul.

Powers and abilities

Vicrul was Force-sensitive, and an adept in the dark side of the Force. Although he was untrained in the Force, Vicrul was still capable of manifesting some Force powers, but these powers came unbidden and uncontrolled. Vicrul passively projected fear on his opponents, and possessed enhanced reflexes.

Vicrul, alongside the other Knights of Ren, had fighting skills and martial prowess few could rival. Despite Vicrul's apparent skill, he was still effortlessly cut down by Ben Solo during the Battle of Exegol.

Equipment

Vicrul's weapon of choice was an annealed phrik scythe. Vicrul's scythe featured an ultrasonic vibro-tech setting that allowed the blade to rend flesh with the smallest of glancing blows. Despite preferring to fight his opponents at close range, Vicrul carried a blaster pistol holstered to his hip in case of emergency.

Vicrul wore predominately black clothing like the rest of the Knights. He was mostly covered in a coat made from the skin of a monstrously large reptilian creature he had killed in the past. Vicrul's helmet was made of pastillion ore, with synth-leather ear flaps that concealed the helmet's opening seam.

Behind the scenes

Vicrul's helmet was based off of unused concept art for the "Jedi Killer"' by Glyn Dillon which he dubbed "grenade head". He made his first appearance in Star Wars: Episode VII The Force Awakens in a Force vision experienced by Rey. He was played by martial artist Anton Simpson-Tidy in the 2019 movie Star Wars: Episode IX The Rise of Skywalker, although the character is only listed as "Knight of Ren" in the movie's credits.
