He was rescued by a squad of Mandalorians and raised as one of their own.
Its unclear who was commanding those Battle Droids, however.
Greef Karga is a disgraced magistrate.
So Carl Weathers character was a former lawman of sorts.
Also, he was supposed to have been executed for war crimes.
This is a biggie.
The weapon passed through various characters in its long history (including Darth Maul).

The finale suggests Gideon stole the Darksaber during The Purge of Mandalore.
