The Lore of Shadow Stalker

There are many fates worse than death, but few are as brutal as being transformed into a Sith Stalker. Their bodies are torn apart, and what was once a free being is molded into a cybernetic monstrosity whose sole purpose is executing the will of the Emperor as a slave.

Rumors has it that one of these cosmic reapers brandished a lightsaber that was forged through the same torturous metamorphosis as his body. Some believe that this process of forceful re-creation had imbued the weapon with a uniquely strong connection to the Dark Side and to its wielder.

That foreboding saber was a Korvus, for its exposed crystal chamber would vent the rage that boiled through the Kyber. The hilt’s design closely resembles the armor of its owner and is likely made from the very same materials. The variable-length emitter bears the sturdy outlines of Sith body plating, which then continue around the switch sleeve before flowing all the way down to the pommel.

And like how flesh was burned away so that machine might take its place, these intricate designs were acid etched on to this hilt – the excess material corroded off, leaving behind immortalized metal scars. Finally, it was cloaked in tarnished silver and a shadowy black, which lends this ominous hilt the same sinister countenance as the one who wields it.

If the whispers are true, then this saber was crafted in a crucible of agony, and it bears a fearsome legacy of darkness and domination. Its haunting aura lingers like a predator just out of view, which is why the very few who escaped its clutches call this the ‘Shadow Stalker’.
