Lucasfilm has released a new character poster along with additional details on the main villain in The Acolyte, a Sith that they are calling The Stranger, but if you saw the last episode, he’s no longer a stranger.
It was confirmed that behind the “Darth Teeth” helmet is the character Qimir, who instructed Mae to murder the Jedi Masters who confronted her mother’s coven years earlier.
The description of the character reads: “With a specialized cortosis gauntlet and a mask permanently twisted into a frightful grin, the Stranger with a red-bladed lightsaber appears as if out of thin air.
“While some may call him a Sith, little is known of this dark sider who has been training Mae Aniseya in secret, hiding his face from his pupil.”
“When needed, he has adopted the alias Qimir, acting as a shiftless drifter and supplier with seemingly no cares at all other than his own amusements.”
This character is extremely powerful and he ends up killing off several Jedi characters. He’s so powerful, it makes you wonder why he needed Mae to hunt down and kill any Jedi in the first place.
There are also details on the Stranger’s helmet. It’s said, “Twisted metal forms a sinister smile on the cortosis helmet that masks the identity of the Stranger and keeps Force-sensitives from peering into their thoughts.
“With no name and no allegiance to the Jedi, this dangerous creature seeks freedom to wield their power as they like.”
As for his lightsaber, “The Stranger’s red-bladed lightsaber conceals a secret: a hidden dagger that can be deployed when the hilt is separated into two parts.”
