Darth Revan

Darth Revan
 A vastly influential 'extended universe' character, Revan played major parts in both the 'Mandalorian Wars' and the 'Jedi Civil War' and was born almost 4000 years before 'A new Hope'.
 In his early years, he became a Jedi and worked his way up to Knight status, fighting against the Mandalorian's in the Galactic Republic's war against them. Donning a fallen Mandalorian mask, he eventually became Supreme commander, however, when he slayed their leader, Mandalore the Ultimate, he and his friend Malak, discovered a Sith influence and tracking it down, they found a Sith Emperor, who managed to turn them to the dark side. They soon fled his grasp though and set up their own Sith regime, becoming Darth Revan and Darth Malak and this resulted in the terrible Jedi Civil War.
 However, Malak soon betrayed Revan and then female Jedi Bastila Shan captured him, before forming a force bond with him and wiping his memory.
 With his new identity as a Republic soldier, Revan protected Shan as Malak tried to kill the Jedi, then Revan was once more trained as a Jedi. Soon though, Malak managed to capture the pair, turning Shan to the dark side, as Revan's true identity was revealed. Revan was forced with a choice and decided to bring Shan back to the light side and defeated Malak.
 Revan eventually married Shan and for a while was content, but one day he was held captive again, this time by the Sith Emperor. He tried to escape with the help of others, but he failed and was kept captive in suspended animation for 300 years, until one day, the Republic eventually rescued him. He did then try to destroy the Sith Empire, but failed and went into complete obscurity. His teachings though would last for many a millennia, as Sith would study his methods and even the renowned Sith; Darth Bane, would learn from these, from where he decided on the Sith's 'rule of 2'.
 Revan, who was neither Jedi nor Sith and yet sometimes both, would go down in history, but his origins are so vast and complex, no-one truly knows, just what he did managed to accomplish, but either way, he was remembered as a pivotal Master in all he did.
