Revan

An influential figure in both the Mandalorian Wars and the Jedi Civil War, the man known as "Revan" was Jedi, Sith and general across his long career. As a charismatic young Jedi Knight, Revan ignored the Jedi Council's orders to remain neutral in the Mandalorian Wars and led many Jedi, including his friend Malak, into battle. While pursuing the remnants of the beaten Mandalorian fleet, Revan encountered the Sith Emperor on Dromund Kaas and--also alongside Malak--fell to the dark side.

Becoming Darth Revan, he led his followers in a war to conquer the Republic and re-establish a Sith Order, until he was betrayed and nearly killed by Malak. As a result of his injuries, Revan lost his memory and was given a new identity by the Jedi Council. The reborn Revan fought against his old followers, defeating Malak and redeeming himself--but the existence of the true Sith Empire, hidden away in the dark of the galaxy, remained a secret.

In the aftermath, as his memory began to return, Revan left the Republic to confront the Sith Emperor--but his plans to destroy the Emperor failed. Revan's allies were killed and Revan himself was imprisoned, kept alive by unnatural means for three hundred years while the Sith Emperor fed on his strength. However, the link between them went both ways, and Revan was able to subtly keep the Emperor in check.

With Revan now free, questions remain--both about the possibility of renewed aggression from the Emperor, and what effect such a long exposure to the Sith Emperor's mind may have had on Revan himself.

Revan Reborn

The Republic hero known as "Revan" had a turbulent past. As a Jedi general in the Mandalorian Wars, he led Republic forces to victory; as Darth Revan, corrupted by the will of the Sith Emperor, he became the Republic's deadliest enemy. Betrayed by his apprentice, Malak, Revan lost his memory and was given a new identity by the Jedi Council; he then pursued and destroyed Malak, redeeming himself before his memories of the Sith Empire began to return.

Revan left known space intending to find and stop the Sith Emperor, but his plan failed. He was captured and held in stasis by the Emperor for more than three hundred years, where he suffered under the Emperor's mental interrogation. He escaped at last, and it is clear that centuries spent linked to the Emperor's mind had a profound effect on him. During the Mandalorian Wars, Revan was willing to sacrifice his own troops to achieve military objectives; his creation of extermination droids now goes even further, demonstrating Revan's fanatical belief that any sacrifice is worthwhile to stop the Emperor.

Perhaps he is mad--the cost, paid willingly, to battle the Emperor's will and even exert his own influence on the Emperor to keep him in check. Or perhaps the ideals of the Jedi proved insufficient, in the end, for a man neither Jedi nor Sith.

The Jedi Entity

The Jedi Code teaches "there is no death; there is the Force." Some powerful Force-sensitives emerge from nothingness after their demise, appearing as ghostly figures that can communicate with the living. Among the Sith, such apparitions are fearsome spirits who refuse to accept their natural end; their peaceful Jedi counterparts are rare, reluctantly deferring their rest and reaching out to the living only when dreadful events are imminent. The Jedi entity's warnings, therefore, are taken very seriously by the Jedi Order.

Master Oteg has tried to discover the Jedi entity's name during their conversations, but her answers have been cryptic at best; clearly she views the freeing of her imprisoned ally to be more important than filling gaps in the Jedi Archives. The Jedi entity's manner of speaking and some of her references to historical events, however, suggest that she served as a general in the Jedi Civil War. When asked how she came to die, the Jedi entity's response has been blunt, saying only: "The betrayer always strikes with the best of intentions."
