Nihlus Vexrii is a Force Disciple affiliated with Clan Taldryan
Biography
Before Darkness
Not much is known about Nihlus Vexrii's time before the Brotherhood. He was born on his species homeworld Umbara just prior to the destruction of the DS-2 Battle Station and raised there by an Imperial science officer - a weapons developer in service to Umbaran-Imperial technical cooperation initiative. His mother died during childbirth, leaving him to be raised in a strict doctrine by his father Xil, who believed that one day a new Empire would emerge.
Prior to leaving Umbara, Nihlus spent time as a soldier with the Umbaran military. There, he received training on anti-Jedi tactics and slugthrower weapons. Vexrii served with the Umbaran military for only a few missions - receiving anti-Jedi and slugthrower training - before being offered a chance by an agent of the Dark Jedi Brotherhood to join the powerful organization.
Incursion
Antei's moon, Lyspair
Vexrii enlisted in the Brotherhood. Following tradition at the time, he was dropped off via shuttle on the surface of Lyspair and made the journey to the Shadow Academy. The Test of Lore was administered and passed, with Nihlus being indoctrinated into the Brotherhood as a Journeyman. All of his possessions were surrendered to the coffers of the Dark Brotherhood and started his new career with nothing - the bottom of the food chain. Returning to Taldryan led the Umbaran to attend and graduate the Taldryan Military's training institute on Karufr. Vexrii transfered to the Dark Prophet as part of one of her starfighter wings while he continued his studies. Immediately upon joining the crew of the vessel they attended a military ceremony meant to honour the winners of the recent Rite of Supremacy - Second Darkness.
Forces from several of the Brotherhood's clan's attended the awards ceremony meant to celebrate the three victors, held just outside The Shroud. As the festivities were underway and recognition being given by the Sith, an alien race devoid of the Force commanding a fleet more than twice the size of the present forces launched an all out assault on the Brotherhood vessels. With this the Eighth Great Jedi War begun, the Dark Prophet sacrificing herself as a retreat order into The Shroud was given by the leadership.
Nihlus was one of several pilots able to successfully launch their craft before the Victory-class Star Destroyer suffered catastrophic hull failure and vented her innards into space, and successfully made a return to the Venator-class Star Destroyer Katarn which itself had suffered incredible damage and had almost failed to make the retreat. During the trip back to Antei the Umbaran served as an engineer aboard the limping cruiser until it was able to regroup with other forces. Later on, the Dark Lord of the Sith Aristan Dantes would call for a complete retreat from Antei, leading a full abandonment of the planet and the Shadow Academy on it's moon.
During the aftermath of the assault and loss of the Brotherhood center of power, Nihlus returned with his fellow Dark Jedi back to the Kr'Tal System. A short time after the Umbaran pilot returned the Cotelin-class Star Destroyer Justice was commissioned by Taldryan's leadership. Vexrii's next posting would be the Justice, his potential as a pilot not un-noticed.
Karufr, home of Clan Taldryan
Nihlus spent quite some time aboard the Cotelin-class destroyer, branching out slowly as a Dark Jedi and improving his abilities with practice. He occasionally assisted the engineers by lending an extra hand on repairs and maintenance when he could spare the time. A large portion of his time however was spent inside the flight simulators, practicing his skills in an effort to perfect them. The Umbaran quickly became known as a reputable squadron mate and enjoyed a rather relaxed position aboard the cruiser even as Operation: Swift Justice was underway.

Devorantem is the custom lightsaber constructed by Nihlus shortly after becoming Keeper of the Holcrons. It was constructed from a set of plans created by an Ancient Sith weapons designer and alchemist Lord Phuxall, who Nihlus had formed an obsession with. A unique thin obsidian-steel hilt flanked by dark and regular chrome jagged edges and fitted with a smooth to the touch comfort grip.
Big explanation about how it was built, and the Kyber crystal turning translucent-yellow upon it's awakening by Nihlus.
Shadowsteel
Shadowsteel is a unique crossguard lightsaber constructed by Nihlus after joining the Grand Master's Royal Guard. It is made from a perfectly machined block of dark chrome titanium, with two crossguard blade emitters that face away and towards the user. The weapon was built for duels with lightsaber-wielding opponents specifically.
Bigger blurb on the lightsaber.
