#13. Darth Malak

Darth Malak was a Dark Lord of the Sith during the Old Republic era. Before he was a Sith Lord, Malak went to the Jedi Order to be taught the ways of the Force. But during that time, he wasn’t known as Malak, he was known as Squint. After he became a Jedi Knight, Malak and other Jedi, fled the Jedi Order. Eventually, Malak and Revan became Sith Lords.

Since his jaw was sliced off by his Sith Master, Darth Revan, Malak wore a metal shield that covered the lower half of his face. He was able to speak, but not very clearly. His speech sounded muffled, and robotic. But none of this hindered Malak’s abilities. Malak was extremely skilled with a lightsaber, fighting with a single-bladed lightsaber, Malak’s style of fighting was that of a great beast. Tough, quick and unrelenting. Like many Sith Lords, Darth Malak would channel his anger, rage and hatred into speed, strength and ferocity.
