What if it's neither revan or nihilus?

How many times do I gotta paste that link. Why is there still speculation. Look closely. It's revan.

How do you reconcile the near-direct quote from Visas talking to Nihilus with Revan? How do you reconcile "residing in shadow and hungry for power" with Revan more clearly than Nihilus being a shadow form (ish) and being called the Lord of Hunger? I just don't see the text lining up with Revan whatsoever, at least not without being so vague that it could apply to any of the sith lords.

This. Artistic license is taken in comics all the time (and that honestly looks like a comic picture to me; even if it isn't, it's certainly drawn and therefore not necessarily going to be a perfect match for anyone's saber in a game or in the Visual Guide). There are similarities between the picture and Revan's saber, yes, but there are also similarities between the picture and Nihilus' saber, too. So we have to look beyond just the picture because it is inconclusive. And the text matches Nihilus to a "T".

Also, if you want to only look at the picture, then how do you explain the spiral curve on the hilt near the ring finger (area)? Revan's saber has no spirals, yet we clearly see one there. So the image isn't a perfect rendition of Revan's saber. The only way this can be explained is that artistic license was taken, and if that is the case then it can't be used to determine the sith in the image because artistic license means it wouldn't match up exactly.
