Tarre Vizsla

Tarre Vizsla was a force-sensitive Mandalorian who was born into Clan Vizsla during the reign of the Old Republic. Though the Mandalorian people had an aggressive history with force-sensitives such as the Jedi and the Sith, Tarre Vizsla was able to be raised by the members of Clan Vizsla as a warrior until his force-sensitivity was discovered by members of the Jedi Order. Rather than treating Vizsla as the threat they believed the Mandalorians to be, the Jedi decided to bring Vizsla back to the Jedi Temple on Coruscant and train him in the ways of the Force, becoming the first Mandalorian to join the Jedi Order. During his training, Vizsla constructed his own unique lightsaber, which his Clan would go on to identify as the Darksaber.

Eventually, this Mandalorian Jedi would pass on, whether he was killed in battle or died of age is unknown, but both his body and Darksaber would be kept at the Jedi Temple on Coruscant, a decision that Vizsla's Mandalorian clan were appalled at. Years later, during the Sith Order's invasion of Coruscant, members of Clan Vizsla managed to use the chaos as a cover to sneak into the Jedi Temple and steal Tarre Vizsla's Darksaber from the Jedi. Using Vizsla's Darksaber, the members of Clan Vizsla were able to unite the Mandalorians to follow under their rule. At some point around Clan Vizsla's takeover of Mandalore, a statue of Tarre Vizsla was created to honor his legacy as one of the most powerful members of Clan Vizsla to ever live.
