Revan was power. It was like staring into the heart of the Force. Even then, you could see the Jedi he would slay etched on his soul. Almost a decade ago, the Mandalorians began preying on the Republic. Bringing the fires of war to many planets along the Outer Rim. Their predations continued, winning victory after victory. Until the Republic finally begged the Jedi Council for aid. The Jedi Council counseled caution and patience to asses the Mandalorian threat as the Outer Rim burned. Two Jedi Knights, Revan, and Malak defied the Jedi Council. They challenged the Mandalorian fierceness and brutality on the battlefield with a viciousness of their own. Revan's entrance into the conflict marked the true beginning and end of the war. It was Revan who drove the Mandalorians back into the Unknown Regions. The war's end was merely another beginning, and what seemed a victory for the Republic was far from it. Many believed the Mandalorians were defeated at Malachor V, but the Mandalorians taught the Jedi much through battle. And so it was that Malak, Revan, and the Jedi who followed them discovered their true natures in the Mandalorian crusade. One quickly learns that the Jedi code does not give all the answers. If you are to truly understand, then you will need the contrast. Not adherence to a single idea. As Revan and Malak fought the Mandalorians in battle after battle, they grew to despise weakness, just as the Mandalorians did. In the end, the Mandalorians had taught them through conflict, shaped the Jedi, and turned them into a weapon against the Republic.
