Berusal Lightsaber in Star Wars Legends

The Berusal lightsaber is comprised of a standard cylindrical metal hilt with an emitter shroud and a series of vertical grips encircling the lower part of the hilt. The lightsaber emits a magenta blade.

Berusal, along with the other members of the Scions of Zakuul, specializes in seeing the future through Force vision. The Scions of Zakuul, a subgroup of the knights of Zakuul serve the Eternal Empire. After Price Arcann ascends to the throne, he orders the killing of all members of the Scions of Zakuul.

Berusal, Vanat, and a few other Scions escape and go into hiding at the shadowport Asylum. The surviving Scions, under the leadership of Heskal, encounter the Outlander and wonder why they cannot see the Outlander’s future. The Scions question and engage the Outlander in a series of combat tests which ultimate reveal the presence of the Valkorion inside the mind of the Outlander. Berusal and the other Scions at the shadowport Asylum swear allegiance to the Outlander.

After Heskal experiences a Force vision, he alerts Arcann to the presence of the Outlander and the Scions at Asylum. He believes it’s fate to force a confrontation with Arcann. Arcann arrives and personally kills the Scions. Berusal is presumed to have died in the skirmish.
