Mysterious Stranger

The "Mysterious Stranger" was a nickname given to Revan by Ajuur the Hutt when he participated in the dueling tournament on Taris held within the Taris dueling ring in one of the Upper City's cantina.

The name was inspired by Revan's current lack of history on that world, having only just come to the planetary city in the wake of his and Carth Onasi's escape from the attack on the Endar Spire. Revan, with a reprogrammed identity, preferred to compete under his presumed birth name, but Ajuur thought that "Mysterious Stranger" sounded much better; in addition, Carth suggested this anonymity in case the Sith forces occupying Taris had come upon a crew manifest aboard the Endar Spire before its destruction. As the Mysterious Stranger, Revan would go on to fight and defeat Deadeye Duncan, Gerlon Two-Fingers, Ice, Marl and then Twitch. Once he won that fight he was named Taris Dueling Champion and was deemed worthy of a duel to the death by Bendak Starkiller.

The "Mysterious Stranger" nickname reappeared hundreds of years later when the Alliance Commander, participating in the Eternal Championship, was given the nickname by Dominaire.
