Revan was born beyond the outer rim, it is not certain.Revan's real name is also unknown.Revan was taught the ways of the force by many masters, some of which are zhar,dorak and master kae before he left for the war,revan went back to his first master to ask him which was the best way to leave the jedi order.Revan studied the force on the system of Dantooine. After the Mandalorians started their crusade, the Jedi had decided not to act while the entire Republic was being destroyed. The Republic then asked the Jedi for their support, but all they do is meditate on the situation. Then a small group of Jedi actually went against the Jedi Counsil in order to join the resistence. The head of this was Revan along with his now new apprentice, Malak. It is thanks to these few Jedi that the Mandalorians were able to be destroyed in the last battle of Malachor V. It is after this that Revan then left into the Unknown Regions only to come back as the new Lord of the Sith. It is then when the Jedi sent a small squadron of Jedi to try to capture Revan but failed when Malak himself opened fire on his masters ship. This left Revan on the verge of death, from which Bastilla managed to save him from by sustaining him with the Force. Revan was alive but his mind was destroyed. The Jedi Counsil then input a new personality into the Sith Lords mind, one loyal to the Republic and the Jedi Council. The following sequence of events eventually lead to Revan finally finding out his true identity, and him defeating Malak and the Star Forge. The Star Forge is a giant space station/factory built by an ancient alien race called the Rakata. It is said that Revan then left once more into the Unknown Regions to fight what Kreia called "The True Sith." He was never heard of again.
