Revan’s mask

Just so we’re clear, Revan didn’t take his mask from a Mandalorian leader.
Taken from wookiepedia:

“During the early battles of the Mandalorian Wars, this mask was worn by a Mandalorian female who was present during the Mandalorian Neo-Crusaders' devastation of the Outer Rim world Cathar. After driving the Cathar people into the sea, the woman tried to convince Cassus Fett—who led the attack against the planet—not to kill the Cathar, believing that they had been sufficiently defeated. However, Fett refused and ordered his Mandalorians to exterminate the Cathar; the woman died trying to defend the Cathar as they were slaughtered, and her mask washed up on the shores of the planet.

Ten years later, the Jedi Knight Revan, his friend and fellow Jedi Knight Malak, and their faction of Jedi were on Cathar searching for evidence of the Mandalorians' slaughter of the Cathar people. Vrook Lamar, a member of the Jedi High Council, and a team of Council loyalists arrived on planet and confronted the Revanchists, ordering them to abandon their efforts. During the discussion, Revan noticed the mask which had belonged to the Mandalorian woman and picked it up. When light shone on the mask, all of the Jedi present experienced a vision through the Force of the battle that had taken place a decade prior. After the vision's completion, Revan recognized that the Mandalorian female tried to defend the Cathar and perished as a result of the Mandalorians' desire to massacre defenseless civilians. In honor of her sacrifice, Revan donned her mask, vowing not to remove it until he and his followers brought the Mandalorians to justice.”

I mean I guess you could say he took it. I would say he found it and claimed it. Semantics can be a silly thing but hey if you read all of that at least you know a bit more about Revan

  • He did also take Mandalores mask and hid it. They're not technically wrong
