Essay on Revan
First of all, this isn't an essay that's going to say that Revan never fell, that the Jedi Council was evil, that Malak was the evil one of the two, or that Revan was the most awesome/powerful character ever. I don't believe any of those. But I do believe that 's  made Revan a very interesting character and there's more to be learned about him fro the dialogue than one would think. His story is why I think he's such an intriguing character.

In , Revan was considered by most players to be an "awesome" character - because they thought it was "cool" being a former Dark Lord of the Sith who could either save or rule the galaxy. And wear a cloak and mask. But until , he wasn't exactly an interesting character. We may have wondered how he turned, who he was, etc., but there was no information given and all we could do was have baseless speculation. All we knew about Revan: Revan was a Sith. Revan had his mindwiped and became a Jedi. Revan saved/ruled the galaxy and took revenge on his apprentice, who betrayed him but who he'd also been manipulating the whole time. You could say he was a bit Mary Sue-ish.

He wasn't such an intriguing character until , where we learned (and not learned, perhaps) more about him from Kreia. He appeared to be more of a manipulative Sidious-type character.

But where Revan came from, is never answered...directly. Which many things in TSL aren't.
