Demtri Lightsaber in Star Wars Legends
The Demtri lightsaber is comprised of a standard cylindrical metal hilt. A series of claws crown the emitter. The claws angle inward toward the blade. The lightsaber emits a red blade.
Demtri is a member of the Malevolence Cult, a group of dark side practitioners dedicated to the ancient Sith Lord Andeddu. Demtri and the other cult members reside in Andeddu’s Keep, a fortress situated on the Deep Core world Prakith. The fortress contains many Sith artifacts along with the secret tomb of the ancient Sith Lord Darth Andeddu.
In 137 ABY, the Sith Lord Darth Wyyrlok III arrives at Andeddu’s Keep. Wyyrlok III is a member of Darth Krayt’s One Sith. He is searching for Andeddu ancient wisdom. When Darth Wyyrlok III enters the Keep, Demtri and the other members of the Malevolence Cult perceive him as an intruder and ignite their red-bladed lightsabers.
Outnumbered by the cultists, Darth Wyyrlok III uses Force illusion to confuse the Dark Jedi. Under the influence of the Wyyrlok III’s mind trick, Malevolence member Gerlun strikes down and kills Demtri.
