Darth Revan
Probably the only being revered by both Jedi and Sith mutually as a powerful force user, Darth Revan was once a great Jedi who won the Mandalorian wars before falling to the dark side and started the Jedi civil war.
Then he got a new beginning when he was saved from death from Darth Malek betrayal, His mind was wiped and he became a powerful Jedi and destroyed his own empire. Darth Revan is one of few beings who is a master of the Light side and the Dark side.
He is also known as the Prodigal knight and the Revanchist.
History:
Revan was born nearly 4000 years before the battle of Yavin. At a young age he was recruited as a Jedi and was paired up with Kreia as his Jedi master. When around his 20s he and a few hundred Jedi went to help the republic with the war Against the Mandalorian, and he was the leader of the grope.
At some point he stumbled on a Mandalorian mask and wore it to honour the person who tried to save some civilians from her leader. He eventually won the Mandalorian war at Malachor V.
He then noticed that a Sith empire might be still around so he and Alek went to find it. It brought them to Drummond kaas where they tried to kill the Sith emperor but instead was turned into Sith lords.
Eventually they broke free of the emperor control and killed him, They then went to find the Star forge which they did at Lehon and rallied all of his allies to form His own Sith empire using the Star forge, separate from the empire he just dethroned.
9 years into the Jedi civil war he started he went to Korraban and fought against a little boy who almost defeated him but the boy lost, non the less he recruited him as a Sith lord. During this time he also Made a Holocron which he hid on Lehon.
12 year on he was still dark lord of the Sith until the Battle of Tanis which Darth Malek betrayed him but was saved by some Jedi. He was brought to the Jedi high council and had a mind wipe despite thinking he will be executed.
He was Retrained as a Jedi and was tasked to relocate the location of the Star forge, over the trip he started to fall in love with Bastila Shan. He was nearly close to the location when Darth Malek captured Bastila, making his mission more important to him.
He finally found the Star forge and stormed it to find Bastila, who he was shocked to found that she fallen to the Dark side. Luckily he managed to turn her back to the light side and together they defeated Darth Malek and destroyed the Star forge.
After the war he married Bastila and had a son called Vaner Shan, He himself started to call himself Revan Shan and he died of old age.
Legacy:
Revan as a Jedi is regarded as a republic hero despite his dark past; The Sith also revered him as one of the most powerful Sith to ever exist despite going back to the light side.
Darth Riven named himself after Revan, though he changed the name a bit so he didn't get confused with the ancient Sith. Darth Bane thought he was the most powerful Sith to ever exist after Darth Cardinal.
Darth Sidious Sith empire was a fusion of the republic during the clone wars and Darth Revan's Sith empire.
Darth Cardinal also had the alternative title of Darth Revan II though he never used it, He also possessed his masters helmet. The Mandalorian's respected him despite him being the reason for their defeat in the Mandalorian wars.
